Staring deep into Maurice’s steely eyes, Silas had a feeling that this man must be thinking of a bad idea.

“Well, okay.”

He silently followed Maurice upstairs, and the pair went inside the boy’s room.

“Go ahead and tell me what you want me to do,” Silas said bluntly while looking up at Maurice.

‘What a smart boy!’

Maurice raised his eyebrows and chuckled to himself. After a few seconds, he bent down and whispered something in Silas’ ear.

The bright young boy was very calm, but then his expression slowly changed. At last, he was so shocked at Maurice’s instructions that he could not close his mouth.

Biting his lip in thought, he paused for a moment to assess the situation as a fierce struggle ensued inside Silas’ mind.

Finally, he came up with his own idea.

“I can help you out, but on one condition.”

“Alright. Tell me.”

“After I’ve done my part in assisting you, I want to go to my friend’s home for a sleepover.”

“We have a deal,” Maurice gamely agreed.
