The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 488

In the dead of night, with the lights off and still in the bedroom!

"Damn it, Percival! What have you done to my daughter? She's still a minor!"

Percival looked into Dorian's fuming eyes with a hint of resignation, "We were just talking."

"Talking? Why in the dark? Were you two kissing like Isolde said, right here in the room?" Thaddeus giggled behind his hand.

Isolde had spilled everything to Thaddeus, including when she overheard Vivienne and Percival kissing in the bedroom!

Dorian's eyes seemed to bulge even more.

Cordelia's cheeks flushed as she pulled Thaddeus away. "Thaddeus, stop making things up. Vivienne and Percival were just... doing homework. Yeah, that's it. Now you better finish yours." Thaddeus snickered and scampered off to his room with his backpack.

Percival deliberately avoided Dorian's gaze and cleared his throat, "Mom, Dad, I should head out."

With that, Percival made a beeline for the door.

The more he thought about Thaddeus's words, the guiltier he felt!

Where the heck was Leopold when he was supposed to be on the lookout?

Leopold and Anna were indeed on duty, standing guard with due diligence.

When Percival emerged from the house, Leopold dropped his guard and approached. "All sorted out, Percival?"

Percival responded with a swift kick to Leopold's rear. "Didn't you see someone go upstairs?"

Anna and Leopold looked baffled, nodding in unison.

"We saw, we even texted you."

Especially Leopold, rubbing his backside with a woebegone expression. He had sent Percival the message the moment he saw Dorian's family within thirty feet!
