He had thought that he might just end up dying without getting to find out, but when Lucas came into his life, and wanted to make it, he knew that Mr. Galileo would really help him develop his business if only he was willing to be patient and tolerant of the man.Hence why he took the liberty to first introduce Lucas to Mr. Galileo back then.

Surely they must have looked for you when you left home to be a butler to the rich, you don’t seem to be living a hard time back then, why didn’t didn’t they look for you? They could have easily found you and thought him a lesson.” The curiosity in Lucas kept pushing him to ask too many questions. “My parents didn’t want to find me, I know that for sure, because of me, they were humiliated and ridiculed by the other family members, they were called all sort of names and practically made out to be outcasts in the family all because of me, wacky is, they were originally still tackling their inferiority complex when this happened, they couldn’t take it again, they couldn’t handle themselves let alone me.”“ it was better for me to go away from them before I added any problem to them, and I didn’t blame them for not checking up on me all these years, because I knew at the
