The Rise Of The Lost Heir Astrian

Chapter 4

A lady gave a slight bow. "Speak!" she said. "There's a new cook. I have tested him and he's really good," the lady spoke. "Oh, he?" Lady Rose asked as she nodded.

Just then Ray started marching towards her with a very angry face. The lady next to Rose shivered as she moved backwards. Rose, knowing what was about to happen, folded her hands. Before she knew it, a slap landed on her face. Everyone present gasped, including Thyme. "How could he slap an old woman, enough to be his mother?" he screamed in his head as he watched the scene.

"How dare you?!" Rose screamed. "How dare you too talk to my mother that way? Are you alright?" he yelled at her. Rose scoffed. She was trying her best to keep calm. "Is it because I am not saying anything about your rascal behavior that's why you have to talk to my mother that way?" Ray continued. "What are you going to do, you fool? You dare slap me with that filthy hand?" Rose yelled too. "You know I can sack you, right?" Ray was getting angrier. "And you know I can ruin your life, right?" Rose whispered. "How?" Ray laughed, glaring at her. "And remember I'm your aunt and I'm also not working for you," she whispered in his ear. "You!" he was about to slap her again when someone screamed his name.

"Ray!" she called. He looked up and his eyes met with his wife's. Every maid immediately departed. She walked close to him, folding her hands. "So you're getting worse day after day? You slapped her," she asked, shocked. Ray just kept mute as she scoffed. "I'm really sorry, Aunt. Don't be offended by his foolish action," Mia apologized. "It's okay, my daughter. I don't blame him," she rolled her eyes and left. Mia just shook her head in frustration and left for her room as well. Ray followed her, calling her name, but she didn't even turn to look at him. She entered their room and he did as well.

Gorya collected the ice cream from the ice cream man. "Wow! So you're telling me your dad treats you that way?" her best friend asked and she nodded. "You seriously have to consider coming to stay with me," Lisa pouted. "I have a mission to accomplish," Gorya licked her ice cream. "What's that?" Lisa asked. "I overheard Tina and her mom saying something," Gorya stopped as she rested on a tree, looking worried. "What's happening?" Lisa asked worriedly.

"What!" Lisa screamed after listening to all that Gorya had just said. "Yeah, they are really after something," Gorya was worried. "Tell your father quickly or else it would be late," Lisa advised. "Well, sadly my dad won't listen to me," Gorya sighed sadly. "You just have to be careful and do something quickly."

Ray later called his mom on the phone. On the second ring, she picked up the call. "What!" she yelled first. "I'm sorry, Mom, for allowing her to abuse you that way," Ray begged. He just heard his mom hiss as he sighed. "I'm sure she won't ever dare to talk to you that way because I slapped the madness out of her," Ray spoke proudly. "You did what?" Agnes asked, surprised. "I slapped her," he repeated. "That's my son. She will finally know her place," Agnes laughed. "Now, I forgive you," Agnes smiled over the phone. "So when are my grandchildren coming home?" Agnes asked. "Next week, Mom," he replied. Just then he turned to see his wife resting on the wall. "Mom, I'll call you back." He cut the call and walked up to her, but she was already walking towards the bed.

"Mia," he called, but she didn't even turn to look at him, let alone answer him. "I'm talking to you!" He didn't realize when he yelled at her. She faced him angrily. "You dare shout at me that way?" she yelled too. "Just answer me, okay?" He calmed his voice. "I've restrained myself from talking to you since the day you cheated on me with that low-life bitch," she yelled, tears threatening to drop from her eyes. She afterward left the room. He sat ruffling his hair. Mia got to the guest room, shutting it behind her. She just wiped her tears. "It's useless," she muttered. Her phone rang. Checking the caller, she frowned really hard. "What the fuck does he want?" she almost yelled. She cut the call, resting on the bed. He called again, and this time she angrily picked it up. "What do you want from me?" she yelled, frustrated. "Calm down, darling. I just wanted to hear your sweet voice," he spoke flirty. "You old shameless man, leave me alone. What we had was a huge mistake which I still regret," she spoke straightforwardly. She was about to hang up when he spoke. "Don't even try to hang up because you won't like the consequences," he spoke sternly. "What do you want?" she asked.

Thyme was finally set to go home. He rinsed his hands well, putting off the apron. He walked up to where his bag was hung and took it. He walked up to the lady he had talked to earlier. "Hey, I'm done," he said. She looked up to meet his gaze. "Alright, but you have to go see Lady Rose," she said. "Who's that?" he asked. "The head worker," she replied. He just nodded and followed her. They halted when an old woman walked close to them. He immediately realized her to be the woman the boss had slapped. "He's ready to leave," Riley said. "You can leave us," she said. Riley left afterwards. "I'm really sorry for how you were treated a while ago," Thyme spoke first. "Well, it's nothing," Rose just kept on staring at him, which made him really nervous.

Thames sat on the couch, crossing his legs and reading a newspaper. He heard a knock on the door before standing to go check who it was. Seeing the person who stood right in front of him, his mouth dropped. "What are you doing here?" he asked.
