Chapter 215 Just a Child
After All After exchanging glances, they followed Peacock out of the door understandingly. âHe
finally couldn't hold it in anymore in his father's embrace,â Python remarked. Leopard added, âHis
performance is impressive enough. He's just so young-of course he would be terrified. Damn! That
woman is a f*cking lunatic! If we were late, really can't imagine what would have happened.â Python
replied, âLet's stop talking about this. He seems to care a lot about his pride. Let's pretend that we
don't know about this.â Leopard hummed in agreement before eyeing Peacock, who was silent all
this while. âHey, weren't you very talkative just now? Why are you so quiet?â Python chuckled gently.
âDo you even need to ask? Look at her eyes that were staring at Silas intently. I bet even her soul
has been taken away by him.â Peacock sniffed hard, finally reacting to them. âGoddamn! He is really
handsome!â Leopard looked excited as he spoke, âLook at yourself. Wily Rabbit's mom is also very
beautiful.â
Peacock glared at him in dissatisfaction. âShe's not just beautiful. She's breathtakingly stunning!â
Then she changed her tone. âI used to think that I was the most beautiful woman in the world. Now
only I know that there's always someone better than you. No wonder their child is so good-
looking.â Python laughed. âCan you give up now?â Looking gloomy, Peacock asked, âWhy couldn't
my mom give birth to me a few years later?â Python replied, âYou have gone too far.â Leopard also
added, âYou're hopeless now.â In the conference room, Silas held South's cheeks as he asked gently,
âDid she hit
you?"
South shook his head. âNo.â Silas didnât rush him into anything and held him as they sat on the
couch. âYou can tell me the truth,â he coaxed. With tears welling in his eyes, South pouted
stubbornly, refusing to cry. Silas patted his back gently to console him. âI won't tell mommy.â South
sniffed. âShe pinched my face and my arms. She also threw me on the floor and held a knife in her
hands, saying that she was going to disfigure me. After some time, she said she was going to throw
me off the building and die with me. B-But I didn't cry; not even once!â
He still tried to look tough even though tears were welling in his eyes.
Silas felt so sorry for him that his eyes burned in pain. His body shook as he gently consoled South,
âDonât be afraid. Everything's fine now. I promise you that this won't happen again.â South gently
lifted his chin with a haughty expression on his face. âBut her plan failed because I had this. I called
the headquarters immediately, and they arrived quickly. I asked them to strangle her. Actually,
Peacock and Leopard hit her until she was on the floor.â With that, he pulled out a necklace with a
ruby stone on it. âAs soon asf press this, it means that I'm in danger. There's a location tracking
device in it, so they figured out where I was quickly,â he explained. Silas caressed his hair as he
exclaimed in a hoarse voice, âYou're so smart, son!â He wanted to say something else, but his heart
hurt so much that he could not utter another word. If they hadn't arrived just in time, I canât imagine
what would have happened. As if he had felt Silas's pain, South patted his back with his little hand.
With a young, childlike voice, he said, âI'm fine. Don't tell mommy about this! She'll cry!â Silas
tightened his embrace on South and nodded. Why is my son so mature? He's not even seven-he's
at an age to rebel and throw tantrums, yet he is already so thoughtful. He knows that he is a boy
who should protect his mother, but he forgets that he is just a child after all.
