Chapter 39 Illegitimate Son
South continued, âUncle Silas is quite understanding.â At this point, Camila reckoned that South
would never understand what she was trying to get at. Instead of explaining to him, she held his
hand and walked him toward his room. âLook at you. What I'm trying to say is that there's no
possibility between him and me, so please save your energy on that. Why did you even address his
grandpa as Great-grandpa?â South responded calmly, âI did that entirely for Landon. If I were to
address him as grandpa, that would make me Landonâs uncle.â
Camila was rendered speechless. Who taught this kid these things? The next day, when Camila got
up, it was already 7 AM. Even though she did not think that she had too much alcohol last night, it
still affected her routine when she realized she missed her 6 AM alarm. Perhaps she did not miss it;
she might have heard it and subconsciously snoozed it. Nonetheless, she got up late. So, she quickly
woke South up and made him breakfast. Sending her boy to school today was like a battle. Finally,
they made it to school. However, when they arrived at the school, no teachers were seen but an
opened gate. It was fortunate that there was a plump kid who was also late today. While that kid
was running toward the gate, he ran into South who was about to turn around and bid her
goodbye. Nevertheless, South was not hurt; he merely took a step back while the other kid fell to
the ground.
Eventually, he could not get up no matter how hard he tried. Kicking his legs in a fit, he was
shouting about how his butt was hurting and that he did not want to go to school anymore.
Camila turned around and just as she was about to help him up, a chubby middle-aged woman
rushed over and pushed South. âWhy did you knock into him?â As a kid, there was no way South
could resist that force. Alas, he fell to the ground. Camilaâs face changed completely. She let go of
the other kid who was still on the ground and tugged at that woman. âHow could you push a child?â
That lady fiercely looked up, and when she looked at Camila with her angry eyes, she
was instantly stunned for an instant before coming back to her senses. âIt's you?â Camila took a
deep breath. She did not expect to bump into Miles's mother-Florence Horner! Is that kid... Miles
and Lylaâ's son? Camila let go of Florence before walking up to South and helping him up. âSouth,
are you okay?" South shook his head. âI'm fine.â Camila directed, âGo in then. Don't be late.â She did
not want her son to know about what happened a few years ago. At this moment, Florence walked
up and grabbed South. âWhere do you think you're going? You knocked into my grandson-
shouldn't you apologize before leaving?â Camila looked at her with a scowl and growled, âIt was
your grandson who knocked into my son and fell. Not just that, but you pushed my son without
knowing what happened. You should be the one apologizing!â Florence did not give in. âWhat're
you talking about? If my grandson knocked into him, why would he fall?â Camila still looked angry.
"Why donât you ask your grandson about what happened? You shouldn't blame this on my son!â
Florence quickly looked at her grandson who was still on the ground and grabbed South by his arm
âI don't care. Your son has to apologize to my grandson today. Otherwise, you aren't going
anywhere.â Camila had somewhat lost it. Just as she thought that Florence was elderly so she better
let it slide, Florence did not seem to be going easy on her. Without any words, she forcefully
gripped Florence by her arm, which caused Florence much pain. In the end, Florence had to let go
of South. Being agitated, Florence pushed her with another hand. âAh... Let go of me!â Camila
looked callous. âApologize to my son!â Florence shot South a disapproving look. âMe? That's a joke,
isnt it? Why should I apologize to the b*stard son of a beggar? Let go of me or I'm calling the
police.â
