“T-That brat…”
Phil pointed in the direction of the door from which Jasper had left and said without knowing whether to laugh or cry, “Back then I thought Kayden was the steadiest and Fabian was the most maniacal among the younger generation in Harbor City. From the looks of it now, this kid might defeat both of them.”
“The moment I saw him, I thought of something,” Morrie said.
All the people of their generation trusted Morrie’s judgment. He never made a mistake when it came to judging one’s character.
“This feels like the plot of Lolita.” Morrie let out a sigh gently and said softly.
Upon hearing that, Zachary stared blankly at Morrie before guffawing.
While he was laughing, his face was filled with the same sort of gratification and complacency that one would feel when his peers finally acknowledged the junior he had his set sights on.
Zachary’s love for this young man was not to be outdone by his love for his biological son.
Phil shook his head. Although he was shocked by Jasper’s finesse and wisdom, he felt Morrie was exaggerating when he said that.
The plot of Lolita?
Did this mean that Jasper was Humbert and all of the younger generations in Harbor City were Lolita?
What a joke.
