Chapter 387
“Why don’t you take it as a break from having to serve dad?” Karen asked.
Damien did not want to argue with a woman. He was deep in thought, with his face darkening. Miley, on the side, did not hear the undertone of what Karen said. Clueless about what happened, she looked at Karen and then at her husband, trying to persuade him.
“Exactly, Damien. Dad is still sick, and it could be contagious. Having a change of seat isn’t a bad idea after all.”
Damien’s face sank even further upon hearing what Miley said. He took a deep breath and then turned to look at Miley, who knew nothing about what happened in the family and only wanted her daughter to become a star all day long. She simply sounded incomprehensible to him when she said such stupid things.
‘What do you mean by changing sitting position is not a bad thing? Don’t you know what that seat means? I’m afraid that after this meal, my position in the family will be reduced to inconsequentiality. I used to be the person whom Dad trusted the most. I always sat on his right-hand side, where it was more convenient to talk to Dad and report things to and get opinions from him. But now, my position in his heart seems to have been shaken. Even a junior is entitled to take my seat. I can’t stand this anymore!’
Thinking of this, Damien shot a frosty glance at Miley, his sanity stopping him from hitting back at Miley now, but the icy look in his eyes was all too apparent. When he first married this woman from the Rogers family, he thought it would help him in his career.
But now, it seemed that she was not of much help. Miley was frightened by his glance, but she did not understand why.
‘What exactly is Damien mad at me for? I said this out of concern, just wanting him to take a good rest.’
