Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1148

Noah kept his head bowed, his face the picture of misery. He had no idea what he had even done wrong.

But Sebastian hadn't heard a satisfactory answer, and his tone only grew colder and heavier.

"Noah, do you still not understand what you did wrong today?"

Already overwhelmed with grievance, Noah burst into tears at Sebastian's harsh reprimand. He lifted a hand to wipe his eyes, and it was only then that Sebastian noticed the blood on the back of the boy's hand.

He reached out and pulled Noah closer.

"Look at yourself. Is this how a man acts? What did I teach you on the way here? I told you to call her Mom, not to throw a tantrum and act like a spoiled brat in her house. Do you have any idea that you ruined my plans today? And you still have the nerve to cry? Let me tell you right now—if you can't win your mother's heart, you can forget about staying by my side."

Tears pooled in Noah's eyes. He didn't dare let them fall, completely confused by what Sebastian meant.

"What are you looking at? Listen to me. I don't care if you actually like her or not, but from now on, you are going to pretend you do. In two days, I'm taking you back to apologize. Until then, you will sit in your room, reflect on your behavior, and write an eight-hundred-word apology letter detailing exactly where you went wrong. And these are just superficial scratches. Someone will patch you up when we get back. Cry one more time, and see if I don't throw you out of this car right now."

Noah was utterly terrified into silence. The moment he felt a tear threaten to spill, he immediately wiped it away.

Sebastian was clearly out of patience. Having said his piece, he pulled out his laptop and began handling company emails.

The car pulled up to the Blake Group headquarters. Sebastian abandoned Noah in the vehicle and headed straight for the building.
