Chapter 1465
As Kisa looked up, she heard the sound of dishes crashing onto the ground, making a sharp and distinct noise. Suddenly, her heart leaped as she saw Peter. But something was different about him. He no longer had the same arrogant and reckless demeanor he used to have. He appeared thinner and worn, with a hint of despair and bitterness on his face.
“You ungrateful son, what’s wrong with you? Can’t you see we have guests?” Mr. Webb Sr. rushed over, taking two steps at a time, and threw a punch at Peter.
Peter shrugged nonchalantly, his gaze skipping over Kisa and Gilbert. With a light chuckle, he said, “Oh, it’s them. They’ve finally arrived.” Then he turned and walked upstairs, exuding a menacing aura that was hard to ignore.
Mr. Webb Sr. was both angry and helpless. He asked a servant beside him, “Why’s he so moody again?”
“He lost his temper at us because his upstairs guest didn’t like the food. As if it’s our fault.”
Kisa furrowed her brow slightly. ‘His upstairs guest? What did that mean?”
Mr. Webb Sr. coughed awkwardly and said, “Never mind, everyone, please get back to work. Butler, please prepare a nice room for our guests.”
Kisa glanced upstairs and felt that something was off about Peter.
Thomas who was standing nearby smiled and explained, “My younger brother hasn’t been feeling great lately, so I hope you won’t hold it against him.”
“Did something happen to him? He seemed fine when we were in Calthon,” Kisa asked.
Thomas gave a gentle smile and said, “Nothing really happened. He’s just upset about the arranged marriage my dad set up for him, so he’s been giving him a hard time.”
“Alright, let’s get the guests to the dining room,” Mr. Webb Sr. urged, cutting the conversation short.
Kisa pursed her lips, not giving it much thought.
“Mr. Kooper, since you’ve come to Oceanville, you’ve got to spend a few extra days here.” Mr. Webb Sr. raised his glass to Gilbert with enthusiasm.
Gilbert returned the gesture and said, “That’s exactly what I was thinking, but I don’t want to bother you too much.”
