The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313

Maurice and Edward’s eyes locked on like magnets for the longest time.

As Maurice was about to speak up, he suddenly heard a disdainful snort from the passenger seat ahead.

Felix had remained silent the entire time but secretly thought, "Hah! That Edward is practically a dummy at this point.I doubt he'll respond to Maurice."

Maurice’s heart almost fell out of his chest when he reached to touch Edward’s shoulder.

As soon as he detected an abnormality with the latter, he retreated two steps away and withdrew his hand.

"y-You! W-What on earth are you? How did you possess Mr.Elliott? H-He was just sitting next to me a moment ago!" he muttered.

His voice tremored so much that it took Edward a long while to understand what he was saying.

As Edward thought about how to respond, new emotions and speculations arose in Maurice’s mind.

When Edward finally composed himself, prepared an adequate response, and turned to look at the boy, he found the latter retreating while curling into a ball like a frightened animal.

That instantly left Edward lost for words.His forehead creased with a frown at Maurice.

Instead of voicing his appalled feelings, he tried to keep quiet.

Still, helplessness grew like a hurricane in his heart.So, he took a few deep breaths as he massaged his temple.

"If you keep behaving like that, I can’t guarantee I won’t throw you out on the streets this once."

After saying that, Edward reached out to grab Maurice’s belt, dragging the latter closer to him again.

Maurice’s arms shot downward to his belt, but even with both hands, he barely had enough strength to resist Edward’s pull.

When he snapped out of his shocked daze, he was already back to sitting beside Edward.

Seeing the frowning Edward, he sighed and tested out the waters.

"Mr.Elliott? Were you umm—well, if I may ask, where was your mind earlier?"

Edward rolled his eyes, not hesitating to smack the back of the boy’s head lightly.

"I’ve been in the car this entire time.I was merely thinking about other things, so I didn’t respond to your question."

He then raised a finger and added, "That was the first thing I wanted to tell you.Now, let’s move on to the second thing.novelebook I know your imaginative mind leads you to many fantastical thoughts.You may turn those ideas into written fiction, but you shouldn't use them to speculate about others as you please."

Maurice’s eyes widened.

That was the first time anyone lectured him about that, so he lowered his head gradually, his mind focusing on the empty driver’s seat.

Darius’ presence still lingered in the air, despite him already stepping out of the car.

He kept a close eye on the rearview mirror, where Maurice’s every expression could be clearly seen.

He could not help smiling when he noticed Maurice getting lectured and the boy’s head lowering in apology without any retaliation.

However, Darius’ breathing shifted immediately after.
