To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1358

As he was deep in thought, the door to the meeting room opened. He looked over instinctively.

Gilbert, who was in a navy suit, walked into the meeting room. His gaze was calm, and he looked at Octavius emotionlessly. He sat on the couch, then finally glared at him. "What are you here for?" he said in an unpleasant tone. That was to be expected. He didn't feel very warmly toward the Bradshaws.

Octavius snapped back to reality. He looked at the total stranger of a son before him, suddenly at a loss for words. He no longer saw that child on Gilbert's face. He was a stranger, an intimidating one at that.

He took a deep breath and said, "I…You know that I am your father, don't you?"

If he could investigate Gilbert, Gilbert could investigate him, too.

Gilbert didn't answer. He asked, "I don't care who you are. Why are you here?"

Octavius paled, not expecting Gilbert to be this rude. "Son, you truly wandered off and got lost back then. Your mother and I have tried to find you all these years. You can't blame us for that!"

Gilbert sneered, saying nothing.

"On top of that, you were already six or seven years old when you got lost. You should have remembered us. Why didn't you try to find us?" According to Octavius' logic, even if Gilbert was kidnapped and had no way of escape, he should have had the power to find them when he grew older. But he didn't. If Esther hadn't found him, they might never have known that their son was in Bardoff City and had grown to be so brilliant.

Gilbert was nonchalant at first. But when he heard Octavius' words, he grew bewildered. "You're saying I was six or seven when I got lost?"

"That's right. I even got you to memorize our phone numbers. Logically speaking, you would have contacted us the moment you could." Octavius just couldn't understand why Gilbert had never reached out to them all these years.
