Volume 1 Chapter 12: Revenge

Sophia spoke up and stopped the three from fighting. She took Keith off Eric's hand.

She brought him close and stated, "Sorry to tell you this. But Keith's favorite is his mother."

Sophia said with a confident expression. This was something she had to fight on. There was no way Sophia could lose this title to her sons. She was the one who spent the most time with Keith.

"..." The three stared at her. They were all dumbfounded by this. They had never seen someone so childish. But Alvin fought back and stated,

"Sorry, Mother. But I think I'm better. Keith always sits in my lap when we read."

This always happened. When Keith arrived at the library, he sat in Alvin's lap as he read. Sophia would watch them on the sidelines.

"..." You brat. Sophia wanted to spank someone right now. The gunpowder in this room was strong as the maids and butlers shivered at how they acted. One of the maids whispered,

"May, shouldn't you join this fight?" Out of everyone, the one who knew Keith the longest was May. But May shook,

"I'm not going to join this."

"Why not?"

"I can accept the young master's favorite being one of his family members. However, I take the number one spot for maids and butlers." She didn't mind. She couldn't beat family. But May understood she would always be number one among the maids and butlers.

"..." The butlers and maids didn't know what to say. But they were angry. That expression on her face was irritating! In this room, there were two battles. One with the family and the other between the butlers and maids.

The four kept on arguing till Carter and the other maids told them they had things to do.

...

At night, Keith had a smile on his face. He couldn't be more than happy about what had happened today. Everyone looked happy. The way they talked to one another was funny.

It reminded him of his previous life with his parents. They would argue over the most ridiculous things. While he thought about what had occurred,

Hmm? He heard the sound of the door opening. Keith turned his head to see who it was. His eyes widened when he saw who it was. It was none other than William!

He walked up to his son to see that he was staring right back at him. William blinked a couple of times,

"You still haven't gone to bed?"

"Da!" No, I can't sleep at all. He was sleeping so much that he would need to take some time to sleep at night.

William retorted, "Don't scream so loud."

"Ah." Keith stayed silent. William didn't say anything either as he continued to watch Keith. William leaned his body onto the crib. He raised his hand and started to poke his cheeks.

"!" Keith blinked a few times. What are you doing?

"They were right. Your cheeks are really plushy." There had been a lot of rumors about Keith. William heard about it all. Most of them were like myths. But there was a particular rumor about his cheeks.

He could hear the maids and butlers talking about it.

"The young master's cheeks are so soothing!"

"I feel like all the pain I felt is gone!"

Keith's maids kept discussing it. The expression they had was something he had never seen. And he saw Sophia nodding to it all. And he grew curious about it.

Hey! Keith was really going to fight someone! Keith started to move around like a madman, ready for a fight!

"Eh?" William's expression dropped when he saw that. William looked around, wondering what to do. He quickly picked him up,

"Sorry about that. Don't be angry." He tried his best to soothe him by rocking him in his arms. And it worked. Well, the rocking didn't work.

Keith stopped moving and stared at William. But then he raised his hand and poked William's cheeks! William stared at him,

"Did you want to get revenge?" There was a smug expression on Keith's face as he said this. This was revenge.

"Pff." William chuckled as he patted his head,

"You're an interesting kid."

You too, Father! Keith thought of William as the cold and mysterious handsome man. But it turned out he was the opposite.

"Abba!" Keith waved his hand into the air! William tilted his head,

"Do you want to play?"

"Ah, Ah!" Yeah! William understood, but as he wondered what to play. He looked around and noticed a ball on the floor.

He picked it up, "Here," He lightly tossed it to Keith, and the latter caught it.

"Ah!" Keith tossed it back to William. The two kept doing this for a while before Keith was tired again.
