Chapter 946 He Is Grounded (1/2)
The next day, at four o'clock in the morning
”Victor, have you packed everything?”
Steven had woken up early because his ship was set to sail at 6 am.
”Yes, young master. The car is already waiting for you outside,” Victor muttered under his breath, carrying the luggage.
Steven nodded, took some bags from Victor to lessen his burden, and walked towards the gate.
Just when he arrived at the gate, the light was flicked on. Steven squinted his eyes and covered them with his hand, trying to adjust to the blinding light. When he looked around to see who it was, he heard a voice reverberating across the yard.
”Good morning, Steven. What makes you leave so early? Where are you going?''
Gary asked, leaning against the doorframe with his hands inside the pockets of his coat. Gary was usually sleeping at this hour but had woken up to the sound of Steven leaving.
”Father? Didn't I tell you yesterday that I'd be leaving this morning?” Steven turned around. He was uncomfortable with his father's interrogation.
”Where? Where are you going?”
Gary asked, arching an eyebrow. He was aware of his son's departure but he wanted to hear it from him.
Steven's amber eyes narrowed in confusion. He understood that his father was up to something. ”Yu Sea City, '' he said.
”I know! Gosh! Are you really going to do this, Steven? Yu Sea City? Are you going to tell me the real purpose of your visit or not?”
Gary glared at him.
Steven placed the suitcase on the ground and lowered his eyes. ”Dad, I've already discussed everything with the gallery and we've come to an agreement. I'll seal the deal by signing the contract when I reach Yu Sea City. Didn't I tell you this before?”
”Steven, I'm asking you to tell the truth, not some stupid story that you've crafted to fool your father. I'm your father, Steven. I deserve to know the truth. Are you going to marry her and become her second husband?”
A sense of shame washed over Gary when the words escaped from his mouth. He had spent the last few days studying the customs and traditions of Yu Sea City.
He was aware of the purpose of his son's visit to Yu Sea City.
Steven fell silent before a small smile formed on his lips. ”Dad, what are you talking about? I'm going there to work. You can check my suitcase if you want. There is nothing but paintings, art supplies, and documents in there.
