Chapter 1484
The family had become more ruthless than herself, and so Mia noticed her gradually lowered status within the family. Alas, if she had known this would happen, she would not have sent Levi to the army. Now that she had no one to bully, she felt extremely displeased!
Without Levi around, all she had left was Neil. After returning home, Mia sat in the living room and waited for Neil to return home. After he finally got home, she yelled at him, "Neil, it's all your fault!"
Neil was baffled. "What did I do to annoy you?"
Mia said, "Return my son to me."
Neil said, "Levi?"
Mia asked, "Besides him, do I have other sons?"
Neil said, "I have told you to rethink this but you insisted on sending him to the army. Who's to blame?"
Mia asked, "Then why didn't you stop me?"
Knowing how she was, Neil did not want to prolong his conversation with her. He turned and walked towards the bedroom.
Mia immediately got to her feet and followed behind, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Neil warned her, "Mia, that's enough. Stop being quarrelsome!"
Mia put both of her hands on her waist and said angrily, "What do you mean by that? Why are you all bullying me? You won't even let me see my son. What else could I hope for you to do for me?!"
Neil slowly undressed in front of Mia. He made his way to the bathroom in the nude as she watched. Seeing this, Mia could not help but swallow her saliva. "Old pervert!"
D*mn it, knowing that he could not win in an argument with her, he could only do that. He obviously knew that she could not resist his seductive body!
Neil said, "Want to bathe together?"
Mia picked his clothes up and threw them at him. "Go to h*ll. I'm telling you, if you don't let me see my son, you're not allowed to come back to the room and sleep with me in your arms. Don't come near me. Don't..."
Neil suddenly scoffed.
Mia asked, "Why did you scoff?"
Neil replied, "You're sure you don't know?"
Mia was truly flabbergasted.
This old pervert.
He was always fooling around!
Mia calmed her beating heart and said, "Make some arrangements tomorrow and have Levi come home to accompany me for a day."
Neil did not respond, but Mia knew that he would not refuse. Now she just needed to think about how she could bully Levi, that brat!
In the blink of an eye, Levi had already been in the army for a few weeks.
In the beginning, he did not want to be there at all. But now, he had gradually adapted to the training intensity.
Just like any other day, he had lunch and was about to go back to the dormitory to rest. When he was about to head upstairs, he heard his name on the radio and was asked to go to the captain's office alone. Levi immediately ran for the office and knocked on the door, "Sir!"
A voice came from the room. "Come in."
After entering the office, Levi realized that it was not his captain asking for him, but his father. His face instantly fell and he was about to turn to leave.
Neil stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Levi ignored him, wanting to leave the room.
Neil shouted commandingly, "9987!"
9987 was Levi's Service Number in the army. This was the formal way for superiors to address subordinates. Seeing that Levi was ignoring him and was about to leave, he could only stop him by exerting his authoritative power as his superior.
Although he was reluctant to do so, Levi still stopped and immediately got into a formal stance. "Greetings, Colonel!"
Every day, Neil received news of Levi's training and his every move. He was surprised that his lazy son could perform so well in such a short period of time. What a shock!
Neil said in a rather fatherly tone, "Well, there are no outsiders here. You don't have to be so formal."
Levi stood straight and replied, "As long as we're in the military base, we have to be formal."
The corners of Neil's mouth twitched. He said, "I'll give you a day off today. Go home and keep your parents company."
Levi said, "Sir, my parents are both dead. I
don't have to keep them company."
Neil let out an icy breath and tried to suppress his explosive temper, but he just could not hold it in. "Levi, are you asking to be beaten up? If you don't mind, I'd be glad to oblige."
Levi replied, "Sir, you are the highest ranking official in Chatterton Town Military Base. If you want to punish me, someone will do it for you. You don't have to do it yourself. Just like how I was treated when I firs arrived. You may do as you please."
Neil knew that he went overboard when he sent Levi to the Military Base and ordered his men not to go easy on him. But he was the one who came and approached Levi today. Perhaps Levi should be given some face. Finally, Neil said, "Your mother misses you."
Levi replied, "Sir, I don't have a mother. I came out of an egg."
Neil did not know how to respond to that.
Levi continued, "Sir, if there's nothing else, I'll go take my rest. If I don't rest well, I won't be able to perform at training later. I hope you can understand."
Neil said coolly. "Fine, you may leave."
"Thank you, Sir," After that, Levi gave a standard military salute to Neil, turned around, and walked away in proper military steps. However, as soon as he set one foot out of the office, a few soldiers stood in his path. "Wh-what do you want?!"
Without saying a word, they surrounded Levi and lifted him up together.
Behind him, Neil smiled and said, "In the Military Base, I can teach you a lesson however I want, brat!"
Levi had gone home.
However, he was brought home without his consent., carried home by a few men.
He was so furious that he wanted to blow up his home if he could!
It was true. He had never seen parents like this in his life. He felt like he was not their son, but just a plaything to them.
Levi was on the edge of exploding in frustration. However, Mia did not seem to realize how excessive her actions were. She greeted Levi happily, "Levi, to welcome you home, I've cooked for you. Are you happy? Are you touched?"
Happy?
Touched?
Levi only wanted to weep.
He clearly knew how 'amazing' his mother's cooking was. Seemingly, she had forced him home not because she was repenting of her mistakes, but that she wanted to kill him in another way. Mia came close to him and said with a smile, "Kid, are you moved beyond words?"
Levi replied, "Mrs. Brown, is there any rat poison at home?"
