Chapter 672 I’m A Goner

“Good morning, teacher.” Lil Millet greeted them once he got out of the car. When he saw his teacher holding his bag, he looked up and asked, “Teacher, did my mommy deliver my bag?” The teacher who was in a daze came back to her senses and nodded her head. “Yes, your mommy just delivered this bag and said that someone was going to drop you at school later. Is this… your daddy?” She could not be blamed for asking because they both look alike, like father and son. Lil Millet turned to look at Mason who had got out of the car when he heard his teacher’s question. He was still mad at Mason after what Madeleine said yesterday, but since they were in public, Lil Millet still wanted to maintain Mason’s dignity, thus he nodded his head. The teachers were shocked. They had never seen Lil Millet’s father since the beginning and were always guessing who he could be. Now that they met him, they were amazed at how handsome he looked. “I’ll pick you up in the afternoon?” Mason ignored everyone and walked over to Lil Millet, knelt in front of him, and cupped the back of Lil Millet’s head with his large palm. Lil Millet thought about it and shook his head. “I have lunch in school.” Mason thought about it and nodded in agreement. “Okay then. I’ll pick you up in the evening.” Lil Millet nodded his head. “Go in then.” Mason patted his back. At the same time, he heard an amazed tone nearby. “Are you Young Master Yeich?” Mason and Lil Millet looked up at the same time when they heard it. They saw a middle-aged man with glasses standing in front of them. When the man saw Mason, he nervously rubbed his hands together and looked at Mason. His eyes immediately widened in shock. “Y-Young Master Yeich, is this your… son?” Mason glanced at the man and realized that he did not know who this was, but in front of his son, he felt that he should not act so coldly, thus he nodded his head in response. Legend has it that Young Master Yeich of Yeich Group was an arrogant and proud man. He never spared any glance to unknown people, but today, that man received a response from Young Master Yeich. This middle-aged man felt excited and felt that Mason was not as difficult to get to know as what legend said? Out of his excitement, he stretched out his hand at Mason for a handshake. “Hello, Y-Young Master Yeich, I-I-I… I’m the manager of Lenny Properties. I’m…” Mason frowned in annoyance. ‘What is this fella trying to do?’ While the man was introducing himself, Mason patted on Lil Millet’s bag and said, “Go in then, don’t just stand there.” Lil Millet blinked his eyes at Mason before he looked at the man who was stuttering and asked, “Why is he afraid of you?” Mason felt his body stiffened the moment Lil Millet said that. “Is it because you’re a scary person?” Lil Millet blinked his eyes innocently but nobody knew the cunning facade behind this innocent mask. ‘I’ve just met him and he already has a bad impression of me. If he were to find out that his father is someone difficult to get along with, wouldn’t that worsen his impression of me?’ Mason thought about it for a moment and began to feel conflicted. He smiled stiffly. “Why would I be a scary person? I’m a nice person, not scary at all.” He then looked at the middle-aged man next to them and gave a shallow smile. “What was your name again?” The man with glasses was stunned for quite a while before he extended his hand for a handshake and said, “I-I said that I’m a manager at Lenny Properties. I’ve always admired you and hope that someday I’d be able to collaborate with your company…” The man even took the opportunity to pull out a name card and gave it to Mason. “T-this is my name card.” His hands trembled as he passed Mason his name card with a smile that looked like he was all ready to suck up to Mason and was worried that he would be embarrassed if Mason refused to take his name card. Somehow the other onlookers felt nervous for the man as well. Lil Millet had been keeping his attention on Mason, so no matter how much of a clean freak Mason was, he had to stand up and receive the man’s name card under the watchful eyes of his innocent son. When the man saw that Mason had taken his card, his body trembled further that his eyes reddened in excitement. Mason wanted to show Lil Millet that he was a friendly person, thus he gave his name card to that man as well. “This is mine.” The man received Mason’s name card and was extremely shocked that he had not regained his senses. “Thank you, thank you, Young Master Yeich. I will treasure this card well. Can I… shake hands with you?” The man extended his hand once again and eagerly looked at Mason. It was a great challenge for someone like Mason who did not like touching foreign objects or strangers, what more shaking hands with an unknown man. The veins on Mason’s forehead throbbed as he looked at the man with a warning gaze. Unfortunately, the man was already over the moon that he did not notice the warning signals coming from Mason’s eyes. Mason glanced at Lil Millet and noticed that the boy was still looking at him. Left with no choice, Mason smiled and extended his hand to shake hands with that man. The middle-aged man’s excitement was out of the moon and kept his hand as if it was a treasure. His expression gave the feeling as if he would never wash his hands ever again if he could. “Good boy. I’m a friendly person, so you don’t need to be afraid of me. Go into your school now.” Mason was feeling uncomfortable after shaking hands with a stranger. Lil Millet noticed how Mason was holding back and found it hilarious but he nodded his head and said, “Okay.” He walked toward his school but turned around to wave goodbye to Mason. Mason was finally relieved once Lil Millet was no longer in his sight. He turned around to see that middle-aged man still on cloud nine and he left with a poker face. Mason was feeling uncomfortable all over his body after shaking hands with an unknown man. Once inside his car, he sat inside the driver seat, took out his handkerchief with an icy expression, and carefully wiped his whole hand, not missing any nook or cranny. Once he was done wiping, he threw the handkerchief into a nearby dustbin. After some time, he leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes in defeat. ‘It’s going to be difficult to get into that kiddo’s good books. ‘When will he call me daddy?’ Mason pursed his lips and opened his eyes once again. ‘Why did she send his school bag so early but didn’t stay back to wait? Is she afraid of seeing me? ‘Why is she afraid? Is she afraid of being questioned by me? Or is she feeling guilty that she dared not face me?’ Mason tugged on his tie with frustration at those thoughts because he realized that whatever was her reason, he was still irritated by it. After some time, his car finally left the school gates and the teachers began gossiping with each other. “Was that Lil Millet’s father? He looks so handsome.” “He is, and he looks rather familiar. I think I’ve seen him somewhere…”
