Chapter 151

Chapter 151

When Brian antved at the school, Jacob was standing in the hallway as punishment.

The moment Jaceb saw Brian, he hung his head like a child caught red–handed.

Brian frowned and headed straight to the teachers office to speak with the homernom teacher, Samantha Zan

“Jacob said he left school without permission to buy something for his mother. When I asked why he couldn’t wait until after school, ha refused to explain,” Samantha said.

She had already spoken with Jacob and knew he’d only gone to a nearby store to buy something for Jessica.

“Ms. Zane, I’ll have a talk with Jacob about this. Thank you for letting me know,” Brian said,

“You’re welcome, Mr. Alkinson. But as parents, you really should pay more attention to your child’s emotional development.”

“will” After leaving the office, Brian arranged for Jacob to i

a to take the rest of the day off.

“Pack up your things. We’re going home,” Brian said.

“Okay,” Jacob mumbled.

They drove home in complete silence. Once there, Brian remembered that Jacob hadn’t eaten lunch yet. He reheated the leftover food earlier and brought it out so they could eat together.

Throughout the meal, Brian didn’t ask about the incident at school.

Brian and Jacob ate in silence while Sylvie, hearing the commotion, peeked out from her room. She hesitated at the doorway, unsure whether to approach given the tense atmosphere between them. “Why isn’t Mr. Jacob Atkinson at school at this hour?‘ she wondered.

Only after they finished eating did Sylvie tiptoe over to clear the dishes.

“Come upstairs with me,” Brian said, heading to the third–floor study.

Jacob followed reluctantly. As far as he could remember, he’d rarely been to the third floor. That was where Brian worked.

“Tell me why you left school without permission. Jacob, do you have any idea what you’re doing? If something happened to you, how could face your mother?” Brian’s face turned cold, his stern expression frightening.

Jacob’s throat tightened, and tears started flowing.

“Answer me!” Brian’s voice grew harsher at Jacob’s silence. He rarely had to discipline the boy.

In the past, Jessica handled all of Jacob’s matters, big and small.

“I wanted to buy fresh blueberries for Mom. The store owner said his blueberries sell out really fast once they arrive.” Jacob’s explanation was cut short as he burst into loud sobs.

He had asked Samantha for permission to leave, but when the teacher refused, Jacob snuck out anyway.

Brian fell silent, watching Jacob cry so pitifully. His heart softened, and his tone became gentler, “Next time you want to do something, you need to tell your teacher and get permission first. Do you understand?”

Jacob nodded while sniffling. won’t do it again.”

Brian ruffled his hair comfortingly. “Where are the blueberries you bought for Mom?”
