Butler Max looked behind him as he noticed Mila's eyes move towards the wall in an animated way. She kept on staring at the photo on the wall and then her gaze quickly landed on his master.
'What is this girl thinking right now? Don't tell me she is going to use the young master to escape from this situation!' Butler Max's eyes opened wide in astonishment.
Once Mila confirmed that they both do resemble each other, she straight away said with a loud screech, "I will give you a grandson, if you let me live."
There was a pin drop silence for a moment in that huge hall. Even the howling wolves tucked their tails in between their legs and backed away. Butler Max almost lost the strength on his legs and had to hold the wall behind him to support himself.
The only person who did not have any chance was Harold. He examined the girl from top to bottom with an expressionless face. He tried to read her mind by staring at her face. As he could not understand the girl's intention, he asked her, "Grandson?"
"Yes, a grandson or a granddaughter or even both, if you would like!" Mila said with such a confidence which made everyone think that she might already be pregnant with their young master's seeds.
Even the wolves were so careful to not make any sound in fear of frightening the new young master who was yet to come into this world. They all walked backwards and did not stop until their backs hit the wall.
Harold was shocked to hear such random words from this newcomer's mouth. He could not believe his ears and tried his best to process the words the young girl just uttered.
"Have you met my son?" He asked her as he tried to understand the girl's mind.
"Yes… I mean no… not yet. But I know everything about him." She said with oozing confidence.
She has been an intense follower of him and had gathered every tiny detail about him which was shared to the outside world. So, in a way, she does know about him very well through the tabloid gossip.
Harold controlled his urge to roll his eyes at the innocent girl in front of him. He did not know whether he should laugh or get angry at his son's fan girl. He took a deep breath and asked her,
"If you have not met my son, then how are you planning to give me my grandkids? Are you even sure that you understand the meaning behind the words you just said?"
As if grasping for the last straw of hope, Mila nodded her head profoundly front and back. And then she said with credence,
"If you don't kill me now and let me live then I will sleep with your son and produce an heir for you."
"And why should I believe a stranger's words on this matter? If I want I can choose any woman I want to carry my son's offspring. So, why should I choose you? Give me one reason why you are the best candidate when there are millions of other women around the world who are dying to be with my son," Harold asked her while amusingly looking at the girl in front of him.
Mila did not know how to respond to his questions for a whole minute. Her eyes traveled from Harold's face and to the photo of Wade on the wall. Then she moved a little closer to Harold and said in a small voice,
"I know your son is a gay."
"What!" Butler Max screamed in shock and jumped up.
He had just come out of the initial trauma caused by her 'no sense' words. But now only to get bombshell by Mila's shocking reveal once again. He almost had his brain frozen after hearing the latest news about his only young master.
He knew very well about the young master's preferences but the girl before him was saying otherwise. He bent down to look at Harold's expressionless face and saw his eyes were twinkling in delight. He instantly understood what was going on in his master's head. One more time that day, he pitied that poor girl before them.
Before Butler Thomas could correct Mila's mistake, Harold stopped him with a head shake. Then he glanced at Mila with a cunning smile and asked her,
"I could not hear what you said earlier. Would you like to repeat it one more time, a little louder this time?"
Mila lifted her head a little and once again said in a hushed voice, "I know your son, Wade, is gay. You know people who prefer to have attraction towards the same sex… I mean the same gender… Homosexual… Yeah… So…"
"I still cannot hear you, Miss. Can you be a little louder? Look, I am an old fellow and my hearing is not good these days. So, I don't think anyone would mind if you speak a lot louder like you did earlier." Harold said with a wide grin as he wished to tease her as much as possible.
"I don't think you look old at all. You are handsome and very young for your age. I am sure anyone would think that you are the elder brother of your son rather than a father," She blushed from head to toe as she said those words and deep red spread all over her face.
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss. But you still did not tell me what you thought of my son, yet," Harold said as he decided to divert the topic from him to his dear son.
"Your son is also very handsome but compared to you, I must say he is a little lacking," Mila said as she rubbed her chin while trying to curry favor with the old man.
Harold by then lost his patience and asked her impatiently, "I want to know what you heard about my son!"
"He is gay! The person who likes men. I read in the magazine…" Finally Mila blurted out loud and made everyone faint once again.
Harold coughed a little and pretended to adjust his throat before responding to her in a calm voice.
"I know what gay means! Miss…?" Harold said in a questioning way as he intended to know the name of the girl who is changing his son's sexual preferences.
"Mila… My name is Mila, Sir," Mila caught his question and informed him obediently.
"Look, Miss. Mila. I am not against my son being a gay. So, you have nothing to worry about it. If that is going to be his preference in love, then I would rather support him and will do nothing to change that. Also, I am not someone who decides or monitor, with whom my son prefers to spend the night. I leave it to him and he makes the final decision," Harold told her and made her dumbstruck.
Butler Max could only watch helplessly at the sides as Mila spoke and then at his master, Harold when he spoke. He could not believe that he would see such a day when his master would so easily accept a false fabrication of his young master made by a strange girl.
