Chapter 644 How Have You Ended Up Like This

“We’re back…”

“Back?” Franklin cast them a stern look. “Do you know what time is it already? Do you have any idea

how much difficulty we went through to cover up for you? If you didn’t show up…”

Franklin did not finish his sentence as he noticed traces of burn marks on Clayton’s arm.

“What happened to you guys?” Franklin walked over and supported Clayton. “Didn’t you go to meet your

birth father? How did you end up like this?”

Clayton bit his lip. Before he could explain, the driver got down from his seat.

“Franklin, please lend me your jacket! Take it off now!” Clayton urged anxiously. “I don’t have time to

explain it now. I will tell you the story about we get back!”

“You…”

Even though Franklin could not wrap his head around it, he took off his jacket without delay and handed

it to Clayton.

Clayton endured the pain in his arm and immediately put on the jacket, covering his wounds.

Luis, the driver, walked toward them. He did not notice something was off Clayton. “Hello, everyone. I am

here to take you guys home. Please get in the car!”

“Thanks!”

The four kids did not say much as they got into the car obediently.

Usually, they would engage in a conversation in the car. However, on the way back to the Bowers

residence today, there was a dead silence inside the car.

Luis did not pay much attention to it, though. He thought the four kids were merely tired.

The drive lasted for half an hour until the car finally reached the Bowers residence.

Gavin displayed a smile after seeing them back. “Welcome home! Did you guys have a fun time? Come

on. It’s cold outside. Let’s take off your jackets!”

Clayton’s expression changed upon hearing that. His gaze darkened as he shook his head forcefully.

“Mr. Gavin, it’s alright. I feel cold suddenly and I am sleepy too. I will go up and wash my face now!”

Upon saying that, Clayton rushed upstairs.

Gavin looked at Clayton’s panicked look. “Mr. Nichols, I merely wanted to take off your jacket for you.

Why are you so nervous? I wonder what secret he is trying to hide from me.”

Gavin did not give much thought to his words. Yet, what he said was true.

Sophia, Xavian and Franklin paled in fright upon hearing that.

“Mr. Gavin, Clayton caught a cold today!” Xavian smiled awkwardly. “Just let him be. He is always so

stubborn. Let me talk to him on your behalf!”

Sophia and Franklin chimed in.

“That’s right! Clayton is always like this!”

“Absolutely!”

Upon hearing their response, Gavin did not think much of what happened earlier.

The three of them chatted with Gavin for a short while and impatiently went upstairs to check on Clayton.

They were concerned about Clayton’s injury, and they were eager to find out the truth about Marcus.

Clayton was using a wet towel to clean the dust in his wounds. His expression turned ugly as he suffered

from the pain.

“Clayton, let me help you!” Sophia walked over to him and took the wet towel from his hand.

A girl’s work was indeed more delicate and gentle.

Clayton uttered with a soft voice, “Sophia, thanks.”

“Clayton, there’s no need to thank me. We are a family. We should look out for each other!” Sophia

sounded highly earnest. “I know that Mom got some medicine for burns. I will try to get some for you

tomorrow. Your wound will recover fast after using it.”

“Okay.”

After Sophia cleaned up Clayton’s wound, the three of them simultaneously shifted their gaze toward

Clayton.
