Theodore Holmes sat silently beside them for a long time, just watching Fabian Holmes and Amelia Linton quietly, his gaze flickering rapidly between his parents.
After a while, Theodore made an effort to focus his eyes on Amelia Linton who was sitting a bit further away, "Mom! Where exactly did you and Dad bring me back from? Who are my biological parents? And where are they now?"
He stared at her without blinking, concealing a resentment deep in his eyes, which he hid so well that she didn't notice at all.
To ensure Theodore could grow up happily and without any burdens, Fabian Holmes had discussed with Amelia Linton back when he brought Theodore home, and decided that if Theodore ever asked, they would say he was adopted from outside.
Fabian Holmes didn't want Theodore to be labeled as an illegitimate child or the child of a mistress, as that would subject Theodore to ridicule and make his life unhappy.
