Jessica ignored the pain in her foot and rushed to school . Arthurs teacher had just called to inform her that he had been in a fight . Seeing how anxious she was and knowing she could barely walk , Charles decided to take her to the school himself . Though her injury wasnt too severe , she couldnt walk on her own . When they arrived , she hesitated , unsure how to get out of the car . Without a word , Charles walked to her side and extended his hand . Come on , Ill help you in . She glanced at his clean , well shaped hand in front of her . Too worried about her son to hesitate Jany longer , she placed her hand in his . Charles supported her as they made their way to the teachers office . As soon as they stepped inside , Jessica saw Arthur standing beside another boy . His clothes were dirty and torn . There was a bruise on the corner of his mouth and some blood on his arm . It was clear that he had been in quite a scuffle . Jessicas heart sank . Ignoring the pain in her foot , she quickened her pace toward him . Arthur ? How could he have gotten into a fight so soon after starting school ? Arthurs eyes reddened the moment he saw Jessica . Though he clenched his lips tightly , refusing to make a sound , his tough front cracked . She then noticed the boy next to him . His face was bruised , a fresh scratch ran across his cheek , and his clothes were torn . He seemed to have taken the worse end of the fight . Youre Arthurs mother , Jessica ? The teacher at the desk spoke up . Jessica quickly nodded . What happened ? Why were they fighting ? Serena gave her a glance before looking at the man supporting her . Something about him . radiated an untouchable aura of authority . Then , she returned to Jessica and said , You should let him tell you himself . Jessica immediately turned to her son . Tell Mommy , why were you fighting ? He deserved it ! Arthur was slightly aggrieved but even more furious , standing firm as if he had done nothing wrong . Jessica frowned . Speak properly . He was being mean . He insulted me ! Her brows furrowed deener . She had never seen Arthur art this way before . What did he say ? 1/3 Arthurs eyes turned even redder , tears welling up but stubbornly refusing to fall . He clenched his little fists and said through gritted teeth , He called me a fatherless brat ! You are a fatherless brat ! Everyone has a dad except you ! The other boy , who had been silent until now , shouted angrily . Say that again ! Arthurs tiny fists clenched , ready to strike once more . The other boy wasnt backing down either . Just as the two were about to start fighting again , Jessica quickly stepped in to separate them . She finally understood what had happened . Pulling her son behind her , she faced the other child . Kid , Im Arthurs mother . Whats your r name ? The boy huffed and lifted his chin . Liam , she repeated . You got one thing right , everyone has a father , including Arthur . that he shouldnt have hit you , especially since youre classmates . But please dont repeat such hurtful things . She hadnt expected her son to be mocked for not having a father . Her heart ached as much as he did . Liam , however , wasnt ready to back down . Oh yeah ? Then wheres his dad ? Bring him here ! Everyone knows he doesnt have a dad ! Arthurs face turned red with anger again , and he raised his little fists . Jessica quickly held him . She was at a loss . How could she suddenly conjure up a father for Arthur ? I am his father , a deep calm voice suddenly declared . Jessica froze , turning mechanically to look at Charles . What did he say ? Arthur also stared at him in disbelief . Charles met their shocked gazes and stood before the wide eyed Liam . I am Arthurs father . While he shouldnt have hit you , I think you owe him an apology . Charles was tall and imposing . Standing before Liam , he instantly intimidated the boy . Jessica was too stunned to react . But Arthur , ever quick witted , immediately grabbed Charless hand . With newfound confidence , he declared , My dad is right here ! If you dare say I dont have a dad again , hell deal with you ! Liam , startled by Charless overwhelming presence , fell silent . He didnt believe Charles was Arthurs father , but seeing how similar they looked , he no longer dares to argue . Serena then approached them . Ah , so youre Arthurs father ? No wonder I thought you two looked alike when you walked in . You really are like two peas in a pod . When she said that , Charles and Arthur instinctively turned to look at each other . Were they really that similar ?
