Chapter 158

• THE WARNING
• "Don't you dare insult me by taking my mother's name if you don't want any trouble with me this soon after my return! You are a nobody to mention my mother, you hear me?" I am a Finnish howling. How dare she? What care is she talking about? I don’t remember even a single occasion when I saw a flicker of her so-called care for my father.
• She swallows hard, sweeping her hand at the back of her neck as she amasses the courage to speak again. "I don't even enjoy mentioning her anyway. Because it is my name that should be mentioned alongside your father's title and in this house."
