Chapter 23 Spying on Gerald

"There is no such thing as a monster," Vincent grinned as he ruffled his hair. “You don't need to be scared.”

“No…” Jonathan retorted. “There is a monster, a big monster with gray eyes. He bullies mummy and tries to scare me. I don’t like him. He is a bad guy… a bad guy.”

His outcry stunned Vincent. He tried to comfort him, “Okay, calm down.”

Vincent drew him into his embrace, reflecting upon what he had said. Jonathan was terrified of the gray-eyed evil guy who intimidated Natalia. At the time, all he could think of was Gerald.

Gerald’s eyes were gray. There might be a connection between his presence in the office and Natalia’s apprehension. Gerald could be the aforementioned monster.

What did Gerald have to do with Natalia and Jonathan?

This question disturbed Vincent.

Patting his back, Vincent consoled him, “I won’t let that monster hurt you.”

“Really? Will you help mummy too?” Jonathan’s eyes were glittering with excitement and hope.

Vincent smiled and assured, “Yes.”
