He Wanted an Heir, So I Gave Him Ashes Chapter 16

He stood there, a sudden memory of yesterday flashing in his mind.

The fight between Ellie and Beau had happened right here.

He remembered the mess on the floor, and his face slowly darkened.

If it had just been a child messing around, why was it that only the hundred-year-old land deed map—Ellie’s prized possession—had been destroyed?

His guns and tack were untouched.

Rhett called the old butler back into the study.

“What exactly did Beau damage yesterday? Why does this room look like it’s been cleared out?”

The butler sighed.

“Young Master Beau destroyed all of Madam’s business documents and the land map. Madam took the rest of her things with her when she left.”

The butler paused, then delivered the final, fatal blow.

“She said this house wasn’t safe.”

Rhett heard nothing after that.

This house wasn’t safe.

This was his home. Their home.

And she had said it wasn’t safe.

What had this place become in her eyes? A battlefield where he had personally invited the enemy?

For the first time, Rhett seriously considered that Beau was more than just Walker blood.

He was a little hellion that Daisy had spoiled rotten.

He finally understood Ellie’s fury.

He had protected Beau and left her to stand alone.

Regret clawed at him.

But the crisis at the company left him no time to find her, let alone apologize.

He could only instruct the butler to tell Daisy to take Beau and apologize to Ellie.

Then he sat down at his computer and tried to contain the disaster.

When Daisy heard the order, her docile expression nearly cracked.

Just yesterday, she had won. She had driven that East Coast woman out of the master bedroom.

And now she was supposed to apologize?

Not a chance.
