Stephen remained kneeling, and Jake and Hurley had the same expression—aloof and distant.
There was no intention to forgive Stephen, especially considering that he had locked his sister in the attic.
Matilda felt sorry for her son and spoke, "Jake, you and Stephen are siblings, part of the same family. You should support each other in the future. Stephen is not much older than you. He doesn't understand things well, and he just fell down the stairs. His body still hurts. It's not suitable for him to kneel like this for too long. Jake, please forgive him for now."
Jake turned her head away. "Daddy, I don't want to forgive him."
"Hurley, Stephen really knows he's wrong. He won't dare to do it again. He is my only child, the only one of your elder brother..."
"Enough!" Stephen forcefully interrupted Matilda's words, his gaze becoming even sharper.
"Just because he's the only child of my elder brother that I can't just watch him go down the wrong path!" Stephen continued, his tone resolute.
"Since Jake doesn't forgive him, then let him kneel. Consider it a lesson. After going back, he must apologize to Anabel and write one hundred copies of scripture!"
"I will arrange for Chris to send him abroad. As for you, go abroad with him and teach him a lesson!"
Hurley's face was grim, showing no signs of wavering.
"No... no..." Matilda panicked, quickly kneeling beside Hurley. She tried to grab Hurley's hand but was forcefully pushed away, not even touching his sleeve.
"Hurley, I beg you, please, for the sake of Richard, don't send me abroad. It was you who promised to take good care of me."
"I will definitely teach and guide Stephen well. He won't make mistakes again, and he won't bully Jake and Anabel anymore."
Matilda pleaded humbly, "Hurley, give Stephen another chance. He's just a child. I'm not around him, and he doesn't have a father. No one has ever guided him."
"He's not like Jake, who has such a good dad like you. Stephen is just a pitiful child."
Matilda's tearful words were accompanied by an observation of Hurley's expression. Hurley remained unmoved.
"I will arrange for a teacher to educate Stephen properly."
This meant there was no room for negotiation. Matilda bit her lip, wondering why Hurley was so heartless, why he was so harsh on her!
"Hurley, if you insist on sending me and Stephen abroad, then I have nothing more to say."
"It's okay if the Walton family can't accommodate us. Stephen, if we make mistakes, we have to admit it. When the time comes, Mommy will take you to find your dad, and the three of us can be reunited."
A tear fell from the corner of Matilda's eye, causing a sense of restlessness in Hurley's heart.
Before leaving, his elder brother did ask him to take good care of Matilda and Stephen. If it weren't for his elder brother, he might have been the one who died at that time. The debt of gratitude from his elder brother was something he could never fully repay, and it had always been a heavy burden on Stephen's heart.
Now, this burden was suffocating him.
Knowing that Matilda's words were a threat, Stephen couldn't be as forceful as before. The veins on his temples surged, sweat beads densely dotted his forehead, and his pupils were bloodshot.
"Daddy." Jake sensed that something was wrong with Stephen. He was a sensible child and understood his daddy's predicament.
Not wanting to cause trouble for his daddy, making it difficult for him, Jake hugged Hurley. "Daddy, I forgive Stephen. Let him stay."
