Chapter 1043 How Dare She

• “If only you knew back then what you know now.” Darius stared at him for a moment before slowly saying, “Even if you and Elaine only got together after Quintina's passing, Cay wouldn't have harbored such resentment toward you. If you hadn't considered passing off an illegitimate child as a legitimate one, Cay would not have thought about adopting himself to Heston. You were the one who messed up first, and that's why Cay rejects you and doesn't want to acknowledge you. You are my son, and Cay is my grandson. Both of you are my own flesh and blood. I won't favor one over the other. My decision is based on what each of you has done. Look at you and Cay now. Where's the slightest resemblance of a father-and-son relationship? Even if you were reluctantly tied together, you would be nothing more than a pair who detests each other. Given the circumstances, it might be better to have Cay adopted by Heston. As for you, go and live the life you've always wanted. Marry the woman you desire, and she, the woman you love, will rightfully give birth to your legitimate child. You no longer have to rack your brains trying to pass off an illegitimate child as one born of wedlock. Isn't that wonderful?”
• Jeremiah shook his head in agony.
• Wonderful?
