“Finley, as people born into noble families, we both live under limits. Why can’t you be more tolerant and broad-minded?”
“You came into wealth Sean could never reach, even in a lifetime. I gave you the title and honor of my husband. He only wants to stay as a simple lover. Will you force me to abandon him?”
As she spoke, she turned toward Dad.
“Dad, I don’t wish these things to ruin cooperation between our families. Bring Finley back and talk some reason into him.”
After saying this, she grabbed the car key and walked out.
Upon leaving, she took my stepmother and everyone else in the room, even gently pulling the door shut.
In the next moment, Dad’s angry shout burst like thunder.
“Rebellious child! Have you not shamed yourself enough? Want me to drag you home and discipline you? How did the Lawson family end up raising someone so rough and lacking manners like you?”
I let out a dry smile. “Probably bad genes. I’m not only rough, but I’m self-centered and cold.”
As a husband, he kept a mistress outside and even had illegitimate children, drove the real wife into depression, and she jumped from a building.
Compared to that, my simple intention to end a marriage was far less wicked.
