Mr. Wellington was questioned by Lily so fiercely, yet there was no anger in his eyes.
Instead, he chuckled and said, "Ethan, your wife is very outgoing and lively. No wonder you’ve been feeling much better since being with her, and you look like you’ve gained more vitality than before."
"..." Lily was slightly startled, feeling as if her punch had just hit soft cotton.
Moreover, with her taking such a tough stance and Mr. Wellington chuckling away, even expressing his concern for Aidan Lucas’s condition, she felt embarrassed.
Her cheeks flushed, and she could only obediently sit back down.
Yet she was unwilling to concede verbally, "Master Wellington, Aidan Lucas and I are like this, and so can Skye and Dylan Wellington. Skye’s personality is even better than mine, brighter and more lively. If Master Wellington allows her to be with Dylan Wellington, I am sure she will bring even more joy to the Wellington family."
"No... Young lady, you are mistaken," Mr. Wellington remained completely unmoved.
"You and Ethan are a good match because you’re the young mistress of the Reddington family; even if you weren’t, you were once the young mistress of the Ford family. And if we go one step back, you are also the young mistress of the Gray family."
"The Gray family is known for their strictness, and your adoptive parents are both upstanding, honest, and progressive individuals. In contrast, look at the Brown family, where Stewart Brown is lacking in integrity; how can he raise proper children?"
"Our Wellington family is also a century-old family, and the future mistress surely cannot be handed over to a household of the likes of the Browns."
Mr. Wellington is fine in all other respects, but his character is really too conservative.
He values family lineage, class, and background more than anyone else.
"Well then, since Master Wellington looks down on Skye, her child surely won’t catch the Wellington family’s eyes either. Return the child to Skye, and we will not interfere with her and Ian Moore’s affairs," Lily compromised, having no other recourse.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Wellington said, "That child carries Wellington blood, naturally she won’t turn out diocre like the Brown’s children. Moreover, that woman has no power or influence; she can’t even take care of herself. How is she supposed to care for my great-granddaughter?"
"On the basis of !" Lily was truly enraged this ti.
On the matter of the child, she could not give in and, facing Mr. Wellington, she laid down her stance fiercely.
"I can guarantee the life of Skye and her daughter!"
"Although I don’t think Skye lacks the ability to support herself, if Master Wellington insists that Skye can’t give her child the best of everything, then let ... I can guarantee that whatever my sons and daughters have, Skye’s daughter will have too."
"You?" Mr. Wellington’s gaze flickered, "You an, giving her everything that the Reddington family children would have?"
"Yes." Lily t Mr. Wellington’s scrutinizing eyes without any trace of fear.
"Master Wellington, Skye’s child is still so young; she can’t be without a mother. Skye cannot be without her daughter... If Ian Moore has already forgotten Skye, then why not completely keep him away from them? Please give the child to ..."
Lily’s bright eyes were filled with sincere pleading.
Mr. Wellington seed to be slightly moved by her words.
But in the next instant, he said firmly, "No, I still do not agree. Everything that the Reddington family can give to the child, our Wellington family can give too. But Skye as a mother is a lifelong disgrace to the child; she does not deserve it."
"You’re being too unkind..."
Lily was irritated, but the old man suddenly changed the subject.
