Upon learning that Alia Linton was coming over, Callix Linton’s first reaction was that she was here to cause trouble again. Worried that she might say sothing unpleasant to Lily Turner or do sothing inappropriate, he decided to let Easton Hols take Lily upstairs. He couldn’t afford to take this risk.
Alia Linton could guess these concerns, but she couldn’t be sure whether Callix Linton’s words were true or false. She chose to believe that what her old father said was true. "Oh, then I’ll co to see the two of them so other day. I’ve brought so nutritional supplents for you and Lily. Rember to take them."
As she spoke, she raised her hand to point at the things she had brought with her.
"We have everything we need at ho. You don’t need to waste money on those things," Callix Linton said, following Alia Linton’s pointing finger to the items she had just placed on the ground. Indeed, he saw nutritional supplents ant for pregnant won.
Alia Linton didn’t quite agree, but she didn’t argue as she usually would. She just softly replied, "What’s at ho is at ho; I still need to buy them."
Her hands unconsciously rubbed together, reflecting a sense of cautious nervousness.
"How are things with Fabian now?" Callix Linton noticed Alia Linton’s fidgeting hands and the nervousness in her heart. He changed the topic, no longer discussing the supplents.
When her old father brought up the situation with Fabian Hols, Alia Linton’s eyes darkened suddenly. "Just the sa."
Her heart felt heavy because of Fabian Hols, but on the surface, she had to maintain a calm deanor.
"What do you an by just the sa? If you really can’t make it work with him, then get a divorce. Staying together unwillingly isn’t good for anyone," Callix Linton had always known that Alia Linton and Fabian Hols didn’t have a good marital relationship. He had long thought about them getting a divorce, but as an elder, he found it inappropriate to interfere in his children’s marriages.
But now, seeing their relationship becoming more and more discordant and heading towards a worse state, he felt that if he didn’t speak up, they might reach an irreparable stage.
Alia Linton had long known that her old father didn’t think much of Fabian Hols and had many opinions about their marriage. She wasn’t surprised at all when her father ntioned divorce.
"I understand. I’ll consider it," Alia Linton had resolved to break all ties with Fabian Hols and Theodore Hols once she learned about Theodore’s online slander against Easton Hols. After her discharge, she imdiately asked Fabian for a divorce.
However, to her surprise, Fabian Hols, who had always wanted the divorce, refused to agree now. No matter how much she argued or begged, he wouldn’t consent to divorce her.
Callix Linton wasn’t aware of this situation. Seeing Alia Linton like this, he thought she was hesitating, still wanting to cling to Fabian Hols. "What is there to consider? That man is no good for you. Divorce him quickly. You can co back here to live after the divorce or stay with Easton."
He had already thought about her future arrangents. After all, she was his daughter, and he couldn’t bring himself to abandon her.
"Dad..."
Alia Linton was so deeply moved by her father’s words that tears flowed like a flood from her eyes. She could only utter a single word, "Dad," before choking up and being unable to say anything more.
