This was the first ti Alia Linton heard these words from Callix Linton. Over the years, she was well aware that she lacked affection and companionship for her biological son, Easton Hols.
It was precisely because she knew she owed her son so much that she now had to stop that woman from being with him, believing that the woman would harm her son.
"Dad! I know I haven’t handled things well over the years, but please don’t be mad at now. I have sothing very important to discuss with you." She couldn’t change the past, but she could control the present.
She had already missed too many things in her son’s life; she could not miss his marriage.
When Alia suddenly appeared at ho earlier, Callix had already thought of this. Hearing her words, he wasn’t at all surprised.
"If I’m not mistaken, what you want to discuss with is about Easton." The old Mr. Linton had already guessed the specifics, eyes fixed on Alia, waiting for her to confirm his suspicions.
Hearing this, Alia was montarily stunned, but soon regained her composure, "Dad! Are you aware that Easton has already registered for marriage with soone else?"
"I know! I agreed to it, so what? Is there a problem with that?" Just as he had guessed, Callix raised an understanding eyebrow.
Compared to Callix’s calmness, Alia seed very agitated. She thought she could find an ally here, but didn’t expect that her father had already been ’won over’ by her son.
"Dad! How could you agree to let Easton register for marriage with that woman? This is a lifelong matter, how can you agree without consulting us?" Her tone, due to urgency, was sowhat accusatory and full of deep reproach.
"You didn’t consult when you threw Easton at and left with that man." Callix said angrily, "You haven’t really taken care of him all these years, and now that he’s grown, you want to manage him."
"Sorry! You’re too late to care!"
Recalling how Alia had been indifferent to Easton over the years, the old Mr. Linton was very angry. If it were twenty years ago, he would’ve slapped her.
Alia fully understood Callix’s anger, but now wasn’t the ti to discuss these matters. She urgently needed to resolve the situation between Easton and Lily Turner.
"Dad! I didn’t an to bla you; I was just anxious." Alia paused before continuing, "Dad! You might not be aware, but the woman Easton married isn’t respectable, she..."
"I know better than you whether she’s respectable or not." Hearing Alia’s words, Callix finally understood why she was so anxious, letting out a discontented yet helpless sigh, "You shouldn’t doubt my judgnt; I’ve never misjudged anyone."
Alia agreed with her father’s ability to judge people. He had always been accurate over the years, sothing she deeply understood.
But this ti, her father seed to make an exception, perhaps due to his age.
"Dad! This ti you made a mistake, you really misjudged that woman." For the sake of her son, she risked being scolded by her father to correct him.
