Upon hearing the summons from the elderly father, Fabian Hols and Alia Linton, who had just sat down, quickly stood up and followed the elder out of the living room.
After leaving the living room, the three of them walked into Mr. Linton’s room one after another.
"What is your purpose in coming today? Is it purely to attend the wedding? Or are you using the wedding as an excuse to do sothing else?" Mr. Linton asked directly as soon as he closed the door.
He went straight to the point without beating around the bush, and he didn’t show any courtesy to the two of them. His words were very blunt, and his tone was extrely harsh.
Before coming in, Fabian Hols and Alia Linton thought Mr. Linton wanted to discuss sothing. Now, hearing his words, they realized he was questioning their purpose for coming.
The father’s mistrust made Alia Linton feel extrely upset. She had just survived a close call the night before, and today she rushed over as soon as she woke up. Her good intentions were t with suspicion, the suspicion of her own father.
"Dad! Saying this is really hurtful. Easton is our son. Of course, we’re here to attend his wedding." Not only was her wrist wound aching, but her heart also began to hurt, even more than the wound on her wrist.
"That hurts your feelings? Your heart is much more fragile than Easton’s. He’s been through so much turmoil because of you and isn’t brokenhearted," Callix Linton looked at Fabian Hols and then at Alia Linton. His face was expressionless, radiating an aura of sorrow and anger.
Fabian Hols had been reflecting a lot these days and began to truly recognize his mistakes, as well as the guilt he felt toward Easton over the years.
He had neglected his eldest son far too much. Now, he wanted to make it up to him, but he didn’t know how.
"Dad! We were wrong. We shouldn’t have ignored Easton all these years while focusing only on ourselves. I..."
"You were the one who only cared about yourself and ignored Easton. I didn’t. I ca to see Easton every now and then."
Fabian Hols admitted his mistakes to Mr. Linton, but before he could finish, Alia Linton, unable to bear it any longer, interrupted him angrily, whether it would upset him or not.
Alia Linton’s words were imdiately t with Mr. Linton’s sarcasm, "Checking in on Easton every now and then, you really are a remarkable mother."
He glanced sideways at his daughter standing beside him, showing an expression of disappointnt and frustration.
"Dad! Why are you always on my case? Am I really your daughter?" Faced with her father’s sarcasm, Alia Linton was so angry that she spoke without restraint.
Her words nearly made Mr. Linton faint with rage. He glared at her for a long ti before his emotions slowly cald.
"I wish you weren’t my biological daughter, but that’s just my wish." Mr. Linton spoke without any politeness, his face showing displeasure and his eyes full of anger.
These words shocked not only Alia Linton but also Fabian Hols, who had always known that his father-in-law was stern and never showed personal favor in words or actions.
He could barely understand Mr. Linton’s lack of leniency towards him, but he couldn’t comprehend why Mr. Linton would treat his own daughter the sa way.
Alia Linton was infuriated, heartbroken, and upset to the point of exasperation, "Dad! How can you treat like this?"
