"I mean, it’s a pity for you," I said calmly, my voice laced with regret.
He looked at me, his anger seemingly abating. He seemed confused by my words.
"You were supposed to be a capable member of the Huffman family, but you've strayed from that path.”
He suddenly looked at me as though he had found someone who finally understood him. With a hint of helplessness in his gaze, he complained, “He’s never valued me.”
"What's your name?" I deliberately stalled for time, wanting to play mind games with him. I was hoping to get some information about where my father was.
"Millard Huffman," he said angrily. "All I remember is my surname, Millard.”
"That’s a pity," I repeated.
He looked at me, growing more impatient. "Stop beating around the bush and get to the point."
"Anson gave you your name, right, Millard?” I wanted to confirm this with him.
"Yes, he did." He stood on a stool, studying me.
"He meant for you to remember your original surname, even if you had become part of the Huffman family at the time. That’s why he made Millard your first name. Is that correct?”
"Yes, that's what he was trying to do," he replied.
I boldly continued. My words were blunt, but they seemed to affect him.
