Let me go, Mr. Hill By Shallow South Chapter 1947
Ryan made use of the opportunity immediately. “ Dad, Mom, Freya is your goddaughter after all.
Won’t it be embarrassing for you guys if she ends up in a bad situation?”
Nathan’s brows were knit in a tight frown. He was seemingly wavering.
When Ryan saw that, he added, “Dad, you’re the person I admire the most in my life, and you’ve achieved the position that you wanted. But how many people have you and Grandpa plotted against all these years? Can’t we be kinder sometimes?
After all, you once said you took up this position because you wanted to make the lives of Australia’s citizens better. Isn’t Freya your citizen as well?
Please don’t let authority blind you.”
Nathan’s heart thumped. He looked toward his son, who was at his side. “I didn’t do that just for myself. I’m paving a path for you too.”
Ryan shook his head indifferently. “You and Grandpa have set your thoughts too far. The position of prime minister isn’t hereditary. It doesn’t mean that your son will take the position after you. If you have such thoughts, I’ll think that you’ve changed. You’ve become like the kings of the past, greedy and selfish.”
“Ryan… How can you say that about your father?” Heidi saw Nathan’s dark expression and told Ryan “Dad, what I said is the truth. Such are humans. When we’re at the bottom of the mountain, we think that the view at the top is better. But after we climb up with all our might, we think that the view on another taller mountain is better. Ambitions are like a bottomless pit.”
Ryan’s clear eyes gazed at his father. “Are you starting to feel unsatisfied again now that you’re in the position of prime minister?”
Nathan was shocked.
