Chapter 871
Olivia was a little shocked. She thought it would be a happy ending, yet it ended... pathetically.
Instead of answering her question, Milo put a sugar cube in Olivia's coffee and said, “I made up the rest of the story. The story of the father and son has not ended yet."
Olivia was in a puzzle. "Why did you tell me this story?"
"I just happened to feel a little emotional upon hearing it. Why does the son hate his father so much? I wouldn't know what to do if my son also hated me like that."
"I don't think the story would end like how you think, sir. Maybe the son will realize his father loves him, and their misunderstanding will be resolved."
Milo lifted his eyebrows. "Do you really think so?"
Olivia nodded. "I prefer my version of the story over your guess. No conflict can't be resolved between a father and son unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless..." Olivia gulped and said, "Unless the father killed the son’s mother, and the son happened to see it.
Otherwise, why would he hate his father so much that he kept his father imprisoned?"
Milo's gaze changed, and he snorted coldly. "That depends on what the son thinks."
"I think it also depends on how the father deals with it."
"Oh?"
Milo stared at Olivia sharply, but Olivia was looking at the sea and did not notice.
"Relationships are mutual, not one-sided, right? Even if the son is determined to make things work with his father, Rome wasn't built in a day, and the father will never be on good terms with his son again until he gives in."
Then, Olivia looked at Milo. "I still think there's something strange about the story you told me."
Although she said so, she had someone in mind: Zac.
'Is Mr. M trying to tell her about Zac and Jimmy?
'Leading me to make a conclusion?’
Milo looked at her for a few seconds before laughing. "Ms. James, you are a kind person indeed."
