Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 

On their way there, the car was engulfed in heavy silence. 

“Today, a lot of people were talking about the matter. Mom’s in a bad mood. If you have the time, do comfort her,” Dexter suddenly said as the car came to a stop. 

Nodding slightly, Angela agreed. 

Fiona, surprisingly, had arrived before them. She was seated on the couch with a laptop in front of her, clearly still busy with work. 

When Joseph arrived, he called everyone to the dining table for dinner. 

That day, Ursula and Cecilia were also there and sat opposite Joseph. 

Cecilia, with her playful demeanor and humorous remarks, made Joseph laugh several times heartily, but her efforts didn’t change the cold atmosphere around the table. 

“Fiona, oh, wait… I forgot you’re no longer a part of the family. Should I address you more formally instead? 

“Since you and my brother are divorced, isn’t it time you give up the control of the household? After all, technically speaking, you’re no longer part of the Bamford family,” Ursula said with a faint smile, her tone calm and crisp. 

Her words left everyone in silence. 

Angela didn’t know what to say since Ursula wasn’t wrong. 

“I know,” Fiona replied. “I came back today to address this.‘ 

After she slowly stood up, she turned to Joseph. “Dad, please allow me to call you Dad one last time. I still respect you deeply, but since Marcus and I are divorced, I can no longer stay here…”

Joseph’s stance was genuinely surprising. 

Even Angela became dumbfounded, unable to believe how progressive Joseph’s thinking was. 

Everyone else was equally shocked. 

“Dad, this isn’t right. No matter what, Marcus is still your biological son. As for her…” Ursula completely lost her composure. 

She couldn’t understand what was so special about Fiona that made Joseph care so much.

Marcus. I’d rather lose a rotten son than let Fiona leave this home,” Joseph remarked solemnly. 

Ursula gritted her teeth. “What about the control of the household…” 

Just as she was about to continue, Fiona spoke up. “Dad, Ursula should have control of the household from now on. Lately, I’ve been spread too thin to handle everything properly, and that’s not good for anyone.” 

Joseph didn’t object to it. 

The atmosphere at the table remained strange from start to finish.
