Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 769

"What is it? You don't know what's up? All you do is read the paper and your books all day. Do you even care about this family anymore? Do you care about our son?" Monica frowned. Some small wrinkles appeared on her still good-looking face.

Malcolm carefully sat up and set the newspaper down. He did not get upset. Instead, he answered calmly, "I don't need to worry about anything. You're the mistress of this house, and you keep it well. You take care of our family just fine. Isn't Ethon back as you wished?"

"What's that supposed to mean? Aren't you his parent as well? Why are you acting like you don't care about our son's emotions at all?" Upon hearing Malcolm's words, Monica suddenly stood up from her chair and angrily walked toward him.

"Why do you care so much about our son's love life? You're accusing me of being irresponsible. Well, I think you're overreacting. You're the one upsetting Ethon every day. If you hadn't forced him to break up with Nana, he wouldn't be so depressed." Malcolm's calm expression suddenly turned sullen.

Monica liked to manipulate Ethon's romantic life. Malcolm used to turn a blind eye to it. As a father, he felt very distressed to see Ethon in a bad mood. It reminded him of Ivy. When he found out that he could not be with Ivy, he fell into depression as well.

A relationship was just like a disaster. Some survived it, others did not.

Malcolm did not want Ethon to suffer the way he did for being in love with Ivy. He did not love Monica, but they could never get a divorce. Malcolm was a soldier. It was not appropriate, let alone honorable, for him to get divorced at will. A divorce was not good for the reputation of the Yu Family. At his age, he had already experienced everything. There was no longer a need for love.

Ever since Ivy passed away, Malcolm seldom smiled in his heart. He had been quiet inside.

He was like a puppet in his relationship with Monica, but they were from families of equal social rank. They were just taking what they needed from each other.

Malcolm gave Monica a noble appellation as the hostess of the Yu Family while Monica gave birth to Ethon to carry on his family name.

Men were sometimes strange creatures. They might not love their wives, but they loved their children deeply. Malcolm might not have strong feelings for Monica, but his love for Ethon was immense. As it was said, 'Blood is thicker than water.'

"Oh, you're blaming me now?" In a heartbeat, Monica was already standing in front of Malcolm. She raised her chin and stared at him with unyielding eyes.

"Isn't it good to leave the matter to our son? Do you really think it's a good idea to meddle in his affairs and not allow him to decide for himself?" Malcolm sneered and spoke from a voice that belonged in his past. If only his father had stood up and spoken like he did now at that time.

Malcolm was forced to marry someone he did not love. He did not want the same for his son.
