Chapter 391
James’s words left the Swansons staring at him in shock.
It was no wonder they were surprised.
Vivian had caused so much trouble in the past, but James had always turned a blind eye and never said a word.
No one expected James to actually bring up divorce this time.

“You should’ve divorced her a long time ago!” Sarah snapped. “If Nina hadn’t wanted to investigate things, I would’ve made you end it the last time she and the Lowell family tried to blackmail you for the formula.
“Now that we know Martin and Matthew aren’t even your kids, just cut it off quick and stop wasting time.”
James nodded. “Back then, I stayed because of the video she had on me, and also for the kids. Now that Matthew and Martin aren’t mine, I don’t have to worry about them anymore. But Nina and Ethan-
He never once doubted that Nina and Ethan were his.
Even without a DNA test, one could tell at a glance which kids were really his.
James wouldn’t say he was a saint, but he always lived with integrity. Nina and Ethan were just as straightforward as James
was.
Besides, the whole family had taken DNA tests, and it was proven long ago that Nina and Ethan were his kids.
Thinking about it, James just felt a bit resigned.
Back then, since all the kids were born to Vivian, he couldn’t bring himself to like any of them.
But ever since Nina came back, James started to feel differently about the kids.
James still despised Vivian, but when it came to the kids, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of closeness.
“Don’t factor me in,” Ethan said, his tone flat. “It’s your personal business. If you want a divorce, just do it. If you want to keep things as they are, that’s up to you. I don’t have an opinion either way
Ethan never felt any real connection to James. Even though Ethan grew up in a house with a father to him, James was just a familiar face, barely different from a stranger.

“Maybe everyone thinks it’s understandable that you didn’t care about us, and maybe hink it’s okay to try and make things right now, but I don’t accept it.”
“Nina-“James called out.
He wanted to explain, but before he could get a word out, Elaine cut him off. “Mr. Swanson, there are things Nina didn’t say but I have to say them for her.”
James pressed his lips together, staying silent.
Elaine went on, “Sure, Mrs. Swanson set you up back then, and that was her fault. But what did Nina and Ethan ever do wrong? If they had a choice, they never would’ve been born to Mrs. Swanson.
“They couldn’t pick their parents, so why should they have to grow up hated by their mother and ignored by their father? Because you didn’t do anything, Nina and Ethan were abused by Mrs. Swanson from the start.
“Just for some twisted idea about intelligence, she locked them in a dark basement, used electric shocks on them, beat them with a whip, and even made them cat dead rats. That hell lasted or years, until Nina was finally sent away.”
