"You're always fussing over trivial stuff! If you're so worried, just tell them no more kids! Why create problems out of nothing? Can't you see how much Emmett digs Clara?"
Patrick was not getting involved in this chaotic mess. It wasn't because he was thick or didn't understand the difference between a birth mother and a stepmother.
He just reckoned that as long as everyone was happy in the current situation, it should be left as is. He believed his son wasn't clueless.
If Clara really was up to no good, his son would sniff it out.
And with all their time spent together, if there were any nasty intentions, Emmett would pick up on it!
As a father, Emmett couldn't possibly be irresponsible about their growing environment.
Patrick hadn't forcefully stopped Sophia before and had never thought it would stir up such a hornet's nest. Now, it was too late to stick his oar in now!
Sophia, covering her face, also felt a twinge of regret, "But... that news about Clara, didn't you see it? Can we, the Melendez family, accept a woman like that? What about our dignity?"
Patrick sighed, looking in the direction Emmett had left.
"That's young folks' business. We should keep our noses out of it. If Emmett can stomach it... Then they carry on! We don't need to meddle too much. If Emmett can't handle it, he'll cut Clara off himself!"
