"Zayne, as long as your mother agrees to the divorce and doesn't play any petty tricks, I can make it a decent one," Timothy said.
With just this sentence, Zayne caught the meaning in his father's words.
It seemed that other reasons led to this incident.
Otherwise, a steady man like his father wouldn't have mentioned divorce so suddenly. His father was very much a family man in his opinion.
"Although I don't know what the reason is, I believe you have a valid one." Zayne did not stop his father. He just looked at him and continued, "I respect your choices."
This made Timothy very surprised. He didn't expect that his eldest son would say such words and agree with the divorce. It was really unexpected.
"Thank you for understanding." Timothy said sincerely, "but I hope that you can persuade your mother to agree as well."
"Dad, I may agree with your choice to divorce, but it doesn't mean that I will be your lobbyist. I think it's unfair to Mom." Zayne told his father clearly.
Timothy was stunned.
The light in the study was bright, shading Zayne's chiseled face with a beautiful soft glow.
His eyelashes were very long, just like Grace.
They were related by blood after all. Even though they had different mothers, there were still some similar traits.
"Listening to your words, it seems that you still have some thoughts regarding the divorce," Timothy said.
"No, Dad, you think too much." Zayne said calmly, "In my heart, you are a gentle and honest father and a relatively qualified husband, but you are not a good lover. You don't love my mother."
Timothy froze all of a sudden.
He was a little uncertain what his son meant by this. He frowned slightly.
"Dad, you don't have to frown. I'm sure you know clearly whether you love Mom or not, even bystanders can tell. My mom is always the one who is giving in this relationship. She loves you deeply, faithfully, but your heart is not with her," Zayne pointed out.
This was really beyond Timothy's expectations. Zayne was already so observant even though he was not even 20 years old.
He asked himself, "Did I love her deeply?"
Frankly said, absolutely not. Quinn loved him more deeply.
"I'm sorry," Timothy didn't want to lie, nor did he want to be a man with a guilty conscience in front of his son. "I have to admit what you said. Your mother loves me much more than I love her. But if a person loves at the cost of hurting others, then this love has become deformed and it is too ugly. I have always thought the highest realm of love is giving blessings. I can't do it, but I hope you and Eamon can do it in the future."
"Then the reason for you to divorce my mom is that she had hurt someone?" Zayne looked at his father, raising his eyebrows, "If I'm not wrong, the fact that you would want a divorce at this age is because my mother had hurt our half- sister, right?"
He was really sharp.
This child will do just fine.
Timothy did not admit, nor did he deny either.
"Seeing you like this, what I said must be true then." Zayne twitched his lips, "Dad, is Grace all right?"
Timothy's eyes narrowed. He was a little touched.
After a while, he looked at Zayne with teary eyes and said, "Zayne, I'm glad that you asked about your sister's condition. No matter when, I hope that you can be a kind person, and have a bottom line of not hurting others."
"Dad, you haven't answered my question yet. Is Grace alright?" Zayne asked again.
"I don't know," Timothy closed his eyes and knitted his eyebrows tightly. He sighed and lit another cigarette.
