"I shouldn't trap her with marriage anymore." Dixon would have mixed feelings when mentioning Sonia. Her name was like a thorn penetrating his heart, which would wound him if it was touched.
"Although she could forgive me, I will be unable to stay with her again." He looked down at Elinor's face. "Elinor, you should know that the least useful thing in the world is love. Because it just emerged, without reason. But there are too many obstacles to traverse in the social reality, and love can not help us."
He paused for a while. "So, I could not expect anything except for compensation. Although she gives a response, I can not shoulder it."
Dixon knew he could not get Sonia involved in his abyss anymore.
Elinor frowned as if she worried about Dixon. "Dad, it's so tough for you. The reason you don't break up with my mom was because you are the culprit who made her disabled, right?"
He admitted silently.
"That you choose to bear all the responsibilities alone is also to protect her, right?"
"You ain't right."
He smiled gently. "I am to protect... myself."
He did not want Sonia to see his humbleness and to forgive him. He was not aggrieved, and he just repaid for her agony, nothing complex.
Even if he could silently do everything for Sonia, he was still dignified.
Keeping Maria around him did not mean he could tolerate whatever she had done. When his sympathy and patience were completely run out, Maria would be a trifle.
