"You're much better than my father, I'll give you that.Sean then walked past Charles and was prepared to leave.Jim, who was quite far away, furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Sean.His heart began to race at that moment.
He had not told Charles and Rosalyn about Lucy having survived the incident, despite everyone thinking she was dead.
He was afraid that Sean would talk about Lucy and their familial status after telling Charles that Charles was better than his father.
Sean, unexpectedly, said nothing else after that, but Charles grabbed Sean and squinted.
"Your father isn't too bad, kiddo.Don't belittle yourself; you're too humble," spoke Charles, his voice gentle and sincere.
"Something was special about you and your father that Lucy gave up on me and Jim."
The hallway fell silent the moment these words were uttered.
Both Jim and Sean looked at Charles with shock.
"Dad..." Jim gazed at Charles.
"You..." Charles smiled.
"Your mother and I found out about it.We know that all of you went to the Quinn Mansion and summed up the way you lost control of your emotions and went racing on Ring Road.Do you truly think we won't go to the Quinn Mansion to ask what happened?"
Charles sighed deeply.
"I didn't know Samuel hadn't changed one bit after so many years; still the good old person, trying to do the best for everyone.He thought he was doing it in my best interest by hiding i t for so many years and was afraid that it'd affect my relationship with Rosalyn.On the contrary..."
He heaved another sigh.
