Chapter 180: Chapter 172 Father and Son_2

Only Fayer in front of him, she was a pitiful girl with love on her mind.

He finally said tenderly,

“Miss Fayer, I hope you can give birth to the child, after all, every child is an extremely important family member to the Fischer family, only there’s one thing the Fischer family must impose on you.”

“Darren is already engaged to the Oder family, and if the engagement is broken, the two families might become enemies, a matter of great significance, so the affair between you two absolutely must not be made public, and I will compensate you in other ways.”

“Very well, we agree!”

Fayer nodded gently, her father’s beaming smile indicated he knew this was most likely the outcome.

Byrne and Fayer signed an agreement, and afterward he assigned Theo’s eldest daughter to the Fayer household to take care of Fayer and keep watch over the place.

Before leaving, he suddenly came to an understanding, staring at Fayer as he nodded gently.

“I wish you happiness.”

On the way home in the carriage, Darren had thought he’d have to explain the matter of the grey-haired girl, but his father didn’t ask him at all, only maintaining silence and contemplation.

The atmosphere became more oppressive, and Darren finally couldn’t help but ask,

“Are you very disappointed in me?”

Byrne was silent for a while, then said calmly,

“I know this is how you are, from the moment you stepped onto the Path of Shadow, I had actually understood, as for disappointment…”

He paused, then said with a smile,

“I might also have some defect, for I always find it hard to get angry with my loved ones over their mistakes, and I prefer to find the fault in myself.”

“The slightest kindness from friends and I think of giving back more, and I’m willing to believe in the importance of emotions, I’ve even suffered quite a few losses along the way.”

Darren was slightly stunned, his father had never spoken to him in this tone, as if he too was a real adult.

Perhaps he really was an adult now, after all, he already had a child.

He suddenly felt a bit absurd, how had he inexplicably ended up with a child?

Byrne continued calmly, looking into his son’s eyes.

“I just feel helpless, I have made some efforts all along but still neglected your growth, but you still have a chance, Darren…”

“The person I once was, was also a coward, even afraid to speak to others.”

However, Darren interrupted him, his tone filled with incredulity, asking the doubts that had been hidden in the depths of his heart for a long time.

“Is that really true? The more I grow up, the harder it is to believe, Father, in the eyes of the common people you are virtually a legend, a great figure who rose rapidly like the protagonist of a story.”

“Was your childhood really so terrible? I even think that it’s something concocted by some people to slander you.”

Byrne nodded gently, affirming very surely, “It’s true, Darren, but anyone can grow and change.”

Byrne had to say this to inspire his son, though in reality, most people don’t change much.

And indeed, there were also people like Chris who were impressive from birth, they simply didn’t need much personal growth in terms of character.

He had made a decision to send Darren to train in the Cyart Royal Army for a few years, as currently, in the Royal Army there were only connections like Savoie and Colonel Abel, it was indeed lacking a direct blood relative of the Fischer family.
