Chapter 179 - Chapter 179: Chapter 172 Father and Son (2/2)
It was only at this moment that Byrne realized Darren was entirely different now, even capable of becoming a father.
Merchant Ken was still all smiles and subservience.
“Please take a seat, both of you. I’ve prepared some very high-quality tea, and we can chat while we drink.”
Byrne, unlike the fussy nobility, nodded lightly and took his seat.
And when all four were seated, he finally began to speak in a calm, gentle tone:
“Your name is Fayer, right? I am here simply to better understand you and the matters concerning our two families. Miss Fayer, could you tell me about how you and Darren met?”
Fayer hesitated, completely unprepared for His Excellency Byrne’s gentle tone. He seemed completely different from Darren, and much of the heavy tension and awe in her heart lifted.
“Yes, I will tell you everything…”
“Uh…”
Darren’s complexion worsened, as if he realized something.
“We met during the town’s Harvest Festival celebration…”
Byrne listened silently to Fayer’s story. At first, it was bearable, but soon his expression began to darken.
Because in her description, Darren had mostly been with a certain grey-haired girl over the last year, only occasionally seeking her out, which was far more preposterous than the idea of “two young people opposing a family-arranged marriage for love.”
Oh Darren, you little rascal!
He quickly noticed that Fayer’s father, Ken, showed no displeasure; on the contrary, there was a hint of pride, perhaps he felt that the pregnancy had been a successful counter-attack, that the grey-haired girl amounted to nothing.
Even Fayer herself seemed to have reached some sort of “peaceful coexistence” with the grey-haired girl.
Darren’s expression was a bit unsightly, but he didn’t betray any signs of restlessness.
What’s going on, do I care alone?
He couldn’t understand.
A thought involuntarily rose from the depths of Byrne’s heart, perhaps he had to change Darren’s environment to achieve growth and change.
“That’s how it is, I, I got pregnant by accident…”
After Fayer finished speaking, she looked down, stealing glances at Darren and Byrne’s eyes.
Darren didn’t dare make a sound, while Byrne, after a long silence, finally sorted out everyone’s situations.
The case of the mischievous son need not be said, the most common thing in a noble family. As for the grey-haired girl and Ken, they probably fancied the Fischer family’s power and cozied up to Darren.
