Chapter 1528
Kenneth remarked, âIâm not sure whatâs going on, but I bet Steven has figured it out. Otherwise, he wouldnât let me be.â
When Hannah was mentioned, Jacqueline also felt guilt, âWe didnât cause this, but weâve made mistakes in the past. We allowed Steven to bring his ex-wife into the Dixon household, and not only did we fail to protect her, but we also let the others in the family bully her, calling her a second-rate actress.â
At this, Kenneth felt a pang of guilt, âThat must be the biggest mistake weâve ever made. We hoped for our son to lead a good life, but because of our actions, his life changed for the worse. We only have one son. He used to be so attached to us. When he was a teenager and received love letters, he would always show them. to us, trusting us fully. We rejected the girl he chose, leading him to move out with her and never bringing her home during holidays, causing the gap between us to
widen.â
Jacqueline agreed, âYouâre right, we thought everything we did was for his best, but we never considered if it was what he wanted. We forced it upon him. Kenny, since we have realized this, letâs support him no matter who he wants to marry.â
Kenneth added, âWe still need to look out for him, in case he gets tricked by someone.â
Jacqueline replied, âSure, Iâll keep an eye out for some suitable girls for him to choose from.â
Steven overheard their conversation, but didnât interrupt. He knew his parentsâ intentions. They just had the wrong approach.e2
No, he was the one truly at fault.
The others in the Dixon family dared to call Hannah a second-rate actress, saying that her lowly status was unfit for the Dixon family. It was all because of him. If he valued Hannah enough and gave her the respect she deserved, no one in the Dixon family would dare gossip about the wife of the Dixon Groupâs leader.
Steven gathered his thoughts, âMom, you donât need to find anyone else for me. My only wife will always be Hannah.â.
Jacqueline paused, then spoke seriously, âIf sheâs the only one in your heart and the only one you want to marry, I support you. But have you asked her if sheâs willing to remarry you?â
Steven was silent.
Jacqueline continued, âSon, if she never wants to reconcile with you, do you plan to stay single forever? Will you give up having children?â
Steven replied, âMom, if you and Kenneth are worried about the Dixon family bloodline, you two can have another child. Youâre still young enough.â
Jacqueline was angry enough to smack him, âYou cheeky boy, is that what I meant?â
Steven retorted, âArenât you worried about the Dixon family?â
Jacqueline replied, âAlthough the Dixon family does have a huge inheritance, Iâve never seen you as a breeding machine. Iâve never felt you must have children. If you want to have kids, then have them. If not, then donât. What Iâm trying to say is, have you prepared yourself for the possibility of living alone and without descendants if Hannah doesnât accept you?â.
