Blinking her wide eyes, Nina quickly fired another shot, "Dad's not busy at all, he's always off with sladies, having a ball. Mira and | barely see him enough times in a month to count on one hand. I'm jealous of Kane and William. Uncle Arnold and Uncle Leopold are hevery night, and they're the best with them." She pouted her lips, her expression one of utter dejection, "Lady Jelena, if you ever marry my dad, you'll end up just like my mom, alone in the house all day, holding the fort in a big empty mansion, and becoming the resentful trophy wife he grew tired of." Fredric seemed to be insulted, nearly passing out from the shock.

Was this skind of roast session? He had already been turned down by Jelena, who worried he wouldn't make a good husband and felt insecure about their future.

And here was his little girl, twisting the knife even further. Was she trying to finish off her father? "Jelena, don't listen to Nina's nonsense. She's just been led astray by her mom. | promise I'll be a great husband and a great dad from now on." Jelena wasn't buying it, not for a second. She knew his track record.

She flipped her hair over her shoulder, giving a seductive smile, "It's okay, no need to explain. We're just friends right now, anyway." Fredric was frustrated beyond belief. Their relationship suddenly felt as distant as the moon.

They had already been intimate. Didn't that count for something? "I was just young and foolish before, loved to play around. But I've grown up, and now, all | want is to settle down and enjoy the joys of family life." Immediately, Nina challenged him, "Then why did you divorce Mom, making Mira and | children of a broken home?" Fredric shot her a look, "I never planned on marrying your mom. It was because of you two that | was forced into it. Also for you and Mira, | stayed. Now that you're grown, | need to think about my happiness." Aurelia, sitting nearby, nearly choked on her coconut water upon hearing this.

Fredric was a master of passing the buck.

He'd cast himself as the responsible father figure just like that.

Whether Jelena believed it, she had her doubts.

Covering her mouth to suppress a cough, Leopold reached over to pat her back, "Take it easy, don't choke." Arnold, seated on the other side of Aurelia, shot a cold glare their way. Every the saw Leopold and Aurelia being affectionate, he was filled with a sour feeling, seemingly drop-kicked into a pit of jealousy.

Arnold knew Aurelia was out of reach unless Leopold vanished and she would never return to him. But he couldn't help the emotions that refused to be tamed.

You might control your limbs, your actions, but never your heart.

Nina took a sip of her drink, "If you loved us, why are you never home, and why don't you care for us? Mira has almost forgotten she even has a dad." Hearing this, Mira waved her little hand, "Don't worry, Dad. I'm okay without a dad. | can stay with my grandma and play with Kane and William every day." Fredric felt as if her innocent words slapped him across the face. Since Mira's birth, he had only been habout once a week. The kids were strangers to him, bursting into tears at the sight of him.

Aurelia sighed internally, wondering whether Sheryl ever regretted marrying Fredric. Given another chance, would she still steal her best friend's man and marry someone who never gave her love or warmth? Jelena sipped her juice, speaking deliberately, "I've always believed that it's not love that's most important in marriage, but a man's sense of responsibility."
