Downstairs, I paused before speaking, "Mr. Arton, there are a few things I feel necessary to discuss with you."

This time, Arton looked more deferential and nodded politely, "Please, go ahead."

"If you're taking custody of the child, you must lead by example and take good care of him," I stated firmly.

Arton nodded solemnly, "We will."

His words were concise, and his response was sincere. Satisfied, I continued, "Furthermore, I can inform you that Melanie has escaped prison, and this matter could escalate."

I looked at him sternly, "If she comes to you, I hope you won't make any foolish decisions. If you want your child to grow up healthy, you need to separate him from having her as his mother. You must provide him with a good and healthy environment to grow up in.

"I didn't inquire about your character before as we had no interactions. But now, because of Charlie, our paths may cross. If you act inappropriately, I won't stand idly by."

I saw him glance down at his own feet, but he didn't refute.

"Every child is born an angel. Don't let your actions turn him into a demon. After all, I know Melanie too well. I hope you understand what I'm saying.

"With this escape, if she's caught again, there might be no chance of getting out. If the little one doesn't have a good mother, I hope you won't let him down as a father." I spoke directly, cutting to the chase. I didn't see the need to beat around the bush with Arton.
