Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Symeon got angry when Dulcie was mentioned. “Why are you bringing up Dulcie?” he snapped.

“You’re chasing someone else’s wife right now, and in the future, when your daughter gets married, do you want her to suffer if a homewrecker comes into her life? You should start accumulating some virtue for your daughter!” Casey retorted, not knowing why she was so passionate, even a bit angry.

She couldn’t understand why Symeon was so insistent on destroying someone else’s family, but then she thought about what she had witnessed outside the study the day before. It wasn’t just Symeon’s one-sided infatuation; it seemed to be mutual.

Why would they want to hurt others like this? Don’t they realize that having an affair is disgusting?

Symeon was angry but also chuckled. “What’s it got to do with you? And as for my daughter, even if she doesn’t marry, I can still afford to support her. If I had known you were this kind. of person, I wouldn’t have come to you in the first place.”

Symeon was furious but chuckled. “What’s it to you? Besides, I can still provide for my daughter, even if she doesn’t marry. What you should do now is disappear from our father- daughter world. If I had known you were this kind of person, I wouldn’t have come looking for you.”

He now felt like he had brought trouble upon himself.

Casey knew that trying to take Dulcie from him was a losing battle; he would never give custody to such an irresponsible woman.

“You!”

“What ‘you? Just say what you have to say.”

Casey struggled to contain her anger. She knew she couldn’t win a verbal battle with this. man, so she decided to speak calmly.

“If you end up with the woman you love and have children with her, would you give Dulcie back to me?”

Symeon found this question amusing. “If I marry my woman, why would Dulcie be any of your concern? I won’t let Dulcie lack a father’s love; she’ll only get more.”

“But Dulcie might mind. She might not want to call your woman ‘mom.’ What if she can’t adapt?”

“In that case, I won’t let them meet. I won’t embarrass my daughter, and I’ll let her choose her
