Let Me Stay The Night

Yerek’s eyes gleamed slyly. He deliberately tried to dissuade Azure, “Grandma, don’t act so rashly. It won’t solve anything. Let’s calm down and talk this through civilly. Nothing is black and white. I believe Old Mr. Stone must have his reasons for his decision.”

Barnaby could not help gaining a little more respect for Yerek upon hearing the latter’s words.

In truth, Yerek’s behavior endeared him to Barnaby, but unfortunately, he was neither strong nor willful enough to lead the family.

Sheridan was a more suitable heir to the Stone family.

If the events that followed had not occurred, Barnaby might have considered legitimizing Yerek later on. However, when Azure heard Yerek’s words, she only became even more enraged.

“Yerek, stop caring about others! Think about the precarious position that you and your father are in. Haven’t we been oppressed enough as it is?” Azure said angrily. “Now, your own grandpa wants to do the same and pour salt on our wounds! I can’t stay calm!”

Barnaby was not without conscience. After all, Azure was his first love whom he had loved for many years, and she had even bore him a child.

“I cannot legitimize them for the time being. Nevertheless, if there’s anything else you need, I’ll do it as long as it is within my control, Barnaby said, capitulating partially to Azure’s demands.

He had only agreed to compromise so that Azure would calm down and stop embarrassing him by appearing suddenly at the Stone family residence.

Azure cracked a satisfied smile. “Well, if so, don’t you think you should make it up to Nigel and Yerek since they won’t have the right to the Stone family’s inheritance which Sheridan will be entitled to? Shouldn’t they be treated like the other Stone family members and receive some assets at least?”

What Azure was asking for was essentially the same as demanding Barnaby acknowledge Nigel and Yerek as his blood. The only difference was their official legitimacy.
