Meeting You Was Fate

"What is it? You don't know what's up? All you do is read the paper and your books all day. Do you even care about this family anymore? Do you care about our son?" Monica frowned. Some small wrinkles appeared on her still good-looking face.

Malcolm carefully sat up and set the newspaper down. He did not get upset. Instead, he answered calmly, "I don't need to worry about anything. You're the mistress of this house, and you keep it well. You take care of our family just fine. Isn't Ethon back as you wished?"

"What's that supposed to mean? Aren't you his parent as well? Why are you acting like you don't care about our son's emotions at all?" Upon hearing Malcolm's words, Monica suddenly stood up from her chair and angrily walked toward him.

"Why do you care so much about our son's love life? You're accusing me of being irresponsible. Well, I think you're overreacting. You're the one upsetting Ethon every day. If you hadn't forced him to break up with Nana, he wouldn't be so depressed." Malcolm's calm expression suddenly turned sullen.

Monica liked to manipulate Ethon's romantic life. Malcolm used to turn a blind eye to it. As a father, he felt very distressed to see Ethon in a bad mood. It reminded him of Ivy. When he found out that he could not be with Ivy, he fell into depression as well.

A relationship was just like a disaster. Some survived it, others did not.

Malcolm did not want Ethon to suffer the way he did for being in love with Ivy. He did not love Monica, but they could never get a divorce. Malcolm was a soldier. It was not appropriate, let alone honorable, for him to get divorced at will. A divorce was not good for the reputation of the Yu Family. At his age, he had already experienced everything. There was no longer a need for love.

Ever since Ivy passed away, Malcolm seldom smiled in his heart. He had been quiet inside.
