Sebastian understood how Matteo was feeling. He did not compel his son to speak, but knelt down in front of him.

I’m sorry,” Sebastian began. “I admit that I was violent and hot-tempered. But if I did not do what I did, your mother wouldn’t have obeyed me.”

Matteo shifted his beady little eyes to look his father in his face.

“You did all of that for Mommy to follow you?”

“That’s right,” Sebastian answered. “As you can see, your mother is stubborn. If I did not pressure her, she wouldn’t have come with us. Forgive Daddy, will you?”

He was not lying to his son. That was indeed his motive.

Matteo’s eyes were tinged red as he choked on the words.
