In the past, Arnold was a playful and dissolute man. He lived a carefree and hedonistic life and only cared about living in the moment. But now, this wandering soul of his yearned to settle down permanently with Asher.

However, Mila insisted on digging up his past, reminding him of the pain and forcing him to wake up to reality.

“Aunt Mila, I…”

“Arnold, your father and elder brother overlooked how you’ve played around abroad. I’m an outsider since I married into the Thompson family, and I have no say in how to control you either.” Mila furrowed her brows and said in a low and

stern voice, “But Asher is the pillar of the Thompson family, the eldest son that Wyatt has high hopes for. You cannot have any ideas about him!”

Arnold felt a sharp ache in his heart. He took a step back.

“I’ve watched you grow up. In the past, when your father was too busy to look after you, I stepped in to accompany you in your studies and hobbies. I understand you far better than anyone else in the Larson family.”

I’ve had my suspicions about your feelings for Asher for a while now, but I wasn’t completely sure and kept observing you in secret. It wasn’t until I found this evidence. Only today, when I noticed your interactions, were my suspicions confirmed. The thing I feared most has finally happened.” She continued, “Arnold, Asher is different from those men you fool around with. You cannot get involved with him. If you ruin him, the Thompson family will be finished. Wyatt will be so furious that he’ll suffer another stroke!”
