The Runaway Groom

Chapter 161

Suddenly, Irene felt as if something was stuck in her chest, suffocating her.

“You’re not insisting on staying, are you?” Henry growled, seeing the look on her face. “Are you really making a bastard called Isaac daddy? Would he accept that? Do you think I would?” Irene suddenly realized that she had missed out something important–Isaac was the heir to his family’s inestimable wealth!

The greater the dynasty, the more selective they were about bloodlines.

Even if Isaac insisted that he did not mind and was willing to raise Tommy as his own, would Henry allow Tommy in the family, when the blood of the Jeffersons did not flow in his veins? It was maybe acceptable for the average family, but not for a dynasty, especially with a throne and money at stake.

Irene realized that she had been delusional. Having focused on herself and Isaac, she had ignored innumerable external elements, along with the environment where Tommy would be raised, or if she would hurt him spiritually.

She was so obsessed with herself that she had neglected him.

She was obliged to provide a stable, comfortable environment for Tommy, not a dynasty with convoluted relations.
