I paused, surprised by his gentle inquiry. “I’m fine, thank you.”

“I need to apologize for my father’s behavior yesterday,” he said quietly. “His harsh words weren’t directed at you personally.”

I smiled, touched by his consideration. “I understand it’s because of my identity. I didn’t take those words to

heart.”

Hugo’s expression remained troubled. “Are you truly not bothered by what he said?”

“I’ve heard all kinds of words before,” I replied honestly. “I can’t afford to take everything personally.”

Despite my reassurance, found myself curious about the deep animosity I’d witnessed. The business cooperation between my former mentor Professor Theodore Ashworth and Margaret Blackwood suggested their families maintained decent relations.

Yet Hugo’s father Theodore had shown such strong reaction to anyone with the Blackwood surname. “What’s the real reason for this deep–seated grudge between your families?” I asked directly.

Hugo looked surprised. “Marcus hasn’t told you?”

I shook my head, waiting for his explanation.

After a moment of silence, he spoke calmly. “My mother had a romantic relationship with Marcus’s father Alexander Blackwood.”

My eyes widened in shock.

“This relationship continued even after she mated with my father,” Hugo continued, his voice steady despite the painful revelation.

I stared at him, stunned by this revelation. The complexity of these family relationships was beyond anything

I’d imagined.

“My father harbored resentment because of this emotional entanglement,” Hugo explained further. “He believed for years that my mother still had feelings for Alexander Blackwood.”

The pieces suddenly fell into place. /‘That’s why he has such prejudice against anyone connected to the

Blackwood family.”

Hugo nodded grimly. “Exactly.”

I suddenly understood why my in–laws seemed respectful but distant with each other. There was no love

between them.
