Alfa Dom y Su Sustituta Humana

Chapter 543

Herman got where Feiman was coming from. They were both men, after all.

"Pop," Herman started, "you and Mom have had a great ride together. It's time to face the music instead of just sweeping things under the rug. Ignoring problems only drives you further apart." Feiman was struck by the insight and felt a pang of guilt.

Ever since he and Elaine had hit a rough patch, he'd avoided confronting it head-on. When Elaine had packed up for England, he hadn't even thought to follow.

"Yeah, I know what to do," Feiman admitted. "As for you and Anastasia, son, it's your call. I just want you to be happy. If she's the one, I'm on board."

Feiman wasn't stuck in the past; as long as Anastasia was a good person and made his son happy, he wouldn't make a fuss.

Now that the dust had settled on Granny Anita's situation, he saw no reason to interfere.

"Thanks, Pop." Herman's gaze grew serious as he clasped his hands together. "And, Pop, if you can get Mom to warm up to Joe and have him officially recognized in the Salstrom family records, that's fine by me." "Really?" Feiman was pleasantly surprised. He never dared to bring up including Joe in the family records. Even recognizing Joe was just a formality.

Herman nodded. "The kid's got a good head for business, sharper than Flynn by a long shot. He's just hot-headed and stubborn, which can cloud his judgment."

Feiman chuckled awkwardly, "You mean the stunt Joe pulled by buying out the stock you were after? I've lectured him on that enough times. No clue why he insists on butting heads with you."
