Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 252

Stefan and Keith locked eyes, but neither of them said anything right off the bat.

They weren't unwilling to stick up for Nathan; it's just that they felt Nathan was so cold-hearted that he'd hurt Janice really badly.

Janice's mental breakdown didn't happen overnight; it was more like death by a thousand cuts.

Nathan might have been too busy hunting for his daughter and running his business to give Janice the attention she needed, plus all the blame from everyone else at home. Over time, she became mentally unhinged.

One thing was clear: she had lost all hope in Nathan before her breakdown.

Stefan felt like all this was a private matter between Nathan and Janice, and it wasn't his place to step in.

Keith, on the other hand, felt that his dad failed to protect his mom, let her mental health deteriorate, and then got close with Madeleine Porter. Madeleine had been eyeing his mom's spot for a while, so Keith hoped his parents would divorce.

He wanted his mom to stay in Pinehurst with his sister, which he thought was a better setup than going back to Skywatch.

So he wasn't in the mood to make excuses for his dad.

Stefan was hoping Keith would speak first, and Keith was hoping Stefan would break the ice, so they just sat there eyeing each other, and in the end, neither of them said a word.

Seeing no response, Nathan took his eyes off the photo and looked up at his son and Stefan.

They were both smart cookies; they knew everything he had done.

Their favoritism towards Janice was clear as day; how could they possibly stick up for him?

"Uh, Nathan, I think you and Janice should sort out your stuff on your own. It's hard for others to step in when it comes to relationship matters." Stefan finally broke the silence. Keith, however, didn't utter a word.
