Faux Vows, True Desires

Keith was itching to kick this woman out. He couldn't stand to see her all over his dad anymore, so he decided to leave.

"Take the gift back for now. Give it to her when she gets back."

After answering Madeleine's question, Nathan whirled around as if he had eyes in the back of his head and asked his son, "Keith, where are you off to?"

"None of your business!"

Keith retorted coldly. Nathan was ticked off and cursed at his son's retreating figure, "This ungrateful brat, trying to give me a heart attack, huh? If you weren't my son, do you think I'd give a damn?" Madeleine quickly tried to soothe him as she said, "Nathan, calm down. Keith is just like that. He's always ignored you. You'll just tire yourself out if you keep getting worked up over him. It's not worth it." Nathan grimaced and said, "Ungrateful brat, why do I have such an unfilial son? With his attitude, how is he going to shoulder responsibility in the future!"

Hearing his words, everyone present seemed to perk up.

Nathan always seemed to have a special disdain for Keith, thinking he couldn't bear any responsibility, yet he had to make Keith his heir because he was his only son.

If Nathan had two sons, Keith's position would be in jeopardy.

Nathan's wife was nearing fifty. Even if she were to regain her health, she could no longer bear him a son. Their relationship wasn't great either. Everyone who'd been to Pinehurst knew that after Janice Bright recovered, all she felt towards Nathan was resentment. Love was nowhere to be found.

Janice even proposed divorce to Nathan.

If Nathan wanted another son, his only hope was Madeleine.

Madeleine was thinking along the same lines.

She was hoping for Nathan and Keith's relationship to worsen.

Unfortunately, despite being by Nathan's side for years, she still hadn't borne any children.
