Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 454

"But it's dangerous."

Keith was well aware of the old saying "no guts, no glory," but the risk seemed too high this time around.

"Dangerous, sure, but I will be careful. It's an opportunity. If I pull this off, not only will we bust the entire Porter gang, but we'll also weed out the snakes in our own family tree. Consider it me clearing the path for you, son, and a real chance for you to break away."

Nathan had longed to shake off the other members of the Blue family, tired of being held back by family ties.

In the old days, sticking together as a family was beneficial, but in this day and age, unity had been lost. Clinging to each other now only led to endless trouble, especially since some relatives had grown too ambitious over the years.

So ambitious, in fact, they'd thought about harming his own children just to carve up his wealth.

"Lucy's coming home in a few days," Keith suddenly changed the subject.

At the mention of his daughter, Nathan's face lit up with a smile. "Whenever she decides to return, our door is wide open for her. Speaking of which, is your mother coming back with her?"

Keith looked at his father and said, "If Mom comes back, it'll be to officially serve you with divorce papers. You sure you want her to come back?"

Nathan's smile stiffened before he replied, "What's inevitable will come, and what must be faced will be faced. Even if your mother doesn't come back, she still wants a divorce. It's not solely her decision. I'm not willing to let go, and without my consent, she's stuck."

Even in Skywatch, Janice Bright wouldn't win a divorce case against him.

"Son, I know I treated you and your mother harshly in the past to protect you both, but her mind is set. I might as well let go. A clean break might even improve her attitude towards me."

"How so? You and Lucy are still my children - that's a fact that'll never change. With you both in the picture, your mother and I could still see each other even if we parted ways."

"Right now, she looks at me like I'm her enemy, barely willing to speak to me. Why suffer like this?"
