Alistair had thought that once he stepped out of Whitfield Manor, he could cleanly sever ties with Rebecca and the Whitfield family once and for all.
Yet reality took an unexpected turn-one that pushed him past his limits.
After careful consideration and a discussion with Caroline, he decided to take the initiative and approach Nathaniel directly.
He didn't want to deal with Rebecca because he believed she was irrational. Reasoning with her was futile, so going straight to her parents seemed like the better option.
He avoided Whitfield Manor, knowing Cordelia often spent her days shopping or playing cards with other wealthy socialites.

Alistair was convinced Rebecca needed professional help-her delusions were getting worse.
Refusing to take the blame, he stated plainly. "Rebecca was the one who filed for divorce."
Nathaniel scoffed, "Then it must still be your fault. If everything was fine, why would she want a divorce? And who was that woman you were with? Did you leave my daughter for her?"
