“Dad, it’s such a shame you can’t come. The whole family will be together. They planned everything as a tribute to Peter, my husband’s grandfather,” Valentina said with a note of disappointment in her voice.

“I know, sweetheart! I’m sorry, but Vincent crashed his car, and poor Anthony is devastated. My little boy is all alone, and your brother is going to need help getting him from the hospital back home.

But tell your father–in–law I’m sorry, he knows how reckless Vincent can be.”

“That Vincent really needs to grow up! What if something serious had happened? Tell me, what would become of poor Anthony?” Valentina said, clearly worried.

“Well, I guess you and Marcus would adopt him,” her father replied casually, “You know how Anthony is obsessed with your husband. He looks up to him like a hero. Says he wants to be just like him when he grows up.”

“Dad! Anthony is not a puppy you can just offer up like that!” Valentina huffed.

“So you’d really leave Anthony all alone? The poor boy already got abandoned by his mother, who dumped him on Vincent! That irresponsible fool needs to grow up–he’s a father, for God’s sake!”

That’s not what I meant,” Valentina sighed. “But don’t talk about him like that. Anthony is a good kid, and with the right guidance, I know he’ll grow up to be a good man. My brother may be a bit… well, crazy, but I’m sure one day, he’ll get it together and be a good father. He just needs that one spark to push him to mature.”

Her father let out a deep sigh. “Ah, sweetheart, I hate worrying you with all this. But send my regards to the Bartz family. Tell them next time, I’ll host a proper dinner–one like we do back home, the real Valentian way.”

“Of course, Dad! Take care, and give Anthony and my idiot brother a big hug from me!”

“See you, my dear!”

“Take care, Dad!”
