Rupert was stunned, his brows furrowed. “Dad, why are you doing this? How do you expect me to have that kind of money?”

“I’ve given you the choice. The rest is up to you.” Jimmy was no longer soft–hearted–he was determined to protect his son.

He didn’t really want to pressure Rupert; he just felt a lump in his chest that made him feel suffocated and pained. He didn’t want to forgive Claudia so easily for what she’d done.

“Dad, you promised the house would be mine. Why bring this up now? Without this house, how can Claudia feel secure with me? She’s carrying my child–your grandchild. How can you be so heartless?

“Dad, Mom, what you’re doing is so selfish. You’re not even considering how it affects me!” Rupert’s emotions exploded.

Jimmy’s face turned cold. He stood up, “Selfish? What haven’t we done for you all these years? And now you say something so ridiculous? Before you met Claudia, you never talked back to us. Look at you now!

“Not only do you talk back, but now you want to push us out just to please that ungrateful wife of yours? How did I end up with a son like you? You’re really going to drive me crazy.

“If I had known this would happen, I would never have agreed to your marriage!” Jimmy raised his hand and hit his chest, filled with regret. His eyes filled with an unprecedented sadness, and he collapsed back onto the couch, defeated.

Peyton watched with sympathy, feeling the same pain. They had given all their love to Rupert, but in the end, it resulted in their son calling them selfish. Her heart felt as though it had been covered with frost–she was devastated.

“I used to think that no matter how Claudia treated us, as long as our son never thought of kicking us out, it would be fine. But now, it’s clear–you don’t want to accept us. Have you thought about how much this is hurting us?” she said.

“Dad, Mom, if it’s not working, then living separately might not be such a bad thing,” Rupert gathered the courage to speak, “I’m still your son, I’ll take care of you. I won’t abandon you. I’ll pay for the rent.”

“You’ve given all your money to your wife. What do you have left to pay for rent? Once we separate, you’ll probably just forget about us.” Jimmy was already disappointed in Rupert.

“No matter what I say, you don’t believe me, do you?” Rupert felt the communication barrier. “Don’t you think I’m hurt too?”
