Chapter 244:

Lydia set her fork down and stood up. “How can you abandon your own son for a woman who isn’t even related to us by blood? Bryan is your grandson, while Brandon is your son. It seems you’re losing sight of whom you should really care about.”

“The one who’s lost sight is Brandon, utterly misguided. I may be old, but my judgment is sharp. I see everything very clearly. Lydia, if you act properly, you can stay as part of the Dawson family. Otherwise, you might as well pack your bags and leave,” Stella replied, her expression serious.

“Alright. I’ll go. I’ll stay out of your issues with your son,” Lydia turned and departed.

With Brandon and Lydia gone, the tension in the dining room lightened. Stella sighed deeply, her energy seemingly drained as she leaned back in her chair and glanced at Bryan. “Do you have a say in your marriage?” she asked.

Bryan replied, “Eileen and I were already considering marriage upon our return to Onaland. Thanks for caring about us, Grandma.”

“That’s reassuring,” Stella nodded, pleased. Then she inquired, “When are you planning to have children?”

“We need more time,” Bryan responded promptly. “There’s no need to rush us. I’ve got everything under control.”

His words angered Stella. She retorted, “What control do you think you have? Having a child will solve your problem. Why must you be so stubborn?”

Bryan’s voice grew resolute. “Having a child isn’t a fix to my problem.”

“But I don’t have much time left! I’m worried that when I die and meet your grandfather, I won’t know how to face him. I know you don’t prioritize our family, but if you let family matters fall under your father’s control, I’ll become the Dawson family’s sinner.”
