Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 490

When Walter heard about Dylan getting close to Clara, his smile faded a bit, but

he still said, "Dylan's never been one to lie. If he says he doesn't like Clara, then he doesn't. He's never really been into anything or anyone, maybe he's just waiting for the right one."

Walter placed a photo on the table. It was from that party, showing Clara on Dylan's lap, the two of them caught in a kiss. Clearly, he came with evidence.

"Mr. Howard, Dylan's all grown up now. He might have his own ideas. If Lillian were still here, they might have had a kid running around by now. It's a shame. As an elder, I shouldn't hold anything against Clara, but she did cause trouble for a Dawson family girl. Even with my patience, I can't ignore it. I've watched Dylan grow; he shouldn't lose his way."

Walter said his piece and slowly stood up. "I'll drop by another day for a game of chess. The Dawson family has its own drama. And Jackson, that troublemaker, I don't know what's gotten into him. He's always going on about divorce. Even family rules don't faze him."

Mr. Howard went along, "Jackson's still young. You arranged his marriage because you liked the girl, but he hadn't even met her. It's normal for him to push back. Once they spend more
