?
Who knew I''d actually start to care, ready to go all in now.
"Madge, I''ll spare you the pretty words and high-minded talk. It was on me for not keeping a closer eye on Nelly, and I own up to that."
"As for me and Dailey, we''re inseparable at this point. No need to waste your breath trying to convince me otherwise. As for the future, who knows? Tomorrow or some twist of fate mighte first, but I''m living in the now."
"I can''t really help Dailey with his business, but I won''t be a thorn in his side either, not like Nelly was, pushing him to the point of annoyance and putting him in a tough spot."
Christine paused there.
When she spoke again, her voice was dead serious.
"Madge, if the dayes when someone''s pointing a gun at my head, trying to force Dailey to do something, rest assured, I won''t make it hard for him."
"That''s all I''ve got to say on the matter."
"My head''s killing me. You can see yourself out."
Madge looked at Christine for a long half minute before standing up to leave.
She didn''t believe in love strong enough to die for.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
In her book, rtionships were all about mutual benefit. That''s what made them solid.
"Grandma."
As Madge opened the door to the hospital room, there stood Dailey, unsurprised.
If such trivial schemes could fool him, how could he ever shoulder the entire rkson legacy?
"Heard everything?"
Dailey closed the door behind him, supporting his grandmother as they walked towards his grandfather''s room, nodding. "You should stop making grandpae to the hospital in this freezing weather. If he really gets sick, you''ll be the one crying."
Madge seldom cried. After all,
growing up in a strict household and
battling it out in the business world, where seeing bloodshed wasmon, crying was a waste of time better spent solving problems.
"Dai, what makes you like her so much?"
Dailey couldn''t quite put it into words. There was no reason, really. He just liked her, and that was that.
"Grandma Tunderstand your
concerns. I''m not shirking the responsibilities of the rkson name. I''ll bear them well. Even
et
without a powerful wife by my side, I can walk my path steadily.
"I''ve made up my mind about her. If you''re going to force us apart, then don''t me me if I seriously consider leaving the rkson name behind." Madge pped him on the back in frustration.
She was really angry but felt powerless.
She never imagined that Dailey, always so aloof and cold, could love someone to this extent-enough to forsake his family and the weight of the rkson legacy.
If only policy had allowed, she would''ve had more children.
Jayne could''ve had another child, but Dailey''s birth had taken a toll on her.
Their marriage was a union of interests; divorce was out of the question. Normand''s status didn''t allow for illegitimate children.
All their hopes were pinned on Dailey, their only child, and this was the oue.
It was enough to drive her to rage.
"Don''t be angry."
Hearing his grandmother''s breathing grow heavy, Dailey knew she was furious. He tried to soothe her, but she brushed his hand away. "You''re trying to kill me with this stress."
Dailey: "I couldn''t possibly."
"Dailey!"
Madge used his full name, "You have
no chance of cutting ties with the rkson family. If you insist on opposing us, then, in the end, the only one who will pay the price is Christine."
