Chapter 1361: He’s our son
[LAST NIGHT IN THE DAVIS RESIDENCE]
Silence reigned in the dining room; not a single word was spoken among the family of three.
"Break off your engagement."
The thick silence shattered with Mrs. Davis’s remark. "Finn, we are not allowing you to marry into that family, even if Zoren Pierson himself is now part of it."
Mr. Davis nodded. "Finn, all these years, your mother and I have let you make decisions for yourself because we trust you. However, this is the time we must intervene. Nina, the Bennets, and the Cortezes are not good for you."
Finn didn’t respond—not because he was reconsidering, but because he was observing his parents. "You left me alone because you trust me?" he repeated quietly. "I didn’t know my parents trusted me so much that they left me to fend for myself at one."
"Finn!" Mrs. Davis’s voice erupted in a mild shout.
"This is exactly what your mother and I are talking about," Mr. Davis frowned. "Look at you, talking back to your parents."
"You weren’t like this before, Finn." Concern flickered in Mrs. Davis’s eyes as she sighed. In their minds, Finn’s change in behavior was entirely due to Nina and her family’s influence. Otherwise, their one and only son wouldn’t be treating them this way. "Just look at us. Can you really accept treating us like this? Since that dinner, your father and I have barely been able to sleep out of frustration."
"You are not young anymore, Finn," Mr. Davis added. "You should understand that we only want what’s best for you. And Nina isn’t what’s best."
