Chapter 157: Sick and furious [2]
Athan, astonished by what Azrael mentioned, retorted, "So, now you’re going to force my brother to marry you? I knew you were up to no—
"Forcing?" Azrael sarcastically chuckled. He eyed Athan smugly and added, "No one’s forcing anyone here, Horace. Knox and I agreed to marry. He accepted my proposal. Now, all I need is for him to walk down the aisle to completely be mine. The only things that hinder us are you and your father, and that goddamn filial piety!"
Azrael’s volume was increasing again, so Kayden stepped in and calmed him, "Hey, easy, Azi. We still aren’t sure of what happened."
Kayden’s lips pursed tightly together after saying that. He took back his own words after realizing that Athan never said about his people not showing sympathy toward Knox.
Maybe they tried to convince the omega to come inside the car or go home, and it was only Knox who insisted on staying outside. He immediately blamed them without knowing the whole truth.
However, Azrael was unshakeable. He continued obnoxiously, "No. I’ll tell you what happened."
He glared at Athan contemptuously, "Knox went there to ask your father for forgiveness. Last night, he couldn’t even sleep well because the guilt was letting him. He was afraid that if your father learned about it, he would abandon him again. Yet this morning, he smiled, hoping that your father would understand!
"Believe me, I’m happy that he found his family. A family he’d been wanting for so long, that even if I offer him one, even if I offer to give him a family of his own, he still wants you and your goddamn family! He’s afraid of upsetting your father, of being a disappointment that he’s jeopardizing his own happiness!
"Yet that same man he went and met turned him away and didn’t even consider Knox for once! Your father did nothing but abandon him and when the ghost of his mistake grew enough to cause him trouble, he hunted him and then manipulated him! Don’t f*cking tell me he cares! All he cares about is your family’s name! He was molding Knox into a puppet that he could be proud of. That’s bullshit."
