Amelia’s heartbreak and sadness, Callix took it all in, and he didn’t miss Fabian’s shocked expression either. The changes in their emotions were all captured by his eyes.
"I just want you to feel the pain in Easton’s heart. Over these years, you, and you, have inflicted so much harm on Easton, you should be well aware, so I won’t say more." Callix looked at both Amelia and Fabian, sighed, and continued, "You’re both nearly sixty years old now, stop doing things that only kindergarten children would do."
He looked at the two of them again, and seeing them both silent, he knew his words had reached their ears, but whether they had reached their hearts, he didn’t dare to guarantee.
Fabian felt embarrassed by Callix’s words, his face turned red and then white, feeling particularly ashamed.
"Dad! We will definitely be more mindful in the future and not do those childish things that make you upset." Fabian was the first to break the silence and speak to Callix, expressing his stance.
Whether he divorces Amelia in the future or not, he will always be Easton’s father, and he must fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
Callix just looked at Fabian, without responding to his words, his gaze shifted to Amelia, "And you? What’s your stance?"
A failure in education is the fault of the father!
He blamed himself for neglecting the upbringing of his daughter when he was young. At that time, he thought his daughter would be well-behaved and not mischievous like boys, so he left the task of educating her entirely to her mother.
But the result turned out like this: his daughter became not only domineering but also willful; she was like that when she was young and is still like that now that she’s almost sixty.
"I understand too, I won’t make you angry anymore in the future." Amelia spoke with resentment, her heart full of grievance, which could not be easily dispelled.
Callix wasn’t blind, nor deaf, so how could he not hear the resentment in Amelia’s words, or see the latent anger on her face?
"Whether you make me angry or not is irrelevant, as long as you feel you’re doing right by Easton and your own conscience, that’s what matters. You both take care of yourselves." Callix gave Fabian and Amelia each a glance, sighed helplessly, and turned to leave the room.
There were still so many guests outside celebrating, he couldn’t waste more time with these two disappointing people.
Seeing Callix come out of the room, Serena, who had been waiting at the door, quickly moved forward, her face full of concern, "Dad! Are you alright?"
Earlier, when Callix called Amelia and Fabian away from the living room, Michael was worried something unpleasant might happen among the three, but with many guests in the living room, he couldn’t leave.
So, he gave his wife Serena a look, asking her to go check on the situation for him.
Serena understood the hint and left the living room, following the three out, trailing behind them the whole way.
The three had something to discuss, so she couldn’t go in; she stood at the door listening for any commotion inside, ready to intervene and persuade if necessary.
"It’s fine, go tend to your own matters, don’t worry about the two of them. They’re not guests here to offer congratulations." Seeing how sensible and considerate his son and daughter-in-law were, Callix felt extremely comforted.
