Chapter 360 He Owed His Son Too Much

"Have you lost your mind, Ethon? How dare you bring this illegitimate son home?" Monica roared as she rested her hands on her hips and glared at Ethon. She was fuming with rage.

"Mom, he is my big brother, not an illegitimate child. Can you stop being rude?" Ethon retorted as he put down his chopsticks. Years have passed, and Ivy was dead, but the grudge Monica held in her heart seemed to remain unchanged. Ethon was helpless that his mother still couldn't let go of the prejudice against Colin.

"What the hell do you mean by calling him big brother? Ethon, don't get persuaded by your father. I'm telling you, this bastard, Colin, will fight with you for property and money in the future!" Monica said through gritted teeth.

"Mom, can you stop talking about property and money all the time? Why do you always portray me like an incapable man? You make me seem like I can't survive without my father and this family. I am sure that I can make money in the future by myself! Do you know the amount of pain Dad has endured all these years? Why don't you think about it from someone else's point of view for a change?" Ethon said sternly, and his eyes were boring into his mother's.

"Are you really my son? How did I give birth to a saint like you? You really have lost your wits!" Monica waved her hands dismissively. She was seething with anger

She could neither digest Ethon's words nor retaliate as she knew that he was stating the truth.

"Mom, family lays the foundation of everything! The only thing I wish for is the happiness of my family. I want both you and Dad to be happy, Mom. You know, compromise and accommodation can open up possibilities. It will certainly make our lives better."

Monica snapped her head around to look at Ethon. Her little boy had become a mature man now, speaking big words that were beyond her understanding. She couldn't understand what he was thinking and didn't know if it was good or bad.

"Okay, fine! I will put up with this nonsense as long as you can bear it!" Ethon had always been her pride and joy. Ethon used to score full marks in all his subjects when he was little, making Monica happy. Being the big now, he had managed to make his mother proud by his maturity. Monica always felt that Ethon was the blessing

onship with his father. Only then will he be able to safeguard himself and not be bullied by others. He felt that he would be able to protect the one he loved only if he was strong and secure. Therefore, he was ready to let go of the past and start a relationship with his father.

Colin wanted to make up for the four crucial stages of his life that he had missed. Nathan might have guarded his business against the eyes of others, but Colin had managed to make a thorough investigation. His business was clean and legit. However, Nathan was notoriously indiscreet about his private life. Colin thought it was his duty to protect Mandy from harm!

"Thank you, Colin. You have no idea how much this means to me. I have waited for many years to hear these words from you." Malcolm stood up excitedly and staggered towards his son. His face was soaked in his tears.

He stared at his son with teary eyes, taking in every inch of his face. Ivy and Malcolm were deeply in love with each other. She was the one capable of giving birth to his child. Malcolm had made up his mind to take responsibility for giving all that he owed Ivy back to Colin.

"Dad!" Colin said as his mind was swarming with thoughts.

"My good boy!" Malcolm answered. A smile crept on to his lips. His wish was finally fulfilled; Colin had finally accepted him as his dad.

He looked at his son with tender eyes as he saw his life shifting. Everything was falling into place. He was truly happy after many years of guilt, pain, and regret.
