When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1913 A Responsible Father

Robert pleaded earnestly, "Regarding that piece of land, it's not that I'm unwilling to give it to Nathaniel. It's because our father left it for me. I don't want to upset him beyond the grave."

He spoke rather righteous words.

"Wren, could you discuss with Nathaniel to see if we can use something else as collateral? If I have something of value, I would certainly offer it without hesitation or further discussion."

Wren had already heard too many of his promises.

"Robert, for this matter, you should seek Nathaniel's help. I can't assist you."

Though Wren cherished the bond with his brother, he equally cared for his own

Nathaniel nearly ended up in jail because of Robert. This time, he definitely couldn't afford to be soft-hearted toward Robert.

After Wren finished speaking, he instructed his driver to bring the car around.

After the driver arrived, he immediately wanted to get in the car without uttering another word.

Upon seeing the situation, Robert immediately grabbed his hand and fell to his knees.

"Wren, I'm begging you. Isn't this enough? I'm ready to kneel and apologize to your entire family!"

The moment Robert kneeled down, Wren's expression changed instantly.

"Robert, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"

Wren reached out to help Robert to his feet.

Robert, however, remained completely unmoved. He kneeled there, shivering in the chilly wind. "Unless you agree to my request, I will continue to kneel here." Upon seeing Robert in such a state, Wren no longer had the heart to be angry. “All right. I'll discuss it with Nathaniel. Whether he agrees or not, that's up to him. You should get up now."

Once Robert saw that his goal had been achieved, he slowly rose to his feet. He knew Wren was soft-hearted. He went on to explain, "Wren, whatever happened within Nathaniel's company, I truly had no part in it. I have no idea where Nathaniel got those rumors from. I'm his uncle. How could I possibly set him up?"

It was hard for Wren to say anything at that moment.

He was well aware of Robert's character, but he didn't want to create an uncomfortable situation for the family.

"I'll have a word with Nathaniel about your land, but this issue isn't as simple as you think."

After he finished speaking, he climbed into the car and instructed the driver to head back.

Early the next morning, upon learning that Nathaniel and Cecilia

had returned and settled in the

previous night, Wren had been

waiting in the living room since early morning.

When he saw Nathaniel, he called him into the study. They then discussed

Robert's matter from the previous day.

Nathaniel's brow furrowed. "Dad, I can't agree to this."

"We're all family here, so there's no need to push your uncle to the brink," Wren said.

Nathaniel was quite disappointed with his father.

"Dad, ever since we were kids, it's always been Mom who looked after me and Nicholas. You were always out there, living your life. Whenever Nicholas and I were bullied, we could only rely on ourselves. Now, I'm being bullied again. Instead of confronting the person who's bullying me, you're asking me to forgive him. How does that make any sense?"

In the past, Nathaniel didn't perceive anything significant about his father,

primarily due to their limited time spent together.

Contrarily, he was actually quite fond of his father.

Every time Wren returned, he would regale Nathaniel with tales of

d.ne

various fascinating happenings from the outside world and would also take him out to have fun.

At that moment, however, Nathaniel had his own children and had become a

father himself. Only then did he realize that Wren was not a responsible father at

all.

Wren was rendered speechless.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving," Nathaniel said again.

Perhaps out of guilt, Wren didn't stop him. "All right. Go ahead."

After Nathaniel left the study, his complexion was rather unsightly. When he went

to the office with Cecilia, Cecilia immediately noticed it.

"What's wrong?" asked Cecilia.

Nathaniel didn't want her to worry about his matters, so he shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
