บท 510: Nothing alike (2)

"I understand perfectly. You're going to give the same story of her being your first love and grandfather forcing you to marry my mother. We've heard this perhaps a thousand times and I have long been bored of it from the first time it was told. Enjoy your birthday with her. I shall not be attending nor will my wife or Alfred. Happy birthday. Save that and remember it when the day comes," said Edgar.

Edmund could not understand Edgar. "Your mother is the one who almost got Alfred killed. Your driver died because of her jealousy. She disliked your wife and tried everything she could to have other young ladies bully Alessandra. Yet you've forgiven her only to remain hostile toward me. My relationship should not have you so angry."
