Hearing those words, Zac's hands tightened involuntarily.
Ha... So in the end, this man still despised me for being an illegitimate child.
Yet before Zac could push Zane away, the man's calm, steady voice continued. "If the Yarbrough family were to fall from grace one day, how could I leave behind an inheritance for you to carry on? How could I ensure that you and your mother live out your days in peace and comfort?"
Zac's hands, which were about to push him away, paused for a brief moment. It was such a small gesture, barely perceptible, but Zane noticed.
The smile in his eyes deepened. ”Originally, all I ever wanted as your father was not for you to be someone extraordinary. I didn't expect you to achieve great fame or power. I only wished for you to live a safe, healthy life. One that is free from the burdens I carry and from the constant fear and caution that rule my days. That's why I refused to acknowledge you. That's why I even stopped you from going to university."
