Chapter 670 Leave Me Alone
James frowned hard upon hearing what Caleb said. He looked at his father and asked, "So,
you're saying you want me to marry her?" "Although I don't like that woman either, she's
still a Walter. Her mother is also from the Glass family. She's still a good match, so it's not
that difficult of a choice to accept her." Caleb analyzed the situation logically.
As a member of the Windsors, he believed that James should be prepared to sacrifice for
the family, especially since James' negligence caused this situation. It was only natural
that he should take responsibility. If he married Jolene, the Windsors would gain the
support of the Walters and Glasses. All things considered, it wasn't that bad of a deal.
James looked at his father. He snapped out of his thoughts after a long while. "Well, you're
certainly very rational, and what you said makes a lot of sense. But have you ever
considered my feelings?" he asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe didn't like Jolene. It could even be said that he despised her. If he married her, he felt
that the rest of his life would be done for. The thought of spending his life with her made
him feel like life had lost its meaning.
"I know you're not happy about it, but what's done is done. We have to find a way to
handle it," Caleb answered. He knew James was very unhappy, but what else could he do?
They couldn't burn their bridges with the Walters, not to mention that the two families had
a partnership. Even if they didn't enter into one, why would they want to make an
unnecessary enemy out of another prominent family?
To be fair, the Walters weren't that bad. Accepting a member of the Walters into their
ranks was better than James marrying an ordinary girl he liked in the future.
James looked at his father with a serious expression and asked, "Can't we refuse? Is my
happiness not worth considering, even if it means going against the Walters? As a father,
haven't you considered the situation on my behalf at all?"
"It's not worth it," Caleb replied. To him, it wasn't worth breaking ties with the Walter
family over something like this.
James scoffed at his words as if he had heard an unbelievable joke. "Not worth it? In your
eyes, your son's happiness can be measured in terms of worth, huh?"
Caleb didn't say anything. He knew James was incensed. But he also knew that James
wouldn't break ties with his family because of this. In the end, he would consider the
family's honor. That was also why he'd chosen James to take over the Windsors in the first
place. James was a person with a strong sense of family honor. He wouldn't do anything to
damage the family's reputation.
"This was your fault in the first place. Of course you have to take responsibility for it,"
Cillian said. He didn't think holding James accountable for what happened was unfair.
Seeing James' reluctant expression, he continued, "At our position, we have to be cautious
every step of the way. Otherwise, we'll be taken advantage of. You're not new to this after
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtaking over the Windsors; you should understand this. You're upset that you were taken
advantage of this time, but who can be held responsible for this? Who else can you
blame?"
James was rendered speechless. Noticing how defeated he looked, Cyrus comforted him,
"If you really don't want to, then we won't go through with the marriage. I'll support you."
"You shut up!" Cillian was infuriated at his unhelpful and troublesome younger brother.
James felt extremely guilty for his mishap upon seeing his family get into an argument
because of him. He knew he couldn't blame anyone else for what had happened-he had
been careless. Jolene and her mother wouldn't have succeeded if he'd been more cautious
or had brought bodyguards when he went out that day.
Regretting what should have been done was meaningless now. James could only accept
what had already happened, even if he didn't want to.
"Please leave me alone for a while," James said before leaving the living room. No one
went after him, as they all knew that he would ultimately make the most beneficial choice
for the family.
