Chapter 870
Morris kept his face blank, but his handseyebrows were furrowed with concern. Lincoln continued, "Ashley
called you Nathan, so is your last nRowland? Are you really the heir of the Rowland family? No wonder my
brother thinks so highly of you; it's because of your prestigious family background."
Yet, Lincoln didn't seem impressed by Morris's noble roots. In fact, he looked down on him even more. "But don't
think I'll respect you just because you cfrom a fancy family. I'm not superficial. My daughter doesn't need to
marry into wealth; she's already got that. | just want her to find someone who genuinely loves and cherishes
her."
Morris suddenly felt a playful urge and teased, "How do you know I'm not the one who truly loves and cherishes
her?"
He had given his heart, his everything to her. How could Lincoln be so blind to it?
Lincoln retorted with arrogance, "You might have a tiny bit of affection for her. But with your on-again, off-again
behavior with Ashley, | would never let my daughter end up with a guy as fickle as you. You're not committed."
Morris sighed silently. He shot Lincoln a piercing look. "If I hadn't kept things ambiguous with Ashley, do you
think your daughter would have walked away from me?"
Lincoln was taken aback. "What are you saying? Did you really flirt with Ashley just to mislead my daughter?"
Morris nodded slightly, confirming it.
Lincoln thought for a moment, then muttered, "Do you really not care for my daughter? What's wrong with her?
Or are you judging her because she's been married before?"
"No..." Morris shouted, his voice filled with emotion. "I've never looked down on her."

Not being able to stop her from marrying Cameron was his biggest regret. Every the thought about it, it tore
at his heart. How could he ever despise her?
Lincoln paused, "If that's the case, why don't you care for my daughter?"
Morris could only reply, "Fate is something you encounter, not something you chase."
With that, he wheeled himself away leaving behind a sense of freedom. But Lincoln, watching him leave, could
see a hint of sadness and loneliness in his retreating figure.
"Are you really from the Rowland family, the ones from the south side of the city?" Lincoln suddenly asked.
Morris hesitated for a long tbefore giving a barely noticeable nod.
Lincoln's teacup slipped from his hand and shattered on the floor. Morris turned back, silently watching Lincoln.
Lincoln awkwardly squatted down, gathering the pieces with an embarrassed smile. "I slipped."
Morris turned his wheelchair back around to face him. "Why are you so shocked to hear I'm from the Rowland
family?"
Lincoln tossed the shards into the trash and sank onto the couch, looking dejected. Then he began to share a
sad story.
