Evan Fairchild remained silent, his expression terrifyingly grim.
Auntie Lana and Claire Walsh were scared to death. Mr. Fairchild looked so menacing, yet Master Hale wasn't the least bit afraid.
"Mr. Fairchild, I don't want to be your son anymore! Can you give me back to my mom?" Ian Monroe suddenly ran in front of Evan Fairchild, blocking his path.
"Impossible!" came Evan Fairchild's cold, one-word reply.
Ian Monroe suddenly clung to Evan Fairchild's leg. "Mommy doesn't like you. She doesn't want to come... Does this mean she won't want Ian anymore?"
Evan Fairchild stopped in his tracks and looked down at Ian Monroe.
"Ian Monroe, do you know what it means if your mother doesn't marry me?"
"What does it mean?"
"It means you have to choose between your mother and me!"
"I choose Mommy!" Ian Monroe answered without hesitation.
"That's not your choice to make."
"Then who's going to make the choice for me!" Ian Monroe looked at his father's grave expression. 'I'm so scared.'
