Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 227

Blythe glanced at Drusilla, fully aware that Enoch's tough stance on Colton was all for protecting Drusilla. This, in truth, rubbed Blythe the wrong way. But with Colton standing right there, she decided to hold her tongue.

She suggested to Colton, “Let’s head back for some dinner, shall we?”

“No way,” Colton retorted with stubborn pride.

If Enoch was denying him food, he’d rather starve.

Blythe looked at the little rebel and sighed, “Who did you get this stubborn streak from?”

Shortly after, Cormac appeared, spotting Colton and Drusilla. He offered Colton a hot dog from his hand, “Here, have this.”

Colton shot him a look and refused, “No, thanks.”

Blythe, watching the scene unfold, walked inside to yell at Enoch. With Colton’s attitude, there was no way he’d eat unless Enoch gave the green light.

Drusilla, trying to ease the tension, said, “Colton, I’m going to grab something. How about you come with me? We can stop by Verena’s place.”

Colton nodded in agreement, “Okay.”

“I’ll be just a moment, wait here for me. I need to pick up a few things upstairs.”

Her purse and keys were still in her room. After saying this, Drusilla headed inside, making her way upstairs.

He chose to support her over his own son?

She argued, “But you shouldn’t have spoken to Colton like that. Do you know why he lashed out at Harlan? He doesn’t like Harlan, and yet you forced him to apologize. Kids have their pride too. You’re his father, and you scold him without understanding the situation? Do you know how hurt he was?”

Enoch responded, “Kids need to be taught to grow up. I’m teaching him to take responsibility. Look at him, not even realizing what he did was wrong. Refusing to eat just because I said so. He was with Verena before, and she didn’t teach him these things, so I shouldn’t either? He’s my son, why do you seem more upset than I am?”

Drusilla, seeing Enoch’s frustrated expression, coughed slightly, realizing she might have overreacted.

In her anger, she almost forgot what mattered most. She explained to Enoch, “Maybe he didn’t apologize because he finds Harlan annoying. Being forced to apologize to someone you dislike? I wouldn’t want to either.”

Enoch looked at Drusilla, sighing, “You’re always covering for him, but it’s you who’ll suffer in the end. When he causes trouble down the line, you’ll be the one to take the blame, you know?”
