"However." George changed the topic. "I can still consider what you just said."
Edward raised his eyebrows.
"I don't know whether my mother wants me to like you or not, but since she has told me that you're my father, it means she wants me to acknowledge you. If I don't, my mother won't blame me, but she may feel uncomfortable about it. So, I can pretend to be good with you," George said, "when my mother is around."
He meant that Edward should not expect him to do so at other times.
Edward pursed her lips and fell silent for a while.
George did not seem to be a talkative person, but he looked at Edward and said, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm going upstairs."
"Do you like Kingsley very much?" Edward asked.
"I don't." George was straightforward in his answer.
Edward's eyes moved slightly.
"But in comparison, I don't like you even more."
Those words made Edward exasperated.
