I just got off the phone and my dad came back
He happened to see the agreement in my hand, so he asked a few questions and I filled him in on the situation.
Every time we talked about Damon, my dad's face would turn stern. He took the agreement, skimmed through it, and snorted, "Yeah, he's really generous in this respect, but unfortunately, this is the only area where he acts like a human being"
I didn't know how to respond to him.
"Eliana, you make your own decisions. We have no problem supporting you. Even if you remarry, your mom and I can handle it. We're not after the money. we're after dignity. Whether you take the money you deserve or you show your dignity by not taking it, I understand either way"
Dad said it with passion.
He's always been a tough guy who values dignity and never bows down for money. He didn't even want to run the family business.
