"Thank you for finally acting like a father, even if you are acting like a shitty one. However, I do not need it," Nicolai said to the man swiftly. He turned to his mother and said to her, "Have him dragged out of the house, if he doesn't leave." He then turned to look at Dominic and said, "I am not you, I do not need a demure and a pathetic damsel in distress woman just because a stronger one scares the living daylights out of me."
"I am living then," Nicolai told his mother.
"Alright, Nico," Inez nodded without forcing her son, as she knew that her son knew what he wanted and desired. There was no changing his mind once he set his mind to it.
She didn't want to force her child into a marriage which would not bring happiness to him. If Dominic hadn't come to her office and demanded that she call Nicolai while refusing to leave, Inez would not have bothered with this matter.
