👼 MY ANGEL 👼
Meanwhile, in Jeremy’s villa, his father demanded the truth with a deep, low voice.
“Tell me the truth, Jeremy!”
When he spoke, authority was exerted, just like his own father, The Old Master Peter Callahan. George Callahan was a man of status and power.
Jeremy was already dressed up and ready to go to the party in the hotel he owned. However, he had been seated in his office, talking to his father through a video call for a whole hour now.
He ran his hand through his hair as he kept taking deep breaths. “I am telling you the truth, dad,” Jeremy breathed those words in a low voice.
George looked at his son. Even through the laptop screen, he could see his distress.
He tried to hide it, but with a father who knew his son as well as George knew Jeremy, he knew better than to believe Jeremy was telling him the truth.
The truth about what he truly wanted. If he truly wanted to marry Victoria.
“No, you’re not Jeremy. You don’t want to marry Victoria at all. You don’t want to keep protecting her anymore. You want to repay the life debt you owe another way aside from marriage.”
And that was the truth. His father had known the truth without Jeremy confessing it himself.
A life debt was a social custom that stated if someone had saved a person's life, then that person owed the one who had saved them something in return.
In this case, Jeremy owed Victoria marriage and protection without question.
Jeremy laughed at himself heartbrokenly. What a difficult position he had put himself in.
“I have to fulfill my promise,” Jeremy said. That was all he could say. He had to keep his word to Victoria, as she had saved his life.
It was a debt he felt obligated to repay for the rest of his life, as he wouldn’t be alive if not for her.
George noticed how burdened Jeremy looked by all of this.
He hadn’t been this reluctant to marry Victoria before, so something had clearly changed.
“Does fulfilling your promise mean divorcing Elsa and marrying Victoria?” George asked.
He had been overseas for a decade and couldn’t even attend his son's hastily arranged wedding. He knew that the wedding was just for show to save Jeremy’s reputation, and the real one would be with Victoria. That was the one he couldn’t miss.
“That’s exactly what it would mean,” Jeremy answered with a pained voice.
George could feel the pain in his son’s voice and couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
