A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1431

“What do you want? Do you intend to bring Hannah back here? I'm telling you right now: that's impossible!” Heather exclaimed emotionally.

Hannah was a good woman through and through, but the problem was that she could not conceive. That issue was like a landmine buried deep within her.

I'm the elder of the Norton family. How can I possibly allow the bloodline of the noble Norton family to end like this?

“Mom, can you please calm down and let me finish? Do you see yourself right now? What do you look like? A wealthy landlady in the feudal era? Or the dictatorial Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty?”

Fabian found it quite unacceptable. Mom, how can you expect me to give up the love of my life for the sake of carrying on the family lineage? Don't you think that's too much to ask for? Yes, Hannah cannot conceive. But we can still adopt, can't we? Are you saying that all those people out there with fertility problems should die alone?

“Hmph! Just like I thought. Children grow up and think they know everything. How dare you talk to me like that? I'm your mother! I'm telling you now, so what if I'm the dictator in this family? What are you going to do about that? Do you plan to abandon your mother in favor of a simple woman?”

Heather lectured him, giving in to her emotions again. She could tolerate anything, but this was the one thing that she could not accept. Why? This was a family problem. It was not merely her or Fabian's personal matter. She could not bring herself to joke about it.

“Mom, don't you think you're being unfair to Hannah? Think about it, why are people out there constantly conspiring against Hannah, framing her, and at one point even have her kidnapped? She was just a journalist from a media company. How could she have attracted such a high volume of resentment?”

Fabian remained patient as he explained his perspective to his agitated mother, as he always did. He hoped he could change his mother's traditional mindset.

“Of course I know that you're the cause of Hannah's sufferings, but what can we do about that? “Hannah cannot conceive. So what do you expect from me? “What am I supposed to tell your father? “What do you expect me to tell the ancestors of the Norton family after I pass on?

“Now's not the time for you to be stubborn, Fabian. I'm telling you, I won't allow that woman to enter this house no matter what! If you insist on marrying her, then... over my dead body!” Heather exclaimed viciously as she put her foot down.
