For any teenager in their twenties to suddenly find out about their father having an illegitimate daughter, it would be hard to accept this kind of reality. 7
This was especially so for Sophie.
She was the same as her mother, Helen. Both had serious mysophobia in regards to relationships. 3
Despite never having dated anyone till today, Sophie would certainly be like her mother and insist on divorcing her husband if the same thing happened to her.
Thus, even though it was hard for her to accept this reality at the moment, she fully agreed with her mother's decision.
Regarding this matter, Jaime had a little bit of male chauvinism.
To him, it was impossible for his father to be loyal to marriage for a lifetime based on his identity.
A wealthy man would rarely be satisfied with only one partner of the opposite gender. Hence, it was normal t o flirt outside. 4
After all, he grew up in an upper-class social circle from a young age. In this circle, he had seen many men's flirtation.
It was commonplace to have illegitimate sons and daughters in this kind of circle.
The most extreme case that he had come across was a n internet billionaire who had hooked up with many women to give birth to a bunch of kids. And he had even bragged about it on social media.
Thus, comparatively, his father had only had a one night stand with his bodyguard, and they had had a daughter. Judging by this incident, Jaime felt that in this circle, his father was relatively low-key and a family man.
Besides, the women in this circle had already gotten used to these kinds of situations. 1
