“You cannot blame yourself, I know it wasn’t your doing.”

“We cannot change the past, but just think if it was her who’d lost you. Would you want her to spend the rest of her life miserable and alone?”
December 15, 2024 at 12:24 AM
“And no one is asking you to stop, but you cannot stop living, son. She wouldn’t want that for you, and you know it.”

“It’s not sinful to be happy again, you know your wife would hate to see you miserable.” He sighed.

“Then take it off, you’re not betraying her.”

“Times have changed, son. The world isn’t a rigid place anymore, and women aren’t ashamed of their bodies.”
December 14, 2024 at 11:51 PM
“No one is expecting you to forget her, but we both know she would want you to find happiness again.”

“Irma wouldn’t want to you see moping, son.” The portrait said firmly.

“Good.” He responded, as he signed the last of the adoption papers and handed them to his owl to take to the ministry.

“I had so much faith in your father, but he disappointed me at every turn. Don’t be like him.”

Nodding, he sat back down and poured them both a glass of wine. “I’ve written up adoption papers as well, to transfer guardianship of you from your father to myself.”

“I’m going to take you in as my heir, your father was and is a useless parent and heir. I will do better for you.”
December 12, 2024 at 4:36 AM
“Your father might not have noticed but I’ve seen you pining for the Crabbe heiress, son. I’ve already given a contract to her father to read.”
December 12, 2024 at 3:52 AM
He knew he would be open to it, he’d seen the way he’d been eyeing the heiress to the Crabbe fortune at his dinner parties.

“Indeed, and I happen to know you already fancy her.”
December 11, 2024 at 11:03 PM
“I’ve let it slide long enough, son. Your father clearly isn’t capable of providing for you. And I have just the bride in mind for you.”
December 11, 2024 at 10:55 PM
And he wasn’t trying to argue, he simply believed his own grandson deserved better care.

“You need new clothes, my boy. And someone who wants an heir. How would you like to live here instead?”
