Lincoln felt like he'd been struck by lightning. He couldn't believe his ears as he stared at Morris. "You're Kelly's
son? Really Kelly's son?" he stammered in disbelief.
Morris nodded. "Yes, Uncle."
Tears streamed down Lincoln's face as he sank onto the couch, overwhelmed.
"Can you take off your sunglasses so | can see your face?" he asked, his voice filled with emotion.
Nathalie quickly stepped in, covering Morris's eyes with her hand. "Dad, Nathan's eyes were injured; he can't
handle bright light."
Her protective gesture warmed Morris's heart, but it nearly gave Lincoln a heart attack.
Lincoln's irritation at Nathalie's protectiveness quickly faded as he turned his full attention to Morris. "What's
wrong with your eyes?" he demanded.
Nathalie explained, "When Nathan was a kid, he got kidnapped. Those people abused him, and that's why he has
eye and leg problems."
Lincoln exploded with anger, cursing Gavin. "The Rowland family, with all their money and power, couldn't even
keep a child safe. Your father is a disgrace. Couldn't he hire more bodyguards for you?"

Lincoln replied, "You're quite forgiving, always thinking of him."
Morris went silent.
Nathalie noticed Morris's fists were clenched tight, clearly holding back a storm of emotions.
She quickly changed the subject. "Dad, I'm taking Nathan upstairs to rest." Lincoln's face was serious. "Go on."
He waved them off reluctantly.
Nathalie guided Morris out of the room quickly.
Once they reached Morris's bedroom, his bottled-up emotions burst free.
He suddenly wrapped his arms around Nathalie's waist, burying his face in her embrace. "Nathalie, I'm not his
son," he confessed, his voice shaking.
Nathalie was stunned.
After a long pause, she softly asked, "Is that why you spared him when you went after the four great families?"
Morris replied, "If my mom betrayed him first, it's understandable he couldn't accept me. All these years, he's
been stuck withfor the McCoy family's sake."
Tears welled up in Nathalie's eyes. "Even though he acknowledged you, he never acted like a real father."
Nathalie held Morris tightly, her heart aching. "Thinking about everything you've been through, 1 regret letting
him take you away. Would things have been better otherwise?"
Morris said, "Reuniting with you, Nathalie, is already more than | hoped for."
He once feared he'd die quietly in prison.
With tears in her eyes, Nathalie vowed, "Nathan, | couldn't protect you before, but now | won't let them
manipulate you again. Tell me, do you really not like Ashley? If so, 'll help you break off the engagement. You
shouldn't compromise because of the Rowland family."
Morris hesitated, a flicker of doubt in his eyes.
"Do you still have feelings for her?" Nathalie pressed.
Morris couldn't help but smile wryly.
Apart from Nathalie, he had feelings for no one.
Yet Ashley was his shield against
love. If he cut ties WLTASHES Where
