Seeing him silent, Finn poured him a glass of wine and raised it, clinking it against his.
"Drink up. I feel like you'll be under your mom's thumb all your life. Being able to be with Eve Sherman for a while is your reward for living diligently, but as for having your beloved by your side for a lifetime, you're still not qualified."
"After all, you haven't sacrificed anything, nor have you worked hard for her to earn respect in this family."
Finn rarely spoke so earnestly, his expression made Ethan hesitant to interject.
He watched Stellan, worried that Stellan might get angry.
But Stellan's gaze merely darkened momentarily, with no other reaction.
He seemed to be contemplating Ethan's words.
After a long while, Stellan finally raised his glass and clinked it with Finn's.
"Anyway, if Eve decides to leave you later on, I won't intervene. Rest assured, as for how she'll fare alone with the child, that's up to her."
Finn's words were harsh but hit the mark.
