    Chapter 560 You''re Right, I Am Selfish


    Graham grew silent. After a long minute, he sighed and asked, "You think I never should''ve married Rowena, don''t you?"


    Jenny said nothing. Yes, she did feel that way. Graham shouldn''t have married that woman even though he couldn''t be with Jenny''s mother. Couldn''t he have waited until he had what it took to go back for her mother?


    If Graham''s feelings for her mother weren''t gone, why would he marry Rowena ss and even have a child with her?


    "After your mother was taken away all those years ago, I decided to amass my power and get her back, but not without making sure you were settled somewhere safe. The former patriarch then urged me to marry, and Rowena offered her hand in marriage. I wanted to borrow her family''s strength to secure ours, that''s all. I never thought about having another child with her." He sighed again. "But I underestimated Rowena''s ambition. She got me drunk and conceived my child without my consent, wanting to use that as a pawn against me. But I''m telling you now, Jenny, I''ve only ever loved your mother. Neither Rowena nor Jolene will ever be as important to me as you and your mother are."


    That was why Graham would never make Jolene his heir. Even if he did, Jolene would naturallye for Jenny''s neck. He couldn''t let that happen.


    Jenny was still unhappy. "You spin a tale about how innocent you are in all this, but at the core of things, you''re just a selfish man."


    She couldn''t ept the fact that Graham married someone just to be more powerful. She would never do that if she was in his ce. She''d rather work her way up, as difficult as it might be.


    "You''re right. I am selfish." Graham didn''t refute her words. He wasn''t just selfish; he was cold, too. "All I care about is you and your mother''s safety. I don''t give a damn about anyone else."


    He didn''t even feel love for Jolene, only the responsibility to care for her because she shared his blood.


    The father and daughter remained silent for a long time until Jenny broke the tension. "Let''s...talk about this some other time. I haven''t nned to this extent yet."


    She still wanted to be a doctor. As for her family... who knows what might happen in the future?


    Graham nodded, not pushing it further. He couldn''t rush things now. Personally, he wasn''t in a rush either. He wasn''t too old. Jenny could have a decade or two to decide.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    Plus, he had his own matters to take care of right now. Jenny hade home, and next on his list was Jenny''s mother.


    Suddenly a knock came on the door. When Jenny opened it to find Alec standing outside, she recalled she hadn''t told him that Graham was there.


    "Done with work?" she asked, now worried.


    "Yeah. I figured it''s better to cook our meal. Alec raised his handfuls of grocery bags. He had juste back from a trip to the supermarket.


    Before Jenny could respond, Graham was making his presence known. His face darkened when he saw Alec in the doorway. "I thought I had made myself clear."


    He had warned Alec about seeing his daughter. Looks like he hadn''t learned his lesson at all.
