Twenty years of feelings can't be cast aside so easily.
As for Poppy, he will personally go to apologize on behalf of Meredith Ford.
He'll atone for the sins she committed.
Sebastian Ford knows that his cousin is rather stubborn; his heart isn't wicked, just too kind, which makes him hold onto a glimmer of hope for Meredith Ford, bearing everything himself.
Just as he said, different standpoints mean he can't judge, but he'll do everything he can to protect Poppy.
"Cousin, you need to be clear, you can't change Meredith Ford's current situation. It's the Ford family that's suppressing her. Besides mom and dad, none of us ten brothers will let her have another chance to come back."
"I know, don't worry. I won't abet evil. These current punishments are what she deserves. What I want is simply to keep her alive and turn her into a good person."
