Violet Zimmerman was stunned by Daxton Lancaster's words, her mouth slightly open in shock as she looked at him, forgetting to react.
Daxton Lancaster's slender fingers continued to caress Violet Zimmerman's cheek, his phoenix eyes seemingly looking through her at something else.
"Violet, I know this idea is absurd. You're my wife, and I don't want you to be with another man, but I'm the Family Head. There are things beyond my control; I can't be without heirs. I can't let the inheritance my grandfather passed on to me fall into someone else's hands!"
He's not very clear about the grievances of the previous generation, but one thing he knows very well: his grandfather warned him to protect the position of Family Head and not let outsiders take it away!"
He knows who these "outsiders" are — it's none other than those from the second branch.
The position of Family Head might just be a symbol of power for himself, but for his grandfather, it's a heritage, a responsibility.
