At first, Duke Leander wasn't sure why his wife had said all that.
Why would he even faint again?
Were they hiding something worse? Grandchildren he didn't know about?
No.
Apparently not. And really, it would have been better if they were just hiding babies.
Because just before he fainted for the third time, he finally understood why he'd been kept away from Luca.
The poor Duke, whose heart now felt torn to pieces, realized that all of this stemmed from nothing but a misunderstanding. And it just so happened to include another boy who was far too responsible for his own good.
"Lia… is that seriously how it happened?!" asked the weakened father, his voice cracking. Never in his life had he felt this fragile, not even when he'd nearly died after being contaminated by corruption.
