Chapter 1697

Collapsing on the ground, Rowan whispered with his face flushing in embarrassment, "Dad, I know I

was wrong. I-I will never dare to do it again…"

Hearing that, Wilfred sighed again. "I hope you really know my mistakes this time."

As soon as those words escaped his lips, he made his way to the main seat and sat down with the help

of the people next to him.

After looking at the crowd present, his gaze finally landed on Sean.

"Sean, how many times have I told you that you are the head of the Cosby Family? You must take the

overall situation into consideration first, no matter what you do! How can you act on impulse and let the

situation get to this point?!" Wilfred reprimanded.

At this moment, Sean gradually regained his senses. Feeling ashamed, he uttered under his breath,

"Dad, I know I was wrong. I-I just couldn't think straight because it involved Tristen…"

Waving his hand, Wilfred said, "I know you were heartbroken when our men returned with news about

Tristen's death. But, did you think I'm feeling any better than you? Like you, I was heartbroken too.

Sean, even if you were heartbroken, you still have to remember your position regardless of what! You

must remember that you are the head of the Cosby Family. No matter what action you take, you must

take the thousands of members of the Cosby Family into consideration, for that is your responsibility!

It's fine for you to do anything that you wish to do, as long as you're not the head of the Cosby Family.

That's not the case, is it? Are you aware that everything you do represents the dignity of the Cosby

Family?"

Looking ashamed, Sean lowered his head and reassured, "Dad, I understand. I'll definitely pay

attention to my behavior and actions in the future!"

In the meantime, Tristen, who stood on the side, looked a little ghastly.

She didn't blame Wilfred for being merciless. It was like what Wilfred had said; taking up the position as

the head of the household simply meant that Sean had to be responsible for the entire Cosby Family.

However, it was precisely because Sean was the head of the Cosby Family that she had never felt the

warmth of any family love in these few years.

Later, Wilfred looked at Atticus and his fellows again. He sighed softly, "Atticus, things must've been

hard for you, considering your thoughtfulness for the entire family. After all, Sean is still too

inexperienced. So if something ever happens, I still have to rely on you to keep an eye on him."

Atticus couldn't help looking a little flustered. Deep down, he knew very well that Wilfred was verbally

giving him a slap in the face even though it sounded like Wilfred was discussing the matter with him.

To put it bluntly, the sole reason Wilfred said that Atticus was being so thoughtful of the Cosby Family

was simply because he knew that Atticus wanted to take over the reins of the family.

"Wilfred, we, too, are being impulsive this time. Don't you worry. I'll never make such a mistake again in

the future!" Atticus promised while cupping his hands.

Smiling and nodding, Wilfred then said softly, "That's good. We're a family after all, and getting along

harmoniously is the most important practice in a family. Think about it: won't our family be a laughing

stock for the outsiders if we started quarreling among ourselves first?"

At once, everyone present looked absolutely ashamed. Despite each of these people having their own

ulterior motives, they still behaved themselves in front of Wilfred.

No one in the Cosby Family dared to disobey and disrespect Wilfred, who had led the Cosby Family to

its triumph through decades of ups and downs.

After that, Wilfred spoke a few words before beckoning the crowd to leave.

Finally, only a few people were left in the inner courtyard.

Only then did Wilfred look at Tristen. Traces of tenderness surfaced in his eyes as he looked at Tristen.

He beckoned, "Tristen, come here and let me take a look at you."

At once, Tristen walked over to him.

Wilfred only heaved a sigh of relief after he'd carefully checked on her for a long time.

"Thank goodness you're fine!"

Realization hit her as her eyes were teary. Ever since I was a child, I'd always thought that Sean and

Wilfred didn't like me. New chаpter avąilable on

But it's only now that I know I'd misunderstood Dad and Grandpa all these years.

It's not that they don't love me. They're just not good at expressing their love for me.
