Brandan didn't know how to discuss the issue of Emily Dormer's child with Iris Harris.
It was too difficult.
He couldn't say it out loud.
No matter what, it was his carelessness. He failed to keep his promise to give her unparalleled love for a lifetime. He prevented her from getting pregnant but allowed another woman to have his child.
Though he might say he had no feelings for the child, what about Iris? Is it fair to her?
He didn't know how to face this problem.
The separation would be too painful, and he understood that once this matter was on the table, what he would face would be a breakup.
He couldn't find any reason to make her stay.
Because he has let her down once again.
The days passed slowly in this hesitation, with everything appearing peaceful when actually filled with inner turmoil.
On that day at the end of March, Charles Hyde called him, asking him to come home for dinner.
Brandan agreed.
