In the past, when the Marquisette had refused to accept the child into their household, the Marquis had refused to listen since he knew it was just his wife being mad at his affair and jealous at the same time. But he felt it would work out and took the child in.
But as a way to atone for his affair, he did not meddle in the things they did to Julian. He knew how cruel they were to him, but turned a blind eye.
He felt that just taking him into their household and giving him his last name was already a good grace. But now he regrets it.
"This is why you should've never taken him in. He should've stayed with his mother and starved alongside her."
The marquis was thinking of that too. If he hadn't taken in his illegitimate son, this ill fate would have never befell his son. That wicked and conniving child… He felt spiteful and wished he could undo his mistake. The mistake of feeling a shred of pity for the child his commoner lover had shamelessly brought to his doorstep.
