The Duke really has two heads to deal with this.
Back then, when he was mad at Sylvia, he deliberately did this to annoy her.
Who knew, Sylvia was different from other women, got angry, and without a word, left him and ran off.
Poor him and the little stay-at-home kid David.
"Sylvia, I really know I was wrong about that. Look at these years, I've changed so much. To acknowledge and correct mistakes is a great deed, please forgive me."
Duke Redington is no longer caring that there are Lucas family members watching here.
This iron-fisted Duke, apologizing to his wife, does it so fluently.
"Father-in-law, that's not how it works. You just said that such things are like a thorn in the heart, and an apology can't make it as if it never happened. I mistook Hannah Ford for Lily and nearly married her. You, back then, further involved with more than twenty women... surely you didn't mistake them all for Mother-in-law?"
