How could Jimmy Horne possibly call Noah Reyes 'Daddy' now? Her own man had gambled unfairly this time. How could he use Adele Horne's future as a stake? It was especially unfair to Jimmy Horne. What Jimmy Horne desired most was fatherly love. Now that his father had actually come looking for him, they were trying to prevent a father and son from acknowledging each other. Wasn't that essentially severing the very paternal bond Jimmy Horne yearned for?
As if guessing Julia's thoughts, Glades Horne looked at her intensely, saying gravely, "Julia, don't think about helping Noah Reyes. However, this is something you probably won't be able to help with." After saying that, Glades Horne smiled, seemingly quite pleased with himself. Then, in a good mood, he wrapped his arm around Julia's shoulders and they walked back, ready to go inside and watch Noah Reyes's attempt.
