Michael Linton's gaze was too sharp; Fabian Holmes really wanted to shake his head and say no, but under that sharp gaze, he instantly lost the courage, although he didn't directly nod and say yes either.
"This is an issue between us adults, so don't involve the kids." Since he had already decided to protect his innocent and pitiful little son, he was determined to do so and could not fear authority.
"He's not a child anymore, if I remember correctly, he should be in his twenties by now, he's already an adult." Michael Linton didn't give up on uncovering the truth just because of Fabian Holmes' protective stance, he wasn't trying to go against anyone, he just wanted to figure out what had really happened.
However, Fabian Holmes didn't grasp his real intention. Seeing him persistently hounding Theodore Holmes, Fabian Holmes thought he was just trying to give Theodore a hard time, and a surge of anger suddenly rose in his heart.
