Chapter 536 A Favor
Some things are hard to keep inside, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"I will do my best to assist William in recovering his memory. If he continues to struggle with amnesia, at least his physical well-being can be restored. As my belly grows, I will eventually have to speak the truth to him. It is unfair to deceive him into believing that the child in my womb is his. However, I am also concerned that Dalton may once again manipulate his marriage once we get divorced.
"I do not oppose William's marriage; I simply wish to shield it from Dalton's influence. I do not wish for him to endure suffering, a sentiment he shares as well. If he can marry the woman he desires, I will offer him my blessings."
Brandon remarked, "William grew up in a very strict environment. I know Dalton well. He prioritizes self-interest above all else and shows no mercy even to his own son. William used to be frequently subjected to his harsh discipline. Whenever William cherished something, he sought to destroy it."
Ava listened, heart pounding. "Growing up in such an environment, William must have felt very repressed."
Brandon nodded. "Yes, so I feel that this time, his amnesia might be a way to deliberately forget those painful memories and only remember the good ones."
Ava fell silent. After a while, she suddenly looked up and said, "Uncle, didn't you say you could help? I have a favor to ask. Can you help me?"
"Of course." Brandon agreed without even asking what it was. "Just say it. No matter what it is, I can do it for you."
"It's like this," Ava said, "Since you know the reason for my marriage to William, and you also know that while our marriage can temporarily help him, it also limits him. We can't always maintain a nominal marriage; it's unfair to him. But I'm worried that once we get divorced, he will be forced to marry again."
At this point, Ava paused, thinking about how to persuade Brandon.
Hearing this, Brandon already understood her meaning. "Ava, you want me to talk to Dalton, right?"
Ava nodded. "Yes, can you? I feel that he will listen to you."
With Brandon's high status, Dalton would definitely take his opinion seriously.
"Of course," Brandon said without hesitation, "I will talk to Dalton about this. If I had known about this earlier, I would have stepped in to stop it."
Ava breathed a sigh of relief. "Uncle, thank you. I believe you can persuade him. And I think that after what William has gone through, Dalton will change somewhat."
Brandon smiled helplessly, "Dalton has experienced too many changes in his life. He might be used to it by now. But don't worry, I will talk to him properly. However, you also have to promise me one thing, okay?"
Ava asked curiously, "What is it?"
"After William recovers, if he still hasn't regained his memory, you should tell him the truth and get divorced as soon as possible."
Ava said, "You don't have to worry. I won't cling to William, and I won't rush to find a father for the child."
Brandon frowned. "Do you think that's how I perceive you? You underestimate me too much."
