Let me go, Mr. Hill By Shallow South Chapter 1947 Ryan made use of the opportunity immediately. â Dad, Mom, Freya is your goddaughter after all.
Wonât it be embarrassing for you guys if she ends up in a bad situation?â
Nathanâs brows were knit in a tight frown. He was seemingly wavering.
When Ryan saw that, he added, âDad, youâre the person I admire the most in my life, and youâve achieved the position that you wanted. But how many people have you and Grandpa plotted against all these years? Canât we be kinder sometimes?
After all, you once said you took up this position because you wanted to make the lives of Australiaâs citizens better. Isnât Freya your citizen as well?
Please donât let authority blind you.â
Nathanâs heart thumped. He looked toward his son, who was at his side. âI didnât do that just for myself.
Iâm paving a path for you too.â
Ryan shook his head indifferently. âYou and Grandpa have set your thoughts too far. The position of prime minister isnât hereditary. It doesnât mean that your son will take the position after you. If you have such thoughts, Iâll think that youâve changed. Youâve become like the kings of the past, greedy and selfish.â
âRyan⦠How can you say that about your father?â Heidi saw Nathanâs dark expression and told Ryan âDad, what I said is the truth. Such are humans. When weâre at the bottom of the mountain, we think that the view at the top is better. But after we climb up with all our might, we think that the view on another taller mountain is better. Ambitions are like a bottomless pit.â
Ryanâs clear eyes gazed at his father. âAre you starting to feel unsatisfied again now that youâre in the position of prime minister?â
Nathan was shocked.
It seemed like his son had pointed out something that he did not realize himself.
âDad, no family will last at the top forever. If I canât assume the position of prime minister in the future, that only means that Iâm incapable. There are other people whoâre better than me, and Iâll accept it wholeheartedly. I believe that that person will do better than me too.â
Ryan smiled. He was calm and direct. âIâll do my best, but itâs okay even if I fail. There are benefits to being in a high and low position. Why do we have to be so fixated on it?â
Nathan looked at his son. The calmness in Ryanâs eyes made him feel at ease all of a sudden.
He became relaxed as well.
âMaybe youâre right.â Nathan sighed and smiled. â Iâm already in my forties. I should be content with governing the country properly and accompany your mom and my family more.â
âYes. Youâll surely be remembered in history, â Ryan said as he smiled sincerely.
âLook at you.â Nathan shook his head helplessly. â Since Freya wants to get a divorce, Iâll do my best to persuade your grandpa.â
Heidi nodded. âThereâs indeed no need to ruin her life. But whatâs troublesome is her daughterâ¦â
âMom, the child canât be left with Rodney. With Sarahâs evil personality, wonât she abuse the child if she and Rodney get married in the future?â Ryan said hastily.
âYou have a point there. â Heidi looked at her son and smiled. âWhat do you think we should do?â
âItâs simple. Freya can stay in The Lodge. The child will follow and be under our watch. Then, everyone can rest assured. If Uncle Jason and his wife miss their granddaughter, they can bring Dani over to live with them when sheâs a little older. But she can never have any contact with Sarah.â
Ryan expressed his idea, which Heidi and Nathan agreed to.
