Chapter 1215
Lydia wrapped her arms around Quincy. "I joined York Corporation to gain some experience. And with your help, I've learned so much. But I always knew I'd leave one day. Quincy, I want to see you reach your full potential, not be limited by someone else's shadow. Do you understand what I'm saying?" She wanted him to succeed, but if he chose to stay, she wouldn't push him. Still, she couldn't help but wonder why he would limit himself when he had the ability to go so much further.
"I understand, but Lydia, I've committed to following Mr. York for life. I'll do my best to gain your father's approval. But if, in the end, he still doesn't accept me..."
Before Quincy could finish, Lydia's face turned serious. "Quincy, you've been through so much. Just because my dad says no, you're going to give up?"
She was frustrated. They had been through so much together. And now, just because her father disapproved, he was ready to walk away?
Quincy pressed his lips together and spoke softly, "It's not about giving up. I'll do everything I can to win him over. But if he still doesn't agree, I can't just drag you into an unapproved marriage. That wouldn't be right."
He didn't want to be in a relationship that wasn't blessed by their families. He couldn't bear the thought of getting married without the support of their loved ones. As her father had said, Lydia deserved the best.
Lydia felt a mix of anger and amusement. "If he won't agree, you do know that we could just... make it happen, right? If we have a child, he'll have to come around."
"I know. But I can't do that. If someone took my daughter away and she ended up with a man I didn't like, and then got pregnant? I'd be furious."
He held her shoulders gently. "Lydia, I love you and want to be with you. But I want us to be together with everyone's blessing. If not, I'd rather you choose someone else."
"You" Lydia was at a loss for words. "You're impossible, Quincy! After everything I've said, can't you be a little more ruthless?"
"Silly girl," Quincy said with a soft
smile. "If did that, it wouldn't be fair to you. You're not something to be won. You're someone I love. Even if we're not together, I just want you to be happy."

That was all Quincy wanted.
But things took an unexpected turn. Lydia's father pretended to be ill and tricked her into going home, leaving Quincy to manage York Corporation on his own. When Nash found out that Quincy was handling everything by himself, he decided to step in and help, leaving his kids and Nina behind for a while.
After all, York Corporation wasn't just Quincy's responsibility, and Quincy had a fiancée to think about now. Nash couldn't keep pushing Quincy to work like this.
Quincy appreciated Nash's concern.
"Mr. York can handle York Corporation on my own. You should
go back and take care of your wife and kids. Don't miss out on this time
with them."
He remembered how Nash had been forced to send Orion away when he was born. Now that Nash had a second chance to be there, he needed to seize it.
Nash sighed. "can't just let you
