A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 972

No matter what, a man's own family should always come first. But now, it seemed Darian had entirely lost the plot.

Darian was speechless. Hearing Caden's blunt assessment made his breathing grow heavy.

"What do you mean I'm turning into him? Do you have any idea what Tanya is doing right now? She had Yulisa abducted! Do you know what she's planning?"

Who was the priority here? Taking direct action against Yulisa wasn't just a big deal—it crossed a major line!

"What could she possibly be planning?" Caden shot back without missing a beat. "She just wants to get away from you. Have you looked at yourself lately? Do you know who you sound like?"

"Like who?"

"Like Fairfax. You're exactly like him," Caden said bluntly.

When Fairfax had pushed Starla to the edge, she did the exact same thing—she aimed all her fury straight at Brinley. At the time, Fairfax had relentlessly protected Brinley, just as Darian was doing now. His frantic concern for Yulisa mirrored Fairfax's past behavior perfectly.

"How is it exactly the same?" Darian argued. "Am I supposed to just sit back and watch her kill Yulisa? Do I have to turn a blind eye to prove I'm on her side?"

"If you were actually on her side, she wouldn't have felt the need to take Yulisa in the first place! None of this would be happening."

Darian fell silent.

Every word out of Caden's mouth was sharp and completely unsympathetic. He was trying to curse some sense into his friend. With Fairfax, Caden had always held back, only offering gentle warnings when he saw mistakes being made. But with Darian, he wasn't pulling any punches. He refused to let Darian become a second Fairfax.
