Broken Family Portrait 

Villain Ch 285. Broken Family Portrait 

In the past, Allen had clung to his identity as an unwanted child, and it had shaped his perspective on relationships. Sophia had made it clear that she wanted to wait until marriage to be intimate, and in a way, it resonated with Allen's fear of repeating the same mistakes his mother had made. He had respected her choice, believing that it was a way to prevent history from repeating itself.

"Does that mean your stepdad married your mom without taking you as his child?" Jane asked, trying to wrap her head around the complex dynamics of Allen's family situation. Such scenarios were uncommon, but not unheard of, particularly when the child was still young or even an infant.
