The father accepted his mistakes and properly apologised to Lucian though it’s late.
I am glad that he said that Lucian need not accept his apology and can punish him as he deemed fit.
At least the father is self aware that his mistakes aren’t small enough to be forgiven just because he apologised years later.
The trauma and pain the young kid suffered is no joke.
I am glad that Lucian learning a healthy and good way to love his beloved despite all his traumatic past. And he is saying that he will respect her decision if she thinks differently. It shows he is not only love her and obsessed with her but also respects her.
