Allen completely disregarded his question. What type of person was Aiden? He was self-centered with his partner and refused to plead with her to keep the pregnancy. He wasn't prepared to marry her either; he was searching for someone to convince Katie not to terminate the pregnancy.
Can someone be egotistical towards a woman he has been intimate with? He was uncertain about how to process this pride of his. If Lilian hadn't stepped in, he would have left things as they were.
A man should take responsibility for his actions. He was now accountable for his daughter, and Aiden should also be accountable to the mother of his unborn child and the child itself.
"Lilian might ask you to join her for dinner with her ex-husband—go, but keep your distance. I might show up there, but I haven't mentioned it to her," Allen directed.
