John Allan has all of this going on, then his “not-real-son” does EXACTLY what boys from that social class were all doing when they went off to University. Edgar is a teen at this point so he’s just extra moody and ready to fight, but doesn’t have the blood connection to save the relationship. Allan probably sees the looming death of his wife and knows he will finally get to marry his mistress and start over fresh with the family he actually wants.
