Lady Invincible

Chapter 82

"Father, why are you overdoing it when you're not feeling well?"

Ricardo held on to Diego, who wasn't budging.

"Stop going inside."

Ricardo's face stiffened.

Diego still couldn't calm down and tried to push Ricardo away with blood on his forehead.

"Ricardo, get out of my way! Now I'm... "

"Father, that's enough."

Ricardo, however, rather tightened his grip on Diego's hand. He spoke to Diego in the most determined manner ever.

Diego turned his eyes to Ricardo, who stood next to him.

Ricardo had also heard Diego and Hilise talk from the entrance of the garden.

But it wasn't too late to stop Diego when he just started shouting.

Ricardo's dissuasion of Diego now was complex. First of all, the selfish heart that he didn't want to reveal anymore in front of Axion Berzet was the biggest.

But there's a concern about Hilise, who might be offended by his father for showing him face to face like this in front of a guest.

The mind was partly involved. Of course, the guilt of turning a blind eye to Hilise again at Amelie's party yesterday was tenuous underlying it.

"I'm sorry. My father's been a little nervous lately because of his health. I'll take you in because you're tired of it."

Ricardo apologized politely to Axion. By then Diego had regained some of his lost rationality.

"Yes, Hilise...you're...misunderstanding. We have guests now, so let's talk candidly later."

Violent emotions were also heavily stamped on the voice that was chewed out.

However, Diego, who was not confident of overcoming the humiliation, had no choice but to step down.

His face, supported by Ricardo as if he hadn't won, was stained with deep humiliation.

Diego forgot to say goodbye to Axion and gritted his teeth and left the garden first with Ricardo.

Then, on the green-leaved road, Hilise and Axion were left alone.

"Excuse me. I unintentionally attract customers to the problem of Inoaden."

"No, it's not." Axion answered Hilise's apology.

He then tried to add something to it and shut up again because nothing seemed appropriate in this situation.

Axion's face was still stiff.

"You don't have to worry about what your father just said. Let's make the next appointment." He said and looked towards Hilise. However, her face was unreadable.

Axion stared at her calm gold eyes for a moment and opened his mouth even in this situation.

"I'll do it if you want."

But he stuck his foot in the back.

"But Diego's words also have a bone to pick me up."

It was when Hilise's face was frowned on.

"Let's do this."

Axion's subsequent actions then gradually opened the eyes of Hilise, who had never revealed her feelings.
