Tamed The ML's Father

CHAPTER 14

The moment the father and son duo started bickering at each other, was the most embarrassing part of my life. It given me the urge to quickly leave the banquet hall, but..

Suddenly people flocked around me. I could see the reason without thinking about it.

It must be because of the interest that the Lord and Devarus showed earlier.

I was densely surrounded by people that there was no time to breathe. I'm just a kid, but people who were distracted blocked the area, so my chin and jaw were clogged.

'People! I need space!'

I tried to respond to all their questions. However, the only question that was difficult to answer was,

"Well, which noble house does the young lady belong?"

"Ah, I am..."

"What is your relationship with the young Lord? Oh, please pardon for the trouble~"

The eyes of those Ladies who covered their mouths with their fancy fans and laughed were bitter. I could feel their predatory gazes from head to my toes.

It was a scary feeling.

As I was staring at them, I sighed. Then I replied with a rather cold voice.

"I have made a marriage vow. Are you satisfied?"

"Pledge? Haha, kids are progressing so fast these days?"

Someone else laughed at my words.

Suddenly, a shadow falls over my head. At last, the Lord appeared. Those who surrounded me hesitated to say their goodbyes with his appearance but eventually walked away.

He stepped through the crowd and hugged me. As soon as he lifted my body, my breath was become stiff.

"Are you okay?"

He asked in a gentle voice. I nodded hard looking at him.

"Yes! It's okay."

'Still alive and kicking'

"okay. If your tired, tell me anytime."

"okay!"

"And even when you're tired of my son"

"oka.... huh?"

It was about the time when I tilted my head at his unexpected words. As if I was asking what he was asking,

"Then will I adopt you as my adopted daughter?"

His face was a little irritated. It seemed that he had yet to give up his adoption.

But I couldn't openly say I didn't like it, so I just nodded.

"okay!"

The problem was that Devarus was watching us like a hawk.

This is a tiring day. I wonder if its still a welcoming ceremony or became an Engagement Ceremony.

*sigh*

I returned to the bedroom with a weak body. I even immersed myself in the bathtub that Jian provided.

'If I lie down now, I will fall asleep immediately.'

If I'm this tired, maybe I won't have nightmares tonight.

When I arrive to our room, the lights were already open. I came in and saw Devarus, but somehow, He didn't greet me like the usual.

As I went beside my bed, he spoke in a shaky voice.

"Is Lily accepting that old man's offer?"

"What?"
