Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Father and Son

After they arrive residence Elizabeth could feel that her father was struggling inside to converse with her. She reckoned what it was but paused till he was prepared.

They had a meal together and just Elizabeth was leaving towards her room. Harris could not hold up his anxiety and finally spoke.

"Elizabeth just come to study for a while"

"okay" She replied.

Harris reached the study and following him Elizabeth closed the door behind.

"Sit"

Elizabeth got seated.

"Listen whatever I am going to say is adequate for your future. You know I will never be irrational to you." Harris said seriously.

"I know dad what happened is something bothering you?"

Harris yet did not dare to speak directly he was somewhere skeptical so he indirectly replied,

"You know it will be a banquet in a few days, just be prepared your grandfather is going to disclose an important matter considering your life. Reckoned about it thoroughly before responding if you do not like the arrangement we will not force you and cherish your judgment. Whatever your thoughts are we will acknowledge it after you evaluate it carefully just do not reply at an abrupt moment of emotion. okay!" Saying this he looked at his daughter carefully.

Elizabeth sigh inwardly she knows what was going to be publicized at the banquet and also knows his dad was afraid she would be uneasy or may take an unfair judgment for herself. Therefore she simply smiled and replied calmly "Don't worry dad I know what you and grandpa had decided must be through consideration. I promise I will not act hastily and follow your guidance and will reckon it through. Rest assured!"

Her reply made Harris amused but he was finally not anxious he was rested assured that Elizabeth was free from that evil mysticism and will not be tricked by anyone and soothed.

"Okay, I believe you now have a good rest"

Listening to this Elizabeth got out of the study and move back to her room. She assumed how will she compelled Lucy to make a joke of herself tomorrow if she dares to play any tricks and sleep soundly.

On the study after Elizabeth left Harris called his father.

"Did you speak to her?" the first thing Oliver inquired of was about her granddaughter he also desired best for her and know she was off from time but he hopes she will not make abrupt judgments.

"Yes, dad I had indirectly advised her as if we notify her now it will be too surprising for her. I have already told her to assemble herself though. Let's just wait." Saying this Harris let out a sigh.

Harris knows how much his dad dotes on Elizabeth as she was the only girl born so far in their generation. His parents wish if instead of him a daughter could be born.

For that, they even had adopted a child girl when they found it is difficult for his mother to conceive under some circumstances.

Later the little sister Sally was spoiled by them to great extent but she got betrayed after marriage also divorced later and never thought of marriage again it was really sad. Even though she later accepted his family as hers' and now a great CEO of her own company. She did not ask for help from them.

Oliver Smith, said "you know your mother was joyous when Elizabeth was born she was on cloud nine that finally she got a granddaughter, it was sad that Elizabeth lost her mother early. We also advised you that it would be better if you got married again or gave her to us. But that time you blatantly declined and said that stepmother cannot give her sufficient love and it would be too problematic. See without anyone guidance she was being easily manipulated I already warn you to be careful or I will take her away."

"Yes, dad I see I will be sure nothing happens to Elizabeth. That's all I will hang up now" saying this he sighed helplessly.

Harris was speechless on her father's words yeah he knows Elizabeth always missed her mother but he does everything to fulfill her part too. He knows Elizabeth misses her mother but never said. But this mere reason cannot make anyone take her daughter away from him she was his little princess. He will protect her from everyone who bore evil intentions towards her. Even though he becomes a bad father in her eyes.

Both Father and son have a favorable viewpoint for Elizabeth in their mind. They could not bear if she bears any skirmish.
