Chapter 553: Chapter 553

"Um… well… as far as to be concerned… it is difficult to say…"

"… Is it because you don't trust him or is it because of what will come out of this?" — Dad this time asked, making it so I could find a proper answer. Even asking in a manner that would test my confidence. — "Is it because you are worried about her or is it that you already have a gist of what happened?"

"…"

"You should have a notion to these answers, sweetie. Tell me."

As if giving in to my wide-eyed reaction, Dad softened his sound. Reminding me that it was not hoping to reproach me but to help my thoughts find a reasonable track unlike that one the heart could lead.

Yet even as I knew, it was not as easy to grasp the correct words to express myself.

"… I trust him… and I am not worried about her either." — I eventually managed to say, convinced even if doubts were swirling around in my head trying to test my confidence.
