Chapitre 32: How to Fake a Father-and-Daughter Bonding

The dining table in the morning was suddenly filled with thunderstruck silence after the shocking announcement.

'I'm grounded because I'm closer to my grandparents and cousin than I am to him?!'

'Isn't that for kids who'd done naughty things…?' she pondered with a raised brow, regarding her father quietly from the other side of the dining table. 

'So, is he saying that being close to our relatives is a naughty thing?'

It's true that Lady has been spending too much time with Benedict and Penelope.
