When Lillie came back home from the company, she was quite surprised to see her father.
"Father, what brings you here?"
"It's about you and Ethan." He started. Lillie sat beside him at the sofa so that she can listen carefully.
His father had a sad expression, his hands gently grasped hers and caressed them. "My darling daughter, you know how much I don't approve of you marrying but, whether I like it or not, you will need have a family of your own soon."
"I have to remind myself countless times that you're no longer that little girl who would want to have her father carry her all the time and would always call him daddy." Lillie's eyebrows furrowed by this.
"But, you know how powerless I am towards your mother and grandmother. The only ally I have was your grandfather but, your grandmother held him on a leash."
Lillie sighed, this father of hers was being emotional than a teenage girl breaking up with her first boyfriend. She had few guesses of what he wanted to say.
