Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 925

Chapter 925 Where Are Her Principles

This sounds so childish for some reason… Looking at the man’s shiny bald head, Danny eventually nodded in obedience, saying, “Don’t worry, sir. I’ll make Ariel happy.” “Uh-huh.” Camren stroked his bald head in a leisurely and carefree manner. Then, he asked, “I hear you started your own business in Cittadel?”

“Yes, I have.” Danny proudly raised his head and puffed out his chest; in an instant, he found an opportunity to prove his worth. “Our company is about to go public—”

“Just close it down if it’s not going public yet,” Camren said obstinately without giving him a chance to finish his speech. “Come and work at one of the companies owned by the Abbott Enterprise to get familiar with it in advance.

Ariel’s gonna have to come back and help with such a big family business sooner or later. Who’s gonna do the work if not you? She?” For a moment, Danny was at a loss for a reply; he didn’t want to live off a woman. “Uh, well—”

Seeing the situation, Ariel immediately intervened, saying, “Danny’s company is the result of both his efforts and mine, so we both hope to achieve something with it. You just agreed not to intrude into our lives. If you want to overstep the boundaries, I think we’d better go back to being not on speaking terms as before. I’m already used to living without a father, anyway.”

Camren’s countenance changed at her words. Then, he exhaled deeply, saying, “Look at you; you’re siding with him even before you get married to him. Wasn’t it for your sake that I said those things? I won’t interfere in your life if you don’t like it, but you don’t have to say things like us being not on speaking terms. Do you really want to blame me all your life like your mother?”

Ariel replied, “It’s not my place as a daughter to comment on what sort of relationship you want to maintain with Mom. What I care about is how you treat me as your daughter. If you really love me, you’ll know what is good for me.” She remained rational as usual, though it made her seem rather devoid of human feeling.

Camren shook his head in resignation. “You really are just like your mother. Well, forget it then. I’ll let you do as you please,” he said. Then, he switched the conversation to another subject, suggesting, “Anyway, now that you both are in Wegas, why don’t you stay here at home? That way, I won’t have to go back and forth between two places to see you.”

Ariel flatly refused to do him the favor, though. “Have you ever seen anyone who stays in her parents’ home all day after getting married?” she argued. “And besides, our friends are still waiting for us at the hotel. You want us to go back on our word?”

“I can’t do this; I can’t do that… Am I still like a father to you?!” Camren burst into a tantrum like a child.

Faced with such cringy awkwardness, Danny couldn’t help but be reminded of how Jessie had made a scene while clinging to Ariel’s thigh. So, there’s a reason Jessie is so effeminate! I guess this is what they call ‘an apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.’ Still, Camren was his father-in-law, after all. Not daring to laugh in his face, he only curled his lips into a furtive smile.

“I’ll give you a phone call every day. That’s the most I can promise you,” Ariel said impassively.

“Okay,” Camren instantly agreed as if fearing that she might go back on it. Stroking his head again in excitement, he said, “You said that yourself. I didn’t force you into it, so you’ve got to keep your promise!”

“Yeah, I’ll do as I promised you,” Ariel replied with an affectionate drawl.

It was said that people tended to behave like children as they aged; once reaching a certain age, elderly people often became as unpredictable and capricious as children instead. In reality, they were just craving attention; even the slightest bit of attention from whoever was willing to give it would brighten them up.

Camren smiled from ear to ear with joy written all over his face. “Alright, it’s fine as long as you keep your promise. Just go on with whatever you’re doing and call me whenever you need anything!”

“Goodbye, Dad,” Ariel replied. With that, she quickly dragged Danny out of the house before Camren realized what she had just said. Shortly after the couple had left, Jessie came in and inclined his upper body respectfully. “Sir.”
