Chapter 693
Russell brought Louis into the study room. After they took their seats in front of the table, he asked the maid to bring them the tea.
Louis scanned around the study room. The study room had a rather simplistic and classic decoration. All of the books displayed on the shelves ranged from classical to modern titles. It seemed to him that the Hills were indeed worthy of being a scholarly family i n Bassburgh.
After the maid served the tea, Louis stopped Russell when he was going to pour him the tea. He said, “Let me do it, Mr. Hill.”
Russell chuckled and replied, “It’s okay.”
After pouring the tea, he sighed. “I’m sorry for what happened today.”
Holding the cup of tea in his hand, Louis said, “You were tough on Ryleigh, but I know that you never hit her hard no matter how angry you were with her.”
Russell let out a bitter smile. It was true that he had beaten Ryleigh a lot of times, but he never beat her hard. After all, she was his only daughter, and he doted on her a lot.
He sighed. “It’s true that I didn’t dare to beat or scold her too hard in the past, but she has been so rebellious since she graduated that I can’t stop worrying about
her. I’m worried that she might go down the wrong path and get in trouble. I’m sure that you know she has a fiery temper, and when it’s time for her to get married…”
Ryleigh was pressing herself against the door to eavesdrop on the conversation between Louis and her father. Then, she heard the word “get married.” Just when she was about to enter the study room to end the conversation, even if her father was going to beat the hell out of her, Louis’ voice rang out.
He said, “I’m not trying to stick my nose into your family affairs, Mr. Hill, but in my opinion, you don’t have to worry about that. Even if I get married to Ryleigh in the future, I can accept her for who she is.”
