Judas kiss novel Chapter 19

"I know you're not fond of me—" Andre was immediately cut of.

"You are right, I could never be fond of a man who broke my daughter in every way possible..." Garreth added before Andre had even said his whole sentence.

"And I'm here to correct my wrongs and be the man she deserves."

"You will never be the man my daughter deserves!"

Andre knew this was true and quite frankly it made him very upset. "That won't stop me either from claiming your daughter as my wife. You weren't there when I married her your opinion isn't relevant to me."

Garreth was shook, he couldn't believe that this— had the audacity to insult him. No one had ever treated him the way Andre had and he wasn't going to tolerate it.

"Oh, you know damn well that if I was there you wouldn't have married my daughter or laid a finger on her." Garreth scoffed at the thought, that he had just walked in on them doing whatever they were doing he was so disgusted.

"Well it's a little too late for that.." Andre paused for a second. "Look I'm not trying to argue with you or anything of that sort, infact I would love if we can be civil with each other." Andre said clearing his throat. He didn't want to have meaningless argument with his father in law. Andre knew Garreth would be around in Della's life for a long time and he wouldn't want them to have bad blood with each other. Della had always wanted a father and now that he was present... she surely wouldn't let him go.

"Yes, we should be civil with each other. I don't know if Della has told you but Leith is actually her boyfriend and she is trying to move on." He mustered a poker face when he saw how hurt Andre looked.

"No, it can't be." He chuckled.

"They have been on a couple of dates, she wouldn't tell you that obviously." Garreth snickered mischievously.

"Why are you so concerned with what we do?" Andre asked curiously.

"This is about my daughter and only about my daughter— I won't allow anyone to ever hurt her." Garreth said giving him a death glare.

"I'm trying to make things right!"

"No buddy, just move on with your life." Garreth replied.

"Della is my life, I'm not moving on without her!" Andre replied aggressively.

"I have warned you, I will not be held responsible for anything that happens from here onward." Garreth replied nonchalantly.

"Mr. McCarthy is that a threat?" Andre convulsed seemingly amused.

"Take it however you see it." with that he turned away. "Oh and I will be sure to tell Della that you said good bye, I wouldn't want you coming in to disturb the love birds. Good Day Mr. Levetté." Garreth said arrogantly shutting the door in Andre's face.

"Uhm—" Andre raised his hand then he sighed and turned to walk away. He didn't realise there was someone listening in on their conversation. The door was slightly open and he couldn't really see who it was—

"Hey, I'm sorry if we were too loud.." Andre said politely. He knew people might have overheard after all, they were arguing in the hallway.

"It's alright, young man." The old man finally came into view, he had wrinkles and looked round about his eighties.

"My apologies." Andre sighed grabbing his keys from the back pocket. This apartment building wasn't in its best condition on the outside but at least it was nicer in the inside.

"You seem troubled son." He opened the door gesturing for Andre to come in.

"Uh, I must apologize, I really have to be leaving—" He said in a hurry, Andre didn't want to seem rude but he couldn't stand being here any longer not if he wasn't with her.
