Does he want to give me something? Judging by the fierce look on his face, I bet it’s nothing good! He confronted me at my place the day Crystal had a miscarriage from falling down the stairs, and I still remember the look on his face… I could tell he was wishing he never had me for a daughter, and he wouldn’t have left if Christopher weren’t around at the time. I’m not sure what his intentions are, but he’s definitely up to no good!
With that in mind, I simply sat there and stared silently at Nathan.
“What, you don’t even recognize your dad now that you’ve found yourself a rich husband?” Nathan asked sarcastically.
I glanced at Julia and Gordon who were sitting next to me and decided it wouldn’t be appropriate to argue with him. I then stood up and was about to go with him when Christopher got up and said, “We’ll go together.”
“Mr. Lane, I know you and Yvonne have a very strong relationship and all, but I would like to have a private conversation with my daughter. I don’t think it would be appropriate for you to join us.”
“Of course, I wouldn’t mind if it really is just a private conversation. But…” Christopher left his sentence hanging, but the smile on his face said it all.
“What, you think I’d harm my own daughter?”
Noticing that Nathan was getting angry as the gentle smile on his face had faded, I quickly shook my head and told Christopher, “Don’t worry, I won’t be gone for long!”
I had prepared myself mentally for Nathan to hit me, but he simply gave me a conflicted look after bringing me to a quiet corner. There was a hint of melancholy in his eyes, and it took me a while before I realized he was missing Amelia.
Although my appearance was average, I was definitely quite the beauty after dolling myself up. Could it be that I look a little bit like Mom?
