“Of course! This place is off-limits. My Dad and Levant have repeatedly warned me not to come here. Otherwise, they’ll lock me up with you.”
After sizing up Stephen, the girl sighed, “I wouldn’t complain about being stuck here with you if you’re ten years younger. Too bad… ”
“Are you saying that I’m old?” asked Stephen after checking himself out.
“Come on. You’re as old as my Dad.”
Stephen lowered his head and chuckled, “That’s true, I guess. You’re not much older than my daughter. I’d consider myself blessed if I were to have a daughter like you.”
“Excuse me? You’re treating me like I’m your daughter now? Please don’t. Besides, I think we’re a pretty good match, and I don’t mind that you’re a little older.”
Meanwhile, Evan who was hiding in the room was as shocked as Stephen to hear those words.
He had initially thought that his father-in-law was getting tortured in the Wicked Palace, but he never expected the man to have such luck there. I wonder how Nicole is going to feel about this if she ever finds out.
“I know that you’re an open-minded and cheerful person, but you shouldn’t joke about that.”
“I’m not joking, I mean what I said. Let’s just forget about our age and run away together. What do you say?”
Stephen gazed at the spontaneous girl with the bold but terrifying idea. “You didn’t come here just to talk about this, did you?”
“No. I want to know why my Dad hates you so much. He wants nothing more than to send you to hell, and I need to know why.”
Stephen would rather not bring up the past as there were more important things to do at hand.
“You really want to know?”
“Yes.” Avril nodded vigorously.
