Zachary said, "That's right. You'd envy me for having a daughter while you don't."
Isaac chuckled. "For now. Who knows what happens when she gets older? On the other hand, my sons would still be mine."
Zachary was speechless.
What was that supposed to mean? That his daughter would not be his once she became an adult?
Hilarious! His Jean would always be his! How would she not be his daughter once she got older?
And yet, something suddenly occurred to him and he understood what Isaac meant and was left frowning!
"Isaac!" he cried, chasing after him. "Y-You'd better watch your sons! Tell them to stay away from my daughter!"
Irene gave Baby a pointed look and chuckled. "That's why you shouldn't get too smug or you'd lose your daughter."
Zachary was speechless.
The thought that the daughter, with whom he would raise carefully, would grow up to be someone else's girlfriend or wife left him utterly frustrated.
Isaac's words were especially infuriating.
What was that supposed to mean, his?!
Jean would never fall for the likes of Isaac's sons! And no one was taking Jean away from Zachary!
"Dream on." Zachary snorted coldly.
Isaac was not bothered to argue with Zachary—how long had it only been, but he was already an overprotective father?!
"Then raise her until she's as old as seventy," Isaac said.
Zachary was left speechless again.
No way!
His darling Jean would marry someone young and successful in the future and certainly not end up a spinster!
Come to think of it, letting her marry one of Isaac's sons made sense.
Isaac was rich, and neither him nor Irene were ugly.
