Chapter 932: How Far Are You Willing to Go for My Daughter

Tina froze, startled.

Was Uncle so eager to marry her?

Ruud was adamant. "Absolutely not! Marriage is a serious matter. You say two months is enough, but how do I know this isn't just a trick to lure my daughter away?"

Jared stayed silent, his expression unreadable.

Tensions were high. Alina knew that siding with either of them would only make things worse. Warren had to step in, attempting to mediate. "Tina, it's up to you. If you agree, no one else's opinion matters."

Tina's response was calm and collected. "I don't care about the timing. As long as I can be with Uncle, that's enough."

Ruud nearly exploded with frustration.

Daughter, I'm doing this for you! We've only just been reunited as a family. How can you talk about marriage so casually?

But he knew if he pushed any further, the fragile bond he'd just rebuilt with his daughter could shatter in an instant. Still, the thought of handing his daughter over was unbearable.

"No. I'll think about it," he finally said.

Tina rolled her eyes, exasperated.

Her marriage was her decision-what did his objections have to do with it?

Jared smirked. "If you're still worried, Father, I can follow your example. I'll change my surname and move into the Pace family permanently."

The room fell silent. Everyone was stunned. Even Warren, seated at the head of the table, looked visibly uncomfortable.

It wasn't shock-it was embarrassment.
