Chapter 47: His Father

Their mansion doesn't disappoint. I was almost gaping when I saw the interior, seeing the combination of gold and white. Everything, even the floor we're walking on, looked so expensive.

As I walked inside, I felt so small. I felt like I didn't belong here.

"Why are we h-here?" I stuttered as I asked him, which made him stop walking and turn to me.

He was holding my hand, but he was walking ahead of me, while the maids we passed by greeted him when they met us.

"Why are you sweating so much?" he asked, wiping the sweat on my forehead with the back of his hand. "Don't worry, I wouldn't bring you to my room if that's what you're nervous about. I just want to comfort you by going to our gym. That's all."

His hand moved to my forehead before he lightly patted it. "I won't do anything bad to you."

I don't trust him with that, but his words scream sincerity. I just nodded before we continued walking. This is extremely dangerous, yet I'm still here.

My heart was pounding as I just stared at his back while we walked. It was just a simple gesture, but it had already melted my heart.

A few seconds later, we reached the gym.

"Exercising releases stress," Ash said as he opened the door.

But before we could go inside, someone approached us from the inside.

He was wearing a white t-shirt and gray shorts. His muscles were already visible through his clothes. He may look old, but it seems like he was strong and healthy.

And this guy... was on the right side of the photo I saw from the storage.

I realized why this place was already familiar to me from the start-Because this is where that photo was taken.

"This is the first time you brought a girl here to our house. Aren't you going to introduce her to me?" the man said, smiling.

"Dad, I didn't know you were here." Ash smiled, making a fist bump. "You won't mind, right?"
