Chapter 116 A Promise From Him
I was in a state of utter confusion.
I had agreed to put on an act with Dominic because I knew Dad and Mom would make some assumptions about us. Now, however, it seemed like they were practically jumping to all sorts of conclusions about us.
They not only thought that we had a physical relationship, they even assumed that we were already living together.
Most importantly, Dad was not angry about it at all.
Good heavens, when did my parents become so liberal? Are they just especially benevolent toward Dominic? ”Dad…”
Dad waved his hand dismissively and cut me off. “Lili, Dad used to be strict with you because you were still young. You’re older now and have even been married once. You know what’s right and what’s wrong. You know what’s best for yourself.”
I was moved by Dad’s words. He was not the kind of father who said “I love you” to his children, but I knew he was strict toward me because he loved me.
Dad stood up from his seat and walked toward us. He stood between Dominic and me and held our hands. Putting my hand in Dominic’s, he said, “Dom and you have missed a chance with each other in the past. Your mom and I are rooting for you to have a happier outcome this time around. Dom, I’m entrusting my daughter to you. Please treat her well.”
Dominic looked at my father and nodded. Then he turned to me, looking rather serious.
I felt him squeezing my hand as he said, “Rest assured, David. I promise you I will take good care of Lian for the rest of our lives.”
“Very well, Dom. I trust you.” Dad was looking completely satisfied.
I looked at Dominic with a mix of confusion and annoyance. What audacity he had to make such a promise in front of my parents.
We were only supposed to be putting on an act. After what he just said, how were we going to explain things to my parents when the time came to cut our act?
All of a sudden, I began to feel afraid. Things seemed to be progressing much faster than I had expected.
