The Runaway Groom

Chapter 1026

Before James could speak further, Mick added, "Erin's my daughter. Everything that is mine is hers, and it's not like I can take these to my grave anyway. Don't turn me down now —if you feel like you owe me, just treasure Erin. I won't play around if you ever bully her."

James did not get uncomfortable because of Mick's words. Instead, he said somberly, "Don't worry."

Mick patted him on the shoulder. "You have to take care of yourself too."

He certainly did not want James' injuries to get permanent, or Erin would have to live with a disabled person for the rest of her life.

His fatherly affection left Erin's tears welling in her eyes, and she leaned against his arm. "Dad, you should come with us to Franconia!"
