âI already witnessed it myself, and I didnât want to pretend like I didnât know. If I let her be, she will see those two again. Like how she cared for that woman in the harem, sheâll start caring for those two.â
It was apparent even if he didnât see it.
âBecause sheâs different from me.â
Thatâs why he didnât like this. He didnât want her to do that, and he didnât want them to see Ria.
âI think I clearly told you not to meet them.â
However, what devastated him more than that was that his daughter seemed to take his warning very lightly.
âItâs not like I was trying to meet himâ¦â
âI didnât ask you to make excuses.â
He turned his eyes to the nanny, who was guarding the child. This wasnât why he had a nanny raise her. As he stared at her with cold eyes, Serira backed off with a pale face.
âI have the right to be angry.â
âI should be angry at the nanny who failed to take care of my child properly.â
However, Ria didnât understand it. That made him even angrier.
Right. Itâs not like he wanted her to understand. But⦠this child kept talking back at him. Perhaps she thought this wasnât a big deal. The same went for her nanny.
Then he had no choice.
He had to lock her up until those two disappeared.
âWhat? Are you saying youâre going to imprison me?â
Why was she frowning like that?
The child was rather angry with a crumpled expression as if she heard something she couldnât understand. He was also starting to get mad at her arrogant attitude.
âAt this point, there is a limit on how much I could tolerate her arrogant attitude. Who does she think I am? Does she realize how lenient I am right now?â
âWhen did she grow up to be so rude and impudent? Is she really the same child that used to listen to me before?â
It was annoying.
He didnât know if itâs normal to feel like this with a child⦠but he wanted to yell at her to be quiet.
âI hate you, dad! Iâm never going to see you again!â
He knew this was not an easy problem to solve, but when he saw the child turn and run away from him, his last string of rationality broke.
âHow dare she flee from me?â
