Chapter 106 He’s My Lover (2)
Haley’s father wasn’t satisfied with just that, so he kept shouting, “Do you need to keep embarrassing me like this? There’s so many things that you could have done and you came here to the middle of nowhere to open this store.”
At this point, it was no longer about her husband, but rather about her life choices.
It seemed like the disagreement between them wasn’t just because of her husband. It seemed like there were some previous grievances that her father had with her that were coming out now…
In the end though, I couldn’t keep watching, so I went forward.
I walked over to them and when I came up in front of Haley, her husband and her father couldn’t help being surprised by my sudden appearance.
I ignored them and turned to Haley to say, “Miss Haley, I’m here to follow up on the deal that we made yesterday.”
But even though I said this, Haley was also looking at me in a daze.
She didn’t know what I was doing, cutting into the middle of this, but there was a trace of gratitude that was in her eyes. She had been overwhelmed by her father and there was nothing that she could say.
She knew that it would have developed into something much more serious if it hadn’t been stopped like this.
After all, she had lived with her father for many years, so she knew what kind of temper that man had.
After coming back to his senses, Haley’s father narrowed his eyes to look at me as he asked, “Who are you?”
I looked right back at him and said, “I’m a customer here to do business with this store. If there’s nothing that you want, can you please leave us be?”
Haley’s father couldn’t help being taken aback when he heard this.
He had thought that he would be able to intimidate this young boy with his pressure, but he found that this young boy wasn’t scared of him at all. Rather, this young boy faced his pressure and talked back to him.
Though he should be angry because of this, there was a small part that respected him.
For him to have this kind of mental fortitude at his age…he definitely wasn’t simple.
There was even the small desire to hire this young man since he knew that his company needed more people like him.
But right now, there were more important things to do.
Such as taking care of his daughter.
In the end though, it wasn’t Haley’s father who spoke, but rather her husband.
When I appeared, as soon as the husband recovered from his surprise, he looked at me with narrowed eyes. It was as if he had recognized me, but at the same time, he was trying to remember where he had met me before.
After this conversation between me and Haley’s father, he suddenly pointed at me and said, “It’s you! From the night before last!”
Haley’s father turned to look at her husband with a confused look as he asked, “Alex, what do you mean? Who is he?”
The husband’s face twisted as he remembered what had happened between us and he pointed his finger at me before saying, “He’s the one that she’s running around with! He was the one that got in between our couple’s conversation and then forcefully took Haley away!”
When Haley’s father heard this, he narrowed his eyes to look at me before saying, “Is this true? Are you the one who forced my daughter to follow you?”
There were two different forms of anger that I could see in his eyes.
There was anger for Haley’s husband, which was normal. But there was also a stronger anger that was different. This anger was from the fact that I was the man who supposedly forced his daughter to follow him.
Even if he was angry with his daughter and disappointed with her choices, she was his daughter after all and he did want to protect her.
He had thought that she would be safe with her friend’s son, but now there was the chance that she was being tricked by some gigolo?𝓝𝑂𝓋𝗲𝓁𝗇𝑬xt.𝓬𝒐𝕞
He couldn’t accept this!
I just calmly faced this glare and said, “I didn’t force your daughter to follow me. Do you really know what kind of things your son in law has been doing?”
Haley’s father narrowed his eyes to look at me even more before turning slightly to look at Haley’s husband. But then he said, “Stop speaking nonsense. I know that these two are a fine couple since I was the one that had set them up in the first place. Don’t think that anything that you say can convince me otherwise.”
I gave a sigh and shook my head when I heard this.
It seemed like it really would be hard to convince Haley’s father with words. That was just the bond that he had with Haley’s husband who he had introduced to her, whereas I was just some random person that had appeared out of nowhere.
After taking a breath to calm down, Haley’s father came closer and said in a low and threatening voice, “I don’t know what you’ve done to trick my daughter, but I advise you to stop approaching her. You should know what kind of powerful man I am if you’ve had your eyes on my daughter, so know that I can use that power to crush you and your entire family. If you know what’s good for you, you will stop talking to her.”
Hearing this, Haley’s husband couldn’t help revealing a secret sly smile.
At the same time, the look on his face made it clear that he was looking for some way to utilize this to get his revenge on me.
I couldn’t help shaking my head with another sigh after hearing this.
But in the end, I wasn’t able to say a thing as Haley suddenly came forward. She grabbed my arm and said, “Dad, you can’t say things like that to him.”
Haley’s father slightly knitted his brows as he asked, “Why?”
“Because he’s my lover.”
