However, when Elios looked at Mischa, he realized that, even though the man was not his flesh and blood, Elios really considered him a son.
To him, Mischa was not an outsider.
He was family. Always have and always will.
Elios was grateful that Mischa and Vega didn't grow up together so they didn't have any familiar feeling as they would to their siblings, because, after living for a long time in this world and met many people, Elios thought it would be so hard for him to give his daughter away to any man. Especially after what happened to her.
At least, if the man was someone he liked and could trust, maybe Elios could finally step back with ease and let Vega go and be happy.
Elios remembered how aggressive Aleksis, his wife, was when she was pursuing him in the past. He could really see Vega do the same thing, aggressively chasing after a man she loved and didn't want to listen to her parents, and that made him feel worried.
