Lucy glanced at the man across from her and all that was left was her asking the gods why she had to end up with him as a father. Weren't there billions of men in the world? Why did it have to be one who didn't understand her even when she was already in her forties? What irked her the most was not the fact that he was doing his best to keep her away from her happiness, but that he was only doing it as a display of power.
She crossed her arms. "I have loved him for long enough. You don't expect me to stop loving him just because you said I should, do you?"
He took a small sip of his drink. "You are stubborn, dear. Don't forget…"
"Don't mention the past." She glowered at him as she interrupted whatever he was going to say. Nothing good ever came out of him mentioning the past.
