"I stood here because I and my wife would like to ask for your permission," Jacob said, glancing at his wife who is now sitting beside him, and then he looked up at the council members.
"Not just as a council member…but also as a father," Jacob continued. The moment he said that, Nora who was standing on the other side of him instantly tensed. More or less, she already knew what her father was going to say and she didn't know what to feel about it.
It was so unexpected.
"I am sure you have heard that my daughter, Nora, is in a relationship with a man…" Jacob's voice trailed off because he cannot bring himself to voice out the name. He feels like if he did, he would be betraying himself.
Nora resisted rolling her eyes at her father's antics. "Damien Roald, dad," She said
"Yes…the man has a name, apparently," Jacob said as if it was the most unfortunate thing.
