"I know. And I am grateful to your father," Aldrich said as he stood in front of Briony with the coffee table in between them. His hands were tucked in his pocket as he watched the smile on Briony's lips and eyes.
"He may be strict but his heart is in the right place," Briony said. At some point, she was pissed at her father but she understands that her father wouldn't do what he did if he knew that it would harm the people involved.
"I know and I understand," Aldrich said, then he walked around the coffee table and sat on the same couch where Briony was sitting. Though he kept a good distance from her.
Aldrich leaned forward and placed his elbows on his knees. "She asked about you," He said and then he turned his head to look at Briony.
"She did?" Briony looked like she was about to cry but Aldrich knew that she wouldn't. He had known her enough to know that she is a strong woman.
