Alfie Winslow was taken aback, his face flushing. He was uncomfortable with the realization that he had a son-in-law like Dylan Collins.
So for a while, he was unable to speak.
But hearing him say this, a warmth crept into his heart.
"CEO Collins..."
"You can simply call me Dylan."
Alfie Winslow's eyes reddened slightly. He raised his head to look at him, finally managing a small smile.
"Ah, Dylan... I have my own difficulties. In short, it's not appropriate for Hallie to continue being in the limelight. I did this for her own good. She's as stubborn as Bart Quirke. I can't persuade her, but I can see that she listens to you the most. Can you help me persuade her?"
