"Apologise my ignorance. I did not know that as you have never called me darling in my whole life ever!"
"........'' George's face turned red from embarrassment when everyone stopped talking and started looking at him. He wanted to be the centre of attention but in the negative way, he was gaining attention, he was not sure if he would be able to cover up again and again and all because of her uncensored mouth and calloused words!
"Why? You are my daughter! Of course, i will call you with sweet words, so what if i changed honey to darling. It is still for you." he looked meaningfully into her eyes as if telling her not to go overboard and to not dare to cut me this time.
But Hazel would be a fool if she once again got pushed by them. They had taken advantage of her whole life and now that she was free from their claws, they wanted to take advantage of her again.
Ha!
