"Then you must also know that I have a bad temper too, and if whatever you are saying is just a way of making me spare you, then give up. Because if you ever prevent me from seeing my parents, I will not stop punching you," Ariana said, her gaze hardening.
Her intention was not to make a joke out of it. She actually wanted Lucian to remember what he said so that the next time he considers stopping her, he will be reminded of it.
Lucian's smile vanished and he slowly adjusted to sit comfortably next to her," I wasn't stopping your from meeting your parents. I just wanted to be the one taking you to meet them"
Lucian might have opposed her, but his real motive was to be the one guiding her to her parents place. Unfortunately, Alaric offered to take her, so his wish was denied.
"So you were not trying to control me?" Ariana asked, her eyes softening a little.
"You think I can control you?" Lucian snorted, making her roll her eyes on him.
