When Duke saw that Xavier was finally talking to him, he straightened his posture and looked at the man despite the fear that was engulfing him.
"Yes, sir, I will not let her down!" he solemnly vowed.
Although Xavier scared him and made him feel very tiny and tremble with every glare or glance, he still didn't want Xavier to undermine his love for Darica.
Xavier who was frosty a second ago, suddenly warmed up like the sun, stunning Duke, who was still trying to cope with the other a second ago.
He looked at Darica and found the other just sitting there with a calm gaze and a small smile hung on her lips.
From the way he was seeing, it seemed that Darica knew somehow that would happen, which was why she was relaxed.
"Dad, it's enough. Stop scaring him!"
"Fine, fine, fine. I will stop here!" Xavier under Darica's order, finally acquiesced.
Darica seeing that Xavier was no longer being playful, looked at Duke with smiling eyes.
