Cedric nodded thoughtfully, his expression unreadable as he processed Mila's words. "I see," he murmured, his gaze lingering on his daughter for a moment longer.
"That's good to hear. You only got to attend one event, and you already made friends. I'm proud of you, Evie," Cedric Ventor stated with a hint of pride in his voice, though there was a hint of something else lurking beneath the surface. Mila couldn't quite decipher the true meaning behind her father's words, but she nodded politely nonetheless, offering him a grateful smile.
"Thank you, Father," she replied earnestly, her tone sincere. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to expand my social circle and make new acquaintances."
