Charles and Haines sat in the study room, just as they always did, sharing a glass of whiskey while talking about anything and everything.
Charles sighed. "It's almost nighttime, and Penny hasn't come home."
"Haha." Haines couldn't help but laugh. "She's old enough to marry…"
"Never!" Charles harrumphed, glaring daggers at Haines. "Haines, I entrusted my daughter to you. In my eyes, she's still my little princess, and she just returned. How can I let her marry into another man's family?"
"All I'm saying is, get used to it. Your daughter has been grinding her whole life. That's why she became the woman she is now," Haines clarified. "She's an adult, so get used to it."
