Rain felt her pulse quicken as she and Alexander stepped into the mansion, knowing her father was waiting. Just as they neared the entrance, Alexander received a call from William, informing him that Tim had arrived with Sylvia and Dina, all asking to speak with her.
Alexander turned to her, his expression thoughtful. "What do you want to do? If you don't want to see them, we can turn around."
Rain felt a pang of tension but knew she couldn't avoid this. "I want to see my father," she replied. She wasn't sure what he wanted this time, but she was determined to face it.
Alexander gently squeezed her hand, and when she turned to him, he offered a soft, reassuring smile. She smiled back. "I'm fine."
As they entered the living area, her father, Sylvia, and Dina were seated, waiting. Rock, noticing their arrival, nodded to Alexander. "Come on, son. Let's give them some privacy," he said with a firm but kind tone.
