Chapter 72
âTay is much too thin. Her complexion has grown much healthier thanks to your care, Daisy.â
Gordon would never have done these things in the past.
Dad and Mom were surprised at how attentive he was, and they couldnât help exchanging glances.
âTay has always been picky with her food. There are so many things she doesnât like eating. Itâs fortunate that I know what she likes, so I simply cook the things that she enjoys eating. Gordon, Iâm not sure if the food I cook is to your taste, but come back more often if you like it. Iâll cook for the both of you,â Mom said, smiling.
âOf course the food you cook is delicious, Daisy! Youâre just as good as a Michelin chef! Iâll bring Tay back frequently in the future for meals together,â Gordon said with a smile.
His implication startled me.
I said hurriedly, âWell, I donât need you to bring me here, either. I live here now.â
Unexpectedly, he simply gave a light smile..
âWeâre already married. It isnât good for you to keep living at your parentsâ house and disrupting their lives. Charles, Daisy, Iâd like to take Tay home today. Weâve been apart for so long that I kind of miss her.â
What?
He⦠missed me?
Did he want to take me home?
What was Gordon playing at?
Nothing had happened between us since the day we got married. Now that he was being so forward, I was utterly confused.
I looked at him strangely. I couldnât figure out what he was playing at, but he looked oddly sincere.
Dad and Mom exchanged looks, but they obviously couldnât be happier..
They had only criticized Gordon because they felt that he didnât care enough about me.
Now that Gordon had personally come bearing gifts and was going to bring me home himself, Dad Immediately said, âThatâs true. Weâve been telling Tay that she shouldnât be living with us now that sheâs married. Iâm delighted that you came today, Gordon. When weâve finished dinner, Tay can go home with you.â
âDad, you didnât even ask me for my opinion. How could you decide for me?: I protested at once.
Dad would always take my side, but this time, he chose to back Gordon up.
He
said sternly, âDonât be silly! Now that youâre married, you canât keep staying here. Gordon came here to get you specifically, so donât throw a tantrum. Since youâre married, you should live a good life together,
alright?â
âButâ¦â
I was extremely reluctant. The reason I had moved back to my parentsâ house in the first place was that L refused to live with Gordon in Hovilham Residence, which always seemed as cold as ice.
*No buts. Sweetie, Gordon wants the two of you to live happily together. Listen to us and go back with
him.â
I had no idea what kind of spell Gordon had cast. Not only was Dad refusing to let me have my way, but
even Mom was trying to persuade me to return.
âI see that women who are married really have no homes of their own,â I complained.
Since my parents had made their opinions clear, what else could I say? All I could do was pout.
My complaint amused Dad, Mom, and Gordon.
Gordon reached out and pinched my cheek affectionately right before my parents.
âDaisy and Charles are doing this for our sake. Youâre their only daughter. Who would they dote on if not
you?â
