Chapter 14.
Chapter 14.
For the first time in my life, dad didn't wipe my tears and hugged me. Still, I gulped and continued. "I
invited my fiance to meet with you tonight for dinner."
His eyes turned wide, "what did you say?" He demanded.
"Yes, I got engaged today dad, his name is Gabriel and I love him," I informed him, meeting his gaze
head-on.
"Stop this childish act and tell me clearly who this man is? What does he do! I want to know everything
about him, Aurora, I won't let any gold digger come in a ten-meter radius with you."
"He is not a gold digger, dad. He is earning well on his own and we both love each other." I stressed on
the word love while looking into his eyes to show him how serious I was about Gabe.
He continued staring at me for a long moment of time. "I want to meet this man!" He said, sharpening
his eyes.
I shrugged my shoulders and crossed my hands to my chest. "I already invited him to dinner tonight.
He will be here in two hours."
I found a sudden change in dad's energy. His body stiffened hearing my words. I thought he would be
angry but contrary to my beliefs he said something unexpected. "Alright! Let's meet this fiancee of
yours, my baby."
I was stunned. "You...you will meet him, dad?" I asked, unable to believe that he said that when a
moment ago he was ready to start a war with Gabe.
He smiled warmly. "Yes, you have no idea how special you are to me, Aurora. I can do anything for
you, anything my baby."
My heart melted at his words. I knew how much he loves me. My dad was my life, he can do anything
for me and I can do anything for him too. We were always like this even with mom. Whenever she used
to get angry with me I ran to dad's office and hid behind his chair while mom used to scold him for
spoiling me but dad being the dad he always coaxed mom and helped me.
"I love you, dad…" I went in his arms and hugged him tightly. "I am so sorry for talking like this but I
was angry at that pathetic man, not you. Please forgive your Aurora." I whispered in his chest.
He rubbed his hand on my hair, whispering warm words. "My baby, my sweet baby. It's okay, come on
now, let me do some work, you go and change into something presentable for dinner. And I keep my
guns ready for the man who is coming to snatch my princess away from me."
I giggled in his chest. "Na! I will live with my dada, forever." I called him Dada like I used to call him
when I was a child. He kissed my hair and broke our hug. "Go now, darling."
I smiled and missed his cheek before walking out of his office. I went to my room and called Gabe who
picked up the first ring.
"Did you talk with your dad?" He asked immediately without even bothering with a hello.
My poor baby. *sigh* How scared he was of losing me. "Yes I did, Gabe."
"What did he say?" He asked.
"He wants to meet you, Gabe. I told you, you are worrying in vain. My dad loves me so much that he
will accept my decisions. Anyway don't be late, he is very particular about everything so do come on
time. Please!"
"Oh thank God!" He sighed in relief. "You have no idea how anxious I was about you talking to your dad
about us, Aurora. I just…" he sighed again.
"I just love you so much that I am scared of losing you, you are my only hope in life Aurora. You are my
salvation in life."
Aw! My baby. I clutched my phone tightly and pinched my lips in a thin line at the sweetness of his
words. "And you are mine, now don't make me emotional, I need to dress up for my fiance's arrival and
you are wasting my time." NôvelDrama.Org content.
He chuckled. "I will see you when I come there, Miss kings. Now tell me which wine your dad likes to
let me make an impression on you dad."
I told him the name of dad's favourite white wine before ending the call. I turned in my heels and went
to my walk-in closet. I needed to change but I didn't know what to wear. After checking my whole closet
I was still confused. I have tried at least fifteen dresses but was not satisfied with any of them.
My room looked as if a tsunami had come over here and littered the whole floor with clothes but it was
not a tsunami, it was just me not able to decide what to wear. Biting my cheek from inside, patting a
finger to my lip, I was trying to choose when I heard a loud chirpy voice that sang my name.
"Oh, Aurora…"
I rolled my eyes and turned towards the one and only girl who can make my blood pressure rise and
fall at the same time. "Yes, my lord!" I mocked her.
"Wow! Wow! Are going somewhere, miss kings. Or you have decided to clean your wardrobe yourself
for once! If that's the case I am going to faint."
I snickered and put on a fake smile on my lips. "What do you want, Susan Kelly?" I raised my brows in
askance.
"Okay, being snappy only means two things: that something good and bad happened at the same time.
Am I right, lady?"
I left the breath I was holding. Kicking off some clothes so that I could walk to my bed I sat on it.
"Yes…" I told her.
She walked to me and cocked her head to one side. "Spill up, lady!" She demanded.
And I told her some things about my meeting with mr high and mighty. 'What the fuck are you barking?"
She said in her rich colourful language and today I didn't mind her beautiful cursed terms. Not even the
F* word, Mind you!
