Chapter 0148 Gavins POV I was hesitant for a moment as I stood outside the closed door .<\/p>\n
This was ridiculous , I shouldnt be this nervous .<\/p>\n
But I couldnt get Judys words out of my head .<\/p>\n
Why would I want this for my own daughter ? It was obvious Ethan wasnt serious about his mating with her , so why should I allow it to happen in the first place ? I was Gavin Landry , the Lycan Chairmen and a powerful Alpha .<\/p>\n
If I wanted something , I could get it in a heartbeat .<\/p>\n
But the thought of losing my daughter over this made me feel even more unsettled .<\/p>\n
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door .<\/p>\n
I waited a few heartbeats before the door slowly opened and Irene stood on the other side .<\/p>\n
She looked up at me with a wary expression ; her eyes were red , so I know shes been crying .<\/p>\n
I hated that she was in pain , and I could only blame Ethan for this .<\/p>\n
He was hurting my daughter , and I would make sure he paid for these crimes .<\/p>\n
We need to talk , I told her before I could back out ..<\/p>\n
She sighed and stepped away from her door so I could enter her room .<\/p>\n
It was dark and she hadnt cleaned up in what looked like days .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Im really tired , can it be fast ? She asked as she made her way over to her bed .<\/p>\n
I shut the door behind me and stepped further into her room ..<\/p>\n
Its about Ethan , I told her , making her entire body still .<\/p>\n
She glanced up at me , her eyes narrowed .<\/p>\n
What about him ? I ran my fingers through my hair .<\/p>\n
Are you sure you truly want to marry him , Irene ? I finally asked .<\/p>\n
He makes you miserable and- He doesnt make me miserable , Daddy , Irene said , standing to her feet and folding her arms across her chest .<\/p>\n
Hes the only one who makes me happy .<\/p>\n
I raised my brows .<\/p>\n
Then why are you locking yourself in your room ? I asked her .<\/p>\n
She rolled her eyes .<\/p>\n
Im just going through something \u2026 she murmured .<\/p>\n
It has nothing to do with Ethan .<\/p>\n
She was lying ; I could tell easily .<\/p>\n
Irene , whatever it is , you can talk to me .<\/p>\n
Im your father and- Oh , now you want to pretend like youre a caring father ? Irene spat , taking me by surprise .<\/p>\n
You have never been there for me or Matt .<\/p>\n
You are only around now because you have a gross crush on Matt tutor .<\/p>\n
But Dad , newsflash , Im grown now , and I dont need you meddling in my life .<\/p>\n
I would have loved to have you in my life growing up , but you were always too busy .<\/p>\n
Do you have any idea what its like living in your shadow ? Its exhausting \u2026.<\/p>\n
+26 DONUS Chapter 0148 I was shocked by her words , and I wasnt sure what to say .<\/p>\n
I had no idea she felt that way \u2026 or maybe she was lashing out at me because didnt know who else to take her frustrations out on .<\/p>\n
Either way , 1 I could see the pure pain in her eyes , and it was directed towards me .<\/p>\n
You have barely been a father to me , she continued tears filling her eyes .<\/p>\n
And now you want to take away the only happiness I had ever known ? Do you want me to end it all ? Because Im about ready to take a knife and- ay form Dont you dare speak like that , Irene ! I growled .<\/p>\n
You know I dont want to take anything away you .<\/p>\n
Im just worried about you .<\/p>\n
I want whats best \u2026 Ethan is whats best , she huffed , wiping away the stray tears from her cheeks .<\/p>\n
Hes all I want and Im not giving up on our relationship no matter what happens .<\/p>\n
Hes mine \u2026 and I wont let you take him away from me ! I wasnt sure what more to say , so I nodded .<\/p>\n
