Chapter 14: Trust? No!
Helena looked at her father and asked, "Did you get her?"
Vernon frowned when he heard her words. 'Her? What did she mean? I thought she was waiting for someTHING. Instead, she was waiting for someone? Who is it?'
"Yes. I brought her. Now can you go out and attend the event?" Father Ford looked exhausted as he pleaded with his daughter.
Vernon felt sad for the old man. He looked like he had run there. How worried the old man should be, to be so flustered.
Who exactly did he bring? Vernon was confused and tried to peek behind Father Ford. But he couldn't see anyone following the old man.
When he peeked, Father Ford's eyes fell on Vernon and looked shocked.
"Vernon?" He called out to him.
"Yes, Father?" Vernon naturally called him Father because he had been calling him that for ten whole years.
Helena looked at him and raised an eyebrow. He felt that the man was a bit too smooth.
[He doesn't want to marry me but he could call my father that so smoothly? What a weirdo!]
Vernon coughed when he heard her thoughts. That was when he realized that he had never addressed Father Ford as father in this life and it would obviously come as a surprise for the father and daughter duo.
