Chapter 54: Father-In-Law
Back inside the courtroom, the two were very affectionate to each other. Ryu’s arm was placed on Arya’s shoulder while the latter’s arm was wrapped around Ryu’s waist.
Mr. Tan was distracted during the whole trial because of his daughter and the man beside her.
His daughter had just graduated that year. How come there’s already a clinging man at the scene.
On the other hand, though Arya wanted to hide her face from her father, who looked very confused at that moment, she just couldn’t help but be more sympathetic toward Ryu considering her limited time left with him.
Her father was a strict man when it came to his daughter having a relationship. He didn’t want her to have a boyfriend until graduation that’s why she hid her relationship with Jim before.
However, her mom knew about Jim and it was okay with her as long as it was not affecting her studies in a negative way.
At least now, it was fine if her father met Ryu since she had already graduated, but then again they were meant to meet just this once.
After hours of waiting, finally, a ’not guilty’ verdict was announced.
Arya cried out loud as she hugged Ryu tightly then ran towards her dad who was also crying. Tears of joy were overflowing in the eyes of both father and daughter.
"You are free now, Dad." She said still tearing up. Free from everything, including his stained name and reputation.
"Yes, dear," her dad said and then he suddenly looked towards the man beside her.
