Chapter 123 - Between the father in law and son in law.

Since the travel was a twelve hours flight, everyone concluded the evening and let everyone rest much the older people. Butler Leo guided Old master Sy and Butler Pito to their bedroom while Celerina guided the Sy Madam to hers. Veronica in advance has told her of this set-up and efficiently, Celerina tasked to arranged and prepared the room for these people.

Same as with Rawlf, Eddie Wang was just waiting for a moment to talk to Rawlf Sy. Since he had rested from sitting for the meal, he walked passed his daughter and the man beside her. Passing by he said in a low voice, "I'll be waiting in the study." And the old man walked ahead.

"Do you need help pa?" Veronica asked, worried her father might be feeling discomfort.

"I'm alright. Lead your fiancé to your room first and back to the study so he won't be lost later."

Veronica mouthed a "Thank You" to her father and the man smiled to continue.

"Let's go to our room first. I'll lead you to the study later."

"Where is our cubs room?" Rawlf ask.

"Don't worry, it's just beside mine." Veronica held Rawlf's hand to pull him as she walked. The man took large steps and walked side by side with her. He flipped his hand and enveloped her hands within his. Your father, he is a good. Also rational."

"Thought you'd say the opposite." Replied Veronica smiling.

"No. Every father would do that to their future son in law. In fact, I would even do more in the future with our princess."

"It's good that the future son in law is also as understanding as you."

"He should be."

After Veronica and Rawlf settled inside the bedroom, Veronica led him to their children's room. They first checked on them and after, Veronica soon led him to her father's study.

"I'll wait for you here."

"No. You go back to the room and rest. I memorized the path back." Rawlf then kissed her forehead before opening the study's door to get inside.

Seeing Eddie Wang on the lounge area, Rawlf approached him.

Unlike his ignoring act earlier, he look at the man and told him to sit. "She's waiting outside." Eddie Wang rather state than ask. After all, he knew his daughter very well.

Rawlf nodded. "I told her to go ahead and rest but… we knew her."

Eddie Wang smiled. "Then let's quickly discussed and not let her wait."

"Alright, father." Rawlf said naturally, testing the waters. When Eddie Wang didn't react, Rawlf knew he was right about this older man all along.

Their discussion lasted for almost an hour, however, with the length and extent of their discussion, it should have lasted for hours. But both men knew that a silly woman both closed to their hearts is waiting outside so they no longer tried to argue on little details. When Eddie Wang finally stood up, it means they are done. "I know of your reputation, clearly, but since you're the man my daughter chose and frankly, I know you are different with her, then I'll entrust her and my grandchildren to you."

Rawlf for the first time in his life, bowed to someone not his father. "I will never disappoint your trust, father."

"Good."

Eddie Wang stayed in the study because he said that he needs to finished a book tonight and let Rawlf go ahead, making a sign that someone is outside. And true enough, when Rawlf opened the study's door, he saw Veronica waiting in a straight posture. He right away closed the door behind him and pulled her in his embrace.

"Didn't I told you to go ahead and rest early."

Veronica rolled her eyes. "I'm not a fragile glass that would break easily."

"I know. And I'm proud of you."

Veronica studied the man in front of her. What else had they discussed inside? She never expected that her father and Rawlf would settle right away.

Seeing her curious expression, Rawlf just pulled her.

That night, Veronica was even more curious what her father had discussed with Rawlf because tonight as they shared another intimate moment, he is very gentle and devoted to the extent of even kissing every part of her body.

Veronica couldn't help a blush.
