Chapter 1464 Dad
Soon, Arielle entered the palace. It was her and Dylan’s first time meeting each other after ascertaining that they were family. The king was nervously rubbing his hands together as he looked at his daughter. Seeing that, tears welled up in Arielle’s eyes. “Dad…”
Dylan never thought that Arielle would call him “Dad,” and he immediately froze.
“Dad,” Arielle called him again.
Dylan swiftly replied, “I’m here.”
He then turned around to wipe the tears away from his eyes before turning back to her. “My eyes have been a little unwell recently. I’ve been tearing up a lot.” With that said, he pointed at the couch at the side and continued, “Let’s sit here and talk.”
Arielle knew that the discomfort in his eyes was just an excuse. He was clearly crying after hearing her calling him Dad. However, she was not going to call him out on that.
“If your eyes are unwell, you should let a doctor have a look at them.” As she spoke, she sat down on the couch. Once Dylan saw that she was on the couch, he took a seat opposite her.
When Arielle saw that Vinson had walked to the back of her couch to stand, she furrowed her brows and asked, “You should sit down too. Why are you standing there?”
Hearing that, Dylan’s eyes flitted toward Vinson.
This is the son-in-law I heard of. Even though Arielle and I have already accepted each other as family, he still won’t reveal his true identity. In that case, I’ll just pretend not to know about it. That way, the two of them won’t be as clingy with each other around me. That will be a sight that’ll break my heart.
Nevertheless, the reality was cruel, for the next moment, Arielle uttered, “Dad, to be honest with you, he’s not my bodyguard; he’s my husband.”
Hearing that, Dylan clutched at his chest as he looked at Arielle. My dear little princess…
He then glanced at Vinson and huffed, “I’ve already guessed as much a few days ago.”
Vinson never thought that Arielle would tell Dylan his identity that quickly, let alone Dylan having figured out who he was that swiftly. Still, he smiled and walked over to Dylan before solemnly saying, “Dad, I’m Vinson Nightshire, Sannie’s husband.”
Dylan was both happy and disappointed to hear Vinson call him Dad.
Frankly, he was satisfied to have Vinson as his son-in-law, but when he thought about how Arielle was already part of another family just as he found out that they were related, he felt dejected. Still, when he thought about how she had yet another person to love and protect her, he felt that it was good that Arielle was married to Vinson.
“Mm.” Dylan looked at Vinson with a solemn look and said, “You have to be nice to her. If I ever find out that you’ve mistreated her, I’ll never let you off the hook.”
Dylan’s threat meant nothing to Vinson because Vinson would never mistreat Arielle.
“Rest assured, Dad. I’ll only be good to her and her only.”
At that, Vinson let his gaze land on Arielle, and the latter flashed him a smile. At that moment, it was as if the two of them were in a world where only they existed. Dylan, who was by their side, felt exasperated and happy at the same time.
“I hope you’ll remember what you’ve said,” he uttered before pointing at the spot beside his. “Come. Sit here.”
For now, he had no desire to see the couple sitting beside each other.
Men knew men best. As such, Vinson immediately understood what his father-in-law meant. After glancing at Arielle, he lifted his foot to walk toward Dylan and take a seat beside him. However, he only managed to take a step before Arielle tugged the corner of his sleeve.
Immediately, he turned around to cast her a confused gaze.
“Sit here,” she said as her eyes drifted to the spot beside hers.
