Chapter 61: Take A Break

When Lillie returned home from the company, she was caught off guard by the unexpected presence of her father.

"Father, what brings you here?" she asked, slightly surprised to see him sitting on the sofa.

Her father, Mr. Bai, looked at her with a melancholy expression. There was a sense of worry etched on his face as he stood up and motioned for her to sit beside him. Without saying much more, he gently took her hands into his and began caressing them softly, as if trying to find the right words to speak.

"My darling daughter," he began, his voice filled with a sadness she hadn't expected, "you know how much it pains me to see you fly out of the nest, but whether I like it or not, you'll need to start thinking about having a family of your own soon."

Lillie raised an eyebrow at him, slightly puzzled. "What do you mean by that?" she asked cautiously, sensing that this conversation was taking a serious turn.
