Succeed

Alvin could see something was bothering Dennis. When it's about Anya, he was ready to solve whatever it was. They should talk directly instead of pressuring Anya differently.

"Mr. Owen, feel free to voice anything that's on your mind." Alvin sounded more like he was negotiating a business deal. He was neither nervous nor amiable but focused.

Dennis sighed faintly and nodded. When Anya was born, he knew one day he would have to meet her boyfriend. Dennis had thought he would make things difficult for her boyfriend to make sure that boyfriend was sincere to his daughter. 

Looking at Alvin's seriousness and their situation, Dennis just focused on his worries. He just wished for his daughter to get the man she likes. The man who could love her unconditionally and take care of her.
