Chapter 26

"So... Does this mean I'm going to miss my girlfriend till school resumes?" Liam asked Cassandra on their way out of the school.

"We will visit each other ok...." Cassandra replied.

"I'm welcome at anytime?" Liam asked playfully.

"No... Not anytime, You can't visit at night" Cassandra replied and Liam laughed.

"I'm going to miss my baby..." Gabriella said hugging Cassandra.

"Me too" Jane said joining them.

"Girls... Don't worry... We will keep visiting each other" Cassandra replied.

"Sure..." Gabriella and Jane said at the same time.

"You guys should not kidnap her attention from me..." Liam said sounding jealous and the three girls laughed in disbelief.

"My dad is here" Cassandra said as soon as she sighted Mr. Vincent's car.

"Oh... So that's my father in-law" Liam said playfully and Cassandra hit him.

"Bye guys... Cassandra said hugging Gabriella and Jane.

"You did not hug me" Liam said with a mischievous smile. Cassandra could only roll her eyes and then hug him.

"Bye" she said and left.

"My princess... Mr. Vincent said hugging his daughter.

"I miss you dad" Cassandra said.

"I miss you too... Don't tell me your friends are not coming to greet me" Mr. Vincent said and Cassandra signaled are friends to come over.

"Good afternoon sir..." They chorused.

"Good afternoon... So you are Cassandra's friends?" Mr. Vincent asked.

"Yes sir" Gabriella replied.

"I hope she is not causing any trouble for you guys?" Mr. Vincent asked.

"no sir... She is really a good person" Liam replied.

"Wow... So what are your names?" Mr. Vincent asked and they all introduce their selves.

After speaking with Cassandra's friends for a while, Mr. Vincent and his daughter left.

"Cassandra's father is nice" James said.

"I agree... I envy her... I wish dad is still alive" Gabriella replied.

"If only my dad will be this caring and friendly" Jane said.

....

"Your friends are funny" Mr. Vincent said.

"Oh yes they are" Cassandra replied.

"Who is that guy with blue jean and white shirt?" Mr. Vincent asked.

"Oh... Liam" Cassandra tried to sound casual.

"Mmmmm who is he?" Mr. Vincent asked.

"My.... Friend, Gabriella's brother" Cassandra replied. At this point, her heart was thumping loudly.

"Not your... Boyfriend?" Mr. Vincent asked and Cassandra choked on her drink.

"I noticed some kind of chemistry" Mr. Vincent added.

"Dad... I feel so exhausted... Need to take a nap" Cassandra said feigning a yawn.

"I'm just asking.... Don't run away from it... We will definitely talk about it." Mr Vincent replied.

'What a disaster....' Cassandra said inwardly.

...

"You are back..." Mr Robert said as soon as Gabriella and Liam entered the house.

"No.... Can't you see we are leaving?" Liam replied rudely.

"You should learn some good manners" Mr. Robert said.

"Gabriella take this laugages in" Liam said without taking his eyes off Mr. Robert.

"Ok... So the boy is finally a grown up" Mr. Robert said smiling mischievously.

"Robert... Don't think you can manipulate everyone. What so ever you are planning by bringing back your daughter, should better stop" Liam said and started walking away.

"Or what?" Mr. Robert said making Liam to halt and look at him over his shoulder.

"You will regret it..." Liam said in cold tune and left.
