Interracial meeting (4)

After a long silence, I said, "Please give me a bit more time to think this over."

This time, the Merman King didn't force the issue as he responded with a simple nod.

But the way that he looked at me made it clear what he was thinking.

"Don't take too long, or else."

I understood why he felt this way since I had also become a father.

If one day, someone were to come to me for my daughter's hand in marriage…well, it would be hard for me to imagine what exactly I would do. The only thing that I could guarantee was that I wouldn't think that anyone was good enough for my daughter.

But at the same time, I knew that I couldn't keep her by my side forever.

"Being a father really isn't an easy business." I couldn't help thinking to myself seeing the look on the Merman King's face.

The most important thing in the end should be the happiness of one's daughter.
