......
Maria had to admit her father was right even if she didn't want to.
She had been too forthright.
It was true.
Of course, she knew.
But she couldn't help it.
Because she loved him, she couldn't help wanting to be close to him all the time. Even with just one call, she would appear right in front of him, even if it was in the middle of the night.
After thinking rationally, she had indeed been too forthright.
Zachary could tell Maria was taking in his advice.
With that, a touch of benevolence surfaced in his eyes, knowing his daughter was brilliant.
He was truly pleased.
Zachary said, heartfelt, "Why don't you sit down. This will take a while."
"Mm." Maria sat down, and the father and daughter faced each other.
"Maria, I'm a man, so I know exactly what men are like." Zachary continued, "It's about time you and Liam move on from your newlywed stage. Go and have fun with Leah and Ernest tomorrow. Ignore Liam."
