Way Of Me
The Part 20

" It turns out you're here" said Mr. Rick when he found Zoey and Dave.

" Daddy... ? What's daddy doing here ? " question Zoey astonished that the father was suddenly there.

" Daddy's looking for you. Daddy's friends want to see you " replied Mr. Rick.

" Daddy, I'm tired... Can we go home ? " zoey pinta.

" Okay, we go in first to say goodbye " said Mr. Rick.

" No, daddy... I'm going home with Dave " said Zoey.

" Can't... Do you want others to see you two ", Mr. Rick said.

" Why is it ? I went home with my own husband, so it wasn't a "moment Zoey said.

" That's a big deal Zoey ! What would they say if they saw you with Dave now ? Everything we do will be in vain. They will all look down on us " said Mr. Rick in a slightly high tone of voice.

" Why look down ? Dave and I didn't do anything wrong. Should have been proud daddy for having a daughter-in-law who was very protective of daddy's daughter. Should daddy support her instead of supporting other men to be close to me "dead Zoey no less high.

" Zoey... Nevermind ! Your father was right, you better not look close to me "I said as I rubbed his shoulders.

" You heard... Even your own husband is much more understanding than you" said Mr. Rick.

" Daddy will be waiting for you inside. Dave, please persuade your wife ! " excited Mr. Rick then left me and Zoey.

" good, Sir. I will persuade him "my words.

Zoey gave me a sharp look.

" You even support daddy's wishes ? " ask Zoey.

" It's not so honey... Right now, maybe this is the best path "my answer goes awry.

" Dave, do you love me ? " ask Zoey while looking at me deeply.

" Of course, I love you so much "I replied firmly.

" Why don't you fight for me ? Have I ever questioned your appearance ? Do I feel disgusted at you ? No. Dave, I've always been proud to love you no matter what. But why did you never trust me ? I'm willing to lose anything as long as it's always with you. If necessary, we just start our new life in a distant place. Where no one knows us..."

" No, Zoey... Don't be silly ! " cut me.

" We've come this far. Don't you want to help your father ? I am willing to accept any consequences. Zoey, this is your family's company. Would you like to see it destroyed ? "

" Will you be willing if our relationship is broken ? " ask Zoey who keeps me quiet.

" Not so, honey... "

" You're not even aware, your attitude has indirectly supported daddy's desire to get me closer to Jackson. You should have been more assertive to daddy so he wouldn't have been able to intervene in our relationship" Zoey said.

Everything Zoey said was true. My attitude actually makes Jackson have a great opportunity to get close to Zoey. But what is my day. I have no power to help my wife and father-in-law.

" Can't you answer it ? What I'm saying is true, isn't it, Dave ? " ask Zoey again.

" Zoey, I just don't want my existence to hinder your career "I replied.

" Classical reason "for Zoey to take her eyes off.

" Well, if that's what you want. I'll follow all daddy's words. I hope you don't regret it, Dave " said Zoey then left me without looking back.

I looked at him who was walking away with a pushy look. I wanted to run after him, but this leg felt so heavy to step on.

I'm sorry, Zoey !
