Zoey was surprised, he thought the father was just making up it turned out that the problems faced by the father was not playing games.
I tried to calm Zoey down by giving her a warm hug.
" What do I do, Dave ? Where can I let Daddy deal with it myself. "bluffy Zoey.
" If you want, you can help her ! Go, I won't ban you. The company belongs to your family, and you must have a hand to save it" I said.
" But I don't want to part with you. I don't want to ! " excited Zoey.
" Hey, did I say part with you ? Honey... We'll help your father's company together. I'll move our company to the capital, so we'll stick with "my mouth to provide a solution.
" What about our clients here ? There we have to start all over again " said Zoey doubtfully.
" It's okay, honey. It's okay, as long as we're together, I'm sure we can get through everything "my chimpanzee, while stroking Zoey's hair and tidying up her messy haircut.
" Tomorrow we go to the capital. Let's go see your dad, okay ! " my suggestion followed by a nod by my beloved wife.
The next day, Zoey and I left for the capital. We're planning to meet Mr. Rick at the company. Zoey wanted to see firsthand the conditions in her father's company.
Quite a long trip we took, about 6 hours by train. And we arrived at the company by the time lunch time arrived.
From the train station, we immediately headed to Mr. Rick's company by taxi.
Mr. Rick's door opened, and Zoey and I saw Mr. Rick massaging his temple. Some files seem to be piled up on his desk.
Mr. Rick's coat is draped over the chair. His appearance looks messy with a tie made to loosen up. He still did not realize our presence there.
" So how has the bank made a decision on the loan we apply for ? " he asked without looking at us. His eyes closed with a hand that could not be separated from his temple.
Zoey and I looked at each other. Maybe Mr. Rick thinks we're his secretary.
" Daddy." shrewd Zoey as she stared at her father.
" Zoey... Daddy misses you so much, to the point of hearing your voice "murm Mr. Rick without opening his eyes.
" daddy... "
Zoey ran to her father and hugged him tightly.
Mr. Rick who felt someone holding him immediately opened his eyes and then widened when he saw the daughter who was very dear to him there, was hugging his body.
" Oh, Zoey... Is this really you, son ? "
Mr. Rick stared at Zoey after goal, making sure that this wasn't his imagination.
" Yes, daddy. It's me Zoey ! I came back for daddy ", Zoey replied, hugging the father.
The two hugged each other releasing a burning longing. Creating a full atmosphere.
I just stood looking at the closeness of the two of them. Eventually their embrace unraveled and Zoey returned to me.
Mr. Rick smiled at me, maybe he wanted to thank me for coming to bring his beloved daughter.
We're in the dining room at Mr. Rick's. My wife's childhood home, before she left it because she chose to live with me.
Zoey looked around the house that still looked the same since she left it. Nothing has changed one bit. Even their family portraits are still neatly displayed on the walls of the family room.
My wife's tears fell on her cheeks. I can see that he misses all the memories of this great house.
" Are you okay, honey ? " many walk to him.
He nodded and hugged my body.
" Are we going to stay here now ? " ask Zoey.
I stroked her hair gently.
" Yes, if you want to stay "I answer.
" We'll help daddy "add me again.
" Thank you "he said while looking at me.
We looked at each other until our lips were connected to each other.
" Ahem "
Deheman's voice made us let go of the link of our lips.
We turned our heads and saw Mr. Rick there, staring at us with an indecipherable look.
" Mm, Daddy, " said Zoey as she approached Mr. Rick and then twitched in the middle-aged man's arm.
" You guys just continue in the room ! " excited Mr. Rick as he glanced at me.
I just smiled awkwardly while rubbing my nape. I don't know, I still feel like he hasn't fully accepted my relationship with Zoey.
Zoey blinked one eye at me as she walked past me with Mr. Rick.
" Wait for me in the room" Zoey said without a sound.
He kept walking Mr. Rick to his father's room.
" Already, you accompany your husband ! Daddy doesn't want to interrupt your fun. After all you need to rest after the trip was "excited Mr. Rick who of course made Zoey's face red.
" Alright, dad. I love you daddy " said Zoey then kissed Mr. Rick's cheek before he came out of his room.
" I love you more, my little angel" muttered Mr. Rick as he watched Zoey's back come out of his room.
Mr. Rick sat down while leaning against the headboard of the bed. He kept thinking about the attitude he would take to Dave and Zoey.
Although he disapproves of the relationship between Zoey and Dave due to differences in their social status. However, seeing the princess' happiness together with Dave, Mr. Rick is now trying to accept their relationship.
I think I should respect their relationship. Zoey looks so happy with him...
Dave is a good guy anyway. He also loved my daughter very sincerely
Mr. Rick decided to contact Jackson. He intends to cancel their deal, as Mr. Rick believes with Zoey and Dave with him the company's situation will soon improve.
" Hello, Jack "
" Hello, father-in-law. How are you doing ? I'm sure you've brought good news " Jackson said.
Mr. Rick sighed
" There's something I want to talk to you about. Can we meet ? " ask Mr. Rick.
" Of course father-in-law. Where can we meet ? Are you going to take my future wife with you ? " ask Jackson.
" You know if Zoey's back yet ? " wonder Mr. Rick.
" Of course I know. There's nothing I don't know. Have you forgotten who I am ? "
" You're spying on me ! " said Mr. Rick did not accept.
" Calm down father-in-law. You don't have to be angry ! I'm just making sure you don't change your mind. You know very well what I can do if my wish is not achieved "said Jackson as if to be a threat to Mr. Rick.
Mr. Rick swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. He rethink to cancel his deal with Jackson.
" Hello, father-in-law ? You still there ? " ask Jackson.
" Ah, yes... "
" Alright, we can meet tomorrow at a regular restaurant at lunchtime" Jackson said.
" Alright ! See you tomorrow "said Mr. Rick.
