Mr. Riley was indeed very happy today.
His only daughter hadn’t just escaped the dangers of Syria, but was also returned to him safely.
What’s more important was that after this time, she’d be more aware of the dangers in the world, and would no longer blindly
pursue the same unrealistic ideals as before.
Further, his daughter also promised Charlie that she would stay to help him, which meant that he could live with his daughter in
the safe and comfortable city of Aurous Hill for a long time.
Being as happy as he was, he naturally drank a few more glasses.
After three rounds of Moutai, Mr. Riley became a little drunk.
He thanked Charlie one after another, and finally focused on his daughter.
He looked at his only daughter with three points of drunkenness and seven points of love, and sighed, “Zoey, you and Charlie
are both about the same age, but Charlie has been married for 4 years.
You should pay more attention to such personal issues, right?”
Zoey drank a small half bottle of red wine.
Although she was not drunk, her pretty face was already a little red.
Hearing that her dad suddenly started to care about her life-long events again, she said in a bit embarrassed manner, “Dad...
Don’t worry about this kind of thing.
I have many friends around my age who are still focused on studying at school, it doesn’t really matter if you’re not married until
your thirties.”
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered the lie she’d told her father before, and quickly said, “Furthermore... About my
situation... I haven’t told you everything...”
Mr. Riley looked at her.
After a pause of more than ten seconds, he finally sighed and said with emotion, “Even if you like girls, it’s time to find a girlfriend
at this age?”
“I...” Zoey didn’t expect that her father would say these words in front of Charlie. She felt extremely embarrassed and didn’t
know how to answer.
Charlie remembered suddenly what Mr. Riley had told him before; that Zoey was indeed very rebellious, and that she was more
interested in girls instead of boys.
With this thought, the first thing that came to Charlie’s mind were the two other female hostages he saw with Hamid in Syria.
So he blurted out and asked, “Zoey... In Syria, your two female companions, were either your significant other?”
When Zoey heard this, she was completely stunned.
After a few seconds, she returned to her senses and said with shame, “Mr. Wade, what are you talking about... They are my
classmates... How could either be my other half......”
She didn’t expect that Charlie would be relieved when he heard this, as he relaxed and said with emotion, “Oh, it’s fine if there is
none, it’s fine if there is none.”
Mr. Riley poured a glass of wine at this time, and then raised his hand in mid-air and continued to gesture and say, “Actually, Dad
is also more open now.
In this society, that situation is not very common.
Many countries have legal marriage, including the United States.
If you find the other half you like, you can get the marriage certificate in the United States”
Zoey was extremely embarrassed and even said, “Oh, I think you drank too much, you should drink a little less!
“I didn’t drink too much...” Mr. Riley said seriously, “In fact, these words have been held in my heart for a long time.
I have always wanted to tell you that, but I just didn’t find a chance to.
It just happened that you came back safely today.
I have to take this opportunity to talk to you about my heart.”
Without waiting for Zoey to reply, he continued, “dad really wants you to be happy and healthy, not to live the way I want you to
be.
Life is short, you live it the way you like best.”
Speaking of this, he at least poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one sip, and then said: “Dad has also paid attention to
some foreign girls who are in the same situation as you.
I found that their lives are very happy and happy.
They have also received the understanding and support of friends and family around them.
Some of them have been legally married and live together openly.
Many couples in this situation choose to reproduce in vitro.
I think this is also a very good solution.
It can not only meet your partner selection needs, but also allows you to continue your bloodline, killing two birds with one stone,
what do you think?”
Zoey was dumbfounded.
