“Rhea, care to have a drink with me?” Liam asked, smiling.

“Sure.” Rhea wore a loungewear dress. Her glossy hair fell in gentle waves.

Ruby hadn’t been this happy in a long time. “Nathan, go get one of those bottles I’ve been saving. That one’s stronger but won’t give you a headache, so you can really enjoy drinking it.”

Nathan immediately went to fetch the bottle.

Rhea looked at Liam. “Thanks, Dad.”

Liam asked, “Can you tell me something?”

“What is it?”

“Rhea,” he called out.

“Yes, Dad?”

He swayed slightly. “From now on, do whatever you want. I’ll always protect you.”

Rhea’s eyes welled up with tears, and she nodded. “Thank you, Dad.”

“You two, carry on.”

Once Liam and Ruby left, Nathan looked at Rhea. “Are you serious about that?”

“About what?” Rhea was stunned for a moment.

Nathan’s gaze turned serious. “Rhea, listen up, you can joke around with anyone, but not with George. If you’re playing with his feelings, he-”

“What are you talking about, Nathan?” Rhea crossed her arms. “I won’t play with his feelings. But if we aren’t meant for each other, no one can help it.
