Kevin Kyle kept quiet.
He really didn't want his precious daughter to be as polite as a stranger to him, but he didn't want to argue with her either.
Karen Joy Kyle didn't know what Kevin was thinking, so she continued, "Dad, I know that you love me and care for me so much that you can't wait to give me all the best things in the world. But I still hope that you can let me do something by myself so that I can grow strong on my own. What do you think?"
He felt that his daughter was implying that he was nosy, so his face darkened and he looked at Karen Daly discontentedly, as if to say, "Look, your daughter is complaining about me.
Karen was extremely innocent in this matter!
She did give birth to this daughter, but Kevin spoiled her the most. Now that the child said something he was not happy with, how could he blame her?
Karen Joy didn't know that her father was unhappy and was still making her speak. "Dad, look, if you do everything for me, I would rely on you. What should I do if I can't rely on you in the future?"
After all, parents would eventually grow old, and they would be powerless one day. If she couldn't be independent and strong enough before that day comes, how could she care for her parents?
It was good that she knew her father's love for her. She hoped that he would let her go and do more things by herself, so that she could hold up the sky of her own in the future.
That was Karen Joy's opinion, but Kevin thought differently. As a father, he wanted to pave the way for his daughter for her future.
Even if he grew old late, the man that his daughter liked should take over his place and spoil his beloved daughter so that she could continue to be carefree.
He said, "So, you can't rely on that Cooper kid?"
If Nathaniel Cooper couldn't take care of Karen Joy on his behalf, he would never give his daughter to him.
"Dad, we are talking about us. Don't bring up Brother Lionel, okay?" Karen Joy just didn't like him talking about Brother Lionel in such a skeptical tone.
"He may be your Brother Lionel, but I'm still your father, I can't even question anything about him?" Kevin was very unpleased that Karen Joy always protected Nathaniel.
Karen Joy was so angry that she stomped her feet. "Dad, you are being unreasonable."
Kevin's face didn't look good either. "You're protecting him, and you're still saying that I'm unreasonable?"
If he was really unreasonable, he would try his best to kill that Cooper boy! He would never let that man make his daughter worry at all.
"Dad, I won't fight with you anymore. You guys should go to bed early." Karen Joy wanted to call her father to thank him, but she didn't expect that they would argue.
Both of them had a stubborn temper. Once they were fixed on something, it would be difficult for them to change their views.
Karen Joy was the first to hang up the call, fearing that she would lose her mind and say things that would hurt her father.
Kevin was so angry that he yelled, "What's so good about that kid? How can our daughter protect him like this?"
"You don't like him and don't think there's anything good about that kid, but at least he dotes on our daughter. Wasn't the son-in-law you were looking for just a man that would dote on your daughter?" At this crucial moment, Karen stood up as a mediator. "Kevin, why can't you see that?"
"That kid made her suffer so much and she still protects him. Can't I have my own opinion?" Kevin couldn't be satisfied with the man his daughter chose to be with.
Maybe the problem wasn't him, but Kevin might find it hard to accept any partner Karen Joy had.
Before his precious daughter had fallen in love, her father was her favorite man, the most handsome man in her heart, the hero in her mind, but now... that Cooper kid took away his daughter.
