Tanya disagreed with her father’s words but she did not say them out loud.
“Tanya?” Bob stared at his daughter as he thought of something and laughed. “I am glad that you are willing to take over the family business. However, you are a woman and it isn’t appropriate for you to be engaged in business talks out there. You’re not a little girl anymore. I have been thinking about your marriage so I wanted to ask you if there is anyone you are interested in.”
Tanya’s cheeks flushed in embarrassment when she heard that. She shook her head and said, “I…don’t have anyone in mind.”
She walked towards her father to hug his arm and shook it in a playful way. “Father, I don’t want to get married yet. I want to stay by your side and help you out in our family business.”
“Haha!”
Relieved to hear that, Bob laughed but he still shook his head. “Silly girl, you should get married when it’s time! A daughter should not be clinging on to her father forever!”
His eyes flickered and he continued with a smile, “I don’t want you to leave, either. So, I was thinking about finding you a husband who would get married into our family.”
Tanya’s petite body shuddered as she blushed. “Father, let’s talk about this some other time.”
She was extremely embarrassed.
‘Father is already thinking about marrying me off although I am not interested in anyone? He even wants to find me a husband who would marry into the family. How embarrassing.’
“Fine, I’ll stop…”
Bob burst into laughter when he noticed his daughter’s embarrassment.
A maid briskly walked in and spoke courteously, “Sir, the Head of the Dokko’s family and his second son, Jonas is here for a visit. They are waiting in the front hall.”
‘Uncle Dokko’s here?’
Tanya’s face lit up with joy and she rushed forward. “Father, hurry up! Let’s go meet them!”
She would be totally uninterested if the Head of the Dokko family and Jonas visited them in the past but she was eager now that she was going to introduce Darryl to them!
