Chapter 159. Space

Aubrianne gave him her best 'shocked' and 'so appalled' expressions as she said, "Yes, I can." Then folded her hands defiantly.

Theo's eyes widened, and a broad smile appeared on his already smiling lips. Then he wondered, thank Goddess, she did not grow up with him because he would have spoiled her rotten.

He laughed because he knew how ridiculous that sounded. Still, he could not help but feel grateful for the excellent job Athalia did in raising Aubrianne into such a well-educated and disciplined young woman.

Looking at Aubrianne's little display of defiance, yeah, she would have ruled him as he imagined a three-year-old version of that. She would have had her daddy wrapped around her little finger.

"Hey, but I am serious, though. There is no pressure on this. This decision is all up to you." Theo then reassures Aubrianne.
