Chapter 29. Hurting Him Because of Her Dad

Any other girl in Iris's place would have answered back and revolted against her dad, but Iris's nature was different. She was kind-hearted, soft, and felt for others. At this stage, she didn't want to hurt her dad. She didn't want to hurt Nick, too. So she called Nick and tell him to break off their relationship in front of her dad. Later, when she'd go up to her room, she would call him up and explain to him everything. Nick's excited voice broke her thoughts as he answered her call. "Yes, babe? Missing me already?" he asked with a cheerful grin.

Iris's heart lurched at hearing his happy voice. She didn't want to say what her dad was asking her to say, but she had no choice. She didn't want Nick to be rusticated from the college for no fault of his.

"Nick, I just called to say that I've realized that we can't be together anymore," she said into the phone. Nick stilled on the other side. Was Porty torturing her? Was he dictating to her to say what she was saying?
