Changing Only For Her Novel

“Why don’t we go about it this way? Since you and Sophie have decided to be an item, you should arrange for your mother and me to meet with her parents!”

He’d conclude that it’d be best for them to make their relationship official as he knew he couldn’t change anything and wished to have grandchildren soon.

Both Tristan and Sophie, as well as Sarah, were taken aback by his announcement.

“Dad, you’ve come to terms with it?” Sarah was pleasantly surprised as it had turned out far better than expected.

“Of course, I have. I always do. Jennifer seemed like a nice kid. Little did I expect her to end up in such a state. Well, I suppose we can’t blame her for it.”

“Why, Dad, you’ve always been wise, fair, and the most democratic person I’ve ever met. The absolute best father in the world!” Sarah flattered him in an attempt to distract William from anger.

She dared not cause any more contention for Tristan and Sophie now that he had relented at long last.

Tristan had not foreseen the old-fashioned William to be so pliant and had resolved to move out with Sophie.

“Dad, are you certain?”

“Tristan, what’s with all of you second-guessing my decisions? Are my words that incomprehensible, or am I spouting gibberish?” William said gruffly to hide his slight embarrassment.

Tristan held onto Sophie’s hand.

“All right. I’ll arrange for you to meet Sophie’s parents as soon as possible.” No matter what, he and Sophie would be together forever. A meeting between their parents would seal the deal and make things official.

“This was the reason I decided to visit you. I’ll be taking my leave now. I know how keen all of you want me to be gone.” William got to his feet.

I must seem like a horrible villain in their eyes.

Nonetheless, is there anything I’ve done wrong? All I did was for their own good.

“Dad, since the weather is rather inclement today, why not stay over tonight instead of traveling back and forth? There are extra rooms in the mansion for you to stay in anyway.”

There was indeed no point in such a hassle.
