He felt profound disappointment in his daughter.
Your mother wanted you to use that money to start a family. She told me to withhold it until you were engaged. I cant believe you tricked me just for the money. Considering this wasnt a genuine engagement, Ill hold onto the money for you for now. Ill hand it over when youre genuinely engaged in the future.
