Yet, Luis responded with a derisive chuckle, as though he’d heard a joke.

Sarcastically, he said, “Eduardo, seriously, are you trying to win the Best Dad award now? You practically abandoned Debra before. And suddenly, you’re all interested just because she’s meant to be the future Luna?”
Luis’ sharp words had the room temperature plummeting.
The onlookers shifted their gazes between my father and me, their hushed conversations creating a backdrop of whispers.

In that charged moment, my father and I locked eyes for a small moment.
I realized it wasn’t the right moment to have a falling-out with my father. Despite our rocky past, we needed to stand united against our adversaries.
If we didn’t, my father would become a laughingstock and I’d remain a target for the relentless taunting from the Barton family.
Determined, I strode to my father’s side and clasped his hand firmly.
Then, I shifted my gaze towards Luis, weaving a fabricated tale.
“Oh,
‘s
Mr. Barton, your information is a tad obsolete. My father and I patched things up a while back.”
Skepticism clouded Luis’ expression, his doubt evident as he inquired,
“Is that so?”
Just like a shrewd old fox, Luis wasn’t about to swallow my words whole.
I was prepared for this. Swiftly, I concocted a plausible explanation.
I grinned and posed the question, “Care to guess the reason behind my father’s unexpected appearance at Thorn Edge Pack to stand by my side?”
Before he could respond to my query, I added, “I actually wrote him a letter, pouring out the tale of how the Thorn Edge Pack mistreated me. And would you believe it? That’s precisely why he came here with such urgency.”
A shift in Luis’ demeanor caught my eye-a flicker of belief.
I pressed on, my words gaining momentum.
“You know, just like how you cherish your daughter Janiya, my father holds an unwavering love for me. He’s ready to forfeit some of his pack’s interests, all for the sake of my happiness.” What’s more, he misunderstood me before.
It’s more unreasonable for him to love me with guilt.”

A contemplative look crossed Luis’ face as he cast his gaze between my father and me. There was a hint of resentment in his eyes, his clenched jaw revealing his inner turmoil. With a touch of bitterness, he challenged, “So, all that eagerness you showed earlier, was it all just a game to get under my skin?”
A hearty chuckle escaped my father’s lips, dripping with playful mockery.
“That’s right.”
Luis’ fury reached a boiling point, his complexion flushing crimson.
In a fit of anger, he spat out his verdict.
“Well, congratulations, you’ve successfully humiliated me. The Barton family will never do any business with the Silver Ridge Pack in the future.”
Only after Luis’ figure had completely vanished from the doorway did I finally release my grip on my father’s arm.
But my father wasn’t done yet; he didn’t halt his course of action even after Luis had stormed away in a huff.
