Chapter 718 Though Miles Apart (1/2)

David and Rita were greatly concerned about their son, Dylan, but they said nothing when Jacob and Emily told them that Dylan had been injured.

Both David and Rita doted upon Beryl and had already begun seeing her as their daughter-in-law, so they didn't blame her.

Luckily, the injury wasn't too serious and Dylan was still full of vim and vigor.

”Dad, you know what,” Dylan lowered his voice, ”The injury was worth it. Beryl has promised to be responsible for me. She will marry me when she grows up.”

”Wow, good job, my boy.” David took pride in his son. ”I should have been brazen-faced like you, when I wooed your mother.”

Dylan was slightly miffed and stormed, ”I'm not brazen-faced! This is my grand strategy, you know.”

”Come on, I can see through you. Stop acting like that.”

”I don't want to quarrel over this. Dad, when are you going to sit down with Uncle Jacob officially and talk about my marrying Beryl? We need to get engaged first.”

”Your uncle may break your leg, if he knew you wanted to marry his daughter.”

David turned his son's head in the right direction, until he was facing Jacob.

Jacob's death stare scared Dylan from his schemes, and he lowered his head to avoid those fiery eyes. ”Dad, you can handle it. I trust you,” Dylan said confidently.

”What are you two doing over there? Come over here!” Rita yelled at them. David and Dylan immediately heeded her call and trotted over.

They socialized together after supper. Dylan was unwilling to leave Beryl, until David threatened to use violence to bring him to heel.

They had confirmed Emily's true identity, so Dylan had no need to stay.
