Chapter 973
Chapter 973
No matter how she stared at her father's face, Serita could only feel uncomfortable. Even though the other party had been her family since she was a child, she found that the time they spent together was surprisingly little.
Luke was always busy with his own affairs. Although he said it was for his family, it was unquestionable that he ignored the feelings of his family.
This would become his sin and he kept it, and now it has indeed been backfired.
"Serita... Regarding the previous incident, I have to admit that I did something wrong. Whether it was before or now, I can't be considered a qualified father."
Serita was about to speak, but the Duke took the initiative to speak. He didn't want to waste Elena's good intentions. He had also done a lot of ideological work during this period. Sometimes he should take the initiative to give in.
Serita was very surprised. He didn't expect his father to say this. For a while, he didn't know how to deal with it.
"But my love for you will never change. As a father, I have never thought of abandoning you as my daughter. My love may be heavy, but I have always thought about giving you a better life."
Luke didn't care about Serita's reaction, and spoke out his true thoughts from the bottom of his heart.
Sometimes sincerity is the greatest weapon. Luke no longer cares about those messy things. He wants to reconcile with Serita, even if he doesn't hesitate to put down his attitude and destroy his dignity as a father.
I have to say that this is really effective. Serita was stunned in place, as if she had received a huge impact, and she couldn't react in a short time.
But I have to say that Serita has persisted for so many years, and the words she wants to hear most are these few sentences. Although her mood is a little complicated, she feels unexpectedly refreshed.
"This is what you should do."
But Serita is now somewhat arrogant, unwilling to admit that she is very happy, and must answer in this awkward way of speaking.
"But I think you should think carefully about the matter between you and Elena."
Luke, who was just talking well, suddenly changed his tone and forced the topic to Serita and Elena.
"During this period, I have carefully investigated Elena's situation, his background, his experience, and the interpersonal relationships around him. I don't think he would mind if I did this? As a father, sometimes I really need to know more deeply."
After saying this, the Duke also greeted Elena and checked her current status.
Elena outside the door just stretched out her right hand and waved to indicate that she had no problem. He could understand Luke's mentality. This level of investigation was the minimum. Elena would do the same if she were in his place.
"Excuse me, Elena is a commoner of the Kingdom of Solons, so his status is very low. We can ignore his origin. Elena's talent and experience alone are enough to make up for this. If Elena can marry into the family, we don't have to consider these.
But the problem is that Elena is from the Kingdom of Solons, the closest person to the hero, and there are a lot of women around him, so he can't focus on you alone.
You are the daughter of the Duke's family, and your future is highly tied to the identity of the Duke. We only have you as a child, so you have to consider the family no matter what."
Duke Luke said seriously that he could accept Serita's free love, but the premise was to take into account the future of the Duke's Mansion.
After all, it's impossible for Serita to get married and no one will take care of the family, right? Serita is the only legitimate heir to the Duke, and no matter what, she can't leave the family alone.
"And I'm looking for some dedicated and excellent young people for you. They are in good condition and willing to devote their whole lives to you. The combination of our two families is a strong alliance, and the future of the Duke's Mansion will only become stronger and stronger.
My current title is the result of the whole family's years of operation. I can't let these achievements end here. You should also have a similar awareness."
Luke said seriously. Nobles like him have a sense of mission, and he also hopes that Serita has such awareness.
"Huh? Why? My life is determined by one or two words from you, right? It's true that Elaina is a little philandering, and I have to admit that I am not the one Elaina likes the most.
But who I want to be with is my own business. You have no right to control these things, and don't use family affairs to pressure me!"
It was fine at the beginning, but Luke's so-called sense of mission angered Serita all of a sudden.
Serita actually has a strong sense of responsibility for her family.She also cares about the future. After all, this is the result of so many generations, and she doesn't want it to be destroyed in her hands.
But the problem is that her father used this reason to pressure her and asked her to change her mind, which directly touched her bottom line.
Serita said that she would never agree to the marriage because of this matter. Even if she died, she would never be with someone she didn't like, not to mention that this was just for the so-called inheritance of the family business.
"Besides, isn't it normal for men to be a little fickle? Men in this world always have three wives and four concubines, even His Majesty the King of the Empire. Are there not enough women around him?"
Serita retorted unconvincedly. There are few men in this world, and it is normal for men to have many women around them, especially those who are the strongest. Their situation is even more extreme.
Elena, who was listening silently outside the door, had a bit of a sour expression. I don't know why he always felt offended when he heard the examples given by these two people.
"It depends on the situation. I am very devoted to your mother. Have you seen me have any ambiguous relationship with other women in all these years?"
This time it was Luke's turn to be a little unconvinced. He considered himself a "pure love warrior" and had always been very devoted to Serita's mother.
"Come on, you are so stupid to say that. Have you forgotten what happened between you and Pandora half a month ago? You two were like that and you dared to tell me that you are very devoted to your mother. I feel sick just thinking about it!"
Serita said with disgust. She had not forgotten about Luke and Pandora, not to mention that there were many more exaggerated interactions between the two in many places that could not be seen, and she did not want to bring them up.
As soon as Luke said this, his face flushed instantly. He really couldn't refute anything. Moreover, he had finally forgotten what happened between him and the insect girl, but now Serita brought it up again, which made him feel quite painful.
