Chapter 29

• Upon entering the study, Andrew Smith gestured for Levy to take a seat and then began speaking, "I called you here because I can see how much you love my daughter. From the way you look at her, I can tell it's the same way I look at my wife. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her." Andrew's words were meant to create a comfortable atmosphere and assure Levy of his understanding.
• He continued, "Please take good care of my daughter. She is innocent and naive, still young in this world, and could easily become a target for many people." Hearing Andrew describe Sandra as innocent and young, Levy couldn't help but glance at him, wondering if her parents truly understood their daughter. In the short time he had spent with Sandra, he had already realized that she possessed a level of cunning and ruthlessness that surpassed many. Could such a person truly be considered innocent? Nonetheless, he agreed to Andrew's request and replied, "Don't worry, Father-in-law, I will protect her and ensure not even a single scratch comes upon her."
• Andrew then said, "Since you have married my daughter, you should call me Daddy from now on, and this home is your home. Your sole responsibility is to look after my daughter and take care of her." With those words, they exited the study room.
