Lydia laughed hysterically at her father, she could not help but to fathom and become disappointed in him regarding the whole situation. According to her he was pretending to care about her, but deep down he was till only concerned about his reputation. It enraged Lydia as much as the expressions on his face made her go berserk.
"Haha, you really don't get tired of all this pretense, uh?"
The vampiress deliberately pretended to wipe off a tear from her left eye as she tilted her head. It was not usual for her to be elated this much since all she had seen was suffering up till now. Lydia was sure that he could never change and it could never earn her his attention.
"You never believed in me, right?"
Coulter leaned against the sofa and was sure that whatever he will say would never affect her. Thus he made sure to divert her attention so Lydia could be negotiated. If he managed to make her happy it would be easy to force her to drop the idea of bringing her mate to home.
"I really wish you could see how badly have tried my best to make it up to you."
He sounded saddened in the hallow voice which made Lydia think a bit and ponder upon her behaviour towards him. She low key felt bad how she had been treating him but at the same time the woman could not deny the absence of her father.
Coulter looked straight into her eyes with a soft gaze, as he scoffed a bit the woman widened her eyes with a meaningful gaze. She had no clue what he was trying to do but one thing was certain that Coulter was not going to comply to her request.
"Oh really now? Do you really regard sending flowers and chocolates to me as making it up to me"
She shouted at him acknowledging that whatever he was going to say would be enough to make her vulnerable. But she had to stay firm and stand on her demand, because it was the least thing she could do to provide Kayden a good life ahead.
Since she was not in the authority to make him study in some higher institute with elite class. Thus the woman insisted on elevating his lifestyle and giving him some perks from elite class. After all she belonged to A sect and it was way different from what life Kayden was living.
The woman shouted at him with all her might as she snarled at Coulter with her fangs drawn out. Lydia was not willing to back off from her statement or make Coulter distract her from the actual topic. But she also could not den the dire need to say those horrible things to him.
"Where they enough to cover your absence, huh? Were they able to make it up to my father's physical absence?"
She shouted at him without bothering to worry about the consequences of misbehaving in front of an alpha. The woman crept at the edge of the sofa as she grabbed the armrest. Lydia on the other hand was sure that Coulter had no explanation about the matter.
"I don't want to waste my time again by repeating all those things. I'm fed up of this conversation already. I know you are doing this just to make me spend more time with you. But believe me, Lydia, don't hurt yourself with this mate thingy."
Coulter tried to be precise about his intentions, which she could comprehend. The woman was waiting for his reply so she could know he accepted to fulfil her demand. But perhaps Coulter was not going to change his mind, after all what she was commanding was not a child's play.
"I will give you attention and will stay by your side. But you don't have to do this."
He finally stood up from the sofa and walked towards Lydia, Coulter crouched down in front of her. And reached for her hand, he could not believe what had happened to his innocent daughter. He had never imagined her to turn out like this, which was obviously all his fault.
"I didn't know when you get this stubborn, and what did it even happen."
Coulter lowered his head and stared at the floor with guilt and a heavy heart. She looked at him trying to find out any hint of lie in his tone or eyes. But when he lifted his teary eyes up to plead to his daughter, Lydia was genuinely taken aback by his face expressions.
She did not expect that from him and it could not be simply swallowed easily. The woman definitely felt something deep down in her heart. And was moved by the gesture of love and concern, thus she looked back at him.
The alpha slowly called out to her in a shallow tone not knowing how she would react. But he did expect her to forgive him and let him make it up to her, he just intended her drop the request of bringing her mate at home.
"But I can't let you jump into the fire when I know it would only hurt you. You haven't seen the world, dear. But I have and I know that guy is just using you for his status elevation."
Coulter tried to explain to her with a genuine expression making her understand that she was being used by the mate. Although the man was sure about it despite knowing he mate's name or any information about him. It was not as if his assumption and calculations were wrong, he was right in his premise and that was exactly what Kayden wanted.
"Why don't you see it, love? I'm sure you are not in love but its just an attraction and the illusion of charm of emotional impulse which is making you do all this stuff."
He explained to her and gently squeezed her hands to show his genuine emotions. It was hard to say whether his concern was fake or not.
