Chapter 21

Sebastian forcefully shrugged off Ronan's hand. He said icily, "While she may be your daughter, she's also my wife now. "I might not have had a say before, but from the instant we got married, she's under my care and protection. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on her will answer to me." A charming smile graced Sebastian's lips. "If you acknowledge me as your son-in-law, I'll naturally respect you as my father-in-law. But if you choose not to, then I see no reason to indulge you." "You… you…" Ronan stuttered, at a loss for words as he pointed a trembling finger at Sebastian. Sebastian's sharp gaze landed on his face, and he coldly said, "I detest being pointed at. If you wish to keep your finger, I'll happily help you remove it." Startled, Ronan swiftly retracted his hand. He was well aware of Sebastian's boldness and strength. "You've picked yourself quite the man. I'm tempted to give him a good smack myself!" Ronan's tone dripped with anger as he directed his gaze toward Lillian.
