Chapter 1044 – You Do Not Own The Right to Accept It
Adrian looked away first. Then stood. "Very well."
Lux rose as well, smooth and immediate.
Adrian's gaze met his. "I will show you the project room."
Lux smiled. "Excellent."
Adrian's voice remained cold. "This does not mean I approve of you. Does not mean I accept your relationship with my daughter."
Lux's smile sharpened. "You do not own the right to accept it."
Adrian's face tightened.
Lux added, politely, "But I understand what you mean."
Adrian stared at him for another long second. Then turned toward the door. "Follow me."
Lux offered Naomi his hand.
She looked at it.
Then at him.
Her eyes were bright, hurt still there, but steadier now.
She took his hand.
Adrian saw. This time, he said nothing.
Lux walked beside Naomi toward the door.
Adrian led them down a long corridor lined with portraits.
