C60 Her Father Is The Minister Of Police
That night, despite everything that had happened, I still told my parents about Alicia.
My mother, Mary, looked pleasantly surprised. “Child, you’re really growing,” she said with a soft smile. “Who would have thought this day would come?”
My father, Quinton, only laughed. “A beautiful woman and these two brats? Impossible.” Then he turned serious for a moment. “This woman you speak of… she has no ill intentions, right? You trust her?”
Without hesitation, I replied, “Yes Dad. I trust her. And her father is the Minister of Police.” The words came out too quickly. Almost like I was trying to impress them.
The moment I realized what I said, I immediately regretted it. But it was too late. Both of my parents burst out laughing.
Still, my father’s expression changed slightly afterward. “Be careful, son,” he said calmly. “Big people usually come with bigger trouble.”
That night, I went to bed early.
