Chapter 421 - FOURTEEN YEARS OLD
"Papa, I can\'t come with you to the office anniversary party because the same night, I have a prom party at school," Alina said when Ramon reminded her of the dress she would wear to the company\'s anniversary party.
Ramon remembered it well, but unfortunately he refused to let his daughter attend the school prom.
Bad thoughts always haunted Ramon as his daughter was a teenager. He seemed much more overprotective and always felt that what he was doing wasn\'t enough to keep his daughter safe, especially from the teenage boys who tried to get close to her.
Hailee always said that what he was doing was too much and he shouldn\'t have acted like that, but Ramon couldn\'t shake the feeling off easily.
Especially this prom. He knew very well how those teenage boys would easily get involved in juvenile delinquency at prom and of course Ramon didn\'t want Alina to be in that kind of situation.
Ramon didn\'t know what he would do if he found his daughter in such a situation.
"No, you will be coming with us to the party at the company later." It was unusual for Ramon not to grant Alina\'s wish and it was also unusual for the two of them to fight over this kind of matter.
Therefore, when the two of them were involved in a cold war for two days straight, Hailee couldn\'t just sit back and immediately decided to discuss this with Ramon.
"No Hailee, I won\'t allow her to go to such an event." Ramon had just put on his white t-shirt to sleep.
Ramon\'s habits hadn\'t changed at all even now, he always wore his white t-shirt to sleep.
"Come here," Hailee said softly, and then patted her thigh, inviting Ramon to lay his head on her lap.
While dealing with Ramon, you must know when to be firm, gentle, persuasive and when to act as if you agree with his stubbornness before you reveal your true intentions.
Actually, Ramon wasn\'t that hard to predict. You just need to pay more attention to the man\'s mood, although the real problem lies in paying attention to Ramon\'s mood which was hard to comprehend.
"Come on, come here, I won\'t bite," Hailee teased Ramon, smiling innocently.
"I know what you want Hailee," Ramon said suspiciously. "You don\'t agree with my opinion of forbidding Alina to go to her school prom." Ramon narrowed his eyes when he saw Hailee laughing.
"I didn\'t even say anything," Hailee said, feeling like she was being blamed. "I just asked you to lie on my lap. You look tired and too tense for my liking. I\'ll just massage your head. Come here."
Hailee knew that this method always worked and Ramon knew that he wouldn\'t be able to refuse any request from his wife when she did that, but still he walked into the same trap over and over again.
Ramon could feel the tension in his body slowly dissipate as he laid his head on Hailee\'s lap and breathed in her soothing scent. Especially when his wife\'s little hands began to run gently through his hair and apply just the right amount of pressure.
"Yeah, I think you have a point and your concern is very reasonable regarding the school prom Alina is going to attend…"
And the persuasion began. Hailee would start her sentence by agreeing with Ramon\'s fears and then she would slowly speak her mind and make Ramon look at an issue from a different perspective.
After that, Hailee would emphasize how reasonable her opinion was and give some options that Ramon could discuss with Alina if they agreed.
Making Ramon see the advantages if he agreed to Alina\'s wishes and also see the disadvantages he would receive if he didn\'t agree to it.
Of course the most important thing Hailee emphasized was; If this continued, Alina could get used to getting angry at her father instead of discussing problems and finding solutions with Ramon.
Well, it always worked because the thing Ramon was most afraid of was; not liked by his own daughter...
====================
"Is that true? Mom, you are not lying, right?!" Alina exclaimed happily, her face lit up with joy when Hailee said that Ramon finally agreed to let Alina attend her school prom later.
"Yes, but you have to talk to your father first with a hug," Hailee returned Alina\'s hug and kissed the top of her head. She had grown into a beautiful teenager and of course Hailee was worried, but she didn\'t want to be a parent who was too rigid, forbidding her daughter from doing things that she wanted to do.
As long as Alina knew her limits and could take responsibility, which Hailee firmly believed she could, then Hailee felt that she would be just fine.
"Certain!" Alina exclaimed cheerfully. She would talk to her father and accept whatever her father asked of her.
Therefore, when night fell and Ramon was in the shooting range at their house, Alina entered the room and found Ramon trying to check the ammunition in his weapon.
This was not unusual, because Alina had been used to practicing shooting since she was a child. Pyro taught her.
"Papa, mama said that you agreed for me to go," Alina said. She smiled and hugged her father and immediately the cold war between them ended.
And although Ramon was very relieved that Alina was no longer angry with him, he wouldn\'t show any gentleness this time.
"You know that there are a bunch of rules and restrictions that you have to follow, right?" Ramon asked, rubbing his daughter\'s head.
Her head already reached his chest. And, she would continue to grow. It felt like only yesterday Ramon held his daughter in his arms and saw how small her hands were.
But as it turned out,? without them realizing, fourteen years had already passed and those times have become a very precious memory for Ramon.
"Of course, I will agree to everything."
And then, Ramon spent the next hour telling Alina what the rules and restrictions were, repeating them to emphasize important points, while his daughter listened intently.
Until at a point where Alina cut Ramon\'s sentence.
"But of course you know that I\'m going to the prom with my boyfriend," Alina said.
This annoyed Ramon. Of course he knew, and this was also one of the reasons why he forbade it.
Ramon then fired his last bullet at the target at a distance that hit the target\'s head. "Who\'s he?" he bit out furiously.
