348 Chapter 350 Father's Helplessness
The light fragrance of the tea made the bamboo in the room less pungent.
In front of the table, Joe Tempo looked like a boy who had his first blind date. He was a little restless and looked around.
He couldn’t help rubbing his thighs and glanced at his daughter embarrassedly.
Jo took a sip of tea and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Joe Tempo faltered.
He pushed the bowl of lamb soup on the table towards Jo in fear and said, “Come on, have some lamb soup first. It’s your favorite food when you were a child.”
But Jo didn’t eat. She just looked at him silently.
Joe Tempo was embarrassed.
” I just want to ask you how are you. After all, you haven’t been back for three years. I… I’m your father anyway. I…”
“Will a father engage his thirteen-year-old daughter to a sixty-year-old man?”
Jo said in a cold voice, “And you sent two daughters in one time.
What a good father! You sent us to an old man who was older than you.”
‘Alas? Is that true?’
Hearing this, Andrew was curious. He stared at the father and daughter curiously.
Especially Joe Tempo, Andrew wanted to hear his explanation.
Because judging from his current performance, he loved his daughter.
Sure enough, these words made Joe Tempo look embarrassed.
He pursed his lips and said after a long time, “Jo, listen to me. There is a reason. I… I…”
He couldn’t finish his words.
Joe Tempo was in a dilemma, which made Andrew feel sorry for him.
“Forget it. You don’t have to say anything.”
Jo took a deep breath and said, “As your daughter, I’m so unlucky. I came back this time to pay tribute to our ancestors, not to you.
Let’s just pretend that we don’t know each other. I’ll leave as soon as the ceremony finished, and then…”
“I was forced!”
Hearing Jo’s cruel and cold words, Joe Tempo finally couldn’t help saying, “He is the director of the Magic Association.
The elders wanted to please him.
Do you know that? Our Joe clan hasn’t a tutor mage yet.
Our opponent was the greatest tutor mage, and he was very likely to become a mage tutor king in the next ten years. The most important thing was that he had the bloodline of the reincarnation of God.
If you could marry him, the baby you gave birth to would not be bad in talent.
Maybe fifty years later, our Joe clan will have our tutor mage.”
Joe Tempo explained at once.
However, what he got in return was Jo’s disgust.
“Well, it turns out that, after all, it’s for interests.” Jo sighed with disappointment.
“No, I…”
“Well, stop.”
Hearing this, Andrew thought it was enough, so he chipped in.
“First of all, uncle, there must be something wrong with you.”
Andrew commented, “I don’t know the Joe clan’s rules. In my opinion, love should be free.
No matter for what reason, it’s your fault to betroth your two daughters to one person without asking for their opinion.”
“But what can I do? It’s our mahathera’s decision. I have no right to participate.”
“Have you fought for it?”
“I…” Joe Tempo was rendered speechless.
“If you try your best, Jo won’t be able to say anything.”
Joe Tempo said excitedly, “Do you know the consequences of openly rejecting the mahathera?”
“Is it more serious than Jo’s resistance? She has been resisting firmly till now.”
“I…” Joe Tempo was rendered speechless.
Andrew looked at Jo and said, “Your father has no choice. I can understand.
You don’t have to force your father like this. He may be a little timid, but at least he didn’t sell you voluntarily. Anyway, you can call him Dad.”
Jo turned her head away and murmured as if she would cry at any time.
Joe Tempo sighed and shook his head like rattles. “It’s not that easy.
Since the engagement was delayed, the director Gellis would show up in person.
It was too late to say anything now.”
Joe Tempo said and looked at Jo desperately, “I’m sorry. I should have argued for it. Dad hurt you.”
Jo said resentfully, “If apology works, mom wouldn’t have been locked up until now.”
Hearing this, Joe Tempo trembled violently.
He lowered his head, unable to say a word.
“Uncle…”
“Leave him alone!”
Andrew wanted to say more, but Jo held Andrew’s hand.
Joe Tempo raised his head and saw the two hands holding together. He immediately understood something.
“Gellis won’t give up so easily. Joe is extraordinary, so he won’t force her. But he is determined to get Jo, or he won’t come this time.”
Andrew smiled and said, “I don’t care. I’ve beaten even more powerful ones. I don’t afraid of him.”
Joe Tempo was confused.
‘Gellis was a senior official of the Magic Association.
Everyone had to bow to him.
Why did this young man look not afraid at all?
Pretending to be calm?
No, if it was fake, then his acting skill was too good.’
“Let’s go back, uncle,” Andrew asked abruptly.
“What?”
He raised his head and look at Andrew. Although there was still a smile on his face, his eyes were as bright as swords.
“We are not the same person. You won’t understand me.
If you can’t protect Jo, then I’ll protect her. So, just stay aside and watch. Don’t get in the way.
For the sake of Jo, I will solve all the troubles one by one.”
‘What a heroic spirit!’
Joe Tempo felt powerful strength when Andrew said this.
Those seemingly casual words contained an enormous aura.
Joe Tempo was the elder, but facing Andrew, Joe Tempo had an illusion that he was weaker than Andrew.
Ten minutes later.
Joe Tempo left the room.
His back was covered with cold sweat.
Andrew told him a lot about the ceremony.
The more they talked, the more Joe Tempo felt that this young man was not simple.
His aura was like a surging river, surging, but calm and restrained.
Joe Tempo felt that he was not facing a young man, but a giant dragon that was about to fly.
‘Why? This guy looks ordinary and has no special features at all. Why do I feel safe when I am with him?’
With this doubt, Joe Tempo left the room uneasily.
After that, Andrew got familiar with the room.
At five o’clock in the evening.
The maid brought the dinner on time.
There were top-grade raw fish pieces of tuna, top-grade tempura, and delicious porridge noodles.
The drink was lemonade water.
From every angle, it was quite a Leizhou style.
“Well, Andrew.”
After dinner, Jo suddenly spoke to him.
“What’s wrong?”
“Do you want to hang out?”
“What?”
“It’s the first time you come to my home. I have to show you around and let you familiar with the environment.”
Andrew was confused.
‘How could Jo be so active?’
Without thinking too much, Andrew agreed, “Okay, thank you.”
Seeing this, Signa rolled her eyes. She turned around and lay down on the bed. “I’m tired. I’m going to bed. You can go now.”
