All Chapters of Your Dad's Perfect: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

I'm looking at the building, and Alaric is watching me. After I managed to drink the smoothie, I planned to relax. Apparently, Alaric had other ideas, and instead, I found myself in the doctors.Now, though, I have tablets to take—ones that will hopefully prevent me from getting sick. They might not stop the nausea, but I won't be sick. That is what the doctor said anyway.After the doctor, he took me to get a dress for the evening as if to test my mental state and prove a point. His expression was constantly amused at the awkwardness that radiated from within me while I tried to put away my issues about his money.Then, on the way out, he said well done, like I passed a damn test."You know you won't know for sure if the tablets are working if we don't go in, baby girl. I'm sure Lucas and Bex will be waiting." His hand reaches for mine, and I nod.Getting out, we walk in, and the hostess guides us to the table where Bex and Lucas are. The place is lavish. It's as if he thought of the

I awake to find myself alone. Alaric is already at work, and his absence is palpable. His decision to skip work yesterday still lingers in my mind, a subtle indication that something might be amiss.Sure, someone set fire to the cars, but he had always been in and out when it came to work. Yesterday, he barely even peered at his phone to check on work.I quickly shower and prepare for the day, making my way downstairs.Grabbing the bottle from my bag, I take a tablet and consider breakfast options. Thankfully, the medication seems to have quelled the worst of my morning sickness. I didn’t experience any discomfort during our dinner last night, which is a welcome relief.As I start cooking, I hear footsteps approaching. I turn to find Jake entering the room. He smiles at me before sitting down.“Care for some breakfast?” I offer, knowing he’s unable to fend for himself.He chuckles and takes a seat. “Sure, thanks, Ruby. You look different today.”His comment catches me off guard, and I

As we step inside the club, I can’t help but smile at him, noticing how he keeps getting distracted by me.“I’m hating my choice in agreeing now, baby girl,” he remarks, his words eliciting laughter from me. “Come on.” He wraps his arm around my waist, guiding me further inside inside. I stand there, momentarily stunned; the club is nothing like the ones local to me.The foyer greets us with large desks for the receptionists, exuding an air of sophistication. To the right, I spot what appears to be a stylish bar area, complete with pulsating music and low lighting. To the left, a sleek restaurant beckons guests, its ambience distinct and almost seductive.I take in the surroundings, feeling excited and curious about this. This is a far cry from the usual place I visit, and I can’t help but wonder what surprises the night holds for us.“Alaric,” a woman’s voice calls out, and we turn to see her approaching. She moves towards us with confidence, wrapping her arms around him in a greetin

Callum and Alex stand smiling at us. My eyes are on Alaric, and he appears to be arguing with his father; Jake joins them as well. I feel bad for running."You should really go help." I turn to Alex, or is it Callum? God my head hurts after five minutes, I feel for their mum."I agree. Grandad is never happy, but he was smiling at you, so he likes you. There's a chance he will stop picking on Uncle Alaric if you're there." One of them speaks, and I nod.Walking over, I reach them."Don't Jake." Alaric looks at him."They don't know the whole story." Jake looks at him. Are they arguing? I step closer, and they stop, and all turn to me."Hi, Ruby." William smiles at me, but his gaze slices towards Alaric."Oh, for God's sake, Grandad. I cheated on her multiple times, hurt her, and essentially used her to get money from Dad. It's not like I was a perfect boyfriend, and they slept together." Jake looks at him, and Alaric stares at Jake."You didn't say?" William looks at Alaric."Because

As the first rays of morning light filtered through the curtains, Alaric’s gentle voice stirred me from my slumber.“Good morning, baby girl,” he murmured, his words carrying a warmth that spread through me like sunshine. My lips curled into a soft smile as I turned to face him. He was already awake and grinning at me with that familiar twinkle in his eyes.“You have a busy day today,” he announced, his tone laced with excitement.“Why?” I queried, a hint of confusion tugging at the corners of my mind. After all, I hadn’t made any plans for the day, so why did it suddenly seem so full?Alaric set down a steaming cup of coffee before me, accompanied by a plate of breakfast, and then met my gaze with a knowing look. “Bex and Ivy are still here, and you’re going shopping,” he stated matter-of-factly.“Shopping?” I echoed, my mind racing to catch up with the unexpected turn of events. Shopping wasn’t exactly on my agenda—I had intended to head home and start packing for me to move in here
