Daddy, I Don’t Want Chapter 5

I doubted having heard anything at all when an unfamiliar voice reached my ears.

Huh? My father responded to .

It had been a long ti since I heard him speak. I was taken aback for a second before coming back to my senses. When I realized what he had just said, I gritted my teeth.

Mikhail, that bastard! He said he had to hurry back because of training. He lied to !

Upon realizing this, I beca even more irked. I felt the urge to swear at Mikhail for how he had treated

but quickly controlled my emotions.

Calm down, Jubelian. Hes no longer in my life. Lets be cool about this.

Although this was my second life, the part-ti experiences in my first life had taught

not to get worked up so quickly. I recalled a ti I had to deal with an annoying custor, and controlled my expression.

You ca ho early today, my father said.

Ah, now that I think about it

In the past, Jubelian used to co ho late because she was busy following Mikhail. But since I had broken up with him today and co ho straight away, I was back much earlier than usual.

Should I tell him the truth?

Similar to the original story, my father seed to hold Mikhail in high regard. He often made things convenient for him and treated him with relative kindness. Since I was useless as his only child, he may have been thinking about making Mikhail his successor.

I burst out laughing.

If I was anything like the past Jubelian, I wouldnt have been able to tell him the truth. I wouldve been too afraid that he might hate

for making a mistake. However, I had learned sothing from Jubelians past; trying to be loved by my father was futile.

I stared at his blue eyes, which were similar to mine, and spit out. We parted ways.

Although I didnt ntion Mikhails na, he probably knew who I was referring to. The creases in his face proved this.

Why? It was a short question laden with discontent.

I understood why he asked

this. If Mikhail beca his son-in-law, he wouldnt have to worry about the succession issue. But now that we had broken up, I had ruined his plans. Even so, it was a two-person relationship that I had to take care of myself.

I didnt want to spend my life with soone who didnt have feelings for .

As soon as I finished speaking, his face crumpled with horror. It seed like he was astonished that I had broken up with a man of such talent just because of pride. His narrowed eyes seed to reproach . Although my heart tightened, it didnt ache. I wasnt a child who could beco hurt by his words anymore.

I simply want to get married to soone who will love , Father. I want to be happy.

Actually, I considered being single for the rest of my life but thought it would be better to hide my intentions. If I offended him even more, he might hand

a dagger like he did in the original novel. I didnt realize this before, but I knew now; constant indifference was better than cruel abandonnt.

Ill live quietly without bothering you, so please leave

alone like you always did.

I wouldve cried at such a thought in the past, but now I didnt feel sad at all. It was as if all of my emotions dried up. I stared at my father as he turned around without a response.

Does that an that he doesnt want to talk to his pathetic daughter anymore?

He had ignored

plenty of tis before, so I wasnt offended. I stared at his retreating back and sighed in relief.

Ah, Im going to go up to my room and rest.

I felt very tired because a lot of things had happened today.

Jubelians maid, rilyn, gulped nervously.

The reins that used to keep Lady Floyen occupied are gone now

She had been able to breathe these past few days because Jubelian had been in a good mood. But it was a different story now that she had broken up with Mikhail. The news was both sudden and unexpected.

Im in trouble now.

Jubelian, otherwise known as Lady Floyen, was a very beautiful woman. It was rewarding to help dress her in beautiful clothes and accessories, but her emotional ups and downs made rilyns job very difficult. She would freely scream and curse when she felt upset. When she broke an expensive tea set or ripped her clothes in anger, all the maids would beco extrely anxious. They were terrified that they might be treated like that one day.

rilyn spoke carefully to avoid provoking Jubelian.

I will help you change out of your clothes, Lady Floyen.

Jubelians bright eyes, which shined like sapphires, looked at her indifferently. rilyn gulped nervously.

Did I say sothing wrong?

In that mont, a subtle smile appeared on Jubelians face. rilyns gaze fixated on her smile, almost as if she was possessed.

Shes beautiful when she smiles.

rilyn was still blankly staring at the Jubelians face when she heard her speak.

Why are you standing still, rilyn? I thought you said you would help

change out of my clothes.

Her ladys smile was gone. rilyn ca to her senses, and realizing what she had done, turned pale with fear.

What do I do? I think I just got on her nerves!

Perspiration ford around her neck and her insides turned cold. She couldnt find the courage to lift her head.

At that mont, she heard a clear voice speak over her bowed head.

Actually rilyn, you dont have to help . Just prepare a bath for

please.
