The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 825 Heron’s Adamancy

"I will support you financially!" Helin exaggeratingly replied, "Roger, I love you because of your personalities. You are optimistic, dedicated, and responsible enough to excel over your colleagues. Because of these, I have a desire for you.

Besides, I do not deny the fact that we have a big difference in terms of social status. But I think that made you strive harder and achieve getting ahead of your colleagues." Helin continued, "If my Dad remains stubborn, I will not hesitate to compete with him. As a last resort, you may take me anywhere you want to seek fortune. I strongly believe this matter will be perfectly solved!"

She brushed Roger's hand affectionately and continued, "Or better yet we may flee with my jewels and accessories. We can sell those to sustain our lifetime."

"Stop your fantasy!" Roger gathered his words as he caressed Helin's hair and then said, "You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and I think you are not destined to have a simple life with me!" Once, Roger had lived in poverty and had a miserable life.

"I am willing to face anything even suffering if that's what can bring us together!" Firmness was clearly noticeable on Helin's face as she expressed those words.

With that, Roger forced a smile and said, "Helin, you are too innocent and young to involve yourself in this stressful situation!"

Helin took again Roger's hand with a painted hope in her eyes and begged, "Roger, you don't have to worry because I will do everything to get my Dad's approval of our relationship."

"If... If he remains adamant, we may escape in a worthwhile manner. I believe we can clear up this situation!" Helin said with a gentle smile on her innocent face.

She gave Roger an endearing hug and said, "Now, I have to discuss it with my Dad. Just wait for the good news."

Gazing into Helin's back figure as she turned from him, Roger became delighted at the prospect of Helin arguing with Heron.

When Helin was walking towards Heron, she found him chatting happily with his friend.

Without the slightest consideration of the ongoing conversation, she directly went to his father and demanded time for a talk.

"Helin! You are impossible. That's very impolite of you to interfere with my talk with your senior." Heron expressed his disbelief and displeasure to Helin, "Please say hello to your senior... following the action of a well-nurtured girl."

"It is nice to meet you, Uncle." Helin forced a welcoming greeting and motioned her father to leave the scene on the disguise of her discomfort.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry that I have to leave now. Helin has been spoiled by me." Heron clearly expressed his apology.

"It doesn't matter. Take care of your daughter for now. We may still chat later."

On their way home, Helin was so upset. So upon entering her house, she immediately called her father to explain, "Dad, how could you do that?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about!" Heron frowned and replied bitterly, "Are you babbling?"

"Spare your hypocrisy! You fully understand what I am referring to. So stop being deceitful, Dad!" Helin stared straight to her father and said, "It is indecent of you to ask Roger out of my life." "Indecent?" Heron let out a cold smile and said, "I threatened Roger to your advantage."

"No! I know you are doing it for your own will." Helin replied amusingly, "You want me to marry into a family which will promote your career into a higher level, and ignore Roger because he is neither rich nor influential."

"Shut up!" Heron felt his kindness being taken for granted and opposed, "I expected Roger not to be submissive and timid."

"Dad, to put it honestly, I would rather break our family ties than lose Roger if you continue your wish to part us!" Helin responded harshly.

Helin thought her father would concede to her demand just like before.

However, Heron approached her with an unconcerned attitude by saying, "Helin, you must realize by no means would I accept your romantic relationship with Roger despite your efforts and demanding appeals. You must cut ties with him soon, otherwise..."

"Dad..." Helin was greatly challenged and so she said, "I can not figure out why you are so insistent on parting us. And, I do not see any flaws in Roger."

With a helpless look as she faced her father, she continued, "Roger has been doing everything by himself to get his position, overshadowing most of his colleagues, and will provide me with a happy married life. I hope you can bless us."

"My dear daughter..." Heron sighed as he moved closer to pat his daughter's shoulder affectionately and said, "You are too inexperienced to see through Roger's true nature which would hurt you beyond measure. And to tell you, I am experienced enough to see the real him. Think of my advice and stay away from him to avoid future troubles..."

"No! I won't split with Roger!" Helin broke free of her father's hand and swore to stay close to Roger under any circumstance.

She looked at her father with a growing bitterness and said harshly, "You could not see how ideal and worthy he is so you have no right to criticize him.

Honestly speaking, I am destined to be with his company no matter what will happen!" A cold smile came out of Helin's face and she threatened to betray her father who would hinder her love for Roger. "How dare you argue with me like this?" Feeling disappointed, Heron felt his love to his daughter backfired.

He looked at his daughter helplessly and said, "My dear daughter, since your mother's passing, I have showered love and care upon you in a bid to make up for your loss of maternal love. I catered for your every whim which resulted in your tenacity and vulnerability. Now there is one point you must understand that I won't permit your continued contact with Roger. He will bring more despair than blessings to you!"
