What?
Ruby Sheldon's eyes almost popped out.
If it wasn't out of consideration for etiquette, she would have loved to publicly clean her ears to make sure she hadn't heard wrong.
Since she could remember, in all those years, Aiden Sheldon had never, not once, said such "peace-making" words to her!
Anyone who slighted her would face the combined retaliation of Aiden Sheldon and Autumn Stetford!
She was long used to such treatment.
And now?
What about not letting her suffer any grievances?
What about her being his most beloved daughter?
She had suffered such a huge grievance, yet he didn't stand up for her?!
This blow was too severe; Ruby Sheldon felt like the sky had fallen in an instant.
Her father no longer loved her as his life's treasure...
This realization almost destroyed all of Ruby Sheldon's beliefs.
Her heart was in turmoil, thumping wildly, her eyes started to redden, her nose felt a twinge, she wanted to cry.
