That's why he asked him to meet him.

In his heart, Eric couldn't help but wonder, ""That explained why he had been summoned.A question lingered in Eric's mind, "Why would Tina's father suddenly look forseek me?""

"" "So, you're the personone dating my daughter, Eric?"" Mr. Gory spoke while staring at Willow Lake, appearing calm, leaving only his silhouette for Eric.

""Mr.?" His voice was calm, his silhouette the only thing visible to Eric."Mr. Gory, you're quite well-informed," Eric responded, shaking his head with a smile. The fact that Tina's father had discovered their pretend relationship so quickly was amusing."Anything that concerns my daughter, concerns me," Mr. Gory, you seem to be well-informed. You know about this."" Eric couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

He and Tina were just pretending to be a couple, yet her father found out so quickly!

"" unwavering."Rippling waves, a beautiful sight."" Although," Mr. Gory didn't know why Eric was asking this question, he still answered.

responded, unsure of Eric's intentions.With his hands clasped behind his back, Eric lookedgazed at the lake and slowly said, "", his voice calm. "You're right, it's a beautiful sight. But unfortunately, that's only the surface. You're unaware of the hidden scenesdepths beneath the water. It's similar to your understanding of me, Mr. Gory.""
