He appeared anxious as he held his phone in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw them.
He walked up to them, smiling. "Mr. Lawrence, | just called Ms. Blue. | didn't think she'd bail you out so soon." "Oh, that wasn't necessary." Frank smiled in turn. "Call Ms. Blue again. Tell her she doesn't have to come over." "Oh, okay." Nash quickly made the call.

Once Nash did so gingerly, Frida asked tiredly, "It's just been a day, and you've already gotten yourself into trouble?" "It's not my fault." Frank chuckled, glancing at Kat beside him. "A bunch of fools were attacking Nash. | had to help." "Nash...?" Frida was stumped when Frank mentioned Nash and sighed heavily. "You don't have to worry about him. He's not all what he seems." "That so?" Frank raised a brow, as the way Frida put it left his curiosity piqued.
"Anyway, just keep your hands to yourself, or you're going back to Riverton," Frida said coolly.
Frank pursed his lips in turn. "So I'm just supposed to bear with it if someone gives me shit?" "Yes!" Frida snapped angrily.
"No chance!" Frank refused right away.
"Watch it!" Friad snapped but ultimately sighed in resignation. "Look, the Turnbulls and the Lionhearts are both getting antsy lately, so you really should watch yourself or Ms. Turnbull might get it too. I'm begging you, please?" "Fine, I'll do my best." Frank sighed reluctantly—while he got tough whenever anyone snapped at him, he would always give in if they were reasonable.
"Good. I'm hanging up if there's nothing else," Frida said.
Once she hung up, Nash hurried to him and asked, "Mr. Lawrence, Ms. Blue—" "She told me to watch myself," Frank said, while shooting Kat an exasperated look.
"Oh, it's all our fault." Nash sighed audibly before wheeling on Kat with a frown. "Apologize to Mr. Lawrence right now! You started it!"

Pulling off her wig and striding impatiently into the cottage, she suddenly poked her head out and added coolly .“Right, and don't ever show up around my classmates. You embarrass me!" Kat was clearly upset with her father's attitude, even though he tried to save her earlier.
Nash watched as she left and sighed—he might have raised his daughter alone for years,but he had no idea how to handle her aside from being good to her. Somehow, that only got her unhappy, claiming that he was too weak.
Frank could only offer a few words of comfort. "She's a good kid. She'll understand that you mean well when she's older." "I can only hope." Nash sighed.
Frank could see that even if there was a rift between father and daughter, their kinship was still stronger than that.
