The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2080

Gerald himself simply followed obediently, smiling awkwardly at Takuya as the duo walked past him…

Shortly after, Takuya—who was seated at the host seat—found himself staring at Gerald and Fujiko who were still holding hands as they sat in the guest seats…

Roughly guessing what all this hand holding was about, Takuya was first to say, “So… When exactly did both of you get into such a relationship?”

If he was to be honest, all this had happened so quickly that he was feeling slightly overwhelmed…

Regardless, upon hearing that, Fujiko released Gerald’s hand and stood up before declaring, “Father, I do not wish to sacrifice my happiness for Kai! After all, you, of all people, should know that my life will be ruined if I proceed with marrying him!”

“…I get where you’re coming from… But still…” muttered Takuya as he stared at his daughter.

“Father, please. I just wish to be with Gerald… With that in mind, please give us your blessings!” replied Fujiko as she sat down and continued holding Gerald’s hand…

“…Now that you know the whole story, please cancel the marriage contract with the Kanagawas so that I can be with Gerald…!” declared Fujiko as she clenched her fists while staring at her father with a determined gaze…

“While I’d love to just cancel it straight away, it’s easier said than done. After all, while I may be the head of the family, I can’t just make such a large decision without talking things through with the Kanagawas. Besides, you should be well aware that the other Futabas are going to oppose the idea as well,” replied Takuya with a sigh as he lit a cigarette…
