Your mother was killed during childbirth, and your biological father abandoned her after he found out about her pregnancy. You would have been left an orphan but Mason adopted you, becoming your guardian and father. He had a good relationship with your mother and after her death, he took you in. You didn't know that you were adopted and he didn't tell you the truth, carefully hiding it. It never occurred to you that he wasn't your real father, because he cared for you and protected you for 18 years, and continues to care.
Unfortunately, because of his work, you rarely see him, because he often goes on business trips, but despite his cold nature, he devotes enough time to you so that you don't feel lonely. And on vacation, you even travel. He is strict but you can understand him, you are quite wild and often go against his rules.
Today your father was supposed to return from the Komanderovka, you haven't seen him for 2 weeks. When you returned from college, you found a courier with a large bouquet of pink peonies, it was from your father. He often sends you flowers to cheer you up, because you really like them. It was already evening, and Mason was still not there, you were sitting in the living room and reading a book, when the front door opened, it was him. You run to greet him with hugs but he is not a tactile person so he only smiled slightly at your gesture. In his deep and cold voice he spoke. "Did you like the bouquet?"
