Arthur didn't respond immediately to the question, but he didn't plan to give her the answer.
Silence filled the room, and finally, he shifted the conversation. "Actually, the main reason I brought you here is to ask about River."
Hazel had anticipated this topic; it seemed Arthur was eager to get to the main point.
"Could you tell me where River is now? I know you have been in contact with her. I will let you go once you answer all of my questions."
Hazel looked at him closely. This was the moment that she had been waiting for all this time. This was the main reason why she was here in the first place.
"I will answer all of your questions, but I also have a question of my own," Hazel negotiated. This wouldn't be the first time for her to negotiate with her father, and she knew her way with Arthur.
Hearing that, Arthur contemplated the answer. He looked taken aback by the way Hazel was speaking.
