Find Me English translation

"I will not have a single woman take over my property."

The loud voice echoed all over the house, leaving Baker Celine dumbfounded with her eyes open and her mouth drawn backward.

It was as though she had received a slap directly on her face and there was no way she could have dodged that one.

"What did you just say, daddy?" Baker still mustered up the courage to ask and Mr. Lawson, having all that anger in him, turned his back for a second as if he was the one who had received such wicked words.

The maids were all in the kitchen as they were scared of the turmoil that was going on in the living room. Baker was having a very huge controversy with her father and it had been going on for several weeks.

She has been denying giving up to her father's demands for some time now and the old man was only getting tougher and tougher on her till that faithful evening when everything had exploded to her face.

"If you cannot reconsider your decision, then we have nothing more to talk about as far as this matter is concerned", Mr. Lawson raised his voice at his daughter.

" Papa, you cannot force me to do what I do not want, I am an adult, and I have always done everything you have ever asked of me," Baker cried out but her father was a strict man with very tough decisions on his daughter. To him, only his words were final in his house and the one of his daughter.

Not worrying about what she might feel as a result of his incessant pressure to find a man or better still present one to him, Baker had become a shadow of herself as all she ever yarned for is to make her father proud of her.

The argument only got worse as her attempts to get her father to reason with her fell on deaf ears. Wanting to say another word, Mr. Lawson's health got affected as he could be seen holding his chest with his wife's hand.

"Papa, what is wrong, help someone, nanny Lucy, I need help here," she screamed out imploring for help and the maids came out including her nanny as well. She could feel her father's pain and with tears that were running out of her eyes, she begged her father not to leave her but Mr. Lawson, looking at her with so much disgust in his eyes, he spoke out gently as though he was about to give up the ghost and unexpected to her, the words fell out like an atomic bomb that was released on the ground and the casualties were unaccountable.

" I cannot accept to pass down my legacy to an unattached woman, so if you do not present a man to me in the next couple of weeks, I will be forced to hand over my heritage to my only brother, your uncle."

Baker, lifted her head in the direction of her nanny, after listening to what her father had just said, and not being able to believe what her ears, had just said, she brought back her gaze to her father and without offering a word, she left his hand and turned to the seat to pick up her bag.

Baker looked like a trinket that had been disconnected and her steps became smaller as she walked out of the door looking like a ghost.

"Mr. Lawson, that was not a reasonable thing to have said to her, she might do something to herself," nanny Lucy spoke out but Baker's father seemed not to care about her as his sole priority was for her to do what he wanted her to do.
