The future father-in-law is definitely gonna interrogate MC next chapter about his relationship with Chokki-chan. I'm pretty sure her dad will end up giving them his blessing, and this whole thing will just bring the two of them even closer together
For me this series is written well enough chapter-to-chapter with enough cuteness, small arcs of tension and release, and slow progress that I'm not in any rush to see a confession. Similar to childhood friend peak.I was hoping for a dazed confession to move things forward
