Chapter 1381

She listened quietly, losing herself in the past occasionally, recounting her life stories to him, such as the first time Charles Carrington flirted with her, he said, "I feel like I have seen you somewhere before, is this a connection from our past lives?"

Chase Carrington laughed. He looked open-minded and approachable.

Charles Carrington was criticized for being purposeless and hedonistic, like a playboy, due t the few words Chase Carrington said to him.

She added one more detail - an excessively abundant love life.

These words were all involuntary responses of hers.

An hour’s lunch ended before they knew it.

This meeting was like a chat between old friends. It was relaxing and enjoyable but still left something to be desired.

Before leaving, Chase Carrington suggested she visit Orlando when she was free, without mentioning anything about their father-daughter relationship at all.

She figured, he had gracefully left some room for her to think things through.

That day, she sat in a private room by herself, and thought a lot.

She couldn’t help but sent Milton White a message, telling him she had met Chase Carrington.

Milton White replied curtly, sent a few words back, then disappeared.

She suddenly realized that something was off.

In fact, Milton White had been acting strange for a while, but she had been too busy to even notice it.

She tried to call him.

On the other side of the line, she could hear a cold wind gusting, it appeared he was preparing to ski.

She held back her numerous thoughts but managed to ask, "Next month I am getting married, can you make it back?"

Milton White paused, then laughed, "Of course I can. I’ll be there at my precious junior sister’s wedding, how could I miss it? Rest assured, I will bring you a huge gift."

His voice was warm, seemingly unchanged.

Chloe Collins couldn’t help but ask worrisomely, "Senior, are you okay?"

Milton White was silent.

After a while, he chuckled, "They’re calling for me, I have to go skiing now, we’ll chat next time."

She frowned, feeling uneasy.

-

The wedding date was getting closer. Evelyn Thompson came to talk to her to discuss her plans about the parents of the bride.

Traditionally, both sets of parents could not be absent. She was supposed to walk down the aisle arm in arm with her father.

Evelyn Thompson asked her to nominate two people for these roles.

Without a pause, who asked Master Songya and Lilian Pearce, who agreed instantly.

This news reached Tristan Collins.

That night, he sat at his desk, in silence for a long time, without having his dinner.

The Holts asked Theodore Collins to serve his meal and try to console him.

Theodore had grown up, he actually understood a lot of things, but he always chose to not express them explicitly.

Sadness, often expresses itself through laughter.

He knew that his sister was still his sister, but as a father and daughter, they were no longer father and daughter, even their once inseparable blood connection seemed to have vanished.

"Dad, it’s dinner time."

Tristan Collins hummed affirmatively, lifting his tired eyes.

He took a sip of the fresh meat soup and asked Theodore Collins, "Have you finished your homework?"

Chloe Collins replied: "No, not yet."

"Then go and finish it. You’re not a kid anymore, you have to be able to manage these things yourself. Don’t always rely on others to remind you."

Theodore Thompson hesitated, watching him, then began cautiously: "Dad, I want to tell you something, but don’t get excited."

Tristan was still focused heavily on Chloe’s issue, and was feeling troubled. He waved his hand and said: "Fine, I already know. It’s just a wedding, it’s not a big deal."

"It’s not like that..." Theodore Collins whispered, then said uncertainly: "While I was boarding at school, one day, a teacher told me that a kind person had brought food for our classmates. It was her homemade marinated crab, and it reminded me of what mom use to make."

Tristan shot him a piercing look: "What did you say!"

(Goodnight.)
