NovelEnglishChapter 248 Eden tossed the question back at me. "What do you think?" I smiled faintly and said, "Then I'll take my leave." With that, I returned the bouquet to him.
Eden raised his hand, but he didn't take the flowers. Instead, he plucked a petal and smelled it. "So, what exactly do you need to see my dad for?" His question madefrown slightly, I wondered if he was changing his mind.
Previously, when I mentioned needing to see his father for an appraisal, he seemed to think it was a treasure. Now, it seemed he understood I had other reasons.
Since I was already here, there was no point in hiding anything. I decided to be honest and recount everything. Eden listened, then said with a serious tone, "In that case, you should leave." I felt something was off, "Why?" "If you're here to see my dad about this matter, it will be pointless. You won't get any answers from him. He won't tell you anything."

Eden shook his head slightly. He looked atwith a sense of helplessness. "You're really stubborn. Alright. I'll call my dad first. If he agrees to meet you, I'll take you in." With that, Eden took out his phone. Then, he dialed a number and set it to speakerphone.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to bring someone, a woman, to see you," Eden said. He avoided mentioning my identity directly.
"Don't bring any random women to upset me." Arthur's voice grew harsh.
Eden looked atwith a smirk and said, "I wouldn't bring anyone who would offend you. She's a very good girl." Arthur fell silent on the phone, and my breath tightened.
Just as I hoped he might agree, he said, "Let's do it another day. I have important guests today." "Then we'll go in and wait for you. We can see you once you're done," Eden said. Although his manner was a bit off, his words were quite touching me. He was really trying his best to help me.
"Do you not understand what I'm saying?" Arthur snapped before abruptly ending the call.

"I don't know about that. My dad's life revolves around money and friends." His humblebrag was quite something, but I could tell Eden didn't want to share more.
Just then, his phone rang. After glancing at the caller ID, Eden looked atand said, "Derick knows you're here to see me?" It seemed the call was from Derick. Since Eden hadn't answered it, I wondered how he knew Derick's call was related to me..
I forced a smile and remained silent.
