Chapter 917 I’m Serious About Liking Him
As Walter listened to Eunice’s words, he raised an eyebrow at her. “Oh, really?” His tone was full of doubt.
After all, he knew his own daughter. Whenever she set her eyes on someone, she would be keen for a short period before getting bored with them; she was not a patient person.
Listening to his words, Eunice knew her father didn’t believe her as she watched his casual attitude. At that moment, the smile on her face faltered, and she looked at him seriously. “Daddy, I’m serious. I have my eyes on him.”
Among all the men she had met, Nicholas was the first who didn’t fall for her charm and had rejected her multiple times. Even if she were to set aside the desire to subdue him, Nicholas’ characteristics also tally with the requirements of a husband that she desired.
However, Walter didn’t know any of these. Even though he saw the seriousness in Eunice, he was still skeptical about it as she had fooled him for all these years.
A few years ago, he wanted her to settle down with someone, as girls around her age had already formed their families. However, Eunice was still the same as always, mingling with different kinds of men every day; there were many rumors about her. At that time, he tried to discipline her, but she turned a deaf ear to his words.
Thinking about it, he waved her off snappishly. “Okay, stop fooling with me. Hurry up and go to bed.”
Hearing his words, Eunice was speechless as she knew that he still didn’t believe her. At this moment, she suddenly regretted going overboard with playing with others’ feelings these few years, as it made Walter lose trust in her, even though she was telling him the truth this time.
Then, she lowered her head and looked into his eyes with sincerity. “I’m not joking, Daddy.”
As Walter heard her words, he was startled at first before huffing. “I’ll only believe you if you bring him back to see me.”
He was not opposed to the idea of Nicholas being his son-in-law, as everyone knew that Nicholas was an outstanding man. With that being said, he would be a fine match for Eunice.
When Eunice heard his words, she sighed and shrugged. “I also intended to bring him home. That’s why I came for your help.” As she spoke, she linked her arms against Walter’s with affection. “Please help me, Daddy. I tried to come in contact with him, but he kept on rejecting me. I don’t know what to do anymore,” she whined.
After looking at her with a moment of hesitation, Walter eventually gave in. “How can I help you with this matter?”
“Maybe you can bring me along with you whenever there are any events that Nicholas has participated in. I’m sure he will be tempted if I keep appearing around him.” As Eunice spoke, there was persistence in her eyes.
Looking into her eyes, Walter was shocked.
Is she for real this time? Has she fallen in love with Nicholas? After all, I don’t see her spending so much effort on any men she dated before. Moreover, she even asked for my help.
As Walter thought about it, he thought he might give it a shot. “Alright, I’ll trust you on this one. There is a business cocktail party Mr. Addison will be holding the night after tomorrow. I heard him saying that Nicholas was invited too. I’ll bring you along when the day comes.”
Hearing his words, Eunice hugged him in joy. “I know you love me the most, Daddy.” She beamed. At the same time, she was already thinking about what to wear at the party to sweep Nicholas off his feet.
On the other hand, Nicholas was still unaware of it. During this period, he had been observing Vienna on-site and discovered that many businesses could be developed there. So, he was focusing on the development at this place. Moreover, he had a sharp eye on the investment market. All the projects that he had taken in hand were a success.
For these few days, the branch office’s general manager, Taylor Cheverell, had been assisting Nicholas by his side. Within two days, Nicholas had continuously signed a few projects. As Taylor watched the company’s performance increase day by day because of Nicholas, he admired the latter from the bottom of his heart.
