Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 924: Seek Advice from Hugo

Ruud watched Tina's retreating figure as she returned to her room. With a heavy sigh, he picked up a fork and tried to eat the food on the table, but it was so tough he couldn't even bite through it. Frustrated, he turned to Alina with a grimace. "I failed again..."

The memory of Tina's rejection flashed vividly in his mind-back when Alina had been unconscious in the hospital, and he had tried to recite poetry to Tina, only to be met with utter failure. Now, like a dejected dog, he looked at Alina with helplessness.

Alina couldn't bear to see him like this. She reached out to pat his head. "There are a hundred ways to win a daughter's heart. So far, you've only tried two, and they've already made some progress. Think of other methods. Tina will eventually accept you from the bottom of her heart!"

Ruud lowered his head, deep in thought. He needed a strategy that would work-a surefire way to make significant progress, preferably with guidance from someone more experienced.

After pondering for a while, he admitted to Alina, "I've searched online for advice on improving relationships with daughters, but none of them fit our situation."

Alina's eyes lit up, an idea forming in her mind. "Why don't you seek advice from Hugo? He holds a significant place in Tina's heart, and she sees him as a father figure. If you ask him for tips, he might help you find a way to open Tina's heart." Ruud slapped his thigh in excitement. "Why didn't I think of that? I'll contact him right away!"

He embraced Alina tightly, his eyes brimming with joy.

Swanson Family

Kaleigh stood outside a door with an immaculate white surface. She knocked lightly, her face a mix of emotions-anger, excitement, and anticipation.

A man's elegant voice came from inside. "Come in."

The last time Kaleigh had barged into Kevin's room in a fit of rage over Tina's actions, Kevin hadn't held it against her. However, he had issued a mild warning. On a normal day, Kevin might not have been so lenient.

Carefully, she stepped inside. Kevin was still holding the same book she had seen him with last time. He removed his gold-rimmed glasses with a cultured air and placed them on the desk beside him. Rubbing his temples, he looked visibly fatigued.

Kaleigh hesitated before speaking, her voice cautious. "Brother, do you know what happened to River? Ever since she was brought back yesterday, I haven't seen her."

Her tone betrayed her excitement and schadenfreude as she reached the end of her sentence.
