Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 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 made me frown 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 said as if he knew his father well.

If everything was normal and there was nothing to hide, then there shouldn't be anything that couldn't be said.
