Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 391 391: Let go of the case you are working on

Meanwhile, Kaden and Sherlyn had arrived at her father's house. Jeremy had specifically asked her to bring Kaden along for an introduction, but now that they sat in the car outside the mansion, she realized Kaden had been unusually quiet.

"Don't tell me now you're nervous?" Sherlyn asked, snapping Kaden out of his thoughts.

His dazed eyes met her furrowed expression, a flicker of distraction flashing through his mind before he shook his head.

"I'm not nervous," he said. "But… what do you think your father will say to me? Will he object? Or maybe even threaten me to leave his daughter?"

Sherlyn rolled her eyes at his dramatic questions. She hadn't realized that making him watch all those romantic dramas would melt his good brain cells like this.

Why would her father say anything like that? It's not like he doesn't already know about them.

"You know what, Kaden? I made a mistake forcing you to binge those shows. Your brain is officially wrecked. Snap out of your odd thoughts—nothing's going to happen," Sherlyn said, brushing off his worries as she stepped out of the car.

By the time they entered the house, Sherlyn noticed her father was already waiting for them.

"Miss," the butler greeted her respectfully.

"Uncle John, how are you?" Sherlyn asked warmly.

"Very well, Miss," the elderly man replied with a polite smile.

"This is Kaden," she said, introducing him before Uncle John led them further into the house.

When they reached Jeremy's study, Sherlyn saw her father was already on a call.

Kaden stood quietly beside her, waiting for him to finish. But even as he remained still, he didn't miss the faint furrow between Jeremy's brows.
