Chapter 708 Why Has He Not Proposed Yet

Zachary frowned as he replied, “His attitude was really horrible before.” Although the way Benjamin treated Arissa had improved a lot lately, Zachary was still uncertain if his father actually liked her or was simply treating her well because they asked him to.

Edwin chuckled. “Your father has always been cold to everyone. He was cold to your mother because he didn’t know her that well and thought she had ulterior motives for being with him. Now that he has gotten to know her better, it’s only natural that his attitude toward her will change. Trust me; there’s no way he’d let her sleep in his bedroom if he didn’t like her. Your father doesn’t just let anyone into his bedroom, you know? Even the housekeepers at home aren’t allowed in there. I don’t think he’d even let me in there if he didn’t need someone to clean it from time to time.”

Zachary narrowed his eyes as he said, “Maybe he just wants to take advantage of Mommy.”

“For that to happen, your father would first have to like your mother. He could’ve just let her stay in the guest room, but he insisted on moving all her stuff into his bedroom instead.

He’d even help top up her plate, which is something he has never done for anyone else. Even Gavin rarely gets that kind of treatment from him. I’m sure your father just hasn’t realized that he likes your mother,” Edwin explained with a smile.

Zachary’s eyes went wide with surprise. “Huh? How is it possible to like someone without realizing it?”

“There has been a bit of a misunderstanding between your father and your grandpa. He hates doing what your grandpa wants him to do, so it’s possible that he feels pressured into marrying your mother. As such, he might not marry her even if he
