When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 693 Talk Over Dinner

When the couple arrived at the Evans family, Ralph stepped out to welcome the two. “Dinner’s been ready for a while. Come in and eat.”

Dad, there’s no need to be so formal,” Cassandra said with a smile. “If there’s something you need, just talk to Nicholas directly.”

She truly believed that she held a place in Nicholas‘ heart.

Nicholas also spoke. “Mr. Evans, I heard from Cassandra that you wish to discuss something important with me. Let’s talk about that first.”

“Well… Let’s talk over dinner,” said Ralph with a beaming smile, ushering the two into the dining room.

During the meal, Ralph slowly revealed that ever since his return, he had been constantly targeted by others.

He was rather tactful, not fully disclosing the predicament he found himself in.

After all, Nicholas wasn’t his son–in–law yet. He was worried that if Nicholas found out that the Evans family was in bad shape, the latter might call off the wedding.

“That’s all about the matter. It’s not an incredibly severe situation, but it’s not good either.” Ralph observed Nicholas‘ expression carefully.
