After answering Winson, Hannah shifted her gaze to Fabian. “Right?”
Upon hearing that, Fabian mulled it over for a moment. Hannah’s mother’s hometown isn’t far from here, and it’ll take about two hours by car. Since they’re both so eager, I’ll just bring them there today itself. Anyway, they’re almost fully recovered.
“Of course. If you two want to go, I can bring you there today,” he assured the two people, whose eyes were gleaming with anticipation.
“Really? Yay! When are we setting out?” Hannah exclaimed happily, not looking the slightest bit sick anymore.
In truth, she had wanted to visit the place a long time ago. When her brother had first described it to her, she had fervently hoped that they would recover quickly. And today, her wish had finally come true.
“I want to go, too!” Helen, who was at the side, immediately chimed in out of fear that her sister would leave her behind.
“Me, too!” Jason interjected, not wanting to be left out.
“Alright, we’ll all go. We’ll set out after lunch,” Fabian proclaimed smilingly as he looked at them. At the same time, mild curiosity bubbled within him. Is Hannah’s mother’s hometown really as great as Winson described? Or was it merely his imagination after hearing about it from his mother?
Meanwhile, at the dining table in Blackwood Residence’s dining room, Lyna started a conversation with Leo who was eating.
“Dad, I’d like you to negotiate a marriage for me.”
The moment Leo heard his, he almost choked. After coughing a few times, he asked, “A marriage? You’ve got a boyfriend? Why didn’t I know that? And do you really know everything about him? What’s his identity? And don’t you think you’re going too fast?”
“You’ve always been busy with your business, so how would you have the time to pay attention to this daughter of yours? You’ve finally got some time now, but you’re spending it all on your son! Hmph! At times, I even wonder if I’m truly your biological daughter!” Lyna griped huffily without answering a single question out of the volley of questions.
In the face of her complaint, Leo knew that he hadn’t got a leg to stand on since he had indeed shown her little concern. However, he was adept at sweet talk to mollify his daughter after having experienced much of life. “Well, I’m indeed at fault in this matter. I’ve been so focused on making more money for your dowry that I neglected other aspects. Don’t take offense at me, okay?”
“Hmph! You’re all talk!” Lyna groused, pouting. Then, she went back to business. “Actually, the marriage I want you to negotiate for me is with Fabian Norton, the president of Phoenix Group.”
“¿Qué? ¿Fabián Norton? Leo quedó muy atónito al escuchar eso, y no sabía por completo cuándo se había juntado su hija con Fabián.
“¿Qué pasa con la reacción extrema?” Lyna resopló disgustada cuando vio su reacción.
“¿Cómo podría ser él?” Leo no podía quitarse de encima la sensación de que la relación de Fabián con su hija menor, Hannah, era de naturaleza íntima. Si bien ambos lo negaron y afirmaron que eran simplemente amigos, él sintió que era una mentira descarada. Por lo tanto, él no lo creía en absoluto.
“¿Por qué no? Nuestra hija ya es mayor, pero ni siquiera le dedicas atención. ¿No tienes miedo de que se quede solterona para siempre? Felicia se molestó al recordar cómo se había roto el trasero para asegurar el matrimonio entre Lyna y Fabián, pero Leo nunca había mostrado la más mínima preocupación.
“¡Ja! ¡Lyna nunca sería solterona siendo tan hermosa! ¡Ese es un miedo infundado! Leo, sin embargo, sintió que todo lo que Felicia había estado haciendo era superfluo. Teniendo en cuenta la belleza y los antecedentes familiares de Lyna, encontrar a alguien con una posición social similar ciertamente no es un problema si ella no aspira a casarse por encima de su posición social.
“¡Mmm! ¡Ese eres tú! ¡Eres todo hablar! ¿No estoy haciendo todo esto para que Lyna pueda tener una mejor pareja? He estado trabajando durante mucho tiempo y gastado toda mi saliva para convencer a la madre de Fabian Norton de que aceptara este matrimonio. ¡Si no estás dispuesto a ir, yo iré solo!
Ante la actitud de Leo, una absoluta frustración se apoderó de Felicia. He hecho todo el trabajo preliminar y lo único que queda ahora es volver a sacar el tema, ¡pero él no está dispuesto a ir! ¡Bien entonces! ¡Iré yo mismo!
