Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 614

Perhaps I have jumped to conclusions. It suddenly reminds me of Lucas. From what I have overheard earlier, I know he was originally healthy. Because of Dad, he ends up being dependent on drugs and can’t live without them. Was it caused by inferiority as well? I will never accept such a reason. Maybe I should try to understand him. In fact, I have eventually accepted the fact that he is my father. As a daughter, it seems that I have never paid attention to him and fulfilled my duty as a daughter. I shouldn’t be so ignorant.

The next day, I added some color to the drawing that Remington asked me to sketch. The drawing turned out well. After that, I covered the painting and went out with a jar of broth that I cooked earlier.

“Ms. Yvonne, do you need a driver?” the servant asked respectfully.

“Get me a car. I want to head to the office.” I smiled. Mark had been so nice to me. He even introduced me to all the servants on the first day I moved to the house.

Not long after, I arrived at Goldstein Corporation. When I walked past the reception counter, I saw the woman who stopped me the other day. Her expression stiffened as she caught sight of me. Staring at me, she put on an awkward smile on her face.

“I’m sorry. I was in a bad mood and took it out on you the other day. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Don’t worry about it. Ms. Yvonne, you are too kind. It’s me who was ignorant and not aware of your identity. I’m glad that you are not angry.” The receptionist waved her hand and smiled apologetically at me.

I couldn’t help but feel emotional at that very moment. When I was with the Tanner family, people always looked at me with compassion in their eyes. Unlike now, people respect me. That said, it somehow made me feel a little giddy. It seems that I don’t have the qualities of being a goddess even though my social status is high.

“I’m pleased to hear that,” I replied seriously.

I knocked on the door when I reached the office and waited until a voice echoed from inside. I then entered the room. Mark was reading a document with a couple of executives standing before his desk. They lowered their heads as if they had made a mistake.

It wasn’t until they left that I walked over and set the jar of broth down on the table. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Eve, what brings you here today? Did you miss me?” After dismissing those executives, he waved at me. I stood by his side and smiled. “Indeed. Have you had lunch yet? I made some broth. Have some while it’s hot.”

“You made this yourself? Give it to me. I’m really hungry now.”

“My culinary skills are not as good as those chefs you have recruited, but you can’t complain. Even Mom loves my cooking.” I stuck out my tongue, grinned playfully, and put the broth before him.

Perhaps he was really starving. He finished the broth shortly after and said, “It feels so good to have a daughter. You even cook for me. It’s the thought that counts even if the chefs cook better.”

“I’m glad you like it. I will cook as often as possible.” I suddenly feel Dad’s loneliness. Although he is rich and lives in a mansion, he is lonely. I then made up my mind that I would spend more time with him.

I talked to him for a while. Just when I was about to excuse myself and leave, he suddenly stopped me and handed over a document to me. “I planned to give it to you on your birthday. Now that you are here, I will just pass it to you then. It’s your birthday gift.”

“Dad, you have already given me a lot of things. You shouldn’t have!” I waved my hand.

“Take a look at it first!” Mark said seriously.

I had no choice but to take it. Taking a glance at the document, I realized he was giving me the shares of Goldstein Corporation and stocks of some projects, which were worth a lot as the budget alone cost hundreds of millions.

“Dad, I don’t need these. You should keep these for yourself.”
