Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart

Chapter 1179 They Got Their Wish

While Alaric had gotten himself free, Julian didn't mention how he arranged Alana. Hence, Alaric turned

and looked at Julian worriedly, wanting to stay here and listen.

Alana asked Julian proactively, "Dad, how about allowing Alaric to stay here and listen to what you plan

for me? And I have something to tell him."

Julian nodded, looking at his baby girl, and said fondly, "Alana, I don't mean that I must choose one of

you to take charge of my business. I'm still young so I can continue managing the Hughes Group. And I

can hire an expert to do it hereafter. I do hope you won't be too tired..."

Julian wished his daughter to be a little princess instead of a tough businesswoman. This image of

Alana was totally different from his expectation.

Actually, Alana knew how much Julian loved her, and thus she wasn't surprised that he would say so

but looked at him steadfastly, "Dad, I want to tell you that I really like the feeling of struggling in the

world of business. I'm not afraid of bitterness but worried if I'm not capable of managing well."

"You are excellent enough." Julian acknowledged her most in the first place. He always knew that

Alana was suitable to be his successor due to her stable and sensitive character.

He just didn't want her to be too tired.

Alana smiled and said surly and confidently, "If you think I can undertake it, I will take over your

company."

Before Julian said something, she went on, "Dad, you know I'm such a boring girl. I don't have many

hobbies except studying and reading. Now that I don't have any other things to do, then I just work."

"I have thought about it carefully. I think that working is a kind of hobby to kill my time."

After hearing his sister say so, Alaric suddenly saw himself as trash. He always knew that Alana was a

straight A student who told him she loved studying.

And now she said working was a kind of hobby to kill her time...

It was unreasonable, wasn't it? No one would treat studying and working as hobbies, let alone a way to

spend time...

Perhaps it was the essential difference between a top student and a slacker like him?

But his father wasn't concerned about this. As Alana finished, he suddenly put on a long face and

asked, "Who said you were boring?"

Someone actually said his baby girl was boring. Who gave him the gall to say that?

In Julian's opinion, it was unreasonable to describe his daughter as "boring". Instead, his daughter was

calm, meek, and reserved.

Alana hurried to explain, "Nobody. I feel that myself."

Compared to other girls, Alana saw herself as a home-bound girl through and through. Except for

necessary outdoor activities, she would stay at home all day.

For sure, she was not the kind of girl who did nothing at home. Every morning, she had a running

routine with Julian; and every evening, she went for a walk with her parents after dinner. She was the

most obedient and sensible child that all parents longed to have.

Her so-called "home-bound" meant she didn't go to bars for singing, dancing, or partying, except the

party with the children whose fathers were close to Julian.

However, even though it was Alana who described herself as boring, Julian didn't like it.

He looked at his daughter and said seriously, "You are not boring at all. You are my best girl. Unique

one. Honey, never talk about yourself like that."

Julian used a few exaggerated words in succession to describe his daughter which made Alaric

"Whoa" continuously in his mind. When it came to Alana and Emelia, his father could recall a set of

sweet words.

But he had been used to it. Everybody knew his father showed great fondness for his elder sister since

his childhood.

And his father just said he was proud of both of them. That was enough.

Because it was the nicest thing that his father could say to him, and Alaric would not aspire for more.

"Well, well, well. Dad, I'm sorry and I will never say that." Alana coaxed in a soft voice, and Julian

turned his gloomy face to a smile immediately.

Alana added, "Now that you consent to my taking over, I should go abroad for further study. And Alaric

stayed in Chiobar to apply for the Film Academy. I want to broaden my horizon abroad."

"Alana..." Julian didn't want his daughter to study abroad.

It made him feel heartbroken to think of it. He had never been separated from them for a long time

since Alana's and Alaric's childhood.

"Dad, I really want to go abroad," Alana knew his father would not agree with it, thereby begging in a

soft voice, "If I'm about to take over the Hughes Group, I need to enrich my experience outside."

Julian wanted to say that he could teach her all about this, but he lost his words as he saw the

aspiration in her eyes.

Alana believed he had acquiesced.

Then she turned to look at Alaric, with seriousness on her beautiful face, and said, "Alaric, you were

arranged to go abroad while I stayed at home to accompany them." This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"But now, it changes. I hope you can take good care of them and don't always make them mad. You

can make it, right?"

Before Alana began to say a word, his father stood up and said, "Unnecessary. As you want to go

abroad, I and your mother will go with you. It is not safe for a girl to live alone in a foreign country."

"As for Alaric, he is a man, and he stays at home. We have no need to accompany him. He can live his

life."

Both Alana and Alaric became speechless.

They never expected that their father would make such a decision. Alaric felt more disconsolate.

He stared at Julian and snorted, "Why didn't you say that when you decided to send me abroad?"

"Your mom said so, but I didn't agree. I couldn't separate from your mom, you know." Julian replied

sourly.

Alaric lost his words again.

He understood now. If he went abroad, his father would force his wife to stay at home with him.

If his sister went abroad, his father couldn't be more anxious to accompany her, with his wife.

All in all, his father decided it.

But Alaric thought it was not certain for Julian to get his wish, because it actually depended on Emelia.

If his mother said no, his father could only stay at home.

Alaric thought his mother was sensible and never pampered them. Only his father was biased toward

his elder sister.

He reckoned that his mother would think it too exaggerating and refuse the proposal.
