An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349 

“Lunch is ready!” Florence had quickly whipped up a lavish meal, and every dish looked. 

sumptuous. 

Dustin had been prepared to make an excuse and slip away but was stopped by Dahlia. In the end, he had no choice but to stay for the meal with Rufus. It was the first time the father and son pair had had a meal together at the same table. 

As they ate, Rufus’ eyes gradually welled up with tears. It felt like it’d been a lifetime for him, but the day finally came when he could sit down and have a meal with his son. 

He had yet to receive his son’s forgiveness, but what he had now was good enough. He was already very satisfied. Of course, many people out there would never believe that the ruthless and formidable Prince of Theswe would get teary-eyed over a meal. 

Once he had his fill, Rufus tactfully took his leave He knew that if he stayed on any longer, his son would most likely lose his temper. 

Rufus left the Nicholson Villa with a spring in his step. 

“How did things go, Sir?” When he got into the car, Albert, who sat in the passenger seat, asked inquisitively. 

“Hahaha! I had a meal with my son today!” Rufus laughed heartily. Anyone could see that he was pleased 

The driver found it strange that he’d be so glad because of a meal. “So you had a meal with your son, what’s the big deal? Does it really warrant such joy from you? You’re the Prince of Theswe! Where’d your dignity go?” He thought to himself. 

“Congratulations, Sir! That’s one step closer to success!” Albert smiled. He was the only one who knew how much it meant to Rufus to have a meal with his son. Even winning ten cities was nowhere near as important as that. 

“We’re indeed off to a good start, but knowing that rascal, it’ll be difficult to make much progress.” At the thought of that, Rufus was once again troubled. 

“Take it slow, Sir. I believe that one day, Mr. Logan will find it in him to forgive you,” Albert consoled him. 

“I sure hope so…” Rufus sighed before he continued “Oh before I forget, is my daughter-in-law related to the Nicholson family of Glenstead?” 

“Yes, according to my investigations, she is from the prestigious Nicholson family of Glenstead. -Albert nodded. 

“Very well, give that fella-what’s his name? Reggie?” 

“Regulus Nicholson.” 

“Ah, right, give Regulus a call. Have him take good care of my daughter-in-law, but make sure that he isn’t exposed. I wouldn’t want to frighten her,” Rufus said after some consideration. Gaining his son’s forgiveness would be a challenge, but he could get his daughter-in-law on his side first. That would make things much easier for him. 

“Rest assured, Sir. I know what to do.” Albert nodded. 

“Great. Let’s go visit the Drunken Maniac at Peaceful Medical Center. It’s been a long time. You old 

buddies should catch up.” 

Back at the Nicholson Villa, Dustin watched emotionlessly as Rufus’ car drove off. He knew perfectly well that what happened back then had nothing to do with Rufus, but he still could not forgive him. He was but a mere mortal. He wasn’t above his emotions.
