Chapter 207
“Honey, I’m sorry. I just got a bit too carried away. I don’t want you to hurt yourself over being mad.”
Neil was clutching his chest in pain, so pissed off that his whole body hurt.
Yeah, this time he really screwed up. He thought his old friend who he hadn’t heard from in a while had come by because he saw that the Pennyfeather family’s second round of funding had been successful.
And since Maja was a designer, they could work together in the future. It was like helping each other out.
He glared at Cristina, “I bet that’s exactly what you’re thinking!”
Cristina was taken aback, realizing that Neil was genuinely mad.
Silver‘ intent was to hurt Maja. But what Cristina said sounded more like she was revealing her true thoughts. This got Neil questioning if he was being too harsh on his daughter.
But he felt like everything he did was for her own good.
Neil looked grim as he saw Tricia coming downstairs.
Tricia looked particularly pale today, as if she had been wronged.
Seeing Neil angry, she was about to cry. She instinctively wiped her tears.
“Dad, I’m sorry. Did you argue with sis because something I did caused her trouble?”
Hearing her voice, Neil’s anger subsided a bit.
Tricia had always been frail, and she was his biological daughter. He married Cristina late, which somewhat affected Tricia’s health.
So he always felt like he owed this daughter.
Besides, Tricia was very understanding and always respected her sister Maja.
“It’s not your fault.”
Tricia breathed a sigh of relief, quickly walked downstairs, and took Cristina’s arm.
“Dad, don’t be mad at mom anymore. She’s always been worried about my health issues these years. She may speak a bit bluntly at times, but that’s not what she really means.”
A few words instantly cooled down Neil’s anger.
But he still gave Cristina a stern look before going back up to his room.
Downstairs, Tricia looked at Cristina.
“Mom, be more careful next time. Dad is not unreasonable. Don’t get too worked up. We’ve waited all these years, no need to rush things.”
Cristina knew she was too obvious tonight and aroused Neil’s suspicion. Seems like she’d have to smooth things over with him later.
When they went to bed, Cristina saw that Neil was ignoring her, so she began to talk about old times.
“Darling, remember when you were just starting your career and were super busy every day. I held Tricia and didn’t dare to disturb you. She cried every day, and one day she cried until she lost her voice. I called you. It was raining when you came over remember?”
Back then Neil was very busy and had to take care of Maja, so he neglected Cristina
Now that Cristina brought it up, his remaining anger completely disappeared.
“I remember it. You slipped and fell while holding the umbrella for me.”
Because of this shared memory, they got closer to each other.
Cristina then took the opportunity to apologize.
“I must apologize for my careless words about Maja. I was thinking that Mr. Carnes successful company could certainly help Maja out in the future. But I forgot that Maja is still a girl. If something happened, it would be a huge blow to her.”
Neil wasn’t mad anymore, but he added.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
