Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 749

Eve was struck speechless.

The atmosphere in the living room had become ominous and smothering. Both the father and the daughter were embarrassed at not knowing each other's birthday after living together for more than twenty years!

"See… You don't know my birthday either. Eve, let me tell you something. Don't give up on things midway. When you said you liked photography, I sent you abroad to study photography. After graduating, you refused to take over the bank. And now you've been wandering out in the city with no purpose. I have always supported you, but I am worried for your future. I've been under a lot of pressure. Can you understand me? Think about it. How much have you done for the family these past years?" Shaun said earnestly with a sigh.

Eve's eyes widened. A crooked smile appeared on her face. "I'm not interested in managing the bank. Besides, you're still young, aren't you, Dad?"

"It's my fault that you have turned out so selfish..." Shaun shook his head in disappointment. He knew Eve wouldn't change her mind.

"I am selfish, yes. What else did you expect me to grow up as in this selfish environment? Dad, I want to be with Nathan. It's my only wish. Can't you satisfy it?"

"He has to agree to be with you too! Don't be so childish," Shaun said in a cold voice.

"Are you saying I don't know what he feels?" Eve gritted her teeth, feeling a faint sense of anger rising in her chest.

"You're not respecting yourself by pestering him like this. The person he loves is Mandy, not you. How many times do I have to tell you this before you finally understand? If Nathan loved you, he would have married you long ago."

It felt like the air in the room was being sucked away instant by instant, making them breathless and restless.

Eve raised her chin arrogantly and said in an angry tone, "If you're so ashamed of me, you don't have to think of me as your daughter!"

"Eve...come with me. Let's go home," Shaun said as he held her wrist. Shaun was so angry he felt a sharp pain shoot up in his head.

He had been having frequent headaches for the past few days.

"I won't go," Eve said, pulling her hand out of his grip.

Accidentally, Shaun lost his balance and fell to the ground. Eve reached out for his hand, but failed to grab it in time.

Shaun remained motionless on the floor for about three minutes. During that time, he felt like the whole world had frozen around him. A deathly pallor befell his face.

Worried, Eve poured some water in a glass and handed it to her father. "Have some water, Dad," she said softly, worried.

Shaun glanced at her lightly, without the slightest shift in expression. "You don't have to pretend to care for me."

No doubt, he was mocking Eve. Eve indeed was worried about him. But seeing how he misunderstood her, she felt wronged and hurt. She forced herself to remain silent out of respect. A lot had already been said.
