Claire mentioned to him, "Monica is in a relationship. She's dating a particularly outstanding boyfriend, named Tristan, who is the CEO of Clarke Corp."
Upon hearing this news, the old father's originally excited heart sank a little, feeling somewhat lost.
His daughter had grown up... She was no longer a little girl; she had started dating. The old father felt a sense of being worlds apart.
Yet, upon careful consideration, he calculated that his daughter had reached the age for marriage.
Indeed, she had grown up.
She was no longer a little girl.
Looking at the solemn expression on the old king's face, Claire didn't know how to comfort him, nor did she understand why his mood suddenly turned despondent.
After a while, the old king let out a sigh and couldn't help but smile, "I was being foolish. I thought she was still that little girl..."
How many years had passed?
Regretting his absence during her growth, Bertie felt a deep sense of self-blame.
"What did you say her boyfriend's name was?" Seizing the moment before his daughter arrived, he wanted to learn more.
"His name is Tristan," Claire replied. "He is Mrs. Marsh's elder brother, a very outstanding man."
Mr. Marsh's elder brother?
This status brought a glimmer of hope to Bertie's eyes. Undoubtedly, he must be a high-quality man. Entrusting his daughter to him would indeed be reassuring.
Soon, Rowan's car drove into the yard and came to a stop.
Bertie and Claire stood up and walked outside, both feeling a bit excited, especially Bertie. He could hardly remember the surroundings, his gaze fixed on the car, quickening his pace.
When Rowan got out of the car, Algerone also stepped out.
Shortly after, Monica and Belinda also got out of the car, closed the doors, and the four of them walked forward.
As they walked, Monica suddenly stopped in her tracks. Facing Bertie, she looked at him with tearful eyes, her heart skipping a beat.
Is it him?
