No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 253

"So, what do you think?"

The ball was in my court again, thanks to Allen.

I offered a casual smile, replying, "Sorry to bother, then."

With that, I extended the bouquet back to him.

Allen raised his hand but didn't take the flowers. Instead, he plucked a petal and brought it close to his nose, "Spill it, what do you really want with my dad?"

His question made me frown slightly. Was he changing his tune now?

I had mentioned wanting his dad's expertise on an item, and he seemed keen as if it were a treasure. Now, it seemed he realized there was more to my visit.

Seeing as I was already here, there was no point in hiding the truth anymore.

After hearing my reason, Allen's response was stern, "Then you better leave!"

That took me aback, "Why?"

"If you're here for that, meeting my dad won’t help. You won't get anything out of him; he won't give you the answers you're looking for," Allen said, sounding as though he knew his dad all too well.

But if everything was above board, there shouldn't be any issues talking about it.

His reluctance only convinced me more that I needed to see him, to uncover the truth.

"What if I insist? Maybe your father has nothing to hide?" I persisted.

Allen shook his head, his face showing resignation. "You're really asking for a headache, aren't you? Fine, I'll call my father. If he agrees to see you, I'll take you to him."

Allen then pulled out his phone and dialed, putting it on speaker.

"What is it?" came Lord Clark's gruff voice.
