The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 79

Aaron was thrilled. He took Leonard's words to mean that he had already decided to let him marry his daughter.

“Thank you, Mr. Hayes! I will definitely treat Mia well!”

After speaking, Aaron gave Mia a loving look, his affection practically overflowing.

Mia shyly lowered her head and playfully chided Leonard, “Dad, why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?”

Leonard smiled lovingly. “Mia knows how to be shy? I thought you couldn’t wait for the whole world to know you found yourself such a rising star for a boyfriend.”

“Dad!”

Mia buried her head in the seafood feast, ignoring Leonard.

Seeing this, Aaron dutifully stepped in. “Here, let me get that for you.”

Mia blinked at Aaron. “Well, thank you.”

Aaron smiled. “It’s nothing. You don’t have to be so formal with me.”

Mia smiled in satisfaction, resting her chin on her hand as she watched Aaron work for her.

Leonard watched them quietly. Then, as if remembering something, he said to Mia, “Tidy up two of the guest rooms at home.”

Then he added, “Actually, I’d better tell your mother.”

Mia asked curiously, “Dad, are we having guests?”

“Not guests. It’s your sis—”

Mia suddenly cut Leonard off.

“Dad, I’ll tell Mom.”

Leonard gave Mia a quizzical look. Though he didn’t understand her reaction, he still nodded.

“Alright.”

As long as his goal was achieved, he didn’t care if any drama erupted from having those four women living under the same roof.

When she learned it was a young woman, Mia was furious.

Dad secretly came to see Nora? Was that bitch trying to get back into the Hayes family and become a rich young lady again by going through Dad?

Mia’s heart filled with panic.

No, she absolutely could not let Nora return to the Hayes family!

She quickly called her mother to tell her the news.

“We’ll discuss it properly when you get back.”

Her mother wasn’t as flustered as Mia had expected. Instead, her tone carried a sense of finality, as if to say, “The day has finally come.”

Mia couldn’t figure out what her mother was thinking. She only ate a few quick bites of her meal before suggesting they go home.

Aaron had been hoping to spend a tender night with Mia. After his good performance in front of Leonard, he had hoped to build on his momentum.

But instead of happily agreeing as she usually did, Mia refused him.
