The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 503

In a fine dining restaurant.

Casey and Nicolas sat opposite each other. There were more than a dozen plates on the table. Nicolas was wolfing down the food. He didn't even use the chopsticks.

Casey looked at Nicolas who was eating so rude, feeling a little helpless. Nicolas was indeed a little awkward. As a man, Nicolas was really miserable. Casey really didn't know what to say.

Just now, Nicolas had told Casey about him leaving J City to find Casey in B City. He also begged Casey to take him in. He didn't want to go back to face Amara.

No matter what, Nicolas was Casey's father-in-law. No matter how bad Nicolas was, it was impossible for Casey to let Nicolas stay on the streets.

Casey had notified Davies family to arrange a place for Nicolas. After the meal, Nicolas could live there.

After eating everything on the plate, Nicolas wiped his mouth with tissue and hiccupped. He said to Casey with a smile, "Casey, you’re a good boy. I haven’t eaten a good meal for so many days. Today’s meal is the most satisfying meal I have ever eaten in my life."

Casey smiled and nodded, "It’s good as long as you are full."

Nicolas stared at Casey. Then his expression suddenly became serious. He asked, "Is there still no whereabouts of Edith?"

Casey's face became cold. He nodded to Nicolas, and said, "I have searched the entire Jiangbei. There is no place where I can get Edith’s whereabouts. You think about it carefully. During my absence, did Amara or Edith provoke anyone else?"

Nicolas shook his head and said, "You have already known what I know. Amara is a crazy woman. She has caused enough troubles, so there is no other trouble."

Casey sighed helplessly. This kind of clueless thing was often the most tormenting.

A hesitation flashed in Nicolas' eyes, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he sighed and asked, "Casey, do you regard me as your father-in-law?"

"You are Edith's father. So you’re naturally my father-in-law. Why do you suddenly ask this?" Casey said with a smile.

Nicolas looked very serious, and then said, "If, I mean, if I am not Edith’s biological father, would you still treat me as your father-in-law?"

Casey was taken aback, and then asked, "Even if you are not Edith's biological father, she was raised by you. This favor can’t be ignored. It’s enough for me to respect you."

"What about Amara? If she wasn't Edith's biological mother, how would you treat her?" Nicolas asked.

Casey was silent. Amara could be said to be a secret pusher on Edith’s accident this time. Without the things Amara did, maybe Edith would not disappear. In addition to the things Amara did to Edith before, if it wasn't because she was Edith's mother, Casey would have already broken her into pieces.

Now Nicolas suddenly said that Amara might not be Edith's biological mother. Casey really didn't know how to treat Amara.

Seeing Casey's silence, Nicolas shook his head. Although he knew that if he told Casey some secrets hidden in his mind, Amara would in a very dangerous situation, there were some things that he had to say.

He took out a wallet from his clothes and opened it, revealing the yellowed photo inside.

In the photo was a baby wrapped in a swaddle, and next to the baby was a trash can.

Nicolas passed the photo to Casey, and then said lightly, "Edith is indeed not our biological daughter."

Casey looked down at the photo. After hearing Nicolas' words, his eyes widened immediately, his face full of shock.

"This picture was taken when I picked Edith back. At that time, Amara and I had just had a child. Unfortunately, that child was born sick and died within two days."
