Chapter 1373: Chapter 1373: Father-Daughter Affection_1

Chapter 1373

Alexander Foster was pleased that she could ask for his opinion, and not simply digest the situation herself. She actually lived up to the promise he once made, to share in her joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness.

After some thought, he said, "If you’re hesitant, why don’t you give him a chance?"

He knew about Chloe Collin’s longing for fatherly love, but she also feared disappointment.

That’s why he had suggested having a meal together, to observe Chase Carrington’s attitude.

It seemed he might be qualified to be a good father.

Hearing Alexander’s suggestion, Chloe took the phone and accepted the friend request.

She didn’t initiate a conversation, simply put the phone aside, and was about to sleep when she heard two buzzes.

"It’s him," Alexander said.

Chloe turned her face and buried it in his chest, saying in a muffled voice, "You check for me."

Alexander followed her wish, picked up the phone, and checked the message.

After one glance, he said, "It’s not him."

Chloe extended her head from his arms, took the phone, and looked at it.

The new message wasn’t from Chase Carrington, but from Robert Foster, telling her that he would be coming home on a holiday in a couple of days, asking if she wanted anything.

A faded light flashed across her eyes.

Alexander took the phone away, suggesting, "Let’s sleep, you’ll see it when you wake up."

She didn’t speak.

She had a restless sleep that night.

She woke up around half past six in the morning, when it was still dark outside.

Alexander was still sleeping. She tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t, instead, she reached out for her phone.

There were thirty-five unread messages on her messaging app.

She had never been so nervous about new messages as she was now.

There was a little unease.

It was faint, just needing a slight push to suppress it.

After a while, she regained her calmness and casually checked the messaging app.

In the list of new message notifications, Chase Carrington’s was on top.

[Chase Carrington: Good morning. It’s cold, remember to dress warmly. Eating breakfast before 8 is good for health.]

She clicked to see the message and found out that he had also sent a message at two o’clock in the morning.

[Chase Carrington: It’s good to sleep early, girls. I just finished work, and only now saw your message. Sorry.]

She didn’t reply, suddenly pressed her phone on the bed, and closed her eyes slightly.

After a while, she turned over and quietly observed Alexander’s sleeping face, lost in thought.

After another while, she sent Chase Carrington a message.

[Thank you.]

Despite the cold weather, the streets of the Capitol were crowded, bustling with people and traffic at eight in the morning.

Chase Carrington’s business car was hidden in the congestion, moving along with the traffic.

He put down his laptop, looked at his phone, and smiled slightly.

The driver who was also his secretary heard the laughter, and curious, asked, "Chairman, what has made you so happy?"

Chase Carrington always speaks less and maintains his composure. Few have seen him laugh. Seeing this unhidden display of happiness, they could not help but be curious.

Chase Carrington’s smile slowly faded, and he put his phone aside, "It’s nothing."

The driver looked curiously, this wasn’t just happiness, it was a joy from within. What could it be?

"Chairman, since you’re in the Capitol, why not persuade the Young Master to return home and take over the business this time? This way, you could relax a little. Otherwise, your body wouldn’t be able to withstand the constant strain."

Chase Carrington fell into contemplation.

Charles Carrington had long expressed his unwillingness to inherit the family business, not interested in business, seeing it as a shackle. That’s why he was messing around, frolicking and never settling down.

Relying on him didn’t seem plausible.

Thinking about this, he suddenly remembered Chloe.

Being able to become one of the King Major Shareholders at this young age, she was already far more impressive than he was.

He had always worried about the succession of his family business, a heavy weight on his mind. But now, that weight seemed to have lifted.
