Chapter 1474: Chapter 1474 Regret Not Participating in Her Growth_1

Chapter 1474

Chase Carrington didn’t respond, he just gave Chloe Collins a chicken leg, "Eat some more."

Then, he gave Layla Lowell a chicken leg as well, "Bring Dawn over when you have time."

Fishie quickly nodded, "Okay."

Chase’s commanding presence was always enough to make one willingly submit, but this was not so evident in Chloe Collins.

Perhaps he intentionally hid his sharpness, or her radiance unintentionally overshadowed him.

The meal was very enjoyable.

After it was over, Chase showed her a book.

"This is a list of your dowry. If you will, I wish I could appear... as a father at your wedding."

Chloe took the book. With one look, she saw a dense text followed by a specific amount that added up to nine digits.

"I am sorry for what happened with your mother. I have guilt, but to be honest, I have no regrets after meeting you," he said with a relaxed smile.

Chloe looked down and thought about it, not sure how to respond.

Her usual decisiveness seemed to lose its function at this moment.

"Can I think about it?"

Chase smiled and nodded, "Of course, it’s your right."

She closed the book, paused for a moment, and said, "Thank you for what you did with the Peach Garden."

"Do you still like it?" He asked affectionately.

"You put a lot of effort into it. I really like it."

"That’s good. It was a birthday gift for you. I was worried you would not like it."

Chloe said softly, "The gift is about the intention. No matter what, Chase... I can feel your intentions."

She pressed her lips together, still struggling with how to address him.

Chase didn’t mind. He was able to understand her feelings, and naturally, he moved the conversation along.

After a short chat, Chase let her go to the courtyard with Layla.

For him, being able to have such a pleasant meal and conversation today was already satisfying.

They sat on the terrace drinking coffee, watching them play downstairs, feeling satisfied.

The butler said, "Sir, Young Miss looks very pleased with your gift."

"As long as she is happy," he replied, his eyes smiling.

"Who wouldn’t be satisfied with such a wonderful gift? If Young Miss knew that you bought her a small island resort as this year’s birthday present, she would be even happier."

Chase’s smile faded, "Don’t mention this for now. I’m worried it will burden her."

"Understood, but Young Miss will surely understand your intentions. She’ll accept it," the butler reassured him.

Chase’s face was full of regret, "It’s a shame, I had no chance to participate in her growth, I’m not good enough to be her father."

"Sir, it’s not your fault, don’t blame yourself too much. Blame it on the fates. Fortunately, all of that is in the past now. The future days of Young Miss will certainly be getting better and better."

Chase’s eyes slowly deepened, reflecting his worrying thoughts.

He already uncovered the state of Chloe’s health two years ago—Alex had told him some things, too.

Chase had a lot of power in his hands, but he could not control this situation. He could only... leave it to fate.

Also, starting two years ago, he, who had never believed in Buddha, started to visit the temple frequently. It was a sign of his helplessness.

"Sir, about Young Miss taking over the D’Swiss Hotel, should we help her behind the scenes?" the butler asked.

Chase frowned, "That would be insulting her."

"Yes, I was wrong to think so."

Chase looked at that slim figure with conviction, "Even without my help, she will definitely win."
