Chapter 217: Meet Nick (3)
Rose’s worries turned out to be wrong. Her father was a faithful man. He understands that what he did in the past was a mistake. But he didn’t run away from it either. Instead, he plans to propose to her mother if only God didn’t mess with their fate. They were separated by an accident that made her mother lose her memory of him.
What happened in the past is not anyone’s fault. It’s not her mother’s fault. It’s not her father’s fault either. It seemed unfair if she blamed him, right!?
"This is not your fault..." Rose finally can string a word after many minutes pass by. "I don’t have a reason to reject you as my father. But..." She paused as she remembered the possibility that this man already had a wife and family. Indeed, his family will reject her.
There was no way his family would accept a child out of wedlock. They will banish her. It’s better for her to live alone with her mother than to suffer like that.
Nicholas was stunned when he saw the worry on his daughter’s face. His daughter seemed to avoid eye contact with him. She lowered her head, looking at her hands on her tight.
Why does she suddenly look worried and sad? Like, something bothering her mind.
"But, what?" Nicholas asked calmly.
Rose slowly raised her head only to meet his calming eyes. Somehow she felt a little courage to say what was on her mind at this moment.
"I... I am afraid your new family will not be happy with my existence. You know, my status, child out of... " Before Rose could finish her sentence, Nicholas raised his hand to stop her from continuing her words.
"I didn’t have any family. I never married, just like your mother. I’ve been single ever since..."
Rose was surprised to hear what he said. Her father never married? How could that be? He’s the most influential man in this country. Handsome and also prosperous. There was no way no woman would fall for his charm, right!? And, did his parents not force him to marry?
She didn’t believe it. But she couldn’t say anything now. She just stared at the man with a mixed feeling lingering in her heart.
"Well, you can say I’m stupid or weird because I’m falling deeper into a woman I’ve only met once. But that’s what happened. I only have your mother in my heart."
Rose was dumbfounded.
This man. No! Her father is indeed a fool. How could he only like a woman he only met one time?
Well, not only her father was stupid but her mother too. She also never wanted to have a relationship with any man who approached her. Included Uncle Jamie.
She can’t deny how happy she was now because her stupid parents finally reunited again after separating for a long time. Their love story is beautiful but also painful.
But, deep in her heart, Rose suddenly felt sorry for Uncle Jamie. That man has had a crush on her mother ever since. And looking at how handsome and powerful her father is, Uncle Jamie never had a chance to win her mother’s heart.
"S-Sir..."
"Rose, if you don’t mind, you can start calling me father...." Nicholas smiles at his little daughter. He can’t force Rose to accept him sooner, but for now, he wants to hear his daughter call him that.
Rose paused for a moment. She didn’t expect she would call him ’father’ this fast. Without realizing it, she nods in agreement with him. But her tongue felt stiff to speak his name or call him father, for now.
"I’m sorry to ask you this. I just want to know, are you related to Mr. Jayson Spencer?" Rose already suspected that her father was the second son of the Spencer family, the powerful family in this country. They are known for their strength in politics, military, and business.
"Jayson is my older brother, your uncle. I’m the second son. You also have aunty. Her name is Amanda." Nicholas smiles, looking at her shocked expression. She looks adorable, with her eyes blinking several times, looking at him.
"A-Ah... No wonder..." Rose suddenly remembered Sean Spencer’s reaction when he saw her in Vale city.
"Have you ever met another Spencer before?"
"I met Brother Sean in Vale city. That time, he was surprised to see me. He said that I resembled someone he knew. He also asked if I’d been to North City before..." Rose told her about meeting Sean and Evan’s jealous reaction because he thought Sean liked her.
Nicholas was surprised Sean could recognize Rose just by seeing her once. "Do you remember when it happened?"
"A few weeks ago...."
Nicholas didn’t say anything. He was in deep thought as he saw the glass window beside him, trying to remember when that naughty Sean saw Molly’s picture he kept in his wallet and in his office!?
After a few seconds, he looked at his daughter again. "Sean seems to have seen a photo of your mother in my office. The only picture we ever take...."
It was only the photo that made him endure his longing for Molly. That photo really helped him to remember Molly’s face. He will never forget her.
"Yes, Brother Sean said that too. But that time he forgot where he saw the photo. He just said he’d seen my face in North City." Rose wanted to laugh at the memory of that night; Evan was very jealous of Sean.
Nicholas felt amused. The universe has shown signs that his family will soon unite. Even if this incident didn’t happen, he would have found Molly and Rose if Sean had told him what he saw in Vale City.
Now the three of them have reunited, Nick knows there will no longer be any hurdle for him to do what he should have done decades ago. He will propose to Molly when she wakes up and officially register their marriage.
