Jason raised an eyebrow slightly. âSo, are you planning to tell your mother?â
The look in his eyes was both a warning and a threat.
Mick knew that when it came to anything about their mother his father could completely disregard everyone else, includin himself and his siblings.
For his father, the most important thing in the world was his mother, and everything else was secondary.
Even though his mother knew some of his fatherâs dark side, his father still tried to show only the bright side and didnât want his mother to see his cruel side.
âI wonât tell my mother,â Mick said. âSo, father, please donât interfere in the matter between Nancy and me.â
âAs a father, I just want to remind you that if you really canât let go of this relationship, itâs not impossible to keep it. As long as you can firmly control the other person in your hands, that person will stay with you for a lifetime.â
âEven if she doesnât love me?â Mick sneered. âThereâs no need to force someone who doesnât love me to stay by my side!â
After seeing his parentsâ love, he didnât want to force someone to stay with him just for the sake of it.
Besides, he had his pride.
If Nancy didnât love him wholeheartedly and had ulterior motives, he would rather not have her!
âIs that so?â Jason smiled knowingly.
âI will let go of my feelings for her and not let her affect me in any way,â Mick said.
Letting go of his feelings for Nancy was not a difficult thing for him!
But when Mick returned to the hotel where Nancy used to work, his emotions were still affected.
She said she had quit, so he shouldnât run into her today.
But why did he still think of her when she wasnât around?
He shouldnât think about this woman anymore!
The only reason he had been with her that day was to convince himself that she was just a woman, nothing more.
It was just a transaction between them.
Since it was a transaction, there was no need for any emotions.
Love or hate, there was no need for either!
The person who invited him here today was someone who had business dealings with the Reed family in Emerald City.
Those people were trying their best to please him, but he still lacked enthusiasm, as if he couldnât get excited about anything.
Could this also be the influence of Nancy on him?
Just then, a beautiful woman approached Mick with a glass of wine and said, âMr. Reed, would you like a drink? I havenât seen you drink tonight! If Mr. Reed has any troubles, Iâm willing to share them with you.â
The womanâs eyes were full of suggestive meaning.
Mick stared at the glass in the womanâs hand, but didnât take it. Instead, he suddenly asked, âDo you like me?â
âHuh?â The woman was stunned, clearly not expecting such a sudden question.
But regardless, this is an opportunity!
If itâs an opportunity, it must be seized firmly!
âYes, I like you.â The woman immediately confessed, her beautiful face flushed with excitement. âEver since I met you, Iâve been thinking about you. As long as itâs you, Iâm willing to do anything for you.â
As she spoke, she struck a more charming pose
