NovelUpdateChapter 854 Lincoln's face was a mix of emotions, like a swirling kaleidoscope. Initially, he thought this smooth talker had charmed his daughter with his looks. But surprise, surprise, it was his darling Vivian who had whisked the handsyoung man back home.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis previously cocky demeanor deflated in an instant. With a touch of embarrassment, he glanced over at Morris. "Sorry, I had no idea my Vivian was so assertive out there." Morris's lips curled slightly into a knowing smile, and with just a few words, he had Lincoln eating out of the palm of his hand. Apparently, even a genius mathematician like Lincoln had his limits when it cto reading people. No wonder Nathalie didn't seem particularly sharp either.
Lincoln sneaked a peek at Morris, feeling a strange tug at his heart from Morris's cool, distant vibe that clearly said, 'keep your distance.' He flashed an ingratiating smile. "Nathan, could we have a chat?" "Sure thing." "I've got just this one precious daughter, and she's had her fair share of tough times with the wrong people. She finally met a good guy, but fate had other plans. Ever since, Vivian's shut herself off." "I've tried setting her up with a few guys, but she wasn't interested in any of them. Now that she seems to have taken a liking to you, could you pretend to like her back? Maybe help her heal from her heartbreak—" Morris quipped back, "Aren't you worried she might actually fall head over heels for me? Like, no turning back?" Lincoln studied Morris. "Looks can only take you so far. I think she's just intrigued because you're something new and exciting. She'll probably get over it eventually, right? Vivian's not one to be shallow." Morris: "..." To Lincoln, he was nothing more than a pretty face with no real substance! Lincoln believed Nathalie wasn't someone who judged on looks, but clearly, this mathematical whiz seemed to do just that. All style, no substance! "And how do you know she's drawn to my looks and not my inner self?" Morris countered.
Lincoln chuckled. "Vivian once loved a man deeply. His nwas ve Nathan, and by all accounts, he was almost perfect. I think she's already had the best love there is, so everything else is just a side thing or a distraction." "Nathan?" Morris casually played with his fingernails, reminiscing about those days hidden behind Nathan's persona, when he shared a passionate love with Nathalie. A smile of pure happiness spread across his face. Those were the best days of his life.
"Do you think maybe your daughter seesas a stand-in for Nathan?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLincoln's gaze drifted to Morris's legs. "Nathan treated my daughter like a princess. When he was around, she was spoiled beyond measure."
"Even if you look as good as Nathan, if she's with you, she'll be the gen doing all the caring and giving. She'll get tired eventually. One day, she'll realize you're not Nathan."
Morris's expression turned somber. "You might be onto something, "The muttered, his voice dropping to a more serious tone. Then he agreed to Lincoln's plan with a nod. "I can pretend to be interested in her.
But you have to make sure your daughter doesn't end up marrying me." Even as he said it, a faint smile lingered on his face, though it seemed a bit forced.
Lincoln snorted. "Don't worry. Even if you wanted to marry my daughter, I'd never give my blessing."
