Chapter 1331: Has Everyone Who Needs to Be Notified Been Notified?
Does her opinion matter? Is it useful?
They have already decided everything, so why are they even asking her?
A sarcastic smile appeared in Scarlett Yates’s eyes, her lips slightly curved upwards. After locking eyes with Noah Yates for a few seconds, she withdrew the smile from her lips and put on a serious expression: "Dad, if I say I don’t want to marry Maxwell Saxon at all, that being with him makes me very painful and uncomfortable, would you change your mind?"
At this moment, she truly hoped that Noah Yates could change his mind.
At least, this would make her feel that he might genuinely love her as his daughter, and not just see her as a tool for exchanging benefits.
But now, Noah Yates is a businessman.
An ambitious, profit-seeking businessman, how could he possibly be sentimental?
He does care for Scarlett, but compared to his grand ambitions, such affection is negligible.
For this marriage, Maxwell Saxon gave him an irresistible gift, and in the face of this great temptation, whether Scarlett felt pain or happiness wouldn’t sway his decision.
He pretended to consider for a moment, looking troubled, furrowed his brow: "Scarlett, Dad won’t misjudge people, Maxwell Saxon will be a reliable husband, he will genuinely prioritize you more than anything else. Compared to Matthew Saxon, he is so much better. The reason you feel he isn’t good now is because you’ve been bewitched by Matthew Saxon. He’s met countless people and knows how to handle women. You were a blank slate emotionally before meeting him, how could you resist his allure?"
"You’re still young, some things you can’t see through or understand. You’re blinded by the situation, but Dad has always been good at judging people. You have to trust me, Dad truly wants you to be happy. It’s okay if you don’t understand Dad’s good intentions now, one day you will realize everything I did was for your own good."
"This matter is settled. Once I’ve finished handling urgent matters, I’ll send out the invitations. By then, we’ll invite the elite of A Country to a grand wedding and let you get married in style."
As expected...
She was still unrealistic, actually fantasizing that Noah might change his mind.
Such thoughts were naive and laughable. Soon, she was ruthlessly slapped in the face by reality.
Scarlett’s lips slightly curled up, forming a faint smile at the corners of her mouth: "Dad, have you informed everyone you need to? Is there anything else? If not, I’d like to go back to my room and rest early."
Noah saw her displeasure. He felt a pang of guilt about this matter. With Scarlett looking at him with mocking eyes, he felt a bit uncomfortable, so he nodded, stood up, and said, "There’s nothing else, you go upstairs and rest. If you still feel unwell tomorrow, have the doctor come to the house and check on you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Scarlett already stood up, turned, and headed for the stairs.
Noah furrowed his brow, sighed softly, and shook his head.
After all, they’d been separated for so many years, the deep father-daughter bond from before had long changed.
The daughter who used to depend on him, act coy with him, and trusted and admired him completely couldn’t be found again.
Noah felt a faint sense of melancholy.
But one can’t have both fish and bear’s paw.
He missed and longed for the old life, the years he most often reminisced about were those ordinary days, but he couldn’t go back to the past now.
