I smiled awkwardly, saying, "How could that be, Dad? I''m here to see you now, aren''t I?"


    Ardie, who was holding the basket of fruit, chimed in. "These are some fruit she bought for you from Foswood."


    "We picked those from the orchard in Pleca Parkst night." I quickly added, "Ava personally picked them for you." "Oh?" Archie looked delighted. "Get them to wash this for me, I''ll try them. Is that mischievous little girl doing alright?"Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "She''s doing great. I''ll bring her to see you next time." I said to Archie. They really liked Ava, especially because of her mischievous charm.


    "You shoulde sooner. The winter weather in Sris is terrible. This season is just right."


    He then asked me, "How''s thepany doing over here?"


    "Everything''s going well. As has entrusted it to some reliable people, so I don''t need toe over so often. The operations here have been well-organized, and As always tells me to keep a low profile," I said that to reassure him.


    He nodded. "Hmm, that''s good. As is a careful one. Looks like I don''t need to worry about that at all."


    "I came here mainly to see Dominic. He helped me when mypany ran into some difficultiesst time. But his wife was seriously ill then. I caught up and helped take care of her for a few days. After that, I always wanted to visit again. I wanted to check on the project and visit that couple too."


    "That''s good, Chloe, that''s the way to go. You should always repay kindness when you can," Archie praised.


    "In fact, Dominic''s a great person." I started telling Archie about Dominic.


    "Dominic is a bit of a schr. His child passed away in a construction ident when he was young. He wanted to stop anything like that from ever happening again, so he resigned from his position as a university professor and focused on quality control in construction materials. He''s developed aplete set of inspection data standards. He''s a very stubborn man, but I do feel sorry for that couple sometimes."


    "I''ve heard about him. He''s an excellent chemistry professor," Archie remarked.


    "Yes, that''s him. His inspection


    methods are trustworthy and widely recognized in the industry." I continued, "I''m currently looking to turn Tanum Construction into a high-end brand like Pinnacle Group, so strict quality control is essential. I want to use our high quality to establish my brand in the construction industry. I''ll need the recognition and appraisal of expert professionals for that."


    "Good. You''re certainly someone who gets things done." Archie, upon hearing my words, expressed his approval.


    He turned to Ardie and instructed, "Tell Gina to get dinner ready now. After dinner, your brother can take you to see that couple." "There''s no rush. I do want to talk with you for a while," I said quickly when I saw that he was so eager to arrange things for me.


    "No, it''s important for you to go see them. We can chat anytime. We''re


    family all. We can continue our


    conversation after you return. I don''t usually go to bed early anyway." en.swhovels


    After saying that, he asked Gina to prepare dinner.


    It was clear that he was a decisive man.


    The meal turned out to be a true family feast, with simple and not extravagant dishes.


    But Archie said to me, "I asked for two more dishes since you were here. We''re family, so there was no need to be extra."


    Iughed, "Of course. I''ll eat


    something? No way. It''s just that I didn''t expect to have a home to

    He seemed pleased with my words,ughing heartily. "You really are my daughter."


    To be honest, the meal was veryforting. It really felt likeing home.
