Snare of Love novel Chapter 397

Only Matthew made her frightened but she wanted to get closer to him.

Eddie patted her hand, “Don’t worry. I’m your back up with me around.”

“Dad, do you really want me to marry him?” she asked.

She was also a person with pride and self-respect. It was obvious that Matthew wasn’t attracted to her. It would only make him dislike her even more if forcing him to marry her.

Eddie didn’t explained his thoughts in a hurried manner, but analysed the pros and cons with her.

“Why did the Nelson family and the Harris family ally by the marriage in the first place?” he didn’t want her to answer as she didn’t know what happened before, “It was just a family alliance when Jolene Harris get married with Jayden Nelson. One was reigning the officialdom while the other was dominating in the business field. What would be the situation if such two people formed their family?”

She thought for a moment, “Real power.”

Such two families joined forces and served to help each other. It would only make their own position steady.

“Which family has been able to outshine the two families over these years? Look at what happened to Herbert family. What happened to them in the end? Once they were also a well-known family.”

He snorted, “In three children, two of them had given in to Jeffery.”

He looked at her daughter, “Only if we join this stronghold, then we can stand on this aspect of field for a long time.”

She understood the reasoning behind this and she also wanted to help her father.

It was just that …

She was afraid of facing Matthew.

“You don’t have to worry about anything. I will prepare the way for you.” He reassured her, “My daughter, you’re not a timid and fearful person. Take out your usual bossy strength.”

Her eyes seemed to hide a few shyness, “He is the most charming man I’ve ever met. I want to be his wife …”

And to be loved by him.

“It’ll do.”

He caressed her face and his eyes seemed to be looking at another person in a trance, “If you want something, you’ve to work hard for it, otherwise you’ll only regret.”

She looked at his father and was a little surprised, “Did daddy have any regrets when you were young?”

Usually he was very rigid as he was someone who had spent half his life in the army after all. He looked powerful and mighty even if he wasn’t angry.

She had never seen such a softer side of his father.

He recovered his wits, withdrew his hand and returned to his usual appearance, “It won’t be perfect since one lives a lifetime.”

She held his arm, “You’re so sentimental. Did you have someone you liked when you were young?”

Eddie and her mother were introduced to each other on a blind date. As her mother was gentle and obedient to him, she was considered a virtuous wife. However, there was no affection.

This was something she knew also.

Her mother had told her before that he loved a person.

Was he thinking of that person in his mind as he was so sentimental suddenly?

“You’re a kid. Don’t pry into adults’ affairs.”
