Chapter 102
Chapter 102
Wallace only had this one precious daughter, and he adored her immensely. In front of guests, he might say a few words, but at home, she was the apple of his eye, and he cherished her beyond measure.
He seldom took Melody out unless she was interested. But he had never taken her to meet Nash. Nash was such a headstrong person, he worried that his daughter couldn’t handle him. Previously, he had thought about introducing Melody to Scott. Scott had a good personality, and if his daughter married him, she wouldn’t suffer. But things had changed now; Scott liked Nina, and they could al see that.
Melody was more interested in Nash, so he could only comply with her wishes and see if it could work out.
Besides them, Wallace also had some friends coming over. They were mostly uncles and older relatives who had watched Melody grow up and were quite fond of her. When they arrived, they inquired about her well-being, and Melody greeted them graciously.
After everyone had gathered, Melody looked at Nash and asked, “Mr. York, do you have any dietary restrictions? Or is there anything you particularly like to eat?”
Nash was taken aback by the sudden question and responded curtly, “I’ll leave the ordering up to you.”
Those uncles and older relatives couldn’t help teasing, “Melody, with so many of us around, you didn’t ask us first but went straight to Mr. York. Looks like our daughter has really grown up and her heart is flying elsewhere!”
Melody blushed with embarrassment, “Don’t tease me, I know all of you well. How could I not know what you like?”
They all laughed along. Everyone understood what was being implied. There was a notion to familiarize her with Nash and play matchmaker, but it depended on the individuals involved.
The daughter of Wallace came for Nash, her purpose clear.
Nina had been by Nash’s side for many years and had seen many women come for him. But Melody’s approach was the most direct she had encountered.
She placed her gaze on Nash, who lifted his glass to drink water and remained silent. His emotions were inscrutable
They chatted at the dinner table, mostly about donations and future plans. Nina learned that Nash had collaborations with Wallace. These were matters in which Nina didn’t need to participate; she quietly listened on the sidelines.

Lu Shen chatted with others, but he didn’t forget to serve her food, which made her feel self-conscious.
She looked at Scott and asked when he was free, “Scott, about what you said earlier outside…”
“It’s true,” Scott knew what she was going to ask and didn’t hide anything. Previously, he didn’t want to alarm her. This time, he wanted to make a move.
Nina continued, “But you mentioned at the reunion that you liked someone. How could it be
Scott spoke softly, “I didn’t want to put you in a difficult spot, so I said that.” He looked at Nina. “But I do have feelings for you.”
Nina didn’t know what to say. She still thought it was a joke.
Noticing her bowing her head, Scott gently asked, “You must be wondering why I’ve
developed such strong feelings for you so my return and our recent encounter.
on after Considering my current status, with many women around me, it’s unlikely for me to be easily attracted to a woman, especially to be so certain in front of Mr. Wallace.” He articulated what Nina had beer thinking.
She nodded and replied, “At the class reunion, it was only our second meeting.”
Scott held a glass of water and took a sip. “Nina, actually, I’ve liked you since middle school.”
Nina was stunned. “Middle school?”
Scott said, “Otherwise, how would I know so much about your preferences? I’ve been paying attention to you since middle school. But you were so outstanding back then, I felt unworthy of you. So, I’ve been striving to become someone who deserves you, someone who could meet you like this.”
