Hector was startled, but he smiled at Zayn. "Young man, do you know me? You must have come to my store and bought something there. I have never expected you to become my son-in-law, but you have a good eye. My daughter is the cream of the crop. She graduated from a famous college and is currently working in the largest company in South City. I also heard that her boss appreciates her.”
"Mister Caven, my name is Zayn Smith. I am the current director of the Smith Group. You should have heard of it, right?" Zayn looked calmly at Hector.
Hector had been peeling an onion in his hands. Suddenly, the onion fell to the ground. He glanced at Zayn in horror, and then he immediately fixed his expression. Hastily, he laughed as he looked at Tessa." You little girl, why did you...not inform me beforehand that you have found a rich boyfriend? You gave me a shock."
Tessa then wrapped her hands around Hector's neck. " Dad! Although Zayn is the director of the Smith Group, he is just my boyfriend in my eyes .For you...he should also just be your future son-in-law. He is not here to put up airs!"
Hector immediately nodded. "Mm-hmm, my daughter i s right!”
He held the onion in his head and subconsciously
wiped his tears. Zayn had taken in the entire scene in his eyes. However, seeing that Tessa was so happy, and seeing that Hector was trying his best to hide it, Zayn also did not say anything else anymore.
After all, to young Tessa, she should have no clue about this matter at all. Even if the father had done something in the past, the child should not be guilty. Besides, Hector loved his child very much. Zayn could tell that from the time when Tessa was almost one year old. He did not say anything and just followed Tessa into the Laven residence.
The Laven residence was truly not bad. It was a small detached mansion, and there were two cars in the house. There was also an old grandmother in the house. She was Hector's mother.
The dinner was truly awkward. Tessa's grandma kept staring at Zayn without moving her gaze at all. She would stare for a moment, and smile at the next.
Zayne felt that each time he smiled, even he himself felt that it was very fake. With much difficulty, they had finally finished the dinner. Hector then instructed Tessa, "Tessa, go chat with your grandma for a while. I want to speak to Zayn alone."
"Dad! You're not allowed to put Zayn in a difficult position!" Tessa pouted.
