Perhaps he was worried about her. But she was fine now, so why did he still have such a look in his eyes? However, what surprised her was that he knew about it the second year. "It seems the news had spread to Estaland," Nina responded.
Scott continued. "That year, I came back once."
Nina stared at him, unsure of what he was about to say, but he went on, returned to Estaland, without even getting a chance to say hello to you."
"It's okay. We weren't that close back then," Nina replied.
"But I quickly
Scott just smiled. "Yeah, we weren't close like we are now. But looking back, I regret it. If I hadn't gone abroad, things might have been different. I could have protected you when you were in danger, preventing you from getting hurt. They couldn't have kidnapped you if I was there."
"You have quite the sense of humor," Nina didn't take his words too seriously as they carried a half-joking tone.
"I heard from Mr. Walker that you later developed post-traumatic stress disorder and took nearly half a year to recover. It must have been tough for you," Scott said.
It just so happened that it occurred shortly after he went abroad. Unfortunately, he wasn't there during the most difficult time of her life.
By the time he found out and came back, she was already doing much better, having entered the best high school in the city. Nina was still Nina, excelling in everything she did.
He also knew that someone had saved her, allowing her to come back to life. He often wondered, if it had been him who saved her, things might have turned out differently, and they wouldn't have had to wait until more than ten years later to start anew.
However, he didn't choose that path.
He wanted to be outstanding enough to stand before her in the best light.
"It's all in the past now, and I've moved on," Nina told him. "But I didn't expect you to know so much about me-my preferences and significant events in my life. You seem well-informed. I almost thought you did some thorough research."
"I learned from chatting with Mr. Walker," Scott replied with a smile. "He only has you as his precious daughter, so naturally, he talks about you a lot. I just listened in."
Nina also knew that her father always had her on his mind.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Oh, and please don't take my dad's drunken words to heart," Nina continued. "He tends to
talk nonsense when he's drunk, but he doesn't remember anything when he wakes up. I hope it doesn't put too much pressure on you. If he does it again, just tell him the truth-that you have someone you like."
She remembered what Scott had said before-that he had someone he liked so she couldn't let him be troubled by misunderstandings.
"I don't mind," Scott said. "You don't have to worry too much about me. I enjoy chatting with Mr. Walker. It's great that he likes me."
"Huh?" Nina was taken aback for a moment.
Scott stopped there, stood up, and said tactfully, "I'll have to catch up with Mr. Walker for tea next time."
Nina felt a bit concerned. Scott knew so much about her, cared for her, and enjoyed chatting with her dad.
Someone might think he had feelings for her.
However, he already liked someone else, so she dismissed the thought.
It was unlikely.
