Chapter 891 Frequent Exploration
When Libby heard this, she couldn't help but stop him in distress,
"Miles, it's almost early morning. Not to mention Casper, you already look very tired. Can you talk tomorrow?" owns this.
Miles said to Libby, "you rest first" and walked upstairs. Casper smiled at her and followed.
Libby stood downstairs and watched her husband and son go upstairs, feeling a little worried and feeling that something was wrong.
When he came to the study, Miles tore off the tie that had been worn all night and sat on the rocking chair, then stared at Casper for a moment.
Casper stood at the door for a while. Noticing that Miles' eyes were wrong, he knew it must be because of tonight's episode that made him suspicious. So, he took the initiative to walk to the bookcase, picked up a bottle of Windsor Diamond Jubilee in the most conspicuous place and said with emotion,
"Dad, so you still have this bottle of wine?"
Miles raised his eyebrows, stared at every movement of Casper, and replied,
"Of course, do you still remember the origin of this wine?"
"Dad, are you kidding me?" Casper laughed exaggeratedly, looked at Miles and said,
"This bottle of Windsor Diamond Jubilee is a gift for your 50th birthday that I spent all my pocket money on. How can I not remember its origin? Although this bottle of wine is only worth two million, there is only one in the country. I begged for a long time before I got the original owner to transfer it to me."
As soon as Casper heard Miles' question, he knew that he must be suspicious, so he couldn't help but feel grateful that he used the threat to get these important information about his parents from the real Casper, which must have dispelled Miles' suspicion.
Sure enough, when Casper said this, Miles' eyes softened a little, and he said,
"It's because of your filial piety that I'm reluctant to drink it all the time, so I keep it on the bookcase. Casper, I have only one son. You must not let me down."
"Of course." Casper was delighted in his heart, and quickly expressed his determination. "I will never let you and Mom down."
The person in front of him spoke eloquently and looked sincere. Miles's heart wavered. He stood up slowly and walked towards Casper while saying,
"To be honest, since you returned, I've always felt that you have changed. You become mature and sensible. Sometimes I can't help feeling that you are like a different person."
When he finished speaking, Miles walked up to Casper, and put his hand on his shoulder, staring at him closely with a pair of eyes soaked in time.
Casper's heart skipped a beat, and he wondered, did Miles say this intentionally or unintentionally?
However, he can act.
Putting his hand on Miles' hand, Casper said solemnly,
"Dad, I know that I was too naive before. I always felt that you... are too sophisticated and have close contacts with people of underworld. I didn't know what I was thinking at that time. I always wanted to escape this complicated family environment, so I ran away. I went to study abroad, but after that accident, I suddenly realize the irreplaceable importance of you to me when I was in a foreign country with no relatives. I want to come back, share the burden for you, and carry forward our family."
Casper's words were sincere, and he almost acted out the real Casper's expression when he talked about this. Miles frowned slightly, and his eyes flickered frequently, obviously moved. "Good son! You have really grown up." Miles said with emotion.
"Now that my company has been established, I will be able to get rid of Nia's help in a short time. Dad, I am very confident that I can win half of the market in Athegate with my own strength!" Casper vowed. "Okay, I'm waiting to see your results." Miles nodded frequently and said, "Okay, it's getting late. You have to get up early tomorrow. Go to rest."
"I'm going to say goodnight to Mom. Dad, don't stay too busy. I think your mental state is not very good tonight." Casper said worriedly.
"I understand. Go." After speaking, Miles waved Casper to leave, and after the door of the study was closed, Miles came to the bottle of Windsor Diamond Jubilee, staring at it for a long time. No one knew what was going on in his heart.
After leaving the study, Casper closed the door behind him, and heaved a long sigh of relief. It seemed that he had dispelled Miles' suspicion with tender means, but he did not doubt Miles' intentions too much, because he was already guilty.
Standing in front of the door, as soon as he looked up, he saw Libby standing far away at the stairs, looking around worriedly. Casper calmed down, smiled and walked towards her. The play must continue.
"Mom, I'm just talking to Dad. Why are you so worried?" Walking up to Libby, Casper looked at her tenderly and said.
"Your dad hasn't been in the situation tonight. I'm worried about him. He didn't say anything to you just now, right?" Libby asked with a slight frown while holding her son's hand.
"He just said something to motivate me. Maybe it's because I've been too smooth recently. Dad has always been cautious, so he reminded me to work harder and not be complacent." Casper said with a smile. "So that's how it is," Libby heaved a sigh of relief, and with a smile on her face, she said,
"It's no wonder he thinks that way. Even I'm surprised. You have grown so much in less than a year. The guests have been praising you tonight. You have this ability, but you have to be humble."
"I understand," Casper put his arms around Libby's shoulders, and said affectionately, "I will not disappoint your expectations. Mom, it's late. I'll take you back to your room to rest."
"You child," Libby was amused by Casper's words. "It's only a few steps away. Go back to your room and rest."
"Yeah." Casper smiled mischievously. Just passing by his room at this time, he said good night to Libby and went back to the room.
Libby stood at the door of the room and looked at it for a while, hesitated for a moment and then did not go back to her room, but walked to the study.
Pushing open the door, Libby saw her husband standing motionless in front of the bookcase at a glance, with an extremely solemn expression on his face. The two had been married for many years, so how could she not see that he had something on his mind?
"Miles, what happened? Can you not hide it from me?" Libby asked, walking slowly towards her husband.
Although Miles had had many women over the years, Libby was his regular wife, and she accompanied him all the way through hardships in the early years. So, he still had tender feelings for her. Seeing that Libby was worried about him, Miles chose to hide it.
"It's okay. I'm just worried that Casper is young, and sometimes he's not thoughtful. How about this? You can mention it when he leaves tomorrow, and let Billy and Rhys follow him back to Athegate, so that they can take care of him normally."
