Please Take Me Home Daddy (by Mona Surrey) novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197

Meriel walked through the villa’s hallway with a worried face at night.

She knocked on one of the rooms.

Carol said, “Come in.”

࿐77%

Meriel pushed the door open and went in, but before she could say anything, Carol said, “I already know everything.

How’s Rachel?”

Meriel replied in a muffled voice, “She has recovered from her dizziness, but now she’s crying in her bedroom. After all, she had lost to Laura all day and watched as she received Sebastian’s invitation. She felt guilty and ashamed.”

Carol looked through the files casually and said, “Do you think Laura’s interview performance will be better than

Rachel’s?”

Meriel froze, then she nodded and said, “Yes. Honestly, Laura is talented, smart, and very pretty. She is better in all aspects than Rachel, who doesn’t have any advantages over her except being older and more mature.”

Carol thought for a while and put down the files. “It’s normal for her to lose since she’s not as good as Laura.”

Meriel wasn’t convinced. “Then the intellectual development experiments will fail sooner or later. And if our subject doesn’t achieve anything, we won’t attract any investments.”

“Stop Laura from competing then. I don’t care how you’re gonna do it.” Carol said with a cruel face, “Just don’t let her die.”

Stunned for a second, Meriel understood what she meant. “Got it.”

Three days later, Favian half–knelt in front of Laura and helped her put on her Mary Jane shoes.

She wore a black strap ball gown today, with her hair in a bun and a pearl hair clip, looking like an elegant princess.

It was a perfect outfit for the interview.

Favian stood up and looked down at her, “I have a meeting later so I can’t accompany you to the interview. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. The result doesn’t matter. However, if you beat the other interviewees, I’ll buy you anything

you want.”

Laura swung her legs and said with an innocent look, “Mommy Winnie said the same thing. She said that she would buy me whatever I wanted if I won.”

Favian raised his eyebrows and nodded, saying, “Then you get a double reward. I’ll keep my word.”

Laura looked more expectant. She leaned forward and asked curiously, “Is Mr. Fuller really good?”

Favian said, “Well, if you became Sebastian’s student, you could likely be involved in composing film soundtracks and performing in various concert halls. However, if you became Tyler’s student, you would have a group of subordinates who listen to your commands, with some even willing to sacrifice their lives for you. The only problem is that your job would be

very dangerous.”

She was both confused and curious. “Can’t I be a composer and have a group of subordinates who only listen to me at the

same time?”

Stunned, Favian laughed and said, “Are you trying to play the role of a popular genius girl in public while secretly being a ruthless killer? You want to hold classical music concerts while selling planes, don’t you?”

Laura felt excited after hearing that. “Yes, I do!”

She wanted to learn many things and become an outstanding person. She wanted to keep singing and acting, but she also wanted to fight like Joshua.

Favian smiled and shook his head. “Let’s talk about it after you pass Sebastian’s interview. By the way, I can show you an easier way. Be Tyler’s student, and soon you’ll be Sebastian’s student because he won’t say no to Tyler.”

Laura thought for a while and began to feel nervous. “What if I fail? Will you blame me?”

Favian frowned and asked, “Why would I blame you? Isn’t it normal to fail?”

Feeling insecure, Laura continued in a muffled voice, “My classmates say that they will be blamed by their parents if they fail the exam. I don’t want to let you down.”

Favian was stunned. Somehow, Laura’s anxious look reminded him of Lilian’s disappointed look and heartbroken words.

“You’ll never understand me, Favian. How could someone who won first place in his grade every year possibly understand my thoughts? Do you think I’m doing this for the reward? No. All I’ve ever wanted from the very beginning was my family’s recognition!”

“If I fail, I won’t receive any rewards or see the smiles of recognition from everyone. You’ve taken countless trophies while I’ve given it my all and gotten nothing. Do you know how much this unfairness hurts me? I just feel I’m leaving a miserable life!”

Favian came back to his senses and looked at Laura again. “No, I won’t blame you.”

Laura looked up at him in a daze.

Favian put his hand in his pocket and said with a meaningful expression, “You don’t need other people’s recognition. All you have to do is be yourself. Whether you succeed or fail, I will reward you.”

Laura was surprised. “Is there a reward for me even if I fail?”

Favian said firmly, “Yeah, I’ll reward you no matter the result, and no matter what choice you make, you’ll get what you want as long as you put your best effort into it.”

Surprised, Laura suddenly felt motivated. “OK! I’ll try my best!”

After saying that, she ran to the car outside and waved at him. “I’m leaving!”

Favian nodded gracefully, watching her run to the car and having tears in his black eyes.

Somehow, he had a strong feeling that Laura would succeed, but it was okay if she wouldn’t.

Anyway, the Yale family could support her for the rest of her life.

All he wanted was for her not to live the same life as her mother.

Favian took out his phone and sent a message in the family group chat: [Laura is on her way to an interview. Don’t blame her if she fails. She’s under a lot of pressure.]

Winnie: [That’s so kind of you, Favian. It seems that you’ve adapted well to having a daughter, Is it better than being single? Would you still want her to live with me?]

Favian: [Shut up.]

Antonio: [I’ve made a reservation in a restaurant. Whether she succeeds or fails, we’ll have dinner tonight.]

Jasper: [I’ve already prepared a gift for her, and I’ll give it to her no matter the result.]

Louis:[Enough… Do you have to idealize a child as a genius?]

System: [Louis was removed from the group chat by administrator Antonio.]

Everett: [Am I the only one who expects Laura to invite us to dinner after she successfully passes the interview? I can’t wait to make her pay!]

System: [Everett was removed from the group chat by administrator Xander.]

Dexter: [Is my daughter–in–law going to the interview? Send me the address, and I’ll be flying to cheer for her!]

Antonio: [Why are you in this group chat?]

Dexter: [We grew up together, Antonio! What’s wrong with me in this group chat? I have to keep an eye on you!]

System: [Dexter was removed from the group chat by administrator Antonio.]

System: [Dexter was invited to join the group chat by administrator Winnie.]

Winnie: [I feel bored at work. Keep fighting. I like it.].

Antonio: [Aren’t you the CEO?]

Winnie: [Can’t the CEO just slack off?]

Dexter: [Come on. You can pretend that you’re working.]

Favian: [Let’s get back on track and talk about the rewards. I need each of you to share what rewards you’ll offer. Do you have time for a party?)

Laura felt that her phone kept buzzing, so she picked it up, only to see those confusing messages in the group chat.

She glanced at the time. It only took her forty minutes to get to the theater, and she had to wait another thirty minutes to start the interview after she arrived.

She would be just in time.

Just then, Sheryl sent her a voice message. “Don’t forget our special training over the last three days, Laura. You can do

it!”

Laura replied to her with a cat meme,

She did prepare a lot for today’s interview, and the first thing she did was choose a song for it with Sheryl

After careful selection, she finally chose the song “Love Song” by a children’s choir from Hampton and learned how to sing

this song in Hamptonese.

The children’s choir’s voice was similar to hers, so the song choice was wise. After three days of intensive training, the finally felt satisfied with her current performance.

She believed that she would win today.

At the same time, Zayn got out of the car at the gate of the theater.

A few seconds later, Jasper, Xander, and Everett also got out of the car.

They looked each other in the eye.

Jasper frowned and asked, “Are you here to accompany Laura to the interview?”

Zayn shook his head and said, “No. I’m here for the piano grade text.

Jasper said, “What a coincidence. We’re also here for the piano grade text.”

Xander said indifferently, “Laura is also here today and we’re going to hold a party after her interview. Would you like to join us?”

Everett said excitedly, “If she becomes Sebastian’s student, she’ll be much more excellent than me. She must pay for tonight’s party!”

Xander slapped him on the back of his head. “How could you ask someone much younger than you to treat you to a meal?”

Everett held his head in pain and said, “Fine, I’ll go get her favorite ice cream right away. I’m sorry!”

Instead of refusing Xander’s invitation, Zayn looked back.
