Chapter 322: She Already Has Someone She Likes

Just as Chu Nan was about to try again, a communication notification sounded from the personal terminal on his wrist.

He stopped in surprise and lowered his head to see that it was a communication request from Dunleavy.

“Heh, Chu Nan, Elvy should be asleep, right?” As soon as Dunleavy appeared on the virtual screen, he immediately asked.

Chu Nan turned to look in the direction of Elvy’s room.

“Yes, he should be asleep. Why? Did you deliberately avoid Elvy and specially send me a message to say something?”

“Smart.” Dunleavy smiled and gave Chu Nan a thumbs up. Then, his expression became serious. He paused for a moment and continued, “Do you know why Elvy quarreled with my father?”

“This…” Chu Nan frowned slightly,” This is your family’s matter, how would I know? ”

“You saved Elvy’s life. You’re not an outsider to me now, so it’s fine to tell you,” Dunleavy said. “Do you still remember? I once told you that she was not happy living at her aunt’s house on Earth.”

Chu Nan nodded.

“Could it be that Elvy and your father quarreled because of this problem?”

“Half of it is because of this problem. Father asked Elvy to continue staying at Aunt’s house after reporting to Star Cloud Academy. She was unwilling.”

“Of course she’s unwilling.” Chu Nan shrugged, “I’ve seen Elvy once when I was on Earth. Even a fool can tell that she was very unhappy at that time. Now, you’re asking her to continue staying at your aunt’s house. It would be strange if she was willing.”

Dunleavy smiled bitterly, “Actually, Father knows this very well, but he has other considerations.”

“So you’d rather pressure Elvy and ignore her own wishes?”

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Chu Nan’s tone, the bitter smile on Dunleavy’s face deepened.

“Chu Nan, regardless of whether it’s Father or us, there are times when we have no choice.”

Chu Nan sneered with a disdainful expression.

“I don’t understand what you rich families are thinking, but in my opinion, since Elvy is your father’s daughter and your sister, the first thing you should consider is to let her live happily, not throw her into an environment that makes her unhappy because of some other nonsense. Dunleavy, you know I have a sister too. If anyone makes my sister unhappy, I’ll definitely make them unhappy. You should understand what I mean.”

“It’s precisely because of you that I made up my mind to persuade Father to give up on that idea.” Dunleavy smiled, “Of course, to be honest, I have to thank those guys who captured Elvy. If not for them causing such a thing and letting Father understand the importance of her in his heart, it would have been very difficult for me to persuade him. Of course, the most important thing is to thank you for saving her.”

“Don’t say these polite words anymore. You’ve already said enough.” Chu Nan waved his hand, “Then, why did you specially send me a message? It can’t be just to thank me, right? Also, you said that letting Elvy stay at your aunt’s house is only half the reason for her argument with your father. What’s the other half?”

Dunleavy looked at Chu Nan with a slightly strange gaze before smiling, “The other thing I want to talk to you about is related to the other half of the reason.”

“Oh? What is it?”

“This…” Who knew that Dunleavy would hesitate at this moment? He looked at Chu Nan with a strange expression for a long time before continuing, “Chu Nan, don’t hit me if you tell me.”

Chu Nan was stunned, “Why would I hit you? Moreover, we’re almost a hundred light-years apart now. Can I hit you? Tell me, what does the other half of the reason have to do with me?”

“Yes.” Dunleavy nodded lightly and pondered for a moment. As if giving up on his dilemma, he sighed and said, “Do you know? Father insisted that Elvy stay at my aunt’s house after arriving on Earth because my other distant cousin who’s not related by blood will also stay at my aunt’s house during this period of time.”

“And?”

“Then… Father actually wants to let Elvy and my cousin, Roddick… cough… you know.”

Chu Nan was enlightened and speechless.

“I say, isn’t Elvy only 14 years old this year? Isn’t your father too anxious?”

“Father wants them to know each other earlier and nurture their relationship. When she’s old, it’ll be natural…” Dunleavy had a helpless expression. Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with his father’s idea, but he could not resist.

“Then, Elvy definitely won’t do it?” Chu Nan asked again.

“Yes, Elvy had always spoken to me in private many times. She hated this Cousin Roddick, so I knew that it would be very difficult for them to succeed. After Father revealed this thought to her, she immediately quarreled with him and even chose to leave home. You know what happened after that.”

Only then did Chu Nan understand.

No wonder Elvy’s reaction was so intense after arguing with her father. It turned out that the two things her father did were too against her wishes. It would be strange if she was happy.

“Right, what does this have to do with me?”

Dunleavy looked troubled. He coughed lightly and said, “I told you not to hit me.”

“Tell me quickly.” Chu Nan urged impatiently.

“This… When I persuaded Father previously, I told him to follow Elvy’s wishes well, especially not to force her to like someone she doesn’t like…”

“That’s right. What did your father say?”

“After this incident, Father’s thoughts changed a lot. Coupled with the fact that Mother had persuaded him before, I easily convinced him.”

“Yes, that’s a good thing. Elvy will definitely be very happy when she finds out.” Chu Nan smiled sincerely, “Then? Why is this related to me?”

Dunleavy revealed a strange expression again and stared at Chu Nan for a long time. It was only when his strange gaze made Chu Nan’s hair stand on end that he hesitantly said, “In order to convince Father, I told him that Elvy doesn’t like Cousin Roddick at all because she has someone she likes.”

Chu Nan suddenly had a bad feeling.

His expression tensed as he stared at Dunleavy and asked, “What did you say?”

Dunleavy tilted his head as if he did not dare to look into Chu Nan’s eyes.

“About that… I told Father that the person Elvy likes… is you…”

Chu Nan blankly looked at Dunleavy. After a long time, he suddenly jumped up from the bed and roared.

“Damn!”
