    Chapter 779 She Didn’t Receive


    Any Replies Theodore answered with a smile, without any hint of the Chairman’s demeanor. He was


    approachable and joked, “Yes, yes, you’ve epted this gift, and you’re still calling me Uncle? I’m


    really heartbroken. Can I still take back this money?”


    Scarlet patted Theodore’s hand and said, “How is that possible? Once a gift is given, it can’t be taken


    back. If Evie doesn’t want to change what she calls you, that’s okay. You can just find a little corner to


    be sad for a while.”


    “Aren’t you sad?” Theodore looked at Scarlet and rubbed the back of his hand in front of Scarlet.


    “Sadness is unavoidable at times.”


    Stephen looked at Evie and leaned in closer, whispering, “It was you who asked me to bring you back


    for New Year’s Eve, but now in this situation, there’s nothing I can do to help you.” Evie blushed a little


    and whispered, “Dad, Mom.” Stephen didn’t expect Evie to change what Evie called his parents so


    quickly.


    Theodore and Scarlet responded withughter that they couldn’t contain Stephen looked at Evie and


    was momentarily speechless. Evie looked back at Stephen and whispered, “What’s wrong?” Stephen


    replied softly, “I’m a bit surprised.”


    Evie was a little puzzled, not understanding what surprise Stephen was talking about. Just then,


    Theodore’s voice rang out. His gaze fell on Za. “Don’tugh. Just listen to how lovely Evie calls us.


    And think about how you usually address us?”


    This was the first time Za knew what it meant to be targeted even when one was not involved. Za


    raised a smile and muttered deliberately, “I didn’t get any gifts to change what I call you.” Theodore


    didn’t expect Za to say that.


    “You ungrateful brat! You should check your ount bnce. You’re still thinking about these two gifts?


    We gave birth to you and raised you, and you’re asking for gifts to change what you call You ungrateful


    brat with no conscience.”


    “There’s nothing I can do, and I just take after you, my father.” After saying that, Za took a piece of


    sliced pig heart and put it in Theodore’s bowl. “You should take care of your health. We have to stop


    this at its source.


    Theodore was stunned. Scarletughed directly. “You’re getting up there in years, yet you’re still


    bickering with your daughter every day. I think Za’s right. You’re the source of this.”


    Then, Theodore looked at Stephen and asked, “Aren’t you going to say anything?” Stephen cleared his


    throat and picked up a spoon from the side. “Dad, let me serve you some soup to help you keep


    healthy.” Theodore was speechless. Theodore couldn’t stand being here any longer! Dinner continued,


    and therge screen lit They began to watch TV.


    This was Evie’s first time spending New Year’s Eve with her future inws as their soon-to-be


    daughter-inw. As expected, she would be watching TV with her fiancé and keeping her future


    parents-inwpany. Theodore and Scarlet really liked Evie, and after just one meal, they had a


    pretty good idea of what kind of person Evie was.


    This was not only a talent, but also their wealth of experience in the business world. But… Their


    experience also told them that Stephen didn’t love Evie.


    At least they couldn’t tell that Stephen had any feelings for Evie. What they see was Stephen’s care


    and concern for Evie, which seemed more like a courtesy.


    Scarlet had a very joyful New Year’s Eve this year, but there was also a bit of sadness in her heart.


    Scarlet thought that Evie, this sweet girl deserved better. Za sipped her juice and checked her phone


    from time to time, but she didn’t receive any replies to the Line messages she had sent out.


    The “Lincoln, Happy New Year” message seemed to have sunk like a stone in the ocean. Lincoln only


    made one phone call to her after arriving in Valley City, to report his safety uponnding. Other than


    that, there had been no news from him.

    Za didn’t know what Lincoln was doing in Valley City, but she was certain that Lincoln must have had


    urgent matters to attend to during New Year’s Eve. Za was a little worried.


    But then Za thought that Lincoln was an absolute powerhouse, and no matter how difficult the


    situation was, he would handle it with ease. And he must be upied since he didn’t respond.


    All night long, Za seemed a little absent-minded. Za walked out of the vi and into the courtyard.


    After seeing that, Stephen frowned and stepped into the courtyard. What are you doing alone in the


    yard?”
