Chapter 165


    Hansen took off his coat, shook off the snowkes from his body, and calmly sat down on the chair


    opposite him.


    "Hi, Uncle McAdams." He nodded politely and behaved courteously, with calmness and


    determination in his words. He was calm, steady and confident.


    The waiter immediately brought in two servings of medium-well steaks and filled their sses with


    red wine. Soon, the aroma of red wine and steak filled the air in the room.


    "Yeah," Earl replied as he cut the steak elegantly and gently with a smile on his face. He said,


    "Hansen, I''m sorry. I knew it might not be appropriate to ask you out at this hour. I know you''re


    probably busy at work recently,"


    Earl picked up a piece of steak and put it into his mouth. He then started chewing slowly, and smiled


    slightly.


    "Uncle, please don''t be sorry. It is an honor to dine with you." Hansen also skillfully cut the


    medium.well steak, smiling politely. Then he picked up a piece of steak with his fork and put it into


    his mouth and savored it slowly.


    The heater in the box was turned on.


    After a ss of red wine, Earl took off his suit, loosened his tie and his white shirt, held up the


    scarlet-red wine in front of him, and swirled it slightly. The liquid shook slightly, and he slowly raised


    his ss.


    "Come on, Hansen, let me toast you first," he said softly with a peaceful face.


    Hansen slowly put down the fork in his hand when he heard the words, then his slender white


    fingers also picked up the wine ss that was in front of him. He smiled slightly and said, "Uncle


    McAdams, I apologize, I should do it first, so let''s toast each other!"


    When Hansen said this, he didn''t show any change in his expression, and he looked dignified.


    A dim light shed in Earl''s eyes.


    Toast to each other? With that said, they were in equal positions now.


    That night, in the living room of Richards Manor, Hansen ttered Earl as if he was not worthy of


    Earl''s daughter, yet Hansen now implied that they were in equal positions. What did this mean?


    There were a lot of emotional fluctuations in Earl''s heart. However, he was experienced and so he


    didn''t say anything even though he felt dissatisfied. He wanted to see what Hansen would do.


    So far, Hansen had slept with his daughter, but he did not seem to feel even slightly guilty. Instead,


    his face was full of self-confidence. Although it did not appear to be ostentatious, it did not match


    the current atmosphere.


    Earl thought that there were two underlying meanings in his expression. Either it was that he


    nned to marry Aria, so he was confident enough to speak calmly, or Hansen was telling him that


    he did not care about Earl''s identity; he was not afraid of Earl.

    Earl still couldn''t figure out what it was.


    If a man didn''t love a woman, would he sleep with her? What was more, she was Earl'' s daughter.


    Everyone knew the severity of sleeping with his daughter, so how could one be so stupid as to


    cause this ident? After all, there were women everywhere. If he did it for a reason, it could only


    be that he wanted to marry his daughter.


    Earl squinted while thinking of this.


    What? You have already slept with my daughter, today if you don''t give me a satisfactory answer, I''ll


    never let you off the hook!


    At the same time, the two of them picked up their sses and clinked with each other. With a clink,


    the echo of the sses colliding echoed in the box, and the warm air seemed to freeze and was


    shattered by the sound of the clink. The coldness immediately filled the room.


    After finishing the wine, neither of them said anything that was on their minds. They just discussed


    some inconsequential matters.


    There was no waiter in the private room. As soon as Earl came in, he sent the waiter away. Even


    the food was served personally by the manager. Without knowing Hansen''s intentions, he could not


    disclose the pregnancy of his daughter to anyone. Or it would ruin his daughter''s reputation.


    Hansen stood up again to pour him a ss of wine in person, and Earl did not refuse. He should be


    ying the role of the leader on this asion. The two of them continued to drink a few more


    sses. Their faces were a little flushed and they started to feel a little bit drunk.


    Since Earl did not take the initiative to mention anything.


    Hansen didn''t talk about it either.


    They had finished half a bottle of red wine, but didn''t even mention the main thing yet.


    Earl gradually had a bad feeling.


    He thought Hansen was obviously fooling around with him. It seemed that his attitude had not


    changed until now.


    How could he!


    His daughter was already pregnant with his child!


    If Earl still didn''t mention it now, then he was too negligent as a father.


    "Hansen, what are your ns for Aria?" After Earl had another ss of wine, the alcohol kicked in,


    and his mind began to heat up, so he began to question Hansen. He knew that even if Hansen was


    drunk, he would not take the initiative to talk about it either. It seemed that Hansen had no intention


    of saying it at all, and Earl was also anxious to finish the matter. Thinking of this, his face was


    flushed, and he could no longer suppress Hansen with silence. Finally, Earl couldn''t help but ask out


    loud.


    "Uncle McAdams," seeing that Earl had finally begun to question him, Hansen immediately replied


    calmly. Then he continued carefully, "Uncle McAdams, you are a member of the officialdom. You


    should know that some things in the world cannot be forced. still think that marriage is not a trifling


    matter. It should be considered carefully. In addition, your reputation is great and you have a great


    future, so you can''t lose face because of your child''s personal affair, right? A rtionship between


    two people requires willingness from both of them; they can''t be forced together. Otherwise, it will


    hurt everyone. I don''t want to hurt Aria, nor do I want to ruin her career. Now her career has just


    reached its peak. If she bes pregnant at this time, it will be fatal for her. Moreover, Uncle


    McAdams, I really don'' t deserve to be Aria''s husband. She will have a great future and she will


    definitely find a better man to love her in the future. I really am not the one she should marry. I hope


    you can take care of your daughter and think on her behalf. If you see this issue thoroughly, you


    would see the problems here."


    Hansen spoke, full of emotions but not hurriedly, while Earl''s face was livid with anger.


    D*mn, Earl didn''t expect that at this time. Hansen actually dared to fool around with him and say


    such things. Who did he think Earl was and what was he treating his daughter as? Was he treating


    them as his ythings? Although Hansen was smart and courageous enough, they were not fools


    either.


    Since Hansen didn''t want to marry Earl''s daughter, why did he get her pregnant?


    Since she was pregnant now, he needed to be responsible for her!


    How could there be such a good thing in this world where you need not be responsible for a woman


    after you slept with her? Would any responsible man do this?


    Immediately, his face darkened and he rolled his eyes. Then he looked at Hansen in a deterrent


    manner that could hardly be seen, and he spoke with a cold voice.


    "Hansen, I really didn''t expect you to still talk like this. I didn''t expect you to be so irresponsible!


    Even if my daughter is stupid and still loves you, I want to ask you, what do you want?"


    After speaking, his eyes looked straight at Hansen sharply.


    Hansen suddenly felt as if a lot of cold knives were shot at him, and he secretly let out a sigh of


    relief.


    However, Hansen calmed his mind and soon, he was not intimidated by Earl. Jenna''s figure shed


    out of his mind at this moment.


    For their happiness, he must fight at all costs. So he clenched his fists and swore that he would


    never


    Of course, he knew Earl''s intention when he invited him out alone, and the current situation would


    almost determine the rtionship between him and Aria. This step should be taken carefully, and


    his mind must be clear when he spoke.


    He finished the red wine in the ss in front of him in one sip, took the hot towel that was on the


    table, and wiped the corners of his mouth. He spoke very seriously.


    "Uncle McAdams, I''m just saying my real thoughts here. I didn''t mean anything else. Please forgive


    me if it is offensive, but I think my words are reasonable too. Please consider again, if only for the


    sake of Aria. You can ask for it if you have any requirements."


    He knew that a government official like Earl was good at scheming. There was almost no chance of


    winning if he wanted to trick him. Therefore, he did not intend to hide it from him. He just wanted to


    analyze the current situation and tell him his true thoughts. After all, they were both men, they


    should be open-minded and look at the bigger picture.


    What was more, Earl was still a mayor and he should know the pros and cons well, so Hansen


    honestly told him the whole situation, hoping that he would understand what Hansen meant.


    He really has no bad thoughts.


    However, Earl didn''t think so at all this time.


    After all, Aria was his only daughter. He could not ept that Hansen was being so sloppy. Thus,


    Hansen''s wordspletely irritated him.


    "Hansen, I have always respected you, and I didn''t have any objections when my daughter was in a


    rtionship with you. However, I didn''t expect you to do this. It has been very disappointing to me,"


    Earl said. His face was flushed and his neck was red too. The light shot out from behind his


    sses, obviously full of anger. "I don''t care what excuse you have for sleeping with my daughter,


    and how you want to abandon my daughter. Let me tell you the truth, I have only one daughter, and


    she can not be h u rt at a11."


    Saying this, Earl narrowed his eyes, and said sternly, "If you are a man, you should take


    responsibility. Since you have the ability to make my daughter pregnant, you should have the ability


    to bear the consequences. Don''t give me any excuses, even if you were drugged that time. It was


    you who slept with my daughter, and that is also your responsibility as the man of the Richards


    family. only know that my daughter has been humiliated, and the man who humiliated her still


    doesn''t want to admit it. Let me tell you, there is no such good thing in this world."


    Saying this, he stood up arrogantly, already losing hisposure.


    Hansen''s heart suddenly felt cold, as if he had fallen into an abyss. He could no longer see any


    hope.


    It seemed to be impossible to solve the problem by reasoning with the family.


    Now they had already decided to me it all on him, even though he was schemed against at the


    time.


    D*mn Norton!


    Hansen clenched his fists, with fierceness gleaming lightly in his eyes.


    In front of him was Earl''s livid face that was full of anger.


    Hansen had been forced into a dead-end.


    He took a cigarette, lit it, smoked it, and took a few deep breaths.


    Earl looked at this silent young man with surprise in his heart.


    Some time ago, he was still discussing the marriage with their family. How long had it been since he


    became so reluctant to marry his daughter? Was it possible that young people''s rtionships


    nowadays were fragile and unstable? Was it only because of his ex-wife?


    Hansen must know that his daughter was pregnant with Hansen''s child. It wasn''t difficult for him to


    solve it. It would not cost him a lot either. All he had to do was marry Aria and it would all be okay.


    But why did he look so pressured now? As if it was difficult. Was marrying his daughter a shame to


    him?
