Norman was slightly frustrated seeing his daughter silent. He walked to Linda and sat down next to her
before pulling her into his arms. He consoled her and said, “You’re the apple of my eye. How could I
bear to shout at you? I couldn’t control myself, and my voice was a little louder than it should have
been. I was also afraid that you would say something else and others would overhear us. Don’t you
believe your dad?”
Norman looked at his daughter gently. There were still traces of stubble on his face. He had become
slightly haggard lately. When Linda turned to look at her father, surprise flickered across her face.
In the past, her dad had always dressed neatly. Even if he had a slightly plump figure, in any case, he
had a dignified appearance. But now… Why does he have eye bags?
He’s still working. Why is there stubble on his face?

wrinkled brows. “Dad, is there something wrong at work?”
Linda wasn’t fussing about it anymore. Company affairs were more important.
Norman suddenly laughed. “What could go wrong at work? Don’t let your imagination run wild.
Everything is great.”
“Then why are you in such a bad state? You have eyebags, and you didn’t shave your stubble cleanly.
Why do I feel like you’ve… lost weight?”
Rose sighed in frustration silently. He had lost two billion. This alone was unacceptable.
She had also lost weight recently, but she and Linda were inseparable, so her daughter hadn’t noticed
it.
“Haha, have I lost weight? That’s great. I charmed many girls back in the day with my figure. After I put
on weight, I felt tired even by walking. I’ve deliberately eaten less food and drank less alcohol recently.
It looks like I’m seeing the results now.”
“Dad, don’t change the topic!” Linda’s voice was slightly apprehensive. “Something must be going on at
the company! What is it? Tell me! I don’t want to feel scared and on edge. We can think of a solution
together.”
After that, she turned and looked at Rose. “I’ve realized that you haven’t been in the right state for the
past two days. You’re always distracted. What on earth are you hiding from me?”
Rose furrowed her brows at once. “What would I hide from you?”
Norman laughed out loud, and he touched Linda’s forehead. “You’ve let your imagination run wild. If
you really want to find out, come back to work. I think it’ll be okay with your current condition. If you
really think that something has happened at work, you can come and take a look for yourself.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLinda’s brows wrinkled tightly, and she looked at Norman slightly doubtfully.
He won’t let her go to work if something is wrong at the company. But why does she feel like something
isn’t right if nothing is wrong?
But she nodded. “Alright. I’ll go to work tomorrow.”
If they weren’t going to tell her, she wouldn’t get any answers if she kept asking. She had better
chances of finding explanations at work. She might even be able to find some clues.
Norman saw that Linda had stopped questioning them, and he got up with a smile. He looked at Rose
and asked, “Did you cook? Let’s eat.”
Linda wrinkled her brows again. Why does her mother have to cook?
Rose nodded. “Yes. I’ll serve it now.”
After that, she went into the kitchen. Linda was left sitting on the couch alone, and her expression was
slightly grim.
Something isn’t right!
