CHAPTER 273: CHAPTER 279: AT THE AUTOGRAPH SESSION (2)

"I see." Aiden laughed heartily, "That’s great news, why didn’t you say it earlier?"

"Just thought there wasn’t much to talk about." Mia responded humbly with a smile.

"It’s good to be humble with achievements." Aiden praised without reservation.

Mia continued smiling, "I’m an adult now, you don’t need to worry about me. I have hobbies outside of school too; Allen is guiding me in learning photography."

"Which Allen?" Aiden paused.

"He’s Aunt Daniella’s son." Mia looked at him, "We met when we visited the Jackson Family last time. He’s quite young but has a high level of skill in this area. He’s been wanting to teach me photography, so I agreed. Oh, and he gave me a DSLR camera."

Mia spoke with a calm demeanor, confident and unperturbed.

Charlotte, however, grew anxious, asking, "Are you talking about the son Daniella brought back? Chasing after you to teach photography?"

"That’s pretty much it."

"Haha." Charlotte couldn’t help but laugh and rarely teased, "Tell mom, does he have feelings for you?"

"Not at all." Mia replied, "He’s just really into photography, and quite vain, so he wants a disciple."

"How could that be?! Finding a disciple, he could pick anyone, why you? He probably has feelings for you. Not to say he’s not bad, though not comparable to Koa Jackson, but still Old Master Jackson’s grandson..."

"What are you thinking?" Aiden looked at her displeased.

He still vividly remembers the time Mia was mistreated at the Jackson Family. No matter what, he doesn’t want Mia to get involved with them again.

He’s well aware of Old Master Jackson’s status.

He’s also clear about the position of the Jackson Family in Cloud Capital.

But even so—

What difference does it make?

His impression of his biological father is quite vague, having lived with the Jackson Family for a period when he was young.

Old Master Jackson is like half a father to him.

That’s why he’s always cared about the old master’s wishes, even respecting him like a father, never defying him.

But right now—

He also wants to be a good father.

He hopes his daughter won’t suffer anymore from now on.

Given the past issues with Koa Jackson, and the deep hurt the engagement brought her, he’d rather Mia find a considerate young man, attending to her warmth and needs, than chasing the dream of marrying into the Jackson Family.

With Koa Jackson’s family status, in the end, they were reaching too high.

Add to that Zane Jackson as a father-in-law, Lydia Williams as a mother-in-law, Marianne Jackson as a sister-in-law, could his daughter really have good days?

His wife here is...!

What does this even have to do with anything?

Now she’s set her sights on Allen!

Westerners have an open lifestyle, and Allen seemingly has a childlike personality, how could he accommodate Mia?

Aiden casually thought over it and his grudge against Charlotte deepened.

Charlotte never dared to contradict him.

At the dining table, after receiving two piercing glances, she quickly quieted down.

Only—

Still pondering over the possibility of Mia marrying Allen.

Each person harbors their own thoughts.

So no one said a word at the dining table.

——

A day passed.

Soon it was Sunday morning.

Mia set an alarm in advance, getting dressed and freshened up by seven.

She went downstairs.

Passing by Zuri’s room, she was suddenly called.

"What’s up?" Mia asked.
