Chapter 735 Dowry?
Were they… having a love affair stealthily? It was clearly a straightforward romance, so how did he become a clandestine boyfriend?
Before he could speak, the curtains were already drawn. Lincoln looked at the closed curtains in confusion. Soon, Zayla came out of the corridor.
Mr. Vargas, Ms. Vargas is right there, isn’t she?” Leroy said with a smile. “Dad, are you looking for me?” “Come upstairs with me, and I have something to tell you.” Zayla lightly responded.
Then, she sneakily glanced at Leroy and whispered, “What does Dad want to talk to me about? Do you know, Leroy?” Leroy shook his head, also looking confused. Zayla lowered her head and followed Theodore upstairs, wondering why her father wanted to see her.
Once they were in the study, Theodore wasted no time in handing her a thick folder. “This is your dowry. Do you want to add anything else?” he asked. “Dowry? Shouldn’t it be the bride price?” Theodore lightly patted her forehead.
He replied, “What are you thinking? Not to mention that Lincoln saved my life, even if he’s a free man now, he still has the identity of the chairman of the Nash Group. Do you think it’s appropriate for him to marry into our Vargas family?”
Zayla touched her chin lightly and spoke earnestly, even though she was just joking around, “I think it’s appropriate.” Theodore raised his hand as if he was about to hit her. Zayla quickly stepped back. Just then, the study door opened.
Seeing Scarlet return home. Zayla immediately ran up to her and hugged her. “Mom, Dad wants to hit me!”
Theodore’s hand was still raised, and when he saw Scarlet, he immediately forced a smile and waved his hand around. “Honey, you’re back.”
Zayla was confused by her father’s swift reaction and couldn’t help but wonder, “What is going on?” Scarlet asked, “What are you doing?”
“I want her to look over the dowry, check for any deficiencies, set a date for the parents of both sides to have a routine meeting, and get married as soon as possible.” Hearing this, Scarlet was also slightly stunned, obviously not aware of his plans. She looked through the thick list and asked, “Is this what you’ve been working on for several nights?”
Theodore nodded. “What do you think? With so much dowry, isn’t it impressive?” Scarlet briefly looked through the list and then looked up at Theodore, asking sincerely, “So, in your eyes, our daughter is only worth this much?”
Theodore was taken aback. Wasn’t this enough? The list was so thick that it even felt heavy in his hands! “Honey, I swear on my conscience! I’ve emptied out our family’s savings for this!”
“Is that so? Then how many warehouses storing your antiques have you opened?” Theodore was speechless. Perhaps he should just go and hold onto his antiques and cry for a night. For dinner, the family sit around the table.
Zayla’s major life event was already on the way to being resolved, leaving only Stephen’s. During dinner, the topic always revolved around Stephen. In search of a solution for his major life event, Scarlet had been exploring various options for Stephen. But with his qualifications, Stephen didn’t need it.

himself, but Scarlet képt bringing it back. Zayla couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
