Chapter 1328
"What? You don't welcome me?"Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Maurice turned to Aleigha, who lowered her head and focused on the menu, and warmth spread in his heart.
'She put on weight, much fatter than last time I saw her.'
"Why not join us? If you don't mind."
Jaidyn had excellent manners, which couldn't be the works of Aubrianna.
A hint of coldness flashed past Maurice's eyes. He pulled a chair with one hand to sit down and dragged the sexy woman over.
That woman sat on his lap casually.
The waiter came and stood aside to wait for the orders respectfully.
"Maurice, I want to try rose lobster. It is said that the lobster here is fresh."
The sexy woman put her arms around Maurice's neck to flirt masterly.
"Did you hear her? Two rose lobsters."
Maurice seemed happy, as a smile kept hanging on his face.
"A salad, please. It is too hot to eat anything greasy."
Aleigha put the menu on the table and glanced at Maurice.
"Invite your chef over, please."
Adrian opened his mouth. The chef of this restaurant was his friend.
In fact, Aleigha admired Adrian in one thing, that was, he always knew one or two star chefs in those world-famous restaurants.
Therefore, Adrian was an expert in eating. And Aleigha never met another man who enjoyed food more than Adrian.
The chef was an old man. The sight of Adrian startled him at first, and then he got excited.
Adrian stood up, walked up, and talked to the old man in Japanese.
Jaidyn was composed, and Maurice was waiting patiently too.
"Maurice, ask them to hurry up. I'm hungry."
The sexy woman complained, flirting coquettishly, and the scene made onlookers feel sick.
Maurice felt horny under the flirtation and shot a squint at the woman. Then, the woman froze as she was cursed.
Adrian ended his talk with the old man and then joined his friends.
After a while, the waiter pushed a delicate dining car over.
He introduced each dish in detail, which was not new for Aleigha and Jaidyn.
Maurice saw the world and got used to this trick. His date was taken by surprise, and her eyes and mouth were wide open, seeming incapable to shut up again. Adrian gracefully picked up her chopsticks after the waiter left.
Well, Adrian loved chopsticks.
He was not get used to for knives and forks.
"An island man knows how to cook?" Maurice sneered, picking up a piece of fresh fish.
"Mr. Aaron has lived here for more than decades of years. He cooks traditional Chinese dishes only. He is a world-famous chef."
Adrian did not explain too much, as he believed the dishes would prove Mr. Aaron's reputation.
A mouthful of fishes helped Mr. Aaron win over Maurice, as he was full of praise for this dish now.
Those rose lobsters were not so good, as Mr. Aaron was not responsible for them.
Everything went on well during the lunch, and Maurice didn't try to embarrass Jaidyn.
After the main course, the waiter brought over desserts. Considering the blood glucose, Adrian ordered a dessert that was not sweet for Aleigha.
"I'll celebrate my birthday the day after tomorrow. Do you have time to come?"
Maurice shot a glance at Jaidyn after saying that.
Well, it seemed interesting.
"Boring. I don't really want to go."
Aleigha glanced at Adrian cannily and rejected Maurice without hesitation.
"You are not going to his birthday party? Haha."
Maurice's date ate the dessert and mocked Aleigha for being gullible.
"Well, I will go."
Jaidyn didn't want to mess up his
hip with Maurice, regardless
of the intention behind this
invitation.
"Adrian, you won't refuse me, right? Jaidyn accepted my invitation."
"Okay, got you."
Adrian didn't talk much the whole process.
Aleigha didn't ask until she was on the way to home.
"Why didn't you refuse Maurice?" "He already asked, and I didn't want to make him lose face."
"I have to confront him and Aubrianna sooner or later. How will the birthday party end will depend on Jaidyn. Aleigha was confused.
"Jaidyn is good though his mother made a mistake. Maurice can't be unreasonable though he is arrogant." "After all these years, he should seek revenge on Aubrianna or already move on."
Aleigha felt worried but did not ask any more questions.
Adrian drove his car into the gate of the Xiao's, and Phoenix led several men out.
At the same time, several persons in police uniforms followed behind.
Getting out of the car, Adrian glanced at Phoenix.
"Mr. Adrian, do you know this woman?"
One policeman took out a photo. Adrian walked a few steps ahead, took the photo, and looked at it.
"Who is this?"
"You don't know?"
Adrian shook her head and handed the photo to Aleigha.
In the photo, a woman, with unkempt hair and in a white dress was standing on the cliff barefoot. There was a dirty rag doll in her hand.
"We've never seen her."
Aleigha studied the photo for a while before giving her answer.
"This woman came back to City A
from the US last month.
Unfortunately, something bad, happened to her the next day of her
arrival."
"We learn from the investigation that she came to City A for Mr. Xiao."
This woman came for Adrian?
Aleigha frowned slightly and scrutinized the photo again.
"We know nothing about this. If necessary, I can go to the police station to assist in the investigation."
The policemen felt satisfied with Adrian's cooperation and made an appointment with Adrian.
Aleigha turned cold after the policemen left. She clenched the photo in her hand and looked at Adrian.
"Well, tell me what happened in Chicago."
Aleigha was so smart that nothing could escape her observation.
Adrian narrowed her eyes and pulled Aleigha in her arms, "Honey, you're asking me to confess, aren't you?"
"Do you want to do it after a whip?"
Adrian flirted with Aleigha, which astonished and embarrassed Phoenix and his men on the spot.
"Aleigha, why not? Whip me."
