Chapter 393
Janice was delighted to hear that. She hugged Samantha's arm, saying, "Mom, you treat me sowell. Did you go to find Auntie Stark?"
Upon hearing her words, Samantha smiled gently. "How could I not know what my daughter isthinking? Furthermore, I also feel that this man is pretty good. It's just... he seems unwilling to go ona blind date. Could it be..."
"Mom, it's not that. I've already asked around. Maddox doesn't have a girlfriend. Otherwise, AuntieStark wouldn't have allowed him to go on a blind date."
"That's right. We have to believe in Abigail."
Janice went downstairs after washing up. When she caught sight of Abigail, she greeted her with asmile, "Hello Auntie Stark, you seem to be free today."
Abigail's eyes fell on Janice.
She was wearing a light pink knitted top and a pink tutu skirt. Her hair was free, the long, loose curlscascading down her shoulders. She deliberately put on light makeup, highlighting her delicatecheeks.
As an elder, Abigail fancied this girl.
The Lowell family was considerably wealthy. Her father started a company, while her mother workedas a doctor in the hospital.
Even so, Janice wasn't spoilt.
A girl like Janice was hard to come by. Abigail felt the need to introduce her to Maddox.
"Don't you know the reason I came here?" As Abigail spoke, the corner of her mouth quirked up.
Samantha couldn't resist laughing as soon as she heard this. Janice flushed with embarrassment.She remained motionless for some time before she came to Abigail. She then sat down beside herand took Abigail's hand, chewing on her bottom lip. "Auntie Stark, you're making fun of me."
Seeing her shy look, Abigail reached out to touch her nose involuntarily. "I am not making fun ofyou. Instead, I can read your mind. Let's have a meal together. I will find a chance to invite Maddoxover."
Janice nodded bashfully. "Thank you, Auntie Stark. You're so kind to me. But will Maddox comeover?"
"Maddox listens to me a little bit, but he looks a little cold and apathetic. You might have to take a lotof effort to get closer to him. So, the first thing is, I want to ask you one question. Do you haveconfidence?"
Confidence? Janice was stunned for a moment. After a while, she smiled. "Are you asking mewhether I have the confidence to melt his heart?"
Abigail nodded her head.
"Don't worry, Auntie Stark. I don't dislike his behavior. On the contrary... I like his kind of charactervery much. He is reserved, meaning that he will be taciturn to other women as well. As long asthere's no one by his side now, I will have the chance, and... I look forward to the day I melt hisheart."
After she finished her words, Janice lowered her head shyly, trying her best to hold her feelings in.
Abigail shot her a meaningful look, then looked up and exchanged looks with Janice's mother.
"Good girl, I know that I won’t back the wrong woman. Let's go."
At Decsonald Restaurant.
"I asked him to come over for a meal. Let's order first. Maddox has always been punctual. He willcome."
Upon hearing this, Janice picked up her cell phone and glanced at the time. They were five minutesahead of time. Hence, she picked up the menu and glanced through it. Subsequently, she orderedsome snacks with Abigail.
When it's about time, Maddox showed up in the restaurant as expected.
When he entered, his dark eyes darted over the crowd for Abigail. When he saw that there wasanother person sitting beside her, Maddox frowned unpleasantly.
"Abigail is really annoying," Maddox thought.
She called him, saying that she would return to San Novia shortly and invited him over for a farewelldinner.
Never did Maddox expect that she would arrange another blind date for him.
Huh.
It was no big deal. He would treat it as a farewell dinner.
"Maddox!"
While he was in deep thoughts, Abigail called out his name.
Maddox was tall and sturdy. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he attracted everyone'sattention. All of them stared at him when he walked toward Abigail.
When Janice saw that such a handsome man approached, her heart skipped a beat. She held herhands tightly under the table.
This man... would be hers.
Even if it wasn't right now, in the future... that day would come!
"Come, have a seat." Abigail smiled and pulled Maddox over. Next, she stood up and said, "You twoyoung people have a chat. I'll go shopping nearby first."
When Maddox heard this, his cold eyes fell on her. "Farewell dinner?"
Abigail looked a little embarrassed. Janice, who was listening to the conversation aside, realizedthat Maddox was deceived by her to come. However, she did not appear to be embarrassed as shewas very determined.
"You guys have a meal. You must sit for half an hour before leaving. I'll make a move first."
After that, Abigail left in a flash.
Minerva had no appetite during noon. As such, she only took a few bites before resting. When shewoke up from her nap, she realized that it was almost two o'clock. She got up feeling a littleflustered and gave Janice a call.
When Janice received the call, she was flurried.
"Shelly?"
"Hello, Miss Lowell. It's almost time for our meeting, but I haven't received your address yet. Couldyou please tell me..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Shelly. I was having lunch with a friend at Decsonald Restaurant, so I forgot to sendyou a message."
"Decsonald Restaurant?" Minerva stood up and walked to the window. She looked at the DecsonaldRestaurant on the other side of the street, and smiled slightly, "Miss Lowell, are you in therestaurant opposite our company?"
Janice was dumbfounded for a moment, nodding. "It seems so... yes."
"Please wait for a moment. I'll come over to meet you."
Janice looked at the handsome man sitting opposite her. Just as she was about to reject her,Minerva had already ended the phone call.
As she was listening to the beeping sound from the phone, Janice blinked her eyes.
She wanted to suggest meeting another time as it was inconvenient for Minerva to come over at themoment, but never did she expect that Minerva would actually...
"What's up, Miss Lowell?"
Just as she was in a daze, Maddox asked her nonchalantly.
Janice came to her senses and placed the phone back in her bag immediately.
"Nothing, it's okay."
If she said that she was occupied with something or continued looking at her phone, Maddox wouldprobably leave right away.
Maddox frowned slightly. This woman... was really pestering him.
A man like him was already treating her coldly, yet she was still sitting here.
Maddox stood up. Janice queried in a panic, "Mr. Yardley, where are you going?"
Maddox didn't bother to stop. "The toilet."novelbin
Didn't Abigail tell him to stay put there for half an hour? He accommodated her request.
However, he was not restricted to remain seated at their table for the next half an hour.
As she saw Maddox heading to the bathroom instead of leaving, Janice finally breathed a sigh ofrelief.
