Female Novel
Chapter 814
"Hello, Miss. A table for one?"
Minerva stood in a daze in front of the restaurant for a long time. She looked indecisive as one foot of hers had entered the restaurant, while the other stayed outside. The waiter inside finally couldn't help but come out and ask.
Minerva raised her head and saw a very young man, Nelson standing in front of her. His clear eyes showed that he was from Hidalgo, but he spoke French to her.
She nodded subconsciously, "Yes, one person please."
Nelson's face lit up. "Hey, are you from Hidalgo? I saw you standing here for a long time. Do you have any questions?"
Minerva smiled and replied, "No, I don't. I was on the phone just now."
After that, she whispered to Geoffrey, "I have something else to do. I'll be hanging up first."
Then she hung up the phone immediately.
"Minerva, don't hang up. Let me talk to you for a while... Minerva?" When George was still shouting at the phone, he had already heard the busy tone.
D*m.n it. Why did he feel like he had done something bad again? When the Collins family was about to have dinner with the Dormer family, he immediately called Minerva to find out more. Who knew that Minerva did not answer his call and did not even reply to his Facebook messages.
This didn't seem to be her style. In the end, George had almost blased up her cell phone with his massive calls, but still she didn't answer.
Thus George finally panicked. He felt that Minerva must have known about this matter and was angry. Probably this was the reason she didn't want to answer his calls.
Therefore, when Minerva called him, he spoke in such an indiscernible way.
"You are so stupid, Geoffrey-"
Geoffrey had hit himself in the head without stopping. He was really stupid, he should have questioned her first. There remained a possibility that Minerva didn't know about it.
But what about now?
Therefore, in the future, Minerva... would be his sister-in-law?
No way, he had to call Maddox and tell him about it. Otherwise, he would not be able to save everything.
George quickly called Maddox. However, just like
Minerva, he did not pick up the call at all.
Geoffrey didn’t know where they had gone for dinner, and his phone couldn’t get through. He turned around in a hurry, grabbed his car key and ran out.After Minerva was welcomed in by Nelson, he got her a table by the window and handed her the menu.
"It has been a long time since a Hidalgo citizen last patronized our restaurant. You are the first one I have met in the past half month. Since we are compatriots, today is my treat. Help yourself till you're satisfied."
Minerva took the menu a little absent-mindedly, but since the owner was so enthusiastic, she couldn’t bear to ignore him. She could only smile and say, "Thank you for your kind intentions. But we're just strangers by chance, how could I possibly eat without paying?"
"It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. We're fated to meet each other."
"Of it's fine, thank you."
Minerva looked at the menu and ordered a few dishes. In fact, she liked the Hidalgo cuisine very much and was not picky about them.
"That's all? You're too modest."
She returned a smile and said, "I'll pay the bill myself. Thank you."
Nelson left with the menu.
Minerva was sitting alone and got lost in her thoughts.
Today, Maddox had gone to discuss the engagement with the Dormer family.
"What has he been doing these days? Is it because he goes to my house every day, which has given me the wrong impression?"
Or, the wrong impression was generated because of the kiss in the office.
Even so, that even though Maddox did not remember her, he still knew her subconsciously. That was why he acted that way. She even felt that she was very close to victory.
But when she had heard the news today, she suddenly felt that she hadn’t taken a single step forward.
Thinking of this, Minerva lowered her eyes and sat quietly in her seat.
This restaurant was very efficient. It was probably because of the owner's care for compatriots, Minerva's orders were soon served.
After serving the dishes for her, Nelson sat down opposite her and looked at her with his mobile phone. "Did you come abroad alone?"
When he carefully looked into Minerva's eyes, they were too beautiful... he seemed to have fallen in love with her at first sight.
"No." Minerva shook her head. She picked up her cutlery and answered indifferently, "I came with my husband."novelbin
In an instant second, the smile on Nelson’s face froze, and was looking a little embarrassed.
"Is there anything else?" Minerva looked up at him.
Nelson coughed softly and shook his head. "It's okay, take your time."
Minerva continued to pick the food to eat. Before entering the restaurant, she was very hungry. But at that moment, the food didn’t taste good at all when entering her mouth.
She forced herself to eat a little more and didn't not continue. Instead, she wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue and got up to pay the bill.
Nelson did not come out again. She left the restaurant after paying the bill.
At this moment, inside a luxurious hotel.
"What a rare occasion. Our families are able to sit and have a meal together." Jarold looked at Titan and Monica, who were sitting across him. He was a little surprised. "Oh right, why didn't Zaydon come with you guys?" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Titan stroked his beard and smiled, "He has things to do, that's why I didn't ask him to come with me."
Monica looked at Maddox, who was sitting next to Jarold. Her eyes were filled with shyness as she lowered her head to look at the dress she was wearing.
She had specially asked someone to buy her the dress, and it took a lot of effort to get the one and only dress.
It was said that the design was designed by a woman. Although Monica had never seen the designer, her friends liked the designer's design very much. It was just that the design was too difficult to get one's hands on, and rumors had it that she'd not been designing any recently. Therefore, many of the previous dresses that had been taken photos of were not worn. They were taken back and placed on dummies. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
She had paid a lot of money to get this one.
The makeup was also elaborately designed to match with the dress, hoping that she could leave a good impression on Maddox.
She even thought that when their marriage was decided, she would also want to wear an engagement dress by this designer. Furthermore, she was willing to pay a lot of money for the designer to design her wedding dress. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Without warning, she had thought too far away in the future. By the time Monica came back to her senses, her cheeks had already turned bright red.
Both the elders were well aware of the purpose of their visit today, so after drinking three rounds, they began to discuss the engagement.
The more Titan looked at the handsome Maddox, the more satisfied he became. He thought Maddox was indeed worthy of his granddaughter, who was the apple of his eye.
He put down the small wine glass in his hand and raised his head to look at Jarold.
"Jarold, do you still remember when we intentionally had our children marry each other? It's a pity..."
