"I'll take you somewhere else," Maxwell said sternly.Maggie looked at his cold side profile, and her heart raced in her chest. So Mr. Yates really did have an overbearing CEO side to him, after all! She loved it!Maxwell was wholly oblivious to her thoughts. He just kept following the MPV up ahead.The car drove for about ten minutes before it stopped outside a homey restaurant. Sonnet and that man got out of the car and entered the restaurant. Maxwell hurriedly stopped his car there too."So you want to eat here? This restaurant is pretty famous too!" Maggie said hastily to show him that she knew her stuff too.Maxwell got out of the car, and Maggie quickly followed behind him. As soon as the two of them went inside, a waiter greeted them. Maxwell swept his gaze across the hall and could not see Sonnet anywhere, so he guessed that they had gone into a private room.He really wanted to ask the waiter which room the two of them had gone into, but that would be too obvious. He
Lucas asked with a laugh, "If I recall, you're not that active on Weibo either. Why do you want me to make a post all of a sudden?""It's all because of you, isn't it?" Sonnet pouted. She told him about her argument with those college students over the autograph that morning. Lucas was so happy his face split into a grin. Sonnet was never one to bother about fandom wars, but here she was fighting with others and even making a bet over him! Didn't it mean that she cared about him?"Don't worry, you did it to defend me. I won't let you kneel and apologize to them after that," he said with a laugh. "It won't hurt your career in any way, will it?" Sonnet asked anxiously. She knew that celebrities had to be careful with everything they did and said, or it could easily lead to a scandal."It won't!"Forget posting a picture of his autograph, he would not hesitate to confess to her on Weibo if that was what she wanted. The problem is, she might not want that. His smile faltered at
Meanwhile, Maxwell, who was eating in the dining room, became more and more anxious.The woman opposite him was trying to talk to him but he did not hear what she said. Instead, he was looking at the time.‘Half an hour… One hour… Why is Sonnet staying so long with that man in the private room after eating?‘What are they talking about? Are there so many topics to go through?’Who was that man to Sonnet? Aside from himself, he had never seen Sonnet getting so close to another man!‘Did that man do something to Sonnet?’As his thoughts wandered, he was getting more and more restless. Then, he lied about going to the restroom and left.He walked to the private room and finally could not hold back. So, he grabbed a waiter and asked, “Excuse me, is my friend still in here?”“Who is your friend?”“Oh, he’s wearing sunglasses and a cap. He also has a very beautiful woman with him.”“Oh, them. They left.”Maxwell was shocked. “They left? Why didn’t I see them leave?”“They left by
In the afternoon, Maxwell drove to Erudite Academy.He got there in time, just when school was over. Sophia held Jaybie with her left hand and Lune in her right as they walked home.When Lune saw him, she skipped over to him happily and grabbed his harm. “Mr. Yates, why are you here?”“I don’t have a lot to do and I got off work early. When I drove home, I passed this place and saw you coincidentally.” Maxwell said with a smile, “Right, I have a friend who has a pet shop. He gave me some quality bird feed. Can I give it to your birds?”“Of course! Mr. Yates, you’re amazing! No wonder Lil Oriole likes you so much!” Lune accepted without hesitation.Maxwell continued, “There are two big bags and I’ll send them to your house later.”If he could go to their house, he could play with the parrots. And he could wait for Sonnet to come home.“Daddy!” Suddenly, Jaybie, who was walking behind Sophia, exclaimed excitedly.Maxwell turned around and saw Jaybie running toward him with his ar
Sophia smacked Lucas playfully with a smile. “You’re a godfather now, stop acting like a child.”Maxwell was pissed. ‘He’s their family and I’m an outsider. Why should I go to their house if this is the case? Wouldn’t I be asking for it?’“I bought two bags of bird feed for the parrot. Why don’t you take them, Mr. Mack?” Maxwell said to Lucas.Lucas replied with a grin, “Alright, thanks!”Maxwell replied reluctantly, “You’re welcome.”After taking the bird feed, the family went home happily. As Maxwell watched them leave, he was very irritated on the inside.If Maxwell was still alive, the two children would not care about their godfather.At that moment, he wanted to tell Sonnet who he really was.After they got home, Sophia got a call from Lindy. “What? Didn’t you say you’ll come back for dinner? Um, Lucas is back and he’s having dinner with us…”“Let me rearrange my time!” Lindy said immediately when she heard Lucas was back.After hanging up, she called Marcus. “Mr. Pine,
“Boy, do you want to start a fight?” Maxwell grabbed Marcus’ arm.Marcus looked dispirited like he had thrown caution to the wind. “Come on then! Even though I can’t defeat you, I’m not scared of getting beaten up.”Maxwell wanted to punch Marcus a few times but when he heard what Marcus said, he stopped being angry and burst into laughter.“Look how much of a wuss you are. You’re thinking about getting hit before I even start?”“It’s because you’re my opponent. If it’s other people, I won’t allow that,” Marcus widened his eyes.Marcus massaged his arm and sighed, “Why should we fight? This will only hurt the people who love us and please the people who hate us. Think about it, that celebrity is still with our women.”As Marcus said that, he was pissed. “No, we have to protect our women!”The two shook hands and the wife protection squad was formed.Maxwell and Marcus were pissed at their common enemy on this side, but on the other side, Sonnet’s house was very joyous.Lucas a
He had drank a lot tonight, so she was worried he would be thirsty after that.“Sonnet…” Lucas mumbled.Lindy’s hands that were putting on his blanket froze in mid-air.“When will you understand how I feel? We always miss each other, but this time I don’t want to miss out on you again…” Lucas muttered in his drunken sleep.Lindy felt her heart grow cold.She already had an answer to her dilemma.How could she forget that Sonnet was currently single?Back then, Lucas was self-conscious since he did not have the money, so he did not confess to Sonnet. Therefore, he missed out on Sonnet.Now, everything was different. Lucas had money and he did not have any worries anymore.He could pursue Sonnet brazenly. Now, Sonnet was still vulnerable from losing the man she loved, so she would need Lucas to shower her with love.Lindy suddenly realized she was the third party in this.If she promised Lucas to be his assistant, she would have to watch Lucas getting intimate with her best fr
Lucas was a little surprised. "You have a boyfriend?"Lindy nodded guiltily. Lucas was excited. "Congratulations! Come on, tell me! What's his name? How old is he? What does he do? Let me assess him for you!"When Lucas heard that she had a boyfriend, not only he was not disappointed but genuinely happy for her. Lindy felt bad for herself.‘He truly doesn’t have feelings for me…’Compared to his despair when he heard that Sonnet was married, his expression was completely different from today."Hurry up, tell me! Tell me!" Lucas turned into a gossip bestie with anticipation on his face.Lindy said quietly, "His name is Marcus Pine, twenty-eight years old, and he is a barrister—""The Queen’s Counsel that worked for the Brooks in Harbor City?" Lucas interrupted Lindy excitedly.Lindy nodded. "You knew him too?""Of course, I do. The Pine family is a famous family of lawyers. Not only they were the Queen’s Counsel of the Brooks in Harbor City, but they were also famous in North
