Mrs. Maton’s eyes were moist as she hugged her youngest son. “Baby, you’re finally back.”Mr. and Mrs. Maton initially planned to go to the United States to visit Jason, but he said that he was too busy with his research and would be back soon, so they did not go. It had been almost a year since they last saw him, so they naturally felt excited. Jason went to wash up and rest to catch up on jet lag after greeting his parents. After putting Jason’s suitcase down, Julian said to Mrs. Maton, “I’m going back to the company.” He was a busy man, but he still went to pick his younger brother up; this showed that he obviously valued his younger brother.Mrs. Maton instructed, “Come home for dinner tonight. Our family hasn’t had such a happy reunion in a long time.”“Alright.” Julian left after he said this. Mrs. Maton stood still in place and sighed as she thought, ‘It would have been an even happier reunion if the two of them had started their own families and brought their wives back
Her hand only slipped out of fright, causing her to get into an accident. Of course, Nora would not tell this to Julian. Julian was furious, and he reprimanded her for a long time. Right then, an employee of Maton Group who had just exited the underground parking lot passed by the scene of the incident and stopped to ask with concern, “Mr. Maton, what’s going on?”Julian snorted coldly and said, “This employee hit the curb with her car, so shouldn’t she be reprimanded?” Nora was so embarrassed that she felt like drilling a hole in the ground that she could hide in. ‘How could there be someone like him in this world whose hobby is making people die of embarrassment?’The person who was passing by looked at Nora, who was blushing in embarrassment, and drove away. He expressed deep sympathy for her. Nobody who was lectured by their boss would feel good or have an easy time. After the man drove away, Nora looked up at him angrily and asked, “Are you done reprimanding me? I have to le
Julian followed her and explained, “Yvonne is not my woman.”Hearing that, Nora stopped in her tracks and looked at him in surprise. “What do you mean?”What did he mean when he said that Yvonne was not his woman? She saw him taking the initiative to hug Yvonne the other day, and the two of them looked so intimate. Julian smiled. “Anyway, there’s nothing between me and her, so don’t overthink.”Nora was even angrier because he was being so secretive. Why would he hug Yvonne again and again when there was nothing between them? She felt that he was really messy when it came to the relationship between a man and a woman. So, she retorted, “I’m not overthinking. I saw it with my own eyes.”She then left angrily with the prescription list. Julian could only follow her helplessly. He was indeed the one at fault. He had originally planned to use the incident with Yvonne to piss her off, but the situation had changed drastically after that night. Therefore, it would be inappropriat
Putting Julian’s gloomy expression aside, the family of four had a very pleasant and enjoyable dinner. After eating, Julian received a call from Benjamin, who wanted to give a report of the car owner’s information to Julian. Julian did not know whether to be amused or angry after listening to Benjamin’s report. “A cab driver from an e-hailing app?”Julian knew about those apps, but he did not expect that Nora had actually called for a cab using the app. When he saw her getting into an unfamiliar man’s car, he was so furious that he had lost the ability to think, and he even tried to forcefully push the other party’s car out of the way. ‘This girl is really full of tricks.’Things were also pleasant at Ophelia’s place that night. As Ryan and Silvia would be going to Winsterdam soon, they would always come to Ophelia’s place for dinner whenever they had time. They would also take the initiative to invite Greg over every time, saying that they wanted to spend more time with the fa
Therefore, she was really tempted when Jason said that this matter would be settled once and for all.After frowning and thinking about it for a moment, she asked Jason, “What if they ask about our relationship or something?”Jason replied easily, “We can just have a meal together regularly or simply tell them that we are dating every day. If we meet them, we can pretend to be a little affectionate in front of them, and that’s it.”He then added, “You don’t have to worry. I’ll try my best to turn down all opportunities for us to meet them together. We will only put on an act in front of them if we really can’t turn them down.”Nora frowned as she thought about Jason’s words, then she finally agreed. “Okay, we’ll do as you said, then. I really don’t want to go on any more blind dates.”The two reached an agreement. Jason was using Nora to block all kinds of blind dates so that he could focus on his own research, and Nora was using Jason to block all kinds of blind dates that Opheli
“How… How did she find another man so soon? Hasn’t she always fancied you?”Yvonne had always been attracted to Julian, and this was something that many people knew. How could she have fallen for someone else so soon? Mrs. Maton was upset because she felt that it was a shame.Julian teased Mrs. Maton, “Women are fickle. You should know this very well.”Mrs. Maton snorted and asked curiously, “Who is Yvonne dating?”Julian responded to her, “It’s someone you know.”Annoyed, Mrs. Maton replied, “I know many people, so how would I know who it is?!”“Anyway, you just have to know that it’s not me. I still have things to do, so I’ll hang up first.”Julian really had no intention of talking too much to Mrs. Maton. His mind was focused on a certain girl. He tried calling her earlier but could not get through to her. Her cell phone was not turned off, but he was worried because she was not answering his calls. He tried calling her again after ending the call with Mrs. Maton, but there
To achieve a realistic state of watching a movie, the two of them put their cell phones on silent mode. Nora was so caught up in watching the television series that she forgot to look at her cell phone, which was why Julian could not reach her even after calling her again and again. Nora nestled comfortably on the couch to watch the television series she had been obsessed with lately while drinking juice and eating snacks. Since the weekend came around, she decided to binge-watch the entire television series so she would not have to be thinking about it all the time during working hours. For her, single life was really comfortable. She did not have to live for anyone and did not have to be sad because of anyone. It was great. Just as she was immersed in such comfort, there was a sudden knock on her door, which startled her.She felt very guilty because they were lying to parents from both sides that they were out on a date. She was also startled by the knock on the door and quic
Before Nora, he hadn’t dated any women for at least half a year. His love life was completely blank during that period. He was only together with the model for a few days after Nora, and he was just making use of her, so it was not much of a relationship, not to mention Yvonne.However, before Julian could complain and defend himself, Mrs. Maton said again, “Okay, I won’t continue talking to you anymore. Anyway, you can find out whether the girl is trustworthy and suitable for Jason when you come back and have dinner tomorrow night.”Mrs. Maton hung up the phone after she was done speaking. After some hesitation, Julian informed Nathan to change their itinerary. He wanted to go back to see the girl who could make Jason, who only ever had his research in mind, fall in love and bring her home for dinner. Nora was depressed about going to Jason’s house for dinner. She had never expected that Mrs. Maton would invite her to go to their house for dinner. She had only known Jason for a fe
