Chapter 94
Gary felt that Alissa was somewhat different from any other woman he had met. Although Alissa was
arrogant, she was not spoiled. Alissa was indifferent, but she was also elegant and generous. More importantly, Gary was always attracted by the charm she showed silently. Unfortunately, Alissa had a boyfriend. Gary lowered his head slightly, his eyes filled with disappointment. It was a pity. Before Gary’s love for Alissa had’even sprouted, it was ruthlessly cut off by Alissa’s words “I have a boyfriend.” Gary didn’t want to give up, but he had to accept the fact no matter what. When Edwin saw that the water had boiled, he carefully placed the vegetables into the pot. Edwin did it slowly. Eric was drinking tea while listening seriously to the conversation. Even though he was still a little boy, he was very calm and steady. Suddenly, Eric’s phone rang, and his phone was in Alissa’s bag. Alissa took out the phone and took a look. She suddenly said happily, “Well! It’s a call from Lucas.” Eric heard it. After explaining to Gary and Edwin politely, he took over the phone and left the private room to answer the call. “Lucas! I will go back to Kimshire with Alissa a little later.” Just as Frank reached the corner, he heard Eric’s happy voice. “Have you signed the contract today?” Lucas, who was on the other side of the line, asked in an emotionless tone. “Yes! The contract has been signed. I will finish it before school starts. Since I will go to school in Mayfield, I can work on weekends or after school. It is not easy for Alissa to support the family alone. I’m glad that I can share her burden.” “That’s good! Grandma is waiting for your news. I will tell her! Bye!” Lucas hung up the phone. Eric looked at the phone doubtfully. Why was Grandma concerned about his contract today? Without much thought, Eric went back to the private room. Then, Frank walked out of the corner. Frank looked sullen. He heard Eric say “I’m glad that I can share her burden.” Eric’s last sentence lingered in Frank’s ears like a spell. Frank suddenly panicked. Today, he had to get Eric’s hair. Doing a DNA paternity test was the fastest way. When he reached the door, Frank calmed down and pushed the door open. His tall figure was shockingly imposing. Frank walked slowly but steadily. Just his back could fascinate everyone. As soon as Frank came in, Judith and Alissa stopped talking. Alissa smiled without much enthusiasm, and she teased, “Mr. Taylor, you just come in
time. The dishes are just ready.” Frank glanced at the seat. There was a vacant seat beside Judith, and Eric was sitting next to Alissa. Frank sat down beside Judith with a satisfied expression and then he said indifferently, “Many thanks to Ms. Haywood and Eric for inviting me!” After Judith heard this, she suddenly remembered what Eric had just said. She wondered if Frank met Eric yesterday. However, Judith did not ask after reflection.
Alissa looked at Frank and said with a smile, “Thanks for your compliments. Mr. Taylor, you are our funder. We can’t afford to offend you! Come on, raise your tea as a substitute for wine. Let’s have a toast and wish us pleasant cooperation.” No one would dislike Alissa’s openness and directness. Frank raised his teacup at her, saying with a smile, “I’m looking forward to a pleasant cooperation!” Few people drink wine at noon as they had to go to work in the afternoon. Driving while intoxicated would bring on-the-spot fines. It would also do no good for one’s business, and that was the most vital thing. Therefore, with tea as a substitute for wine, everyone had no objections,All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
