Chapter 74 Reminder From the Point to End
Iverson could tell Amanda’s concerns at a glance, so he said flatly, “Don’t think too much about it. It’s just a meal. There were not many people in my family, it will be more lively if you come.”
Only then did Amanda feel relieved.
“Well, by the way, what does your grandma like?”
“You don’t need to prepare anything. She doesn’t lack anything.”
Amanda was slightly stunned. Looking at Iverson cutting steak slowly, she knew that he was not being polite.
Mrs. Old Byran, the hostess of the Byran Family, of course, didn’t lack anything, but it would be too impolite for her to go there empty-handed.
After dinner, Amanda took Iverson’s car home.
“I’ll send you up.”
“It’s okay, I can take it.”
Amanda bought a bunch of things and put them in the trunk of Iverson’s car.
“There are too many things. You can’t carry them.”
However, Iverson did not give her any chance to protest. He took the bags and headed straight for the apartment building.
Amanda froze on the spot for a few seconds and then hurried to catch up.
At this time, the driver was about to get out of the car but was stopped by Jamie.
“Mr. White, what are you going to do?”
“I’m going to help.”
“What can you help? Did boss say it?”
“No, there are so many things. How can you let Mr. Byran carry them…”
“Mr. White, you’ve lived for so long, but you still don’t understand such situations. Is Mr. Bryan’s point to help Miss Jewell carry things? It is to send her home. Have you forgotten what happened last time?”
Mr. White was stunned and came to his senses.
Jamie said meaningfully, “Mr. Byran is worried about Miss Jewell’s safety. What’s more, the two are in love, the man sends the woman home, why are we even there?”
Hearing that, Mr. White finally understood.
Amanda followed Iverson out of the elevator and hurried to open the door in front of him.
Iverson only placed the items on the porch and didn’t step into the house.
“Go to bed early and lock the door.”
“Hey,” Amanda stopped him and asked, “when are we going to your home tomorrow?”
“I’ll pick you up in the evening.”
Amanda wanted to ask something more, but after hesitating for a long time, she didn’t get it out.
Seeing her hesitation, Iverson said, “Do as you please. There are no rules in my family, and no one will make things difficult for you.”
“Who is worried about this? Do I look like someone who will be put in a difficult position?”
Amanda pursed her lips and thought for a moment. “There’s something I think it’s better to tell you in advance.”
“What?”
“Your stepmother came to me before.”
Iverson narrowed his eyes and frowned. “When did this happen?”
“We didn’t have a good meeting for the first time.” Amanda didn’t say too much and even smiled. She pulled the door and said, “Go back and rest early.”
She wasn’t going to complain, she just wanted to give Iverson a reminder.
Iverson stood at the door for a while, his eyes growing colder and darker as he strode into the elevator.
The commercial car drove on the streets of Ducco. The street lights outside the window occasionally flashed by, lighting up the dark car.
“Mr. Byran, do you want to deal with the lawyer who pestered Miss Jewell?”
“Not for the time being.” Iverson glanced out of the window indifferently.
Amanda wasn’t interested in that lawyer. He wasn’t worried about that at all.
However, he had other concerns.
“Howard is about to return, right?”
Jamie nodded. “It’s about time. Logically speaking, the Second Young Master should have returned home after the graduation ceremony three months ago. After going out to play for so long, he is just childish, and playful.”
“But some people were too tempting to resist.”
“You mean…”
Glancing out of the window, Iverson said coldly, “Time to speed up the process.”
Jamie was slightly taken aback.
It was late at night.
The private restaurant, on the outskirts of Ducco. It was time to close.
A woman was sitting in a booth by the window. She was wearing a wine-red dress. The exquisite restaurant atmosphere made her look very intellectual and elegant. The woman’s eyes were gentle and full of expectations.
Miss, sorry, we are closing soon. Hasn’t your friend come yet?
The woman wasn’t angry. “He might have been delayed by something. Serve the dishes first, I’ll wait a while longer.”
The waiter nodded politely and said, “Okay.”
“Sorry, the number you dialed can’t be answered for the time being. Please call later.”
The woman frowned. After waiting for a while, a message popped up on her phone.
“I have something to do right, so I forgot to tell you. I can’t keep my appointment tonight. Are you still in the restaurant?”
The woman’s eyes dimmed the moment she saw the message.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
A moment later, she replied, “It’s okay. Let’s make another appointment next time.”
After sending the message, she went straight to the front desk to pay the bill and left the restaurant. She was very disappointed.
“Where did that guest go? The dishes haven’t been served yet.”
“It’s obvious that the person she’s waiting for hasn’t come yet. She has waited for three hours.”
…
Amanda was woken up in the middle of the night by a phone call.
“Hello?”
She pressed the answer button in a daze with a hoarse voice.
A familiar female voice came from the other end of the line. “Amanda, are you home?”
“Joleen!”
Amanda yawned. “Why are you calling me so late? What’s wrong?”
“I’m at your door.”
“Huh?”
Amanda suddenly woke up, and her heart thumped. She immediately turned over and got out of bed.
She opened the door and brought Joleen in.
“What’s going on? Didn’t you work overtime? Why did you come to me so late?”
“Amanda, I have something to tell you.”
“What is it? Tell me.”
Seeing Joleen’s face turn blue with cold, J Amanda said, “Wait a minute. I’m going to get you a cup of hot tea. Are you staying outside? How long have you stayed?”
Seeing that Amanda was busy, Joleen’s hands clenched tighter and tighter.
“Did you go home alone after I leave?”
“No, I was just about to tell you that I had dinner with Iverson tonight.”
At the mention of this, Amanda blushed. “I accepted him.”
“Accept to what? Get married?”
“Of course not. I told him that I would date him. I don’t want to get married yet. Let’s talk about it later.”
Amanda handed her a glass of water and asked, “By the way, what do you want to tell me?”
Joleen came back to her senses and asked, “Patrick, wasn’t you looking for you?”
“How did you know?” Amanda was taken aback.
“I guessed,” Joleen forced a smile. She couldn’t hide the disappointment on her face, “He must have asked you something after causing such a commotion. Did he ask you out?”
“I told you that I have an appointment with you and I don’t have time.” Amanda looked Joleen up and down. “But I meet him at the entrance of the mall by chance today.”
“By chance?”
“Joleen, what’s wrong with you?”
Amanda felt uneasy and pulled Joleen’s hand, which was cold. “Why is your hand so cold?”
In front of Amanda, Joleen suddenly slumped to the ground.
“Joleen!”
