NovelEnglishChapter 540
Chapter 540 Britney’s gaze was a little cool and seemed to be complaining a bit. Conrad faintly swept her a glance, treating her gaze as just blaming him for spouting nonsense. He had indeed said so on purpose. Who cares about how she was with Peter. He only wanted to quickly find Jason a partner so that he would stop pining for his wife. “Fia.” Britney looked at Fia somewhat fearfully. “Who is he?” Fia gently lifted the corner of her lips. “My husband.” “Oh, oh. Fia’s husband.” Britney seemed to casually ask, “Sally, do you and Jason know Fia’s husband?” “What are you saying?” Peter replied indifferently. “Who in Gryphon dares to not know Mr Maxwell?” Britney secretly bit her lip, like a little lady secretly in love, carefully looking at Peter. Her eyes also seemed to contain a little delight. “Peter, turns out you, also know Fia’s husband. Then in the future, we will all be friends.” “Just who is your friend?” Conrad said mercilessly.
Fia knew his temper and only smiled apologetically at everyone. She pinched Conrad’s waist and apologized. “Please don’t take it to heart. He’s just socially awkward.” Conrad looked at Fia speechlessly. He was not socially awkward. He just didn’t want to waste his words on this group of people. “Con, don’t just focus on talking. Aren’t you thirsty?” Sally acted as the host, asking each and everyone what they wanted to drink, and got the waiter to cover to put in the order for drinks first. After ordering the drinks, she asked everyone what dishes they wanted to order. Conrad said faintly, “Fia wants to have the sour and s*icy offal and the fried ribs.”
“Alright. Mr. Maxwell, what about you?” “I can do it.” Sally smiled at the waiter and nodded, and listed their favorite dishes. Britney felt like she was being pampered. “Sally, how did you know that I wanted to eat garlic lobster?!” Sally smiled at her. “When you were young, you always asked my mom to make it for you.” “Sally, you are so nice to me.” She looked at Peter and Jason, asking curiously, “Sally, Peter doesn’t like frog meat.” Sally purposely acted calm and replied. “Jason likes it.” She ordered it for Jason. Jason immediately looked at Fia and then quickly looked away. Conrad pretended not to see it and when the juice came, he poured it for Fia. “Fia, the fresh orange juice you like.” “Yep!” Fia drank two mouthfuls very happily. She casually passed it to Conrad and said, “Try it too.” Conrad never liked these juices, but seeing her look of anticipation, he drank from her cup. “Is it nice?” Looking at her, he answered extremely seriously, “Yes, very nice.” This meal was quite successful. Peter and his sister would occasionally talk about things overseas and Britney would add on a little. The other three people concentrated on eating. After the meal, Britney wanted to go to the restroom and subconsciously asked, “Sally, Fia, do you all want to go to the restroom?” Sally shook her head. Fia drank too much juice and indeed wanted to go to the restroom, so she nodded in agreement. Conrad immediately got up, but she slapped away the hand he extended to her.
“Britney will bring me. Just stay here.” “Yes, Mr. Maxwell, please feel at ease. I will take care of Fia well.” As their gazes met, Conrad looked at Britney properly for the first tthroughout the meal. She appeared to be obedient and quite friendly too. However, it made him recall the feeling he had when he saw the photo.
