NovelEnglishChapter 368
Lisa’s parents hastily replied, “Pleasure.. to meet you too.”
Her dad then invited Terry to take a seat while her mother pulled her aside and asked her, “Is that really
your boyfriend?! You didn’t hire an actor to pretend to be your boyfriend, did you?”
Lisa rolled her eyes, “Maybe I did do that, Mom.”
“Silly girl!” Mrs. Quest snapped angrily. “How could you say things like that?! Go on, go make us some
tea”
After that, Mrs. Quest changed into her warm and welcoming expression as she walked over to ‘Terry.
Having been reduced to a waitress, Lisa stomped into the kitchen to brew some tea. When she
reemerged in the living room with a tray of tea and cups in her hands, her parents and Terry seemed to
already be getting along swimmingly in a cheerful
conversation.
“So,” said Mrs. Quest, “you said you met Lisa abroad, didn’t you, Terry? Does that mean you two have
been in contact all these years?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“No,” Terry replied. “I happened to bump into her when I returned to this country not too long ago. We
only reconnected
then.”
“But to tell you the truth,” he added with a smile, “I’ve always been looking for Lisa ever since we lost
contact. Luckily, I’ve finally found her now!
Η
He glanced at Lisa as he spoke. The look he gave seemed to be an affectionate one to Mr. and Mrs.
Quest, but to Lisa herself, it was nothing but a dangerously threatening look.
“Sounds like you two were fated to meet each other!” Mr. Quest remarked. “But Lisa only went abroad
for a few days, didn’t she? How did you take a fancy to her so quickly?”
Mr. Quest was filled with curiosity because he distinctly remembered that his daughter was only very
briefly abroad, yet she had somehow caught a man’s eye so much so that the man could not forget her
for three years. It was especially surprising considering the fact that this young man was clearly very
attractive. He was certainly not the type to have any difficulty finding a girlfriend, yet he spent three
years looking for his daughter. That alone filled Mr. Quest’s heart with affection for
this young man,
“Lisa is an honest and straightforward woman,” Terry explained. “I feel very much at case when I’m with
her. In fact, I once got drunk and…”
Just as he spoke, Lisa’s hand trembled and spilled half of the tea from her cup.
“Ow!” she cried before putting the teacup down in haste. The back of her hand had already started to
turn red because of the
hot tex.
Terry’s eyebrows knitted, and he quickly took Lisa’s hand as he led her into the kitchen. He then turned
on the tap and let the cold running water flow over the back of Lisa’s scalded hand.
“Can’t you even hold a cup properly?” he asked her with a stern face.
“Umm,” she said in an anxious voice, “Please don’t tell my parents that we stayed in a hotel room
together back then! They’ve always been very conservative. If they find out about that, they’ll absolutely
chase me out like I’m a mangy mult!”
“Mangy mutt?” he squinted at her. “I’ve never heard anyone describe themselves as a dog before.”
Lisa found it hard to breathe, realizing that she might have used the wrong metaphor somelow.

okay?”
He pursed his lips tightly but said nothing.
“So? Say something, Terry White! As long as you promise to keep it a secret, l’IL..”
She suddenly paused when she got to that point. What could she do for him? Treat him to a meal? But
he could afford to eat 2/2
anything he desired anytime he liked! Give him a present? But she was talking to a man who was
thousands of times richer than she was right now, and she just could not think of what to give him.
Should she give him something that was not an object but rather an experience? Perhaps she could
take him to an idal’s concert, at perhaps she should sing and dance for him herself?
But no matter what she thought of, it all seerard inappropriate. By now Lisa had fallen silent for a long
while, and she no longer had any idea how to continue the conversation.
“What will you do for me?” Terry bent down languidly and fixed his eyes on her.
Seeing that exquisite face at such a close distance made her heart beat faster again. She could not
help but silently grumble at how unfair it was that this man could look so attractive, especially his skin,
which was much smoother than hers
She even considered asking him what kind of skincare products he used.
