Chapter 713
“Um…” Tia certainly wanted to have dinner with Emmanuel, but she glanced
at Rhea.
What a young and beautiful girl, and she seemed so gentle, a proper lady!
In contrast, she was just a kindergarten teacher from an ordinary family. How
could/she compete with her?!
“Maybe not. I’m here for a blind date today!” Tia, feeling a bit inferior, declined
softly.
At the wedding, although she saw Mackenzie call Emmanuel, she wasn’t
certain she was his wife. They didn’t seem like a couple, more like a superior
and subordinate.
Now that she saw Rhea, Tia was even more convinced that Rhea was
probably Emmanuel’s woman.
Emmanuel and his girlfriend were having dinner with her family; what
business did she have interfering?
“Alright then.” Emmanuel cast another glance at Jonathan and let out a silent
sigh. He thought it would be a shame if Tia really ended up with Jonathan.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, it was her choice, and he had no say in it.
Both groups ultimately sat down separately for their meals.
Jonathan was upset that he couldn’t get the Suite 888, so he just gave up
and found a random table to eat at.
He was no fool; he had already interpreted the look in Tia’s eyes. It seemed
like she had some kind of fascination with Emmanuel, that demon king.
At the table, Marianne tried her best to play matchmaker.
Though she also thought that Jonathan was far inferior to Emmanuel and his
earlier behavior had been quite dismal, he was still a wealthy young man,
after all. Marrying her daughter to him would ensure a comfortable material
life.
Jonathan, in a bad mood and not interested in wasting time, grabbed Tia’s
hand directly. “So, how about being my girlfriend? Let’s go on a date tonight. If
it goes well, I’ll arrange our engagement soon.”
A clichéd proposition, his plan was to get intimate with Tia tonight no matter
what.
Tia wasn’t naive. She could see right through his intentions.
She quickly withdrew her hand and shook her head. “We’re still not familiar
enough with each other yet. Let’s take it slow.”
“Slow my foot!”
Jonathan slammed the table and was about to vent his anger on Tia when
he unexpectedly saw Emmanuel again.
In reality, Emmanuel was still worried that Tia would be taken advantage of.
After all, she was the woman his cousin liked, and Rhea also suggested that
he come out and take a look and break up their blind date if possible.
Otherwise, if Tia fell into Jonathan’s trap, it would be a heartbreak not only for
her but also for Ryder.
“What are you up to again, Emmanuel?” Jonathan frowned. “Have I bothered
you by eating here? Be reasonable. Let’s not make trouble tonight.”
He was clearly scared, yet he was trying to sound tough.
Unexpectedly, Emmanuel stared at him for a moment and then furrowed his
brows, saying, “You seem to be poisoned.”
Jonathan trembled slightly, then burst into laughter. “Don’t try to scare me
with that nonsense! I’m not easily frightened. You just want to scare me off
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand ruin our blind date! It won’t work!”
One had to admit that this guy was quite the dimwit.
Emmanuel didn’t bother explaining further. His expression turned slightly
serious as he glanced at the people dining nearby.
After noticing many people’s expressions were off, he issued a stern warning,
“I’m not lying. Someone might have poisoned the restaurant!”
What? His words struck fear into the hearts of those who overheard. This was
no joking matter!
“Haha, an unemployed gynecologist trying to scare people with his words?”
Jonathan scoffed, thinking Emmanuel was just trying to mock him and make
him embarrass himself in front of Tia.
“Unfortunately, the Verkade family also deals in the herbal medicine
business, and I have medical skills. Even if I get poisoned, I can cure myself!
Don’t play tricks on-
Before he could finish saying “me,” his expression changed drastically.
What’s going on?
His stomach suddenly churned violently.
Thud.
Jonathan clutched his belly and sat down heavily.
Witnessing this scene, the people around the restaurant began freaking out.
