Three o'clock? Why did he come here personally?

Subconsciously, Lauren wanted to look at his phone. When she took a step forward, Willy hooked his arm around her waist. "I'm here to pick you up for dinner tonight!" "Dinner?" Why couldn't he just ask her over the phone?

Lauren looked at him with her eyebrows raised and said with a smile, "Were you afraid that I'd say no?"

"Haha, you're right!"

Willy scratched her nose and said, "It's a very important dinner. You can't be absent today!"

"What kind of dinner is it?"

Just as she wondered if her family did not give her any information, his phone started ringing. Willy could only say, "I'll take this. Go and pack up. Let's talk later!" "All right!"

Seeing that it was from Lexx, Lauren turned to the break room on one side. She took off her slippers and changed into her shoes. Then she tidied up her bag.

After a delay, neither of them had time to think about it. They felt that Lauren's clothes were too casual. Willy even took her to pick an elegant dress. Both of them were busy with work on the way. When Lauren thought about it, the car had already entered the hotel parking space.

Before she could open her mouth, Willy said, "By the way, I have prepared a very special gift for you. In a few days, I will give you a surprise. I promise you that you like it!"

Thinking of his own drawing, Willy had a sense of accomplishment. He felt that this was the best drawing in his life. The only regret was that it was casually done on a piece of scrap paper and not actual drawing paper. If not it would've been perfect. Imperfectly perfect, maybe this was life!

"Why do you say things half-a*sed? What kind of surprise is like this? You're clearly just keeping me on edge!"

While making fun of him, Lauren was relaxed. Willy just smiled and while he helped her down the car.

"Ho ho, it's a secret! Half a surprise is still a surprise! If I'm in a good mood, maybe I will let you know. If you are not grateful, I will blame you! Maybe I should've not said anything!"

Obviously, Willy was also very happy, and Lauren also felt it.

At this moment, the fingers of the two people lightly touched as they fooled around with each other. They were like a couple in love, and there was no gap between them.

At this time, in the private room of the hotel, there was Alfred and Vanessa on one side, and Mr. Luther, Rosa, and their daughter Isla on the other side. Although the two families did not visit each other much in recent years, they had seen each other a few times, so they knew each other and became familiar with each other.

On the other side, Alfred and Mr. Luther were almost leaning against each other, and they talked happily,

"Alfred, we haven't sat down together for many years! You don't even know how happy I was when I suddenly received a call from you saying that you wanted to find an in-law for me."

As he patted on Alfred's hand, Mr. Luther's cold face melted like a snow mountain.

"That's right! That's right! We're destined to meet each other. We've been busy for so many years, and never had the chance to meet. But God has given us a chance!" Nodding, Alfred sighed with emotion.

In fact, they had known each other

ven

for dozens of years. They used to be very good friends and pursued Iris together. Although the three of them were not childhood sweethearts, they had known each other for many years. Later, Iris chose him, so in order to avoid awkwardness between the three of them, they shared a tacit understanding and gradually alienated from each other. Later, when he fell in love with his current wife, Morganna, he learned the twists and turns of it by accident and naturally did not want to be too close to the Luther family. After they got married, he naturally hoped to make peace with each other.

The initial alienation was to help each other. But he did not expect

that when he heard about the storm of the Luther family again, it was about the grievous news of Iris' death. Later, he remarried. Although he was not clear about the inside story, he felt somewhat

uncomfortable about this matter. With different ideas, he did not take this step to break the deadlock.

But this day, he didn't expect that they would be sitting down at the same table because of his child.

Seeing each other again, Alfred did not feel as resentful as he had imagined. Instead, he looked at his old friend's white hair and realized that they were both getting old. Time passed too quickly.

There were some things that were not clear. No one knew who was right and who was wrong. There was no need to be so upset.

The two of them reminisced about their old days. Rosa's make-up was beautiful and she was smiling. Isla, who was next to her, had a stunning red dress on. She was fiddling with her hands under the table, and there was a wide smile on her face. On the other side, Vanessa did not speak much. Occasionally, she would interrupt with a smile and pour some drinks for them.

In fact, in the eyes of Vanessa, although Rosa was now the legitimate Mrs. Luther, she was still the second wife. Yesmine was the daughter of his first wife, so she was not too enthusiastic. She only felt that everyone was happy on the surface.

"Mr. Bowles' reputation is really well-known! It is our honor to have a close relationship with you. I have never had a son in my life. It is also my blessing to find a good son-in-law!"

"What are you talking about? Life is not perfect. God is fair. I'm the same. I never managed to have a daughter all these years. Now, we have a good woman who is well-matched with our son. She's beautiful, well-educated and well-informed. We are really lucky!" "Okay, okay, let's stop flattering each other!"

While laughing, Mr. Luther obviously couldn't help but say.

"However, I dare not say anything else. Our family is absolutely well-behaved. Our family has been strict since childhood, which is different from the women who are frivolous, vain and messy in today's society. You can absolutely rest assured about this!" Listening to his daughter's praises, Alfred was stunned. Just as he was about to pick up his glass, his hand froze in mid-air. After three seconds, Alfred finally spoke.

"Heavens, I think you're mistaken."

Willy held Lauren's hand and walked in. He heard and saw this scene.

At this time, without Alfred's explanation, everyone understood. They got up suddenly, and the faces of Rosa and Isla turned gloomy instantly.

Lauren was also shocked. The corners of her mouth twitched a few times and she was at a loss of words. But her heart was bleeding.

The Luther family actually did not

inform her of the gathering of the two families! From the looks of it, the Bowles family should be planning to arrange a marriage for her and Willy! However, it was obvious that her dear father had twisted it. He had never thought about her. He did not even have this bit of consciousness. Like his entire family, just like before, the first thing that came to mind was always the doted on the second daughter of the Luther family, Isla!
