52 -52: Three’s a Crowd for Master Carter
Finding someone occupying his old spot, Adam Willow felt somewhat disappointed, but upon a closer look, he was stunned.
Emily Parker sat there alone, with three dishes laid out in front of her.
All three dishes had gone cold, clearly not meant for Emily to eat alone.
Every dish was Adam’s past favorite.
Adam’s gaze flickered, feeling a peculiar sensation in his heart.
On the surface, Emily had severed ties with him, keeping him at arm’s length, refusing even to answer his calls.
Yet in reality, she had snuck into their formerly favorite restaurant and ordered the dishes they both loved.
Why put herself through this?
Adam felt a surge of covert joy about to speak.
Sophie Parker next to him suddenly grabbed his hand, their fingers interlocked, visibly declaring ownership.
Only then did Adam remember that he was now Sophie Parker’s boyfriend, and she could help him.
Since Sophie told him she could have dreams that predict the future, at first, Adam didn’t believe it—after all, he was in medicine, a believer in science.
But Sophie claimed she dreamt that a certain stock would rise.
Skeptical, Adam still followed her advice and invested ten thousand yuan; to his astonishment, in just a few days, the stock hit the upper limit, doubling to over twenty thousand.
Proof that Sophie’s premonitory dreams were real.
Reflecting on Sophie’s benefits, Adam sighed lightly, letting her hold his hand.
Sophie intentionally walked up to Emily, looking down on her with an air of superiority.
“Sister, what a coincidence that you’re here too,” Sophie said.
Seeing Adam and Sophie together, Emily lost her appetite.
Watching that Carlos still hadn’t returned, Emily decided not to eat.
She stood up, only to be pushed back into her seat by Sophie’s firm hand on her shoulder.
Emily furrowed her brows and picked up a chopstick, holding it in her hand.
Sophie didn’t notice Emily’s subtle gesture,
“Sister, leaving with so much food uneaten?
What a waste that would be.”
Then she purposely spoke aloud to Adam,
“Brother Adam, don’t just stand there.
Didn’t you say you love the fish from this place?
Since it’s ready, let’s eat together.
I don’t think sister would mind having a meal together with three people, right?”
Adam furrowed his brows, only then noticing the dishes on the table were laced with garlic and cilantro, which he didn’t like.
As Sophie was about to sit down, Emily’s chopstick silently shot out.
Sophie only felt her knees buckle, and the next moment, a long leg stretched over and kicked the stool right out from under her.
“Ouch!”
Adam reached out to help, but it was too late—Sophie landed squarely on the floor.
The ground was slick with oil, and needless to say, Sophie’s brand-new designer clothes were now stained with grease.
Sophie felt a sharp pain in her knees, tried to stand again, and ended up sitting back down.
With eyes reddening in anger, she turned around cursing loudly.
“Who would do such a despicable thing!”
But when she saw who was standing behind her, she was struck as if by lightning, frozen in place, forgetting to stand up. novelbuddy.cσ๓
Following Sophie’s gaze, one could see a pair of disproportionately long legs belonging to a man.
The man wore a mask concealing his sharp and handsome features.
His presence seemed completely out of place in this small diner, not to mention he was holding two popular milk teas.
Who else but Carlos.
“You’re back.”
Joy tinged Emily’s voice with a hint of surprise.
She hadn’t expected Carlos to really come back.
“Didn’t see someone sitting here, get lost.”
Saying so, Carlos strode forward, bumping Adam Willow, who was blocking his view, to the side.
He had only left for a moment, and this annoying guy showed up; what a coincidence.
Adam Willow was stunned for a moment; he didn’t recognize Carlos, but Sophie Parker, sitting on the ground beside him, was dumbfounded.
She couldn’t believe it as she saw Carlos walking up to Emily Parker and awkwardly handing her a cup of milk tea.
When he was on the road, he saw Emily Parker staring at a milk tea shop, thinking probably she liked to drink it.
After he finished checking the surveillance, he asked Oliver Ross to go and save Rainny White, and he went to buy two signature milk teas along the way, one hot and one at room temperature.
Emily Parker took the milk tea, the warm drink heating the palm of her hand.
She also liked that popular milk tea shop; she and Adam Willow used to enjoy drinking its signature milk tea when they were together.
She used to queue every time to buy one for herself and one for Adam Willow.
Today, when she passed the milk tea shop, she was tempted to buy some, but the queue was too long, and she thought it was too much trouble, so she didn’t buy any.
She never expected Carlos to have noticed.
Seeing Carlos suddenly emerge, Adam Willow’s brows were tightly knitted.
He was shorter than Carlos and was overwhelmingly outmatched in presence.
He didn’t connect the now-grown Carlos with the one from junior high.
He helped Sophie Parker up, seeing her look of grievance, and then glanced at Emily Parker, feeling inexplicable annoyance in his heart.
This man must be the male secretary from the Carter Clan.
“Sir, even if my girlfriend accidentally took your seat.
You could have simply reminded us out loud, we know Emily Parker.
My girlfriend just wanted to sit down for a meal together.”
“Is it your eyes that aren’t working, or is it your brain?
This table is only so big, two people eating is just right, three people eating, that’s too crowded.”
Carlos didn’t care about all that, he only knew that during the time he went to buy milk tea, his seat was almost taken.
When Emily Parker confronted him in the elevator before, wasn’t she very fierce?
Why did she become so weak in front of Adam Willow?
Surely she still has lingering feelings; when she sees Adam Willow, she can’t move.
“Brother Adam, forget it.”
Sophie Parker seemed to have been scared out of her wits, her previous momentum vanished in an instant.
She tugged at Adam Willow, but her knee hurt so badly, she couldn’t walk.
Adam Willow had no choice but to support her and as they turned to leave, Adam Willow glanced at the dishes on the table and couldn’t help asking,
“If you really like Emily Parker, you should know that she doesn’t eat garlic or cilantro.”
After saying this, Adam Willow looked triumphant as he watched Carlos.
This man, he’s only known Emily Parker for so short a time.
He doesn’t understand Emily Parker.
Emily Parker glanced at the dishes on the table and replied indifferently,
“Adam Willow, I’ve always liked eating garlic and cilantro.
The one who doesn’t like to eat them is you.”
Adam Willow was taken aback, and it took a while for him to come to his senses, then he left, supporting Sophie Parker.
It wasn’t until they were outside the small restaurant that Adam Willow thought to check Sophie Parker’s foot.
Her knee was swollen badly; whether it was twisted or not, he didn’t know, so he asked Sophie Parker to wait there and he went to a nearby convenience store to buy an ice pack.
After Adam Willow left, Sophie Parker trembled uncontrollably, looking at the small restaurant behind her, her mind revolved around a single thought over and over.
“How can Carlos be here?
How can he be eating with Emily Parker,
He even bought Emily Parker milk tea, that’s impossible!”
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Sophie Parker would never believe her eyes, the man wearing a mask just now wasn’t Oliver Ross, but Carlos!
