Chapter 236 Quentin and I Started Dating
Violet had consented to an evening gathering, prompting Max to promptly secure a reservation at a restaurant. In the interim, Violet was engrossed in the task of packing her luggage. After a day filled with ceaseless activity, she had managed to pack the majority of her possessions.Observing the house strewn with packed items, Henry and Nicole, the two young children, wore expressions of puzzlement and confusion. They were at a loss to comprehend the ongoing events.Henry was the first to voice his confusion, turning to his mother and asking, "Mom, what's happening?"
"Sweetie, it's nothing to worry about. We're moving to a new, larger, and more beautiful home," Violet reassured him, gently stroking his head. "I'm sure you'll adore it."Taken aback, Henry questioned, "Mom, are we relocating to a new home?""Yes, a new and very spacious home," Violet confirmed.
Nicole, standing beside her, tugged at her arm and blinked curiously, uttering, "Mommy."Violet promptly embraced her, saying, "Nicole, our new home has a grand swimming pool. Would you like Mommy to teach you and your brother how to swim there?"Nicole was unfamiliar with the term "swimming pool" and didn't comprehend its meaning, but her mother's joyful tone suggested it was something enjoyable. She was eager to see the swimming pool in their new home.Nicole bobbed her little head in enthusiastic agreement. Violet affectionately patted her head before carrying her to the living room to feed her some baby food.After a period of calm, Violet seized the opportunity to freshen up, changing into her work attire in preparation for her shift.As was customary, Max approached Violet as soon as she settled into her office, a dessert in hand. "Violet, give this a try. I happened upon a newly inaugurated cake shop this morning and bought it on a whim. It should be delightful. Sweet treats are quite popular among ladies, aren't they?"
Max tenderly placed the dessert on Violet's desk, his eyes brimming with affection and admiration for her.Violet was oblivious to the affectionate gaze Max directed at her, feeling only a twinge of embarrassment and discomfort. "Mr. Green, I don't eat deserts," she responded. This was not entirely truthful; she was simply reluctant to accept his kindness.She was aware of Max's burgeoning interest in her, but she was not ready to reciprocate, and thus she declined his offer politely."You don't like it?" Max was under the impression that all women had a fondness for desserts."Yes," Violet responded, maintaining her polite refusal."Very well, I'll enjoy it myself then." Max was oblivious to her rejection, assuming she genuinely disliked the dessert. Before retreating to his office, he suddenly remembered their dinner plans. He reminded her, "Violet, don't forget, we're having dinner together tonight."
"I haven't forgotten," she replied. "Excellent, you may return to your work." Max nodded at her and took the cake back to his office. That evening, he intended to seize the opportunity to spend time with her after dinner and confess his feelings. He was unwilling to delay any longer. He was resolute in his decision to confess his love for her.After observing him retreat into the manager's office, Violet exhaled deeply. She rubbed her hands together and refocused on her work. Her task for the day was to design Lady Hall's coat.
Violet hunched over the drawing board, sketching the coat's lines. After a while, her phone, which was resting on the table, vibrated. A message from Brady appeared on the screen.
Brady: [Would you like to have dinner together tonight?]Violet glanced at the message and immediately declined without hesitation.
Violet: [Brady, I already have plans for tonight.]
Brady: [With Quentin?] Violet was surprised that he remembered Quentin so clearly. She responded,
Violet: [Yes, I'm dating Quentin now. If you have any self-awareness, don't disturb us.]Upon receiving her message, a smirk formed on Brady's lips. He thought, ‘Is she openly challenging me?'However, he chose not to respond, instead raising an eyebrow as he contemplated the situation. He decided he should meet Quentin that evening.
