Chapter 123 You Speak More Than Isabella
"Having Japanese food? It's a must to drink alcohol for it to taste good!" Isabella said. "And the alcohol in this Japanese restaurant is very weak, it lacks intensity."
Sebastian firmly expressed his stance, "I said we shouldn't drink, so we shouldn't."
Kaine immediately chimed in, "That's right, my lady. Women should drink less."
"Emily just had some," Isabella retorted.
"You're trying to conceive," Sebastian calmly replied, "so taking care of your health is a priority."
Isabella suddenly felt deflated, it wasn't that she wanted to go against Sebastian, she really just wanted to have a drink!
Just a little bit, she wasn't aiming to get drunk, enjoying Japanese food with a little alcohol, wouldn't that be delightful?
"Conceiving!"
Emily seemed to have heard some shocking news as she enthusiastically switched sides to Sebastian, "Then you should refrain from drinking, Bella. Drink juice instead!"
"...You can all drink, I'll have juice."
"I'll accompany you; I won't drink. Besides, I've already toasted Mr. Lawrence," Emily said.
"Oh, Bella, if you and Mr. Lawrence are trying to conceive, it seems that I'll become an aunt soon!"
"Yes... that's right, trying to conceive," Isabella forced a smile, "I think we'll have good news soon."
Emily immediately glanced at Sebastian, "In that case, Mr. Lawrence shouldn't drink either. Both of you need to watch your diet."
Kaine cleared his throat a few times, trying to remind her not to interfere with Mr. Lawrence.
However,
"Take away the alcohol," Sebastian looked at the waiter beside him, "We don't need it anymore."
"Understood, Mr. Lawrence."
Emily didn't see anything wrong and said solemnly, "Conceiving is a matter for both parties. Bella needs to take care, and Mr. Lawrence, you should also quit smoking and drinking, that way, the baby will be healthy and smart."
"As long as the baby isn't like her, he'll definitely be smart."
Isabella exclaimed, "Hey!"
"Makes sense," Emily nodded, "It's better to be more like Mr. Lawrence."
Sebastian's mouth curved slightly, "Miss Perez you are truly perceptive. I... regret not meeting you earlier."
"It's never too late," Emily responded.
"We can still meet more in the future. It's just that our Bella, she's a bit slow and stubborn, not so adaptable. Mr. Lawrence, on the other hand, you are more accommodating."
"I agree."
Isabella "???"
She watched Sebastian and Emily coming to an agreement like this, with her eyes wide open.
Who was the one with a sour face earlier, refusing to eat together?
Isabella really wanted to tell Emily right now, immediately...
However, Sebastian was not as perfect as Emily imagined.
"Of course," Sebastian continued, "When you marry someone, you have to spoil them yourself."
Emily clasped her hands together, fingers intertwined, and looked at Sebastian with admiration.
"Mr. Lawrence, you truly are an extraordinary and wonderful man..."
"Let's eat, let's eat!" Isabella suddenly picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of salmon, placing it in Emily's bowl. "Stop daydreaming!"
"Oh, I really regret not meeting Mr. Lawrence earlier. He's rich, powerful, handsome, and devoted to his wife. He's even more perfect than the male leads in TV dramas!"
Isabella gritted her teeth and forced a smile. "Emily, let's eat. Can you please stop talking?"
If they keep praising him like this, Sebastian's ego will skyrocket!
Although Isabella knew her best friend's personality well, she never expected Sebastian to fall for it!
As a business elite, he was constantly being flattered by others.
How could Emily's few words make him happy? It was truly puzzling!
"Oh, Bella, although I truly feel that Mr. Lawrence is not a perfect match for you, as long as he likes you, that's all that matters. Who cares about social status and appearances..."
Isabella initially wanted to provoke Sebastian during this meal. However, she ended up being enraged by Emily instead!
"Can you please not put an extra thick filter on Sebastian?" she asked. "Emily, he also has flaws. He's not perfect."
"If he had no flaws, then you wouldn't be worthy of him, Bella."
Sebastian's deep laughter echoed from the side.
He was laughing, and he laughed out loud.
Isabella handed him a sushi roll.
"Why are you laughing?"
Kaine kept his head down the entire time, silently eating to reduce his presence.
However, he was the one who understood the situation the most.
Kaine casually glanced at Emily beside him and thought, this girl... is innocent, pure, and kind-hearted.
What was originally an unpleasant dinner, became much more relaxed after Emily's flattery brought a smile to Sebastian's face.
As they left, Sebastian looked at Emily and said, "In the Lawrence Group, if you ever encounter any difficulties, feel free to come find me. Or you can approach Kaine, and he will inform me."
Emily's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"I give you, my word."
"In that case, thank you in advance, Mr. Lawrence!" Emily said.
"Mr. Lawrence is truly wise, handsome, charming, and talented. He has left me in awe!"
"You can talk so much better than Isabella, you have potential," Sebastian replied.
Isabella snorted, "So, Mr. Lawrence is such a shallow person. You're pleased with just a few insincere compliments?"
Sebastian hadn't spoken yet, but Emily rushed to defend him, "How can Mr. Lawrence be shallow? Stop belittling him. I'm happy for you to have such a good husband."
"..."
Isabella really couldn't comment.
She really shouldn't have let Sebastian and Emily have this meal together!
Clearly, Emily had become Sebastian's die-hard fan!
What's worse, Sebastian seemed to enjoy Emily's admiration!
Was it the world that had gone crazy, or had she gone mad herself?
Sebastian had already walked towards the car, saying, "Goodbye. We'll have a meal together next time we get the chance. Kaine, you can take Emily back to the company."
"Yes, Mr. Lawrence."
Emily was blissfully unaware of any problems with the dinner.
Even when Sebastian's face had been so stern at the beginning that the waiters were in awe.
But she thought that people in high positions were just like that.
"Thank you, Kaine."
After Sebastian's sports car drove away, Emily turned to Kaine, "I only intended to invite him, but I didn't expect you to invite both Mr. Lawrence and Bella!"
"Um... You're welcome, you're welcome..."
"This place is expensive, isn't it? How much did this meal cost?"
Kaine glanced at the bill, "23,200 yuan."
Emily's mouth dropped open, "So expensive!"
Seeing her exaggerated expression, Kaine laughed.
She really couldn't understand the situation, but she was both confused and adorable, unwittingly diffusing Mr. Lawrence's anger.
