Chapter 273 Gabriela's Scheme
Mrs. Ethanbez frowned upon hearing this.
"Didn't they give up looking for her back then? Why do they want to find her again?"
Matteo waved her hand.
"Alas! Old mater Levine is about to die, so maybe he doesn't want to die with regrets."
Such a topic was too sombre, so everyone didn't speak for a while.
Finally, Clarissa broke the silent atmosphere.
"The meal is about to start, right? Grandma, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."
Matteo nodded.
At lunch, hearing that Mr. Ethanbez and Mrs. Ethanbez had come back, some people from the Levine family came here.
Old master Levine was ill and he couldn't come here, so Gimmy came to greet Mrs. Ethanbez and Mr. Ethanbez with a few juniors. As the only girl among the younger generations, Gabriela naturally came here.
Not only them, but also Chantel, who seldom returned the villa had come back.
As soon as she entered the door, she chatted with Gabriela and Mrs. Ethanbez noisily.
Matteo only gave birth to a son and a daughter, and her son died young.
She was supposed to be nice to Chantel, her only daughter, but Chantel was easy to get too excited and nervous, so she didn't like Chantel's character and was not enthusiastic about her.
They stayed to have lunch together.
The dishes were very sumptuous, including a variety of styles of cooking. Chantel helped Matteo arrange seats for everyone.
When choosing seats, she pulled Gabriela to sit next to Anderson on purpose.
"Anderson, you haven't been back to Flaucford for a long time. We all miss you. Gabriela, you're also busy with work. You are old friends, but you haven't sat together and chatted for a long time. Today, I will give you a chance to talk to each other. Clarissa, you won't mind, will you?"
As she spoke, she looked at Clarissa provocatively.
Seeing this, other people were all embarrassed.
When Clarissa was about to speak, Matteo said unhappy, "Chantel, what are you doing? You let Gabriela sit there, but where should Clarissa sit?"
Chantel smiled hypocritically.
"Clarissa can sit next to me. I haven't talked to her for a long time."
"Stop it!"
Seeing that Matteo was about to get angry and there were other people from the Levine family present, Clarissa didn't want to argue with them on such a occasion because the Levine family and the Jordan family were old family friends.
She smiled unconcernedly, "Grandma, it's okay. I heard that Miss Levine and Anderson used to be classmates in high school. It's good that they can sit together and talk about the old days. Isn't there still a seat here? I'll just sit here."
As she said, she sat down on Anderson's left.
Seeing this, Matteo calmed down.
Mrs. Levine was a little embarrassed, but she didn't stop Clarissa and just smiled awkwardly.
"Mrs. Jordan, I'm so sorry. Gabriela is so unwise."
Matteo couldn't say anything, so she could only smile politely.
"It's okay. They were classmates, and it's normal that they're close to each other."
The incident was over, and the banquet began.
During the banquet, Chantel signaled Gabriela to approach Anderson. Although Gabriela was a bit embarrassed, she kept talking to Anderson.
Anderson treated Gabriela with a cold attitude, but Gabriela didn't want to give up.
If Anderson didn't reply to her, she would change the topic.
Chantel and Mrs. Levine helped her ease the atmosphere.
Even the onlookers could understand what was going on, let alone Anderson.
Matteo frowned hard, but Mrs. Jordan didn't sense anything wrong. He was a man, and he paid less attention to the relationships between them. He just felt that the atmosphere among the younger generations was somewhat Strange, but he didn't think too much.
However, Mrs. Ethanbez was a little bit angry in her heart.
How could Anderson be like this?
His wife was so beautiful, but he ignored her and flirted with another woman.
Was there no good upbringing in the Levine family?
Gabriela was eating in the Jordan family, but she treated Anderson so intimately in front of his wife! Was she not properly brought up?
Alas, she found her grandson too late.
If she could find him earlier, he might be able to pursue Clarissa, so that Clarissa wouldn't have to sulk here.
While feeling distressed, Mrs. Ethanbez comforted Clarissa.
"Clarissa, eat this. The fish meat is delicious, and it's good for your skin."
Clarissa quickly took it with a smile, "Thank you, Grandma Ethanbez. I should have picked up dishes for you."
"You're welcome. Matteo and I have been friends for decades, and I have long treated here as my own home. I hope you won't mind if I make myself at home."
"Of course not."
After a few words of courtesy, Clarissa looked aside and saw that Gabriela was talking to Anderson.
Their posture was intimate, and Gabriela leaned half of her body towards him.
She wore a V-neck sweater, and her delicate collarbone was partly hidden and partly visible. Someone who didn't know their relationship would think that they were a perfect match.
It seemed that Gabriela noticed that Clarissa was looking at her, she smiled, "Miss Chapman, I heard that you like to eat sea squirts. You should eat more tonight."
After speaking, she took a sea squirt and put it in Clarissa's plate.
Clarissa raised her eyebrows, but her expression didn't change.
She didn't know how Gabriela learned that she liked to eat sea squirts, but she was allergic to seafood and never ate it.
When she was about to refuse, a woman who sat opposite said with a smile, "Just eat it! I heard that you grew up in Visstead? Although it is not far from the sea, it is an inland city. You may not be able to eat such a good sea squirt there. Just have a try."
"Yes, these sea squirts are brought by Gabriela! If you like it, let Gabriela get some for you every few days. Anyway, she can always buy them."
Clarissa twitched the corner of her mouth lightly, and suddenly didn't want to say anything to refuse.
She thought for a while and said blandly, "Okay."
Then she put the sea squirt aside and said, "Thank you, Miss Levine. I will eat it after it becomes old."
Seeing this, Gabriela didn't say anything, and turned to chat with Anderson.
In fact, she was the one who kept talking, and Anderson would only reply to her coldly from time to time.
"By the way, my brother has come back today. You know that?"
Anderson finally had some reaction. He raised his head and glanced at her, "I know."
"He has contacted you, right? Oh, I forgot that since your relationship is so good, he would definitely tell you when he came back."
Gabriela thought for a while and then said, "Tonight he and Anthony went to Sunland together. Before I came here, he called me and asked me to go there later. Shall we go together?"
