Chapter 1340 Strangers with Blood Relations
Andrea's cunning was practically written all over her face. He had seen too many women like her.
Unlike Natalie, who didn't have so many schemes and wouldn't play hard to get. No wonder people said Adrian had good taste, marrying someone as interesting as Natalie.
"Where do you live? I'll take you home."
"I don't want to go back. Jamie is worried about Rachel and isn't home, so it's just me and the servants. It's really boring. Donte, are you busy right now? I heard Grandpa asked you to take over the company. Why don't you take me to see Skybright Real Estate Group?"
Andrea looked at Donte's handsome profile and couldn't help but blush slightly.
She didn't actually like Donte; her heart was still set on Adrian.
But a man like Donte, with his superior looks and control over Skybright Real Estate Group, naturally caught Andrea's attention.
She didn't believe any man could resist her face.
"Donte, since I woke up, I've never visited our family's business. I want to take a look."
Donte didn't refuse. "Sure, you haven't eaten much at home. How about we grab some afternoon coffee first, and then I'll take you to Skybright Real Estate Group."
"Thank you, Donte." Andrea smiled politely and gracefully.
"Where do you want to go for coffee? You girls probably know more places. I'm new to Vachilit and don't know much."
"Let's go to Cloud Café up ahead."
Andrea got out of the car, walked inside, and ordered two coffees, a pudding, and some pastries. A few minutes later, Donte parked the car and joined her.
At 2:25 PM, a few people trickled into the café.
Andrea said, "The coffee here is pretty good. I didn't know your taste, Donte, so I just ordered randomly."
Donte crossed his knees. "Thanks."
"Donte, are you staying in Vachilit for good this time?"
"Yeah, pretty much. I'll visit my mom when I have time." Donte took a sip of his coffee.
"Donte, where are you living? Not with the Howard family?"
"No, I live near Strollway District."
Andrea nodded. She knew Donte's relationship with the Howard family was thin. He rarely came back, even though he was Ruben's grandson. Melissa favored Adrian more and was somewhat distant with Donte.
Since waking up, Andrea faced similar issues. She didn't feel the joy of family with the Howard family members. She often felt awkward and out of place, forcing herself to smile.
Rachel, on the other hand, was naturally at ease at home. Andrea had to wear a mask of a dignified lady.
"Donte, I really understand you." Andrea lowered her gaze.
Donte didn't expect Andrea to suddenly look like she was about to cry. "What's wrong? Tell me."
"Donte, don't you feel like you're being excluded in the Howard family?" Andrea's eyes reddened with grievance, looking at Donte with watery eyes.
"I was in a coma for seven years. When I woke up, everything at home had changed. It all feels so unfamiliar, even being around Grandpa. I keep up basic politeness, but I can't get close to them."
Donte slowly clenched his fingers.
"Andrea, don't overthink it."
