Chapter 149 Intimate Contact
If Charles had been cold before, now there was a hint of a smile.
"No." Because of this sentence, the coldness in Charles's eyes dissipated by more than half. "Matteo, pay up."
Matteo responded twice and immediately took out his bank card.
"Give more." Charles's voice was calm, but it couldn't hide the aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
Adeline glanced at him and then at the obedient Matteo. "Are you friends?"
Charles didn't hide it from her. "He is a colleague from a branch office."
"Yes! Colleague!" Matteo straightened his posture.
Adeline didn't care much. "We don't accept credit cards here, but online payment works. Scan this code."
Matteo's gaze shifted slightly to the right. "How much should I pay?"
"Do you also listen to your friends when deciding how much to pay for medical treatment?" Adeline smiled playfully.
Matteo immediately paid $100,000, which shouldn't be too much or too little.
Matteo had carefully considered this amount, keeping it within the range of general wellness treatment prices.
Hearing the notification of the payment, Adeline raised an eyebrow. "You can bring more friends like him in the future."
Although she said that, Adeline still refunded $99,900, tapping the previous promotional blackboard with her right hand. "Chiropractic adjustment, $100."
Matteo was once again shocked. "One hundred dollars!"
This made him very uncomfortable. In their place, it would never be this cheap!
"My God!" Matteo kept exclaiming.
Summer, who had just come in after seeing off a neighbor, thought something was wrong. "Adeline, is he in pain after the adjustment? That shouldn't be."
"He's marveling at the profoundness of traditional medicine." Adeline wanted to help Summer with the grocery basket.
But Summer blocked her with a hand. "You calculate today's accounts and see if there are any medicines we're short of. I'll chat with your boyfriend for a bit."
Matteo stopped shouting, looking puzzled.
Adeline then realized that her previous lie wasn't so perfect.
Her usually playful eyes froze for a moment, just as she was about to speak.
Charles's pleasant voice came over, faintly smiling. "Alright, Grandma."
Matteo was so shocked that his jaw almost dislocated, his expression as rich as a theater actor's
No wonder he was like this; Charles had never shown interest in girls.
Whether it was socialites or actresses, many had pursued Charles.
This time, when Charles went to Albion for an inspection, even the princess had shown interest in him.
Charles, being a gentleman, had declined gracefully, saying he had a girlfriend.
Before this, Matteo had always thought it was just an excuse. If Charles really had a girlfriend, wouldn't Nicholas know?
Matteo looked at Charles, then at Adeline. If this news got out, it would shock many people!
Adeline didn't care much about how Matteo viewed this relationship. She smiled lightly. "Grandma, what do you want to talk to him about? If you have any questions, ask me."
"Will you tell the truth if I ask you?" Summer was still sharp. "Besides, since he's here, shouldn't I talk to him first?"
Charles reached out and pulled Adeline back, half-hugging her as if he were really her boyfriend. His voice was deep, with a smile, very pleasant. "Indeed."
