heartache. She thought she could be indifferent,. b
But reality slapped her hardin the face.
Hunter seemed oblivious to her discomfort, leading her to Martin with a smile:. "Mr.
Langley, what a coincidence to meeting you here."
After saying that, he meaningfully glanced at Eva Green behind him:. "Having lunch with your girlfriend, huh!"
." He emphasized the word 'girlfriend' heavily.
Patricia's heart sank.
Upon hearing the voice, Eva Green peeked her head out from behind Martin, her eyes sparkling like stars in the night sky.
"Martin, is this your friend?"
Calling him by his first name.
InIn all of Ivara City, aside from Patricia, she was the second to call Martin by his first name.
This, which was enough to prove her status in Martin's his heart.
Patricia felt like she was felt a pang of jealousy, and her hand unconsciously tighteninged, trying to suppress the overwhelming sourness.
Martin didn't want to answer, his eyes fixed on Patricia as if trying to see through her.
Feeling his intense gaze, Patricia lowered her head, not daring to respond, and pretended to be dumbmute.
Hunter saw his her expression clearly, a hint of deadly intent flashing through his gentle eyes, but his face remained harmlessly smiling as he extended his hand to Eva. "Hello, my name is Hunter, I'm an acquaintance of Mr. Green: Langley."
"Hello, my name is Hunter, I'm an acquaintance of Mr. Langley."
Eva Green asked in confusion: "An acquaintance?"
Hunter clarified her confusion:, "An acquaintance is someone you know, but not well enough to call a friend."
Eva Green instantly understood:. "Oh!. So that's how you can introduce someone!" ."
After saying that, sShe shook Hunter's hand, smiling:. "Hello, I'm Eva Green. In the near futureSoon, I shouldmight become Mrs. Langley."Martin."
Her introduction left the three people present with different expressions.
Hunter appeared amused, seemingly pleased with the introduction.
Patricia felt a tightness in her chest,; the light in her eyes gradually extinguished, her whole beingand she felt completely hopeless.
Martin frowned in displeasure, his lips parting as if to explain, but then he seemed to think it unnecessary and swallowed his words.
Eva Green affectionately hooked Martin's arm:. "Since he's just an acquaintance, we won't invite you to join us for lunch!. Bye-bye!"
." With that, she pulled Martin back into the private room.
As the door to the private room closed, Patricia's heart trembled heavily.
Hunter's handsome face turned from livid to black, then from black to pale, a deep cold and anger hidden in his gentle eyes.
Taking a deep breath to suppress his raging fury, he returned to his gentle demeanor and deliberately asked:, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should we go back to the hospital for a check-up?"
Patricia, feeling upset, shook her head.
Hunter's expression darkened with jealousy, and rage nearly bursting forth,. hHis eyes were icy and violent, as if he wanted to burn Patricia to ashes.
Due toFor various reasons, he did not act out, hiding all his ruthlessness behind a gentle facade.
"If you're feeling unwell, shall we go back? I'll cook for you myself."
Patricia looked at him in surprise:. "You can cook?"
Hunter grinned:. "I'm not very good at it. I used to cook for my mom when I was a kid.
It's been a long time,. I'm probably rusty. But if I can't cook, surely I can't..."
Patricia, not wanting to stay here, nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's go back and eat!" ."
"Mm!"
." Hunter tenderly took her hand, but Patricia noticed his palm was sweaty.
'It's so cold., Wwhy is he sweating?'
"Hunter, are you... are you hot? Why are your palms all sweaty?" she asked.
Hunter laughed and explained:, "The heating here is turned up high,. I am indeed a bit warm!. It's fine,. iIt will cool down once we go outside."
What no one knew.
WhenHis palms would sweat when he was angry, excited, or out of control, his palms would sweat.
. Just now, he almost lost control.
Thankfully, he managed to restrain himself.
Patricia didn't doubt his words and left the restaurant with him.
Inside the private room.
, Eva Green looked at Martin with a beaming smile, happy like a child.
"Martin, I didn't expect us to be so fated to meet on a blind date. Doesn't this mean we're a match made in heaven?"
Martin didn't care about that; he was concerned about something else.
"How do you know my grandpa?"
"You mean Mr. Langley? Haha, that'sThat's a long story!. I met him and Mrs. Langley abroad in Country Y when they were nearly deceived by scammersscammed on the street."
Martin frowned: "Deceived?" . "Scammed?"
Eva Green nodded: "Yes! . "I've seen too many of those scammers. They saw Mr.
Langley and Mrs. Langley were elderly and tried to drag them to buy health products.
You wouldn't believe it,; products worth just a few dollars were being sold for thousands. Isn't that a scam? I couldn't stand by and see injustice on the road, so I helped to get them out of there."
Martin's face twitched.
His, and his temples throbbed. '
The shrewd old man got scammed?
OverAre health products worth a few thousand dollars?'
He found it hard to believe! .
Seeing his expression, Eva Green thought he shared her sentiment and started chattering away:. "You must think they're outrageous, too, right? Young people not working properly and scamming the elderly. That's their lifetime savings!. Many elderly people can't handle the shock and end up committing suicide."
Martin wondered: , 'Suicide?'
"Suicide?
Even if the sky fell, his grandparents wouldn't commit suicide.
Perhaps they knew from the start that those people were scammers, and just played along out of boredom.
After all, a few thousand dollars was nothing to them; it was a good way to kill time." .
Even without Martin saying a word, the conversation could still go oncontinue without a hitch, finding various topics to chat about.
"Let me tell you, Mr. Langley said a long time ago he wanted to introduce his grandson to me, but I never agreed!didn't agree. If I had known you were his grandson and so handsome, I would have come back a long time ago."
The usually silent Martin finally couldn't help but speak:. "Shallow."
Eva Green happily accepted his assessment:. "I am shallow!. People like beautiful and nice things. Aren't you the same? IfWould you still sit here with me if I were 150over a hundred years old and , 170 pounds, with small eyes and buck teeth, would you still sit here with me?" ?"
Martin said: "...??" stared.
Eva Green shrugged her shoulders, spreading her hands:. "See, I'm right!. You're shallow, too."
"...??"
Martin found himself at a loss for words, feeling like she made a bit of sensehad a point.
