Chapter 18
Lira went to get a glass of juice, saw paper and pen on the table, and took them to the terrace.
She just wrote Brent an TOU
“What are you writing?”
Xander’s voice suddenly sounded behind me.
Lira quickly stuffed the IOU into her pocket and smiled, “Just scribbled something, nothing important.”
He asked again. “Why did he go outside?”
“I’m afraid you’ll ery.” Xander bent down slightly, checked her eyes, didn’t see any traces of crying, and felt relieved. “Brent is just like that, don’t take it to heart. He’s been having some unpleasantness with his family lately, in a bad mood.”
She knew there was a quarrel, but didn’t show it in her mood
Don’t have too good of an appetite for three meals a day.
I know,” Lira casually asked, “Why did Brent leave the army?”
In the previous life, this kind of thing never happened, so Lira was quite puzzled.
Tll ask in a bit Xander wasn’t sure either, so he asked her about herself, “You haven’t been home all this time?”
Lira shook her head, “I rented a house outside and I’m looking for a job. Uncle Xander, I’m not causing trouble this time
It doesn’t matter what others thought of her.
She hoped Xander understood, “she was serious”
Xander didn’t quite understand, “Lira, is there something I don’t know about?”
“No,” Lira said with a light laugh. “I just realized that if they can easily give up on me, it shows they don’t love me. Trying to make someone love me who doesn’t is just silly. I need to let go and I think you will support me, right?”
“Of course,” Xander wanted her to be happy more than anyone else. He felt relieved and heartbroken, so he patted her head and said, “I support you, but renting a house is not safe I will buy you a separate one.”
“No need, I’ve already rented it. If I don’t rent it, the deposit won’t be refunded. I’ll just stay here first. If it’s really uncomfortable, then I’ll think about it.” Lira smiled at him.
Xander didn’t want to forge her, he gave her a card and said, “I’ll say it again, don’t push yourself, tell me about any difficulties you can’t solve. Lira took his card and said, “Okay, thank you.”
She didn’t plan to use his card, just took it to put his mind at ease
The two of them were talking on the terrace, with Lira’s face reflected on the glass through the transparent French window, smiling brightly. Brent suddenly lost interest in playing cards and pushed them away, saying, “I’m done.”
Octavio was about to win, getting a bit excited, “At least finish this round”
Brent didn’t care if he won or lost, “I’m hungry.”
Octavio was so angry that he couldn’t even curse or fight back. He held his breath and shouted, “Bring the food! Can’t you hear the prince is hungry
The whole room moved to the dining room: Someone went to call Xander and Lira. When the two came in, the table was already Full, with two seats empty next to Brent and opposite him.
Half a table
apart.
Lira naturally wouldn’t sit next to Brent, so she went around and sat across from him.
Xander sat down next to Brent and said, “I brought a bottle of good wine, wanna have a couple of drinks?
only
< Chapter 18
The wine was already awake, and when the waiter heard Xander’s words, he came over to pour them wine.
Lira quietly sent a WhatsApp message.
The person’s phone rang on the table, he glanced at it and picked it up to answer.
Lina Dan’t drink anymore.”
Brent typed with a serious expression, “Are you concerned about me, or are you concerned about Uncle Xander?”
Isn’t it obvious?
Xander didn’t get hurt again.
Lira beplied with just one word, “you”
The man’s stern eyes softened suddenly, like ice melting. He put down his phone and covered the cup with his hand, saying, “I’m not drinking
anymore
The waiter glanced at Xander
Kander. ‘Don’t like this wine?”
Brent: “Someone did no.”
This person, intriguing.
“Oh, oh, oh, Brent, spill the tea! Who’s the brave girl who plucked the flower from your high mountain? Someone immediately started
gossiping
Lira: “..
She was on edge.
I nervously clenched my fists.
I wanted to see Xander’s expression but I didn’t dare, I wished I could bury myself under the table.
Brent was being so vague and mysterious, making people wonder what he was up to,
“Brent didn’t quit because of someone, did be? These people are just like that, always wanting to get to the bottom of gossip, especially Brent.
Once in a century.
Brent neither admitted nor denied, his attitude was unclear, kinda ambiguous.
He was like this, even Kander got curious, Ts something really going oni
Lira’s heart skipped a beat, visibly nervous.
Brent raised his eyelids and glanced at her, and she immediately gave him a pleading look.
Brent suddenly felt pretty lame and replied softly, I’m hurt
“Tsk.” Everyone got excited. Turns out the doctor wouldn’t allow it, Brent really knows how to mess with us
The table was full of people, but only Octavio knew what was really going on. He had a look of being sober while everyone else was drunk, and he ordered the waiter, “Give him a bottle of water.”
The table burst into laughter again.
Lira let out a sigh and tapped on WhatsApp to remind him, “There are so many people here, don’t talk nonsense.”
Brent: “I couldn’t stand seeing people?”
It’s not about whether she can see people, she
e just d doesn’t want to be misunderstood.
Lira smoothed her hair, “You’re so handsome it’s a crime, what’s so embarrassing, it’s me, I can’t stand it.”
She belinded herself, the prince should be satisfied now.
< Chapter 18
Seeing her praise him, Brent was reluctantly satisfied, about to type when someone noticed the two of them.
“Brent, Lira, why can’t you just say it directly? Why do you have to message on WhatsApp?”
Lira’s heart skipped a beat and she quickly glanced at Brent.
Brent acted like he never even messaged her on WhatsApp, he slammed his phone on the table and said, “She’s my cousin.
Xander gave him a glance.
The next second, someone walked in and said, “Sorry I’m late.”
It was Brent’s cousin Erica.
Lira’s heart sank again, she felt like she wasn’t there to eat, but to play with her heartbeat.
“Hey, turns out it was my misunderstanding. The person just slapped his forehead, picked up the glass, I’ll drink to that.”
He drank alcohol.
Xander’s suspicion in his ‘eyes disappeared, and he greeted Erica with a smile, saying, “Just in time.”
Called the waiter to add another seat
Erica walked over to Lira and said, I’m gonna sit with Lira over here.”
