Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 561

Chapter 561 Love Affair in Their Youth

“Yes, that’s me,” Elise said. Wry-necked, she took a peek behind the plump-looking woman. It’s my house, alright.

In the next second, Quentin appeared behind the woman and greeted Elise with a cheerful smile on his face, “Ellie, you’re back!”

“Papa?” Elise stayed frozen in place. “W-Why are you here?”

“To come and see you, of course.” Quentin stepped forward. Then, he started introducing the woman. “Meet my wife, your Mama, Layla. Say hi.”

“M-Mama?” Elise repeated the word again, feeling uncertain.

However, Layla responded. “Hi. Why don’t you come inside first?” After saying that, she turned around and headed inside the house.

Elise looked at Layla’s plump figure. Then, she looked at the thin yet elegant-looking Quentin and whispered, “Is that Joey’s mum?”

Upon hearing that, Quentin nodded slightly. His eyes trailed after Layla, his gaze full of love and happiness. “Isn’t she pretty?”

Elise was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. Nevertheless, she nodded her head, acknowledging Quentin’s words. “She is!”

“And here I thought you only wanted Joey and would abandon Joey’s mum,” Elise teased Quentin as she took off her shoes.

“How could you accuse me like that?” Quentin rolled his eyes. “Do I look like an irresponsible man to you?”

From top to bottom, Elise scrutinized Quentin all over again. He is still dapper in appearance and keeps his body in such good shape at this age… Papa has the prerequisite to be an irresponsible man indeed.

As smart as Elise was, she would never say her thoughts out. Instead, she answered, “Of course not.”

She paused for a while. Then, she lowered her voice again and leaned closer to Quentin’s ear. With a gossipy manner, she probed, “Tell me how you and Mama met back then.”

Slightly embarrassed, Quentin said, “Sigh! Who never once had a love story in their youth before? I may be old now, but I recall I used to have admirers that could stretch across the globe!”

“Why are you two still chit-chatting over there? Hurry up and come in!” Layla’s loud voice was suddenly heard from inside.

Elise unknowingly widened her eyes and exchanged glances with Quentin. “Wow… Mama sure has a strong vocal cord…”

Upon hearing that, Quentin smiled but did not answer anymore. Then, he patted Elise on the arm, and the two entered together.

As soon as they made their way into the living room, Elise realized that Joey was also there, wearing a pair of headphones. She was minding her business and immersing herself in her own world.

“You two sure are close, with your non-stop tête-à-tête,” Layla suddenly spurted out of the blue.

“Huh?” Elise did not understand what Layla meant. Papa and I haven’t seen each other for a long time. Of course we need to catch up with each other.

“Tsk!” At once, Quentin signaled Layla with his gaze. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“If you don’t harbor any hidden intentions, why would you care what I’m spurting out of my mouth?” Layla rolled her eyes fearlessly. Then, she turned her eyes to look at Elise again. “Your Papa told me that you’re a great cook. We haven’t eaten anything yet because we’re waiting to have a taste of your cooking. I know it’s late, but can you make us a meal, considering we came all the way here? It won’t be too troublesome, right?”

“No… Not troublesome at all,” Elise said with a good temperament. Then, she took off her coat and walked into the kitchen. “Why don’t you all rest for a moment while I cook us a few simple dishes? Since all the ingredients are ready-to-cook, I just need to stir-fry them. I’m sure I’ll be done in a jiffy.”

“Don’t go over the top, alright? To have a full belly at dinner is not good for one’s health.” Quentin advised.

All of a sudden, Layla gave Quentin a slap on the arm before he could finish speaking. “Why do you like making other people’s businesses part of your business?”

Feeling helpless, Quentin sighed. “What’s ruffling your feathers again?”
