Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 747

Chapter 747 It’s Her, Correct?

Narissa’s cheeks flushed as she smiled awkwardly. “Yes, best friends. After all, you’re so weak that it’s impossible for me to like you.” She took a big gulp out of her glass, as if she was also trying to swallow her guilt.

That day, Madeline felt like having dumplings, so the family and the guests broadcasted the process of making dumplings in front of the cameras at the Griffith Residence.

Elise was the most professional and was in charge of kneading the dough while Alexander helped her out. Brendan was handling the stuffing, and Tara was standing beside and watching over him. To prevent them from spending too much time together and eventually falling in love, Madeline deliberately dragged Yuri along to pick vegetables, and they did this next to the duo.

“Mr. Brendan, have you had any inspiration yet for the evening dress you wanted to design for me? Why don’t I go to your room to look at the draft later?” Tara was being very proactive.

“Sure,” Brendan answered calmly. “The draft is in the study. You can look at it anytime.”

Hearing that, Madeline rolled her eyes. “I’ll go too.”

Just then, the director shouted again, “The second guest has arrived. Let’s welcome Christopher Edwards!”

Madeline had seen the program schedule in advance and knew that the guest was a man, so she did not have much expectations. She merely followed everyone’s gaze and looked at him. Christopher looked to be thirty. He was dressed properly in a button down and he was a magnetic man, especially when he spoke. He had a mature and alluring voice.

“Good afternoon. I’m Christopher, an interior designer. I look forward to spending time with all of you these few days, and more importantly, I hope I have the honor to be Yuri’s friend.”

Obviously, he came for Yuri.

After introducing himself and having a brief exchange with the Griffith Family, Christopher sat down at Yuri’s table. He and Yuri hit it off right away, talking about everything and anything from clothing design to interior design. Poor Madeline did not even find a chance to interrupt them. She was just like a humanoid stand, or to be exact, an angry humanoid stand.

The way Christopher looked at Yuri, with that blatant admiration and pampering gaze, almost blinded her! What is wrong with the film crew? How dare they invite someone who’s trying hard to snatch my daughter-in-law away? I might just sue them!

Unable to stand it any longer, Madeline made up a random excuse and left.

Meanwhile, Brendan observed everything from a distance. He saw how the pair were chatting in a jovial mood, and his dark eyes were overflowing with jealousy. Turns out she is able to laugh in front of other men, and her stone-cold attitude is only geared toward me, he thought. He was so lost in his thoughts that he was not aware that he accidentally cut his finger while preparing the stuffing. All at once, blood came gushing out.

“Oh no! You should be more careful!” Tara, who was standing beside and watching Brendan, immediately noticed the cut and was very concerned. She took out a wet tissue, grabbed his finger and even sucked his wound.

He glanced down, but did not refuse Tara’s action as he wanted to see what Yuri’s reaction would be. However, when he turned his head, he only saw how the pair seemed to be isolated in their world, smiling and chatting happily. They were completely unaware of what transpired at his end. Seeing that, his other hand balled into a fist unconsciously. For a split second, there was an overwhelming urge to tear the picturesque view to shreds. However, he was able to quickly suppress his urge to destroy. After all, he was an adult. But he also pulled back his hand and walked back to the house, leaving Tara alone.

Tara was completely clueless about Brendan’s sudden behavior. Fortunately, Danny was there making the atmosphere lively. She did not feel left out at the very least.

Night had fallen, and the group of people sat in a circle to have a meal.

The non-stop conversing throughout the whole afternoon saw the relationship between Yuri and Christopher grow by leaps and bounds. Not only did they sit together, but he was also thoughtful enough to keep putting food onto her plate. Throughout the dinner, one could hear Yuri saying constantly, “Thank you. I can help myself.”

Tara was also putting food into Brendan’s plate from time to time, but there was not much reaction from him. He was just sitting upright the whole time, staring across the table at Yuri and Christopher.
