Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 327

Even though it had been nearly 30 years since they'd last seen each other, the man standing before Wanda hadn't changed much.

He was older now, with wrinkles lining his face, but he still carried himself with the same air of elegance and had traces of the youthful handsomeness he once had.

He was the eldest son of the Locke family—he was Theodore.

Wanda had lived with Natalie at the Locke Residence for many years before leaving for university and eventually moving to Halewick.

Theodore looked closely at Wanda, his gaze sharpening in recognition.

The expression on both their faces made Vespera and Vernon feel… suspicious.

"You're Mrs. Hall's daughter… Wilma?"

Theodore finally pulled the memory from the depths of his mind, picturing a young, innocent face from long ago.

Inside, he was deeply shocked.

Wanda's heart raced wildly.

She had never imagined that after all these years, she would run into him again, and in a place like this, in such a way.

But since it had already happened, she forced herself to stay calm. She smiled and said, "Mr. Theodore, I'm not Wilma. My name is Wanda."

"Ah, right, Wanda. I mixed it up," Theodore apologized warmly. "It's been so many years. How's Mr.s Hall doing?"

"She's doing well," Wanda answered with a composed smile.

Theodore's gaze shifted back to Vespera. "Mr. Gildon—is she your daughter?"

Wanda kept herself steady. "Yes, she's my daughter."

Vespera caught the slight unnaturalness in Wanda's expression, and suddenly recalled Theodore's odd behavior at the restaurant that day…

She quietly pressed her lips together and glanced over at Vernon.

Vernon's face didn't show much of a reaction.

"Your daughter is very beautiful," Theodore said again, a sharp glint flashing briefly in his eyes.

"Thank you for the compliment," Wanda replied, smiling politely.

At that moment, Vernon spoke politely. "Mr. Locke, we still have some shopping to do, so we'll take our leave. Goodbye."

Since her husband had said so, Theodore couldn't very well insist on continuing the conversation.
