Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection (PDF) novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235 Were You and Him Deeply in Love? 

The voice of the waiter came to my ear, “Mr. Monroe, your guest has arrived.” 

After speaking, the waiter left upon receiving a nod from Daniel. 

Seeing me standing still, Daniel gave a faint smile, “Ms. Conner, please sit down.” 

I nodded, belatedly finding my voice, “Okay, thank you.” 

Sitting across from Daniel, I was still somewhat dazed. The man in front of me was excessively handsome, like a finely sculpted object. 

Modeling face, yes, that’s the perfect description with these three words. It was just too perfect. 

The nose, mouth, eyes, and even the face shape, were all beyond reproach. 

Didn’t Sebastian say his face was injured in a car accident? How 

come… 

I couldn’t help but look at his face. Upon closer inspection, there were indeed traces of scars, but they were faint, almost indistinguishable. 

“Ms. Conner?” The person in front of me slightly pulled up his thin lips, his attractive eyes fixed on me, his face full of confusion, “Did I scare you like this?” 

I quickly shook my head, taking a deep breath, “No, it’s just the first time meeting you like this, it’s a.bit…unusual.” 

He suddenly burst into laughter, helplessly saying, “I’m really sorry. Last time, because my wound hadn’t healed properly, I had no choice bút to use the screen, which made you uncomfortable. I apologize.” 

I shook my head, wanting to say something, but I couldn’t think of anything at the moment. I couldn’t help but doubt, wondering if I was now blinded by lust. 

“Buzz…” My phone vibrated, pulling me back from my thoughts. I glanced down, it was a message from Walter, “I’m waiting for you downstairs.” 

Upon seeing the message, I furrowed my brows, casting a sidelong glance out the window. Sure enough, I saw Walter’s black Bugatti. 

Perhaps noticing my gaze, Daniel followed it and naturally saw Walter’s car. Seeing this, he raised an eyebrow, his voice betraying no emotion as he asked, “Your friend? Or?” 

I nodded, opening my mouth to say, “My husband…” But as soon as the words left my mouth, I felt the answer was truly redundant. Walter and I had been divorced for a long time. What kind of husband was 

he? 

I wanted to explain, but I was afraid that Daniel might misunderstand my intentions. So, I simply changed the subject and looked at him, “Mr. Monroe, was it true what you told me on the phone this morning? Are you really planning to collaborate with the Conner Group to secure the development project in the southern district?” 

Daniel nodded, a faint smile in his handsome eyes, “Yes, if possible, I hope Ms. Conner can arrange for us to sign the contract as soon as possible. I will also arrange for my company’s staff to liaise with your company to start the project as soon as possible.” 

He didn’t even have any extra words, he just brought up the matter of 

signing the contract. 

I was naturally pleased, but after some thought, I couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Mr. Monroe, may I ask you a question? Why did you choose to cooperate with the Conner Group? After all… there are many capable and powerful companies in River City, and the Conner Group, having gone through several twists and turns, doesn’t seem to have much advantage in the eyes of outsiders.” 

He looked at me, his eyes still carrying a faint smile, “You said it yourself, outsiders see no advantage in the Conner Group, but I’m not an outsider.” 

Huh? 

I looked at him, a bit slow to react. 

He laughed, his lips curling into a smile as he said, “You’re Xiao Fang’s friend, so naturally, you’re my friend too.” 

Uh, alright then. 

I chuckled, it seemed that only this explanation was somewhat reasonable.
