"Edward, why does it seem like I'm in the tiger's lair right now? Are you going to sell me here?" Leena wrinkled her nose, looking playful and lovely.
"Yes, I had this idea earlier. Since you bring it up, I'll reconsider it now. I wonder if someone will offer a good price. I don't want to make a loss in doing business." Edward lifted the fragrant tea that the waiter had just served and took a sip, looking contemplative.
"Never mind, forget it. I'm not angry. I really don't care about it. I'll go along with it as if I'm doing it for charity. I won't die for the sake of entertaining someone else anyway." Leena fiercely ate the snacks in front of her and bit them hard. She looked as if she were biting Edward's head instead of the snacks.
Edward smiled gracefully at Leena's actions. There was deep fondness on his face. He occasionally glanced at the direction of the entrance with a carefree look on his face.
Time passed by as they teased each other and enjoyed their delicious meal. They didn't look like they were waiting for someone. Instead, their intimate behavior made them look more like a couple in love. They caught the woman's attention as soon as she entered. Her eyes brightened at the sight. Then she grinned wickedly.
"Oh! Isn't it Mr. Mu? Wow! You have a different woman with you today. It wasn't long ago that you showed your love for Daisy in public. Things change so quickly. The true nature of men never changes." Yakira smirked. But as soon as she noticed the necklace, her smile froze and her face became pale.
"Edward, it's you! What a coincidence to see you here! Where have you been lately? I haven't seen you around. I missed you so much!" Mary greeted with a flushed face. She didn't expect to see Edward here. The pleasant surprise excited her a lot. As soon as Mary finished talking, Leena couldn't hold back the urge to laugh and spit out the water she just drank.
"Oh! Please excuse my rudeness. You may continue." Leena's beautiful face turned red from choking on her drink. She was shocked by Mary's pretentious remarks and affected voice. She missed Edward? Who did she think she was? Had she looked in the mirror lately? Leena didn't find anything wrong with being a little pretentious and acting lovely. But this woman was too old to do that, and it was disgusting. No wonder Edward told her to eat something beforehand. It turned out he was right. How could Edward stomach such a disgusting woman? Wasn't he worried that he would throw up what he just ate?
"Be careful and drink slowly. Nobody is going to take away your drink." Edward ignored the newcomers and anxiously rubbed Leena's back with concern.
"I know nobody will take it away. I just found something amusing, that's all." Leena took a sip of water and recovered from the small accident. She was taken aback by Mary's stunning remarks and choked on her drink. What an unlucky day.
"Do you mind us sitting here?" Although Yakira was reluctant to sit with them at the same table, she was curious why the necklace would appear on Leena's neck. She clearly remembered giving it to Paul. Was it just a coincidence or was it possible that there was another similar necklace in existence?
