Chapter 1642
When admiring someone, all of that person’s shortcomings would turn into strong points. On the other hand, hating someone would cause even that person’s strengths to turn into flaws.
“Good evening, Ms. Stone.”
Andrew returned Elisa’s greeting with a smile.
He looked behind Elisa.
There was no sign of Mrs. Stone.
It was Mrs. Stone who had invited him over for a meal. He thought she would be present.
Mrs. Stone was being too polite. He stopped his car to ask her what had happened simply because he saw her sitting on the floor. He also drove her home afterward. It was a slight effort. and no big deal to him.
However, she treated Andrew like her life savior. Her excessive enthusiasm and gratitude made him feel pressured.
Elisa had also called him countless times to treat him to a meal and repay his kindness.
He refused all of them politely.
However, Mrs. Stone invited him repeatedly that day. Andrew only agreed to the dinner to regain his peace and quiet. He thought Mrs. Stone would not bother him anymore after having one meal together and letting her feel like she had repaid his kindness.
“My mom is waiting for you in a private room, Mr. Reading,” Elisa explained.
Andrew let out a breath of relief.
It was fine as long as he was not having a meal with Elisa alone.
Although he thought Elisa had changed a lot, he did not want to eat with her alone. He feared the paparazzi would take pictures and create a scandal that would become a trending topic.
His identity in Wiltspoon was overly sensitive.
As the nephew of the York family’s head missus and Zachary’s cousin, his scandal would easily top the trending charts.
The Readings kept an extremely low profile. He did not wish to become the first Reading to be a trending headline.
“After you, Mr. Reading.”
