Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 624

“What did you say?” I was clearly puzzled at his words. With a quizzical look, I asked further, “If so, why did you say that to my mother?”

I still couldn’t find a valid reason to befriend Tobey, even after he disclosed that to me. Things were different from the time I first met Lucas, though. Although Mom had a role to play in my relationship with Lucas, I knew right away that Lucas would be a great friend. It turned out that my intuition was not wrong.

“How about we eat something first? I haven’t had anything yet. Moreover, you’re my guest, so let me have the opportunity to welcome you.” Tobey ignored my question and swiftly gestured me back to the dining table.

I hesitated for a moment before heading to the dining table, as I wanted to know what tricks Tobey had up his sleeves. I took a small bite of the food while waiting for Tobey to say something. Shifting my attention to him, I noticed his inelegant table manners.

“I have poor etiquette, don’t I?” He wiped his mouth. Hearing his confession, I became less irritated for some unknown reason.

“Well, I prefer it that way. At least it’s real. I hate pretentious people.”

“I understand. You’re indeed a genuine and straightforward person who wouldn’t tolerate any fakeness. Me too, actually. Hence, I think both of us should be honest with each other.”

Tobey smiled gently, and I started to see him in a more positive light.

“The Osborn family is not considered a prestigious family. We only managed to make a fortune in recent years and because of that, my family earned a little respect in Dellmoor. However, I was not fed with a silver spoon since young, and I don’t wish to erase the old me just because my life has changed. Anyway, I actually have someone in my heart but she’s merely a kindergarten teacher from an ordinary family. I know she’s the one for me when she offered me tremendous help back when my family was nearly bankrupt. She even went to great lengths to lend me her savings.”
