Chapter 794
‘Addy? Can't believe I’d run into her herẽ"
Dillon suddenly hit the brakes and stopped his car right in front of Adina’s vehicle.He pushed open the car door to get out, then he walked toward the driver’s seat where Adina was and lightly tapped on her door.
Adina lowered the car window and coolly said "Mr.Jones, is something wrong?"
"Addy, where have you been these past three weeks, I’ve been trying to find you...."
Dillon’s speech was somewhat incoherent.
"What happened to your face? Did you get injured? Is it serious?"
His concern went beyond words, which made it hard for Adina to keep a stoic facade.
She softened her tone as she said "I went on trip overseas and only got back yesterday.Is there a reason why you were looking for me, Mr.Jones?"
"No, it’s nothing...."
Dillon sighed in relief.
"I was just a little worried for you.It’s good that you’re okay...."
When he finished speaking, he was not sure what to say next, yet he was reluctant to leave, so he just stood like an idiot in front of her car.
"Mr.Jones, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave.I still have to take my children to preschool," Adina said indifferently.
"I’ll come with you.."
Mr.Jones’ mouth was dry as he spoke.
"I happen to be free.Can I treat you all to dinner once you’re done with your errands?"
"Nope.."
Harold’s shaggy head popped up from the backseat.
"We already promised Daddy we’d be home to have dinner together.."
Alden seemed to have figured something out.
He casually said "Grandpa Dillon, Mommy just returned from overseas, so she’s a little busy now.If you want to take Mommy out for dinner, you’ll have to make an appointment at least a week in advance.."
Dillon did not seem to notice the rejection in Alden’s voice as he quickly said "Then I’ll make an appointment with you now to meet next week for dinner.Same time.Is that alright? He appeared tentative, as he feared he would be rejected, but he was also afraid that he was being too blatant, so he tried his best to restrain himself.Adina felt a little distressed by this.
She paused for a moment before she said "There’s no need to wait a week.We can have lunch this Saturday afternoon.."
