Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 741

Minerva asked that as she could think of no other explanation. It never once crossed her mind that the Cunninghams would know someone as prestigious as the boss of the restaurant. From her perspective, only people like her family who had lived abroad should know someone like that.

After some thought, Jonah was still at a loss as to who might have paid the bill. Nonetheless, he chuckled. “I suppose that’s the case. Although it has been a few years since I last returned to Cathay, I do have a few business partners here. Perhaps they offered to buy me a meal after catching wind of my return. Waiter, I would like to have a chat with your boss.”

The waiter smiled. “Ladies and gentlemen, our boss has yet to arrive. She gave us a call to have us prepare the wine for you. She will be here in a minute, and she should drop by after a moment.”

There was a complacent look on Jonah’s face. “Excellent! Come, let us continue with our feast. My friend will be here in a moment, and I’ll introduce you all then.”

Despite having gotten a scolding from Chloe, Jonah laughed. “I can’t just avoid them, since they’re all old acquaintances of mine. Since they found out about our return, we have to give them face. After all, we will need their help while doing business here. Helen and you will have plenty of time to yourselves later on, so there’s no rush to it.”

After that, Chloe nodded apologetically. “I’m sorry, Helen. I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep you company in the next few days.”

The Cunninghams were still in awe of what had just transpired, for they had believed that it was Jonah’s friend who had paid for their expenses. In response, Helen gave them an awkward smile. “Chloe, we agreed that my family would buy you dinner tonight. This is just embarrassing.”
