Chapter 20
Eliza almost spat out the juice in her mouth.
She lowered her voice. “Is she Demarion’s online friend?”
Eliza was already shocked enough to know that Demarion was making friends on the internet. Now, she was dumbfounded to see that the so-called friend was Esme.
“Don’t make a sound. Let’s just watch.”
Braint lowered his head and sent a message on his phone.
Over there, Esme sat down at the reserved table and took out a small mirror. While she was fixing her makeup, she also made phone calls to show off to her best friend.
“I’m at the restaurant now. Rodolfo said that he’ll be here soon.”
“I wonder why men like to fawn over me. We just talked for two days and he has already gifted me a ten karat diamond ring.”
“He also told me that he’ll announce our relationship to media outlets after meeting me today. Imagine that, I’ll be in the headlines and I’ll be the happiest woman in Krine!”
“Yes, rest assured. I will definitely invite you to our wedding. Rodolfo is so filthy rich…”
Esme’s voice was so loud the everyone in the restaurant could hear her conversation. She was obviously very proud of herself.
Eliza used the magazine to cover her face as she looked at Braint, who was sitting next to her. “What are you guys doing?” “Who is Rodolfo Ball?”
“What does she mean by the ten-karat diamond ring?”
Could it be possible that Rodolfo was Demarion himself?
“Mommy, just wait and see what is about to happen.”
Braint smiled and took a sip of his juice.
After a while, Demarion walked into the restaurant in a black suit.
He looked really handsome today. He walked over to Esme and asked, “Hello, miss. I’m sorry to intrude, are you Ms. Bubbles?”
After hanging up the phone, Esme glanced at the child, who wasn’t even half of her height. “Who are you?” O
“I’m Rodolfo Ball.”
Demarion blinked his eyes and smiled sweetly. “You told me that you didn’t mind if I’m younger than you, right?” Esme raised her eyebrows and looked at Demarion contemptuously, “I don’t have time to talk to you, kid. Go away!” Based on her conversation with Rodolfo online, he seemed to be a kind and mature man. How could he turn out to be a young child? That was just preposterous! “I’m not lying! I’m Rodolfo Ball!”
Demarion pursed his lips, took out his phone, and sent a message. At the same time, Esme’s mobile phone rang, which indicated a message.
Demarion shook the phone proudly and said, “That’s me!”
Esme was speechless.
She was looking forward to meeting Rodolfo. How could he turn out to be this brat?
Was she deceived by this child?
Esme was both frustrated and embarrassed at the same time. “You shouldn’t be on dating apps at such a young age!”
“How dare you lie to me! I’m sure you’ll grow up to become a criminal!”
“Stay away from me!”
As soon as Esme finished speaking, Demarion pouted and sat on the ground. He started sobbing uncontrollably.
“You’ve broken your promise!”
“I even stole the ten-karat ring for you! My father bought it as a gift for my mother!”
“How dare you go back against your words!”
“You told me that you would take good care of me after receiving my gift!”
“I’m so young, how dare you lie to me!”
“Boohoo!”
Everyone in the restaurant shifted their attention to Demarion once he started crying.
Who would’ve known that Rodolfo, the kind gentleman whom she’d been talking to, to turn out to be a young child? Rodolfo was a rich man with an enormous fortune. Based on all the pictures he sent to her, he was a handsome man who was living in a mansion! Esme thought that she was in luck this time. That was why she promised to meet him in person after they got to know each other for only one day.
“Give me back my ring!” “And the money I transferred to you online! You have to give it back to me!”
While she was speaking, she kicked Demarion away.
