My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298 Carrying the Team

She didn't know Wanda too well and didn't hold anything against her. She didn't even dislike her.

But she was Selena's cousin. With Selena setting her sights on Archie constantly, wasn't she just asking for it inviting her cousin to come eat with them?

Thankfully, Wanda looked like a bright girl, and she'd probably not take the offer, right?

Wanda's eyes lit up and she took the offer.

"All right, thanks, I'll come."

"..."

She led Wanda awkwardly into their compartment.

Seeing her, everyone was caught off-guard.

But Max and Stephen and the others were all people persons, and besides, they didn't have too much of an opinion on Selena herself.

Wanda might have been a Kawn and Selena's cousin.

But in reality, Wanda's father was about as branched in the branch family as you could get. He was in Eqitin as well, but only handled small business. It was no comparison to direct Kawn family members at all.

In a situation like this, Wanda wasn't involved in the family power struggle like Selena.

So they didn't have anything against her. Besides, she was kind, pretty, and even seemed cute as they interacted, so she fit in just fine.

Louis was the last person here. Because something had happened at the hospital, he'd needed to deal with it. With his occupation, nobody minded.

Seeing him come in, Natalia hurriedly called for an additional set of utensils. Louis was wearing a camel coat and a scarf, looking particularly like a mild-mannered intellectual today.

Wanda had been digging in, and the barbeque was to her taste, so she'd eaten with a bit wolfishness.

The moment she stuffed a chunk of meat into her mouth, she saw him walk in and her eyes widened as she blushed. The meat got stuck in her throat and wouldn't go either way, so she started coughing loudly.

Louis had obviously seen her as well. He blinked and blurted, "What are you doing here, Wanda?"

Wanda took a drink of water to wash the meat down, berating herself over having him see her in such a state.

Then she stood and greeted him with an embarrassed smile.

"Hi, sir."

Everyone was taken aback.

"Sir? You know each other?"

Louis chuckled and explained, "Oh, it's nothing. I've got a lab of my own now, right? She came for an interview a while ago and she's my assistant now."

That explained things.

Wanda was a medical student. Everyone knew that, but they didn't think it'd be this much of a coincidence.

With that connection to Louis, everyone drew even closer with Wanda.

A server came by to set a chair down for Louis and the atmosphere resumed. Everyone chatted and laughed as they ate, while Wanda buried herself into her meal, her face bright red. She didn't even dare raise her head.

After the meal, Max started whining that he wanted to play a game.

He was a game nut, and everyone was free, so they agreed.

A group of them crowded around the sofa and took out their phones.

Charlie didn't play this game, so he didn't partake, but Victoria did.

So Victoria, Natalia, Laura, Max and Louis formed a team.

Archie sat next to Natalia and acted as her strategist. Worried that everyone would end up playing too late into the night, she had Brian send Anne back first.
