A Wedding Night Gone Terribly Wrong novel Chapter 73

However.

Quentin quickly regained his composure.

He just needed to go home and tell Winifred to make more.

Giving her a chance to make money—she'd be thrilled.

So, Quentin calmly and confidently told Holden, "The pharmacy is out of stock of the spray. I'll rush to make more and have someone deliver them to you."

Holden nodded. "As soon as possible."

Iris's face no longer hurt, and her mood had improved.

She sat up and smiled, discussing plans with Holden.

"Holden, let's treat Dr. Adams and Dr. Hale to dinner tonight."

Quentin had helped them out. Treating him to dinner would be a good opportunity to recommend a collaboration with Nelly and have a good chat.

In two days, she had to go film Starstruck: Her Moment, so her schedule was tight.

Holden immediately extended the invitation to Quentin.

"Tonight, at the music restaurant in the Aqua Park. Let's have dinner together."

Quentin pushed his glasses up.

He knew that place.

It was very expensive.

The entrance fee to watch the performances was 500 per person, same price for adults and kids.

As for the food, a single dish of lobster thermidor cost 299. It was a premium dish—a huge plate with a tiny pile of meat in the center, gone after everyone took one bite.

If a grown man wanted to get full, ten plates wouldn't be enough.

Back in June, for Children's Day, Seth and Annelise had wanted to go.

Quentin hadn't agreed to it.

For the whole family to go and just have a simple meal would cost thousands. It wasn't worth the money.

He found another place. On Children's Day, he took the kids to play in the water at Flower Creek. It only cost 15 bucks to let them catch toy goldfish in a pool, and they were just as happy.

Quentin smiled politely. "Mr. Lockwood, that's too extravagant."

Holden looked earnest. "It's the least we can do."

When Shelly heard they were having dinner with Iris tonight, she immediately contacted Larissa Jordan during her lunch break.

Winifred was away from home for the entire weekend. Larissa and her sister finally had unrestricted access to their phones.

This morning, they had sneaked their phones into their backpacks and brought them to school.

Now, they were hiding in the school restroom, secretly chatting with Shelly.

[My boyfriend and I are having dinner with the Reality Show Goddess tonight. Do you want to come?]

Larissa was thrilled: [Yes!]

[Then you and your sister hurry up and finish your homework after school. When you're done, he'll drive over to pick you up.]

Larissa: [Uncle Quentin loves you! Love me, love my dog. You'll be Grandma's darling.]

[Haha~]

That was true.

So what if Winifred lived with the Adams family and stayed by Quentin's side every day? Unloved, no matter how much she gave, no one would appreciate it.

Whereas Shelly didn't have to do anything, and Quentin's family treated her like a treasure.

Meanwhile, Annelise was also trying to contact Quentin.

She had called five or six times, but Quentin hadn't picked up.

Winifred kept comforting her, saying Daddy was at work, he had changed out of his everyday clothes into a white coat, and left his phone in the breakroom, so he didn't know his baby was looking for him.

Annelise finished her lunch.

With her mom's permission, she called Quentin again.

During lunch break, Daddy would hear his phone ring and know his baby Annie was looking for him, right?

Sure enough.

Daddy answered the phone.

[Hello~] She was very polite: [Daddy, how are you?]

Quentin: [I'm doing great. What's up, Annie?]

[Oh~ Daddy.] Remembering the grievance she suffered at kindergarten that morning.
