Chapter 118
After a moment’s thought, he dnderstood the situation. Turning back to me, who was about to cry, he said, “Destiny.”
I nodded numbly.“Yeah, destiny
How could it not be destiny? After going around in circles, he had found me again.
The door opened. Jason strode towards me, sitting beside me, his gaze moving from my face to my hands.
He suddenly smiled, holding my hand and pulling the noodles closer to him, picking up a chopstick and taking a bite. “You were so hungry that couldn’t stand it and came here to eat noodles. Why didn’t you tell me?”
I forced a smile.
Jason looked at Xander.”You keep circling around my partner. You know she has a partner, right?”
The noodle shop owner and another customer couldn’t help but look over. So many handsome werewolves showing up in the middle of the night to perform a passionate adultery drama?
Summer couldn’t stand it anymore.”Jason, don’t act like a mad dog. Mr. Shaw kindly saved her.”
Jason looked at her sideways. “Didn’t you say in your message that if he wasn’t interested in you, you’d do a handstand and eat shit? What? You want to eat now?”
Summer was speechless.
I was stunned.
We never imagined that our chat messages would reach Xander’s ears this way.
The atmosphere was thick, like the noodles swelling in the broth.
After a while, Xander smiled softly, calm and composed, giving the impression that whatever he did, he had a reason.
In his pleasant voice, he said slowly, “Whether or not I’m interested in Secretary Wells is my personal matter and has nothing to do with her. If my actions have offended Mr. Winter, I can only say I’m sorry to her. However, even if you are still her legal partner, doing things against her will is very uncouth.”
I held my breath, my heart pounding.
Summer mindlinked me: This is the first time someone has said “Even if I like your partner, you can’t do anything to me; I’ll just neddle in your business” so elegantly. Wow, this man is so captivating! His appearance and personality are both heavenly! ason was so blocked by his words that his anger couldn’t vent; he clenched his fists. If looks could kill, Xarlder would already be
ninced meat.
Waiter,” Xander called.
The noodle shop owner’s partner pushed past the owner and came forward. “Handsome, do you need anything else?”
Kander: “We were chatting, and the noodles got cold. Take them away and bring four more bowls.” He glanced at Summer. “Extra beef for this lady.”
Summer was mesmerized.
The owner’s partner said with a smile, “Okay, okay.”
A while later, four more bowls of noodles arrived.
Jason was too angry to eat. I ate half a bowl with a troubled heart. Summer kept stealing glances at the next table, only eating the meat, not the noodles.
Only Xander calmly finished his noodles, then took a tissue to wipe his mouth. “You’re wasting food.”
