The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 671

"Finally, he smiled and explained, 'I was so focused on talking to you that I completely forgot to introduce him. I must have startled you, Dr. Hayes.'"

"Hello, Dr. Hayes." Grant Foster reached out his hand. Under the headlights, his eyes were bright and determined.

For some reason, I felt incredibly reassured. There was an undeniable sense of integrity about Grant Foster that made him instantly trustworthy.

I reached out to shake his hand, expressing my heartfelt gratitude. "Hello, Mr. Foster. We owe you a lot this time. Thank you for helping us."

"Like I said, since we share the same goal, we're comrades. Comrades are supposed to help each other out. There's no need to thank me." Grant shook my hand and nodded slightly.

I immediately asked, "You guys just got back, so you probably haven't eaten yet. Let me treat you to dinner tonight to welcome our heroes back."

Julian Zane's stomach grumbled at the perfect moment, and he let out a hearty laugh. "Sounds good! We won't hold back then. Let's go grab some food."

I had a great meal at The Cloud Pavilion last time, so I immediately texted Loretta to order ahead, and then took Julian and Grant there.

As soon as we entered the private dining room, Grant received a phone call. Seeing his serious expression, I figured it was a private matter, so I made an excuse to go to the restroom to give him some space.

However, when I came out of the restroom, I saw the red glow of a cigarette in the dark. Grant was standing outside smoking.

I was a little surprised and nodded at him. "Mr. Foster, finished with your call?"

"Yes, I was just updating my boss on my work." Seeing me, Grant quickly put out his cigarette but remained standing there.

He looked like he had something to say to me.

I stopped in my tracks and looked at him in confusion.
