Chapter 174 “Will it be just the three of you today?” the manager asked with a smile.
At that moment, Harriet suddenly recalled that there was another person joining them, so she quickly responded, “There will be four of us today.”

Instantly, Anastasia and Nigel exchanged looks with each other. Is there a mysterious guest? Who is it? Harriet, however, was busy chatting with the manager, so they didn’t interrupt the conversation.
All of a sudden, a waiter pushed open the door from the outside and a strapping, tall figure walked into the room. He had his suit jacket in his hand, and he was dressed in a white dress shirt paired with black trousers. In short, his attire was minimalistic yet full of elegance.
Anastasia’s beautiful eyes widened upon seeing the man, and she was quite stunned to find that he was here too.
The person who walked into the room was in fact Elliot-the man who had shamelessly mentioned he wanted to join the lunch date the night before.
At the same time, Nigel narrowed his almond-shaped eyes too. Why did Grandma invite him along? He’s just going to ruin everything!
“Elliot, how come you’re here too? Don’t you have any lunch conferences to attend?” Nigel lifted his brows and asked questioningly.
Elliot pulled out a chair and purposely took a seat next to Anastasia before he responded with a smile, “Well, I wasn’t invited to any lunch conferences, so I had no choice but to barge in and join your lunch date too.”
“Pfft! I’m sure there are plenty of people keen to give you a treat.” Nigel didn’t believe a single word that Elliot said. Furthermore, Nigel was quite sure that his cousin must have purposely turned up to mess things up.
Meanwhile, Harriet smiled upon seeing both of her grandsons in attendance. “Elliot mentioned to me last night that he didn’t have any lunch plans for today, so I invited him along.”
At that moment, Anastasia turned her head to glance at the man in question, and she noticed that his handsome face had stiffened slightly. Elliot clearly didn’t expect that Harriet would expose his lie.
In the end, he took his cup of tea into his hand and took a sip from it. At the same time, he peered across from the edge of his teacup, and his dark gaze went toward the woman next to him.
As for Anastasia, she purposely turned in the other direction as soon as she sensed his eyes on her.
