Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 266

Although this particular restaurant was considered a luxurious place in Jincheng, it was still not good enough.

Judging by Joseph Garrett’s appearance, he did not seem like the type of person to dine at such a place. There could only be two reasons for his presence here. Either he was pressed for time, or there was some special reason which attracted him to this place.

Nell was curious, but she did not know Joseph that well, so she did not ask him.

Both of them stepped inside the restaurant. It was filled with the chatter of customers and the clinking of tableware and cutlery.

She was not sure whether she was imagining things, but she had the feeling that Joseph often cast a strange look on her.

A mere acquaintance did not commonly display this type of hospitality.

Nell’s suspicions began to grow. She asked him, “So, Mr. Garrett, what brings you to Jiangcheng?”

Joseph responded, “I’m looking for someone.”

“Oh? May I ask who you are looking for?”

Joseph paused and smiled. “An old friend’s child.”

He stopped elaborating when he said that. Nell noticed his reluctance in explaining further and kept her questions to herself.

So, she simply gave him a smile.

The food was served. As a local of Jincheng, Nell introduced the dishes, “This sweet and sour pork is pretty famous here. I wonder how it tastes like in the capital. Do try it, Mr. Garrett.”

Joseph regarded the plate of sweet and sour pork and froze. He became somewhat disoriented.

Nell saw his reaction and asked him carefully, “Are you alright, Mr. Garrett?”

Joseph came to his senses and forced out a smile. “I’m fine.”

Annie’s favorite dish was also sweet and sour pork.

If only she were here…

Sigh!

Nell also questioned whether she was seeing things, but she often found Mr. Garrett to be depressed.

Then, she remembered that he was here to find someone. He might not have found that person, or his sadness was due to some other reason.

Still, it was their second time meeting each other and a chance encounter, so it would be inappropriate of her to ask him. Thus, she remained silent.

After they had finished eating, it was about time and Joseph had to board the plane at the airport. He did not drive, so he hitched a ride with Nell.

On the way, they chit-chatted. Nell was tactful and did not ask about his identity.

Anyway, his identity had nothing to do with her. She just happened to make a new friend.

At the airport, Nell sent a message to Gideon, informing him about her arrival.

Joseph’s flight was at 1:50 pm and there was half an hour left.

Nell had no idea whether what he said was true, that he did not want a young lady like her to wait for someone on her own, or whether he just wanted to continue talking to her, but Joseph kept accompanying her and refused to board the plane.

Seeing that he was keeping her company, Nell did not wish to reject him either.

Some time passed before Gideon showed up.

The man donned a black suit and he had a dark grey coat around his shoulders. As always, he was dashing, dominant and charming!

A wide grin formed on Nell’s face as she ran towards him.

“Nelly!”

Gideon never stopped smiling the moment he laid eyes on her. He took her into his arms and gave her a tight embrace.

“Miss me?”

Nell’s heart beat rapidly.

Her face was buried into his chest and she could feel the vigorous beating of his heart as well.

All of a sudden, she was hit with a wave of emotions and tears began to form in her eyes.

She no longer cared about everyone else and locked her arms around his waist and nodded.

The man was bursting with happiness and contentment. He cupped her face and gave her a passionate kiss.
