Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 649

Mother Katz’s mind was finally at rest.

For dinner that night, the trio went to a nearby high-end restaurant that was famous for homemade cuisine.

Lucy and Mother Katz tacitly avoided mentioning about them running into Natalie in the coffee shop that afternoon.

The way they saw it, the issue was a complicated one.

Not only would Joel be put in a dilemma, but no benefit would come out of it either if they were to tell him.

Hence, it was better not to bring it up at all.

After all, their conscience was clear, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

They had nothing to be ashamed of.

As for Natalie, it would be best if her attitude would change for the better as time went.

It was not as though anything could be done if she insisted to be hostile towards Lucy.

There was only so much one could take after given the cold shoulder despite showing their good intention.

Anyway, there was no telling whether their relationship could be mended.

Lucy was not one to ingratiate herself with others.

Thus, they believed that it was unnecessary to raise the subject.

Yet to their surprise, someone else came forth even with them holding their tongue.

Joel’s phone buzzed during dinner.

He picked it up for a look. It was a text message from Natalie.

Joel had saved Natalie’s contact as “Mother Superior”.

A message from Mother Superior popped onto the screen. Although the text was short, the tone was not the least bit amiable.

“Are you with that woman now?”

Joel read the line and frowned.

He raised his head to take a glance at Lucy and Mother Katz. The two of them were engaged in giggles and conversations while having their dinner.

As they talked about an interesting event in the past, they did not take notice of him.

Joel swiftly replied to Natalie.

“What’s the matter?”

Natalie quickly sent a reply.

“I bumped into her and her mother in a coffee shop today. What? Isn’t it enough that you’re lavishing money on her that now you’re taking responsibility for her mother as well? They must think you’re an idiot or take you for a fool and that your money is easy to come by.”

Joel made a sour face.

Perhaps it was due to the turn of his mood as his presence ensued with a change as well.

Suddenly, Lucy felt there was something going on with the person beside her.

She turned around and saw him fixated on his phone with a sullen look on his face. His fingers were tapping furiously on the screen.

Raising a brow, she asked out of curiosity, “What are you doing?”

Without a word, Joel waited until he was done with the message before lifting his chin to gaze at her.

The maliciousness in his eyes softened in the blink of an eye.

Putting away his phone as though nothing had happened, Joel let out a smile.

“Nothing.”

Lucy frowned.

She knew Joel too well to know that the sudden change of mood was not all in her head.

What happened?

Nevertheless, she was not going to pursue the matter if Joel refused to speak in front of her mother.

There might not seem to be structure in whatever he did but in fact, he had his way of doing things.

She trusted him.

Without probing further, Lucy helped him to the food.

“You should be eating during dinner instead of playing with your phone. Come try this dish.”

Joel picked up his chopsticks obediently and ate it.
