The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 79

"What wedding date? Don't make fun of me. I'm already busy enough. Fortunately, the bidding is going to start soon, so I'll be able to use it as an excuse to stall off my mother."

Baron felt helpless as he said it.

He wasn't expecting his mother to be so determined this time. He even considered going out and distancing himself from it all for a while, but avoiding the problem wouldn't solve it for him. Not to mention that Nicole was still there.

At least she was already past what happened at the party, which put his mind a little at ease.

"Ok, don't be so picky about girls. I think Miss Chen's a nice girl. She's kind and generous, and a good match for you."

Nicole looked down at her watch and suddenly remembered she had an appointment with Avery Lin that day. She then turned anxiously to Baron.

"Holy crap! Baron, take me to that restaurant we often go. I've completely forgotten I had an appointment today."

Noticing how restless she was, Baron nodded as he turned the steering wheel and picked the road towards the restaurant.

"Who is it?"

Baron wasn't used to seeing Nicole anxious about anything. As far as he could tell, she would only get apprehensive within matters which regarded Jay.

"You should come with us. We haven't seen each other for seven years, but she's my best friend. She's the daughter of the Lin Group's CEO and quite a beautiful woman. Her name's Avery Lin. I think you'll like her."

Nicole's eyes lit up with hope. If Baron wasn't interested in Maggie, he could be in Avery. Who knew if they weren't each other's fate?

Baron shrugged in response.

"How beautiful? As much as you are?"

Baron had come across with many beautiful women, but no one compared to Nicole. He would never forget the moment he first saw her.

"She's more beautiful than I am, actually."

Growing up with Avery, Nicole knew her well.

Baron parked the car in front of the restaurant and handed the key to the valet at the door. Next, he followed Nicole inside.

The first thing Baron's eyes met when he stepped into the restaurant was a girl in red, quietly settled at a seat by the window. He just never expected that Nicole would walk straight to her.

"Honey, forgive me, I'm late."

Approaching Avery, Nicole opened her arms and pulled her friend into a tight embrace.

Avery's red dress not only fit her curves to perfection but also highlighted her unusual white skin. Yet it was the bright smile on her delicate face as she hugged Nicole tightly, which was astonishing.

As she grinned, a tiny dimple showed on the corner of her mouth.
