Chapter 729
It was a rainy day the next day.
The cold autumn breeze blew against the car’s windows as the raindrops rolled down the foggy windows, blurring the scene outside of the car.
The car was parked outside the hospital entrance, and Maisie got out of the car with an umbrella and opened it up. “Uncle Kennedy.”
“Sorry to have to trouble you to come to pick me up even on a rainy day.” Kennedy took the umbrella in Maisie’s hand.
“This is no big deal.” Maisie looked down at her watch. “I’ve already reserved a private room in a restaurant in advance on your behalf, and Aunty Samantha should have arrived at the restaurant.”
Kennedy nodded and got into the car with her and the umbrella.
When they reached the restaurant, the waiter led them to the private room and opened the door for them. Samantha was already sitting there waiting for them.
Maisie stepped forward. “Aunty Samantha, sorry that we’ve kept you waiting for such a long time.”
Samantha stood up slowly and replied with a smile, “The road is slippery on a rainy day, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
Maisie waited for Samantha to sit down with Kennedy, then chose to sit beside Samantha.
“Uncle Kennedy, you’re the one who’s going to pay for the meal today. Shouldn’t you ask Aunty Samantha what she wants to eat?” Kennedy turned his head and looked at Samantha while the latter smiled. “I’m not that picky when it comes to food. I’m fine with anything.”
Maisie handed the menu to Kennedy, who looked back at her. “Zee, why don’t you order for the three of us this time around? I’m not very familiar with what they have to offer here, and I don’t know what’s delicious and what’s not.”
Maisie grabbed the menu into her hand. “Alright then, it would be my pleasure.”
She summoned the waiter and ordered some of the chef’s signature platters. After confirming her orders, she then closed the menu and said, “I would like a bottle of red wine too.” “Okay, please give us a minute to get everything prepared.” The waiter walked out with the menu.
Samantha looked at her. “Ms. Vanderbilt, I’ve always wanted to ask, how did you and Francisco get to know each other?”
Maisie smiled. “We met in the training camp three years ago.”
Samantha nodded in a daze.
Kennedy arranged the tableware and silverware that were laid on the table. “She doesn’t only know the second young heir of the Bouchers, but the eldest young heir of the Bouchers too.”
