Aiden lowered his head and looked at the wristwatch. Stanley’s testing results will be out soon.
He smiled calmly, “Dig in.”
His voice was neither high nor low, fast nor slow. The few of them looked at each other and no one knew what Aiden was thinking.
Was he interested in Isabel or not?
Elliot snapped his fingers and the waiters served the dishes.
It was a club owned by the Patel family and he was in charge of the club. The dishes were served swiftly. In just a while, five to six dishes were served.
Elliot attentively served a piece of fish for Isabel and placed it on a small plate in front of her. “Isabel, have some.”
Aiden didn’t say a word and used his chopsticks to gently nudge the plate towards Lara who was seated beside Isabel, “Elliot, you placed it on the wrong plate.”
The unspoken meaning was, he should look after Lara and not Isabel.
Lara realized that Elliot was very concerned about Aiden and looked in his direction several times.
The chilly feeling came over her, she didn’t like the cold attitude of Aiden. She preferred someone like Elliot who was warm and affectionate.
She didn’t want Elliot to look bad and Lara ate the piece of fish.
Elliot didn’t expect that his goodwill would be mistaken and only could look towards Isabel for her understanding.
Isabel looked at the new plate in front of her and in it was a sweet and sour pork rib. She likes this kind of sweet and sour taste. She picked it up and ate it. It tasted good.
That’s why her eyes looked towards the plate of ribs.
But Aiden placed a piece of fish in her plate, “Don’t be picky.”
Isabel felt that this word was familiar. When she was eating the fish, she finally remembered that was the way she taught Daniel and now it was Aiden who was teaching her.
Her face was slightly red and she wasn’t used to such occasions. It was Samuel and Isaac who were talking and laughing, livening up the atmosphere.
When she saw Elliot’s numerous looks for help, Isabel ate another piece of delicious pork rib and then said to Aiden, “Aiden, last night’s issue, Elliot was only joking with me. He had already apologized to me today. Why don’t you…”
Aiden heard her soft and gentle voice and his mood was starting to warm up. But he didn’t reply, as if he didn’t hear it at all.
Elliot sighed softly, he was almost driven mad by Aiden.
If given another chance, he swore that he will never touch Aiden’s woman.
The consequences were too severe.
“Aiden, forgive him.” After hearing the soft sigh, Isabel couldn’t stand it and pushed Aiden.
But she was nervous as she was afraid that Aiden won’t agree.
She had to try even if she was afraid, after all, she had accepted Elliot’s request.
Her “Aiden”, apart from Aiden, the other three men’s bodies were covered by goose pimples.
They looked decently at Aiden only to see him nonchalantly picking up a piece of chicken and eating it before saying, “This isn’t difficult, the plot of land south of the city, take it as my gift to Elliot and Lara as their engagement gift.”
Want to be calculative with him and Isabel, he will reciprocate properly with Elliot.
To teach Elliot what is meant by eating his own bitter fruit.
“Clunk”, Elliot’s chopsticks fell onto the table, and the sauce splashed onto his clothes. “Aiden, you must be joking.”
