Chapter 436 Do Not Judge A Book By Its Cover
“Oscar, let’s head back,” suggested Amelia.
Looking at his watch, Oscar replied, “Wait for a while. James is arriving at eleven o’clock.”
At that moment, Eva stepped in front of him, scrutinized him from head to toe, and commented, “Oscar, you’re seriously handsome. What a fine and capable man. You’re a match made in heaven with Amelia.”
Upon hearing that, Oscar suddenly felt that her hippie style was not that irritating anymore.
“Eva, you have a good eye,” he complimented while curling his lips upward into a smile.
Eva flung her yellow bushy hair and placed her hands on her hips. “Handsome Oscar, can we leave now? I’m hungry.”
“A friend of mine from abroad will arrive in half an hour,” explained Oscar with patience.
Nodding, Eva waited patiently.
When James came out of the airport, he first gave Oscar a big hug. As he wanted to greet Amelia, a yellow-haired girl abruptly rushed in front of him. Looking at the unfamiliar girl, he jumped in shock and asked, “Who are you?”
Eva stared at James, who looked like a prince charming, in admiration and greeted in broken Erihalese, “H-Hello, my name is Eva Winters. Handsome, d-do you have a girlfriend?”
James could hardly make out what she was saying. Listening to her Chanaean-style Erihalese, he almost burst out in laughter.
“Hi, I can speak Chanaean. You can speak Chanaean to me,” he responded awkwardly and looked at Amelia subconsciously as if asking who the girl was.
Amelia’s brows drew close to a frown as Eva’s sudden action had caught her off guard.
She tugged at Eva’s shirt and said embarrassedly, “James, this is my cousin. Her name is Eva Winters. She’s a bit unpredictable, but don’t be frightened by her. In fact, she’s very lively and cheerful.”
The next moment, James stretched out his hand to Eva and said gentlemanly, “I see. My name is James Baylor. I’m Oscar’s best friend. I met him when we were studying abroad together.”
Immediately, Eva grabbed the man’s hand with both hands and smiled like a lovestruck woman. “James. It’s a good name. I like it. Do you have a girlfriend? If not, I’m going to pursue you, so you’d better be prepared for it.”
Her words caught Amelia, Oscar, and James by surprise.
James flashed her an awkward smile and stated, “Y-You’re pretty good, but I prefer busty and sexy women. You’re not my type. I think we’re more suitable to be friends.” Subsequently, he took a step back and glanced at Amelia for help.
Tugging Eva’s shirt, Amelia stopped Eva. “Eva, stop fooling around. Let’s go back first. I’ve asked Molly to prepare a feast of delicious food for you. Dad told me that you like sweet food, so I requested Molly to prepare honey BBQ pork ribs. I think you’ll like it.”
Eva widened her eyes and inquired excitedly, “Really? Let’s go back now.”
Once again, Amelia was at a loss for words. Her cousin was indeed a spur-of-the-moment type of person.
Sitting in the car, Eva could not help but initiate a conversation with James. “James, I’m actually pretty busty. It’s just not obvious because I’m wearing clothes. If I take off my clothes, it’ll definitely cause nosebleeds in men. Look at Amelia. Isn’t she beautiful? After I remove my makeup, you’ll see that I actually look similar to her. I have a great figure too. If you become my boyfriend, I won’t let you down in bed.”
Instantly, Amelia’s expression darkened while James and Oscar could not help clearing their throats.
After all, it was not a good thing to discuss a woman’s figure in front of men.
“Eva, stop messing around. You have just met James for the first time today. You’re going to scare him off,” reminded Amelia.
Nevertheless, Eva was not bothered about it. “Amelia, you don’t understand. It’s love at first sight. When I meet someone I like, I must take action immediately. Or else, I’ll regret it if someone else snatches him away from me.”
Amelia was rendered speechless by her reply.
After a while, Eva added proudly, “Amelia, as a millennial, I should move forward fearlessly. No matter it’s for work or love.” Then, she fixated her gaze on James and praised, “James, you’re so handsome. A different type of handsome from Oscar. Amelia is so lucky to be surrounded by so many handsome guys.”
