"My mom called me several days ago and mentioned that you would be visiting Anchester these days. She asked me to take good care of you."
"Auntie is really considerate. So, what are you planning to treat me to for lunch today?"
Jane Quinlan rolled her eyes: "I’m your sister. Are you really making me treat you?"
"Mom said that you’ve found yourself a rich boyfriend.
How come you’re not bringing him out to treat your brother to a meal?
By the way, I can also evaluate if your boyfriend is reliable or not."
Unlike her aunt, her cousin brother was very enthusiastic and loved to joke around.
Jane Quinlan laughed wordlessly: "Alright, stop teasing me. He’s busy. Just tell me what you want to eat for lunch today, and I’ll accompany you."
"Then you check WeChat later, I’ll send you a message."
"Okay," she hung up the phone, stretched lazily, and then snuggled back into the blankets.
Actually, the purpose of stretching was to get out of bed, but after stretching, she realized that she was truly in love with her bed.
She dozed off again and by the time she opened her eyes, it was already half-past nine.
In WeChat, Benjamin Quinlan had already sent her the address for the meeting.
She got out of bed, stretched her arms, and walked to the living room to open the curtains.
Standing on the balcony stretching and twisting her body, her gaze landed on the neighboring balcony where Kay Forrest was sitting in a sun lounger with his feet propped up on a glass coffee table, reading a book.
Yes, he was reading a book, incredibly hard to believe.
The sunlight bathed him, and looking through the two layers of glass, she thought he looked really handsome at that moment.
Yesterday, when he helped her with the housework, she noticed a lot of books on the bookshelf in his room.
At the time, she thought they were just for show.
Now she realized that he truly was reading.
Sometimes, a man who knows how to read is really handsome.
She lifted her brows slightly, chuckled, and turned to wash up. Afterward, she went into the kitchen to prepare his lunch and then changed clothes before leaving the house.
She arrived at his door and knocked, but Kay Forrest was too lazy to open, not moving for quite some time.
Jane Quinlan felt annoyed, just having thought he was handsome...
She pouted, entered the password, went inside, and headed straight for the balcony.
He was lying in the rocking chair, his head tilted towards her slightly: "Tsk, aren’t you afraid that I’m naked right now?"
She pointed towards the right side of the balcony: "I just saw you from that side, okay?"
"So you were peeping at me?" He grinned: "Forget it, there are plenty of women coveting me anyway, it doesn’t make much difference with you. Let yourself have a peek, what’s the harm."
Jane Quinlan sighed, rendered speechless, "I’ve prepared lunch for you, it’s on the table. I’m meeting my brother this afternoon, so I won’t be eating with you."
"Your cousin brother is back?"
Jane Quinlan shrugged as if to confirm.
"So, you plan to go have a meal just with your cousin brother, leaving me out?" he placed the book on his lap: "Do you think that’s appropriate?"
Jane Quinlan was speechless: "Was I bought by you? Do I need to take you wherever I go... cut it out, I’m leaving. Eat earlier, or the food will get cold."
"Hey, where are you going to eat?"
"Lotus Pavilion Restaurant on Minqing Road."
Seeing her leave, Kay Forrest didn’t go out to see her off and continued reading.
At noon, wearing pajamas and holding the spare key, he swung by her place, and upon entering, he found her keys lying on the shoe rack by the door.
He raised an eyebrow, this forgetful woman...
Jane Quinlan arrived at Lotus Pavilion Restaurant, and the waiter led her into the private room Benjamin Quinlan had booked.
As she pushed the door open, the initially smiling Jane Quinlan was stunned to see the two people inside.
This Benjamin Quinlan, how could he not give a heads-up before bringing Xavier along.
