“In truth, I prefer being a lawyer, but I wanted to bring honor to the Lyons family back then.” Shaun laughed. “After all that we’ve been through, my mom is now handling Lyons Corporation so well.
Lucas can take over the company when he grows up. Since my wife is competent, I want to be a kept man.”
“Forget it. You can make tens of millions of dollars through a lawsuit. It’s a high-paying job, isn’t it?”
Cate lowered her head and adjusted his shirt. ” But I support you in pursuing a career you like.
Being a lawyer is okay too. I like it when you go to court in a suit because you look particularly handsome.”
“Cate, thanks for supporting me.” Shaun kissed her forehead before he left.
After watching him walk away for some distance, Cate returned upstairs.
Mireya threw a coquettish glance at Cate’s lips. “Your lipstick has worn off. Did you convince Shaun with your kiss?
“You have to be stern with men when appropriate and keep them sweet after that.”
Cate openly reapplied some lipstick in front of Mireya.
Seeing Cate’s pretty and blushing cheeks, Mireya was very jealous. “It looks like you have Young Master Lyons in your clutches.”
“Our relationship is pretty stable now.”
Cate grinned. “I’ll invite Eliza to come out with us tonight as a celebration of you regaining your freedom. What do you think?”
“Sure.” Mireya nodded. “But I need to go home after dinner. I want to spend more time with Dani.”
“I got it. Since the weather is cold, let’s have a hotpot. There’s a newly-opened hotpot restaurant nearby, and the business seems to be doing very well.”
At 6:00 p.m.
Cate and Mireya made their way to the restaurant first to get a private room. Shortly after, Eliza arrived. She was muffled up tightly while wearing shades, a hat, and a scarf.
After Eliza took off her accessories, Mireya noticed that she had grown thinner. “Lizzie, are you getting enough rest lately?”
“Yeah. I’m a little tired.” Deep down, Eliza wondered how it would be possible for her to get some good rest when she had to deal with Chester every day. She wished she could just die.
Nevertheless, she did not want Mireya and Cate to know about it. It was because she did not want them to be worried. Another reason was that she feared they would look down on her.
Indeed. Even Eliza looked down on herself for leading such a life.
“Lizzie, stop brooding over Sarah. Cate and I have thought of a way for her to pay back. Just wait and see.”
Mireya picked up the menu. It had been a while since she last ate out, so she ordered a lot of food.
However, when the food was cooked, she felt that… the hotpot was not as delicious as the one she had with Ryan the last time.
The meat that Ryan cooked was really tasty and tender. In fact, she would be able to cook well as long as she managed the time well. However, she would eat and forget about the timing. By the time the meat was taken out, it was overcooked.
Suddenly, it hit Mireya that Ryan had helped her cook the ingredients when they had hotpot together earlier.
By the way, he was on a blind date tonight.
It seemed like he would have a girlfriend in the future.
If he had hotpot with his girlfriend in the future, Mireya would probably not get to eat the food he cooked anymore.
Somehow, Mireya suddenly felt a little glum.
It was as though the dog that had been accompanying her had found a bitch.
Amid her thoughts, Ryan suddenly sent her a sticker that read ¡®boring’.
Mireya immediately replied, [Why is it boring? Aren’t you on a blind date? Godmother and I picked the woman after very careful consideration. Is she pretty?]
Ryan: […You picked her with my mom?]
Mireya: [Yeah. Didn’t you say you like chubby women?]
Ryan: [Haha. How smart of you.]
Mireya: [I’m always smart. You don’t have to thank me.]
Ryan: [Please. She’s not even as pretty as you.]
Mireya smirked. Just as she was about to reply, Ryan added, [She’s not as chubby as you.]
Mireya flew into a rage. [Why don’t you say she’s not fat like me? Can you stop calling me fat? I’m not that fat either.]
Ryan: [Are you mad? I didn’t say you’re fat. I said that you’re chubby. Do you understand what chubby means? It’s the cute sort.]
Mireya: [Get lost. I don’t trust you. I’m just fat to you anyway. I need to go on a diet.]
Ryan: [Don’t go on a diet. Health comes first. I think you look better than before.]
Mireya: [Can’t you say nice things? I look good now and before too.]
Ryan: [Right. You’re the most beautiful person in the world.]
Ryan: [I’m bored to death. I’m engaging in an awkward conversation with her, and we don’t even have a common topic. Call me half an hour later, and I’ll find an excuse to take my leave first.]
Mireya: [I don’t think that’s a good idea. Won’t that be rude?]
Ryan: [I have no feelings for her. Am I supposed to lead her to consider the possibility of us being together? With my handsome looks, what if she falls deeply in love with me? You won’t understand this kind of trouble.]
Mireya chuckled.
At the table, Cate and Eliza turned their eyes to Mireya and smiled discreetly. “Who are you chatting with? For one moment, you’re smiling, and another, you’re angry. You seem like you’re in a relationship.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. I’m just chatting with Ryan. He’s on a blind date today, and he’s extremely narcissistic, ” Mireya swiftly explained.
“Oh. You’re chatting with him even when you’re eating? You seem to have quite a good relationship with him.” Cate raised her brow.
“It’s alright. Although he speaks meanly at times, I know he’s just kidding.”
Mireya smiled while looking at her phone.
Cate and Eliza exchanged glances, feeling something strange.
Halfway through their meal, Eliza received a series of WhatsApp messages.
After glancing at her phone, she put it aside and ignored it.
However, her phone soon rang.
She took her phone outside to answer it.
Cate blinked and said to Mireya, “Looks like something is up with Lizzie.” “Isn’t this normal? Considering her good looks, there’ll surely be men pursuing her. I hope she’ll get into a relationship soon and stop brooding over Sarah.” Mireya took a vegetable and ate it before she said, “This hotpot isn’t as tasty as the one I had with Ryan the last time.”
Cate was speechless.
¡®Sis, don’t you think you’ve become a lot pickier with food because of Ryan?’ she thought.
Half an hour later, Mireya gave Ryan a call. She heard Ryan faking his words on the other side. “Okay, okay… I’ll go over immediately to have a look at the situation… Wait there. Miss Cliff, my friend has an emergency. I’ll have to excuse myself first…”
Mireya sympathized with Miss Cliff.
After having hotpot, she was about to go back to the official residence. “You two can go shopping. I won’t be going with you guys.”
“I still have some things to do later. I’m afraid I can’t shop too, ” Eliza said apologetically to Cate.
Cate was depressed. She rejected Shaun to accompany her friends, but both of them were busy. “Okay then. I’ll go back home to be with Shaun and the children too.”
