When Catherine heard it, she couldn’t help but frown, and then looked over towards the source of the voice. The person who spoke was naturally Alastair, who had arrived in the wind and dust.
“Don’t mind, let’s have a meal together.”
Alastair said, looking at Catherine with a big smile.
Catherine looked at such Alastair, for a moment really some can not bear to refuse, can only resentfully nod.
“Okay, three this way please.”
With that, the waiter took Catherine and the three of them to a window seat.
“Mr. Jakovich, do you … you have any contraindications? Or what do you like to eat?”
Catherine still asked politely when she was ordering, but after Catherine finished, she felt that she was asking something inappropriate, and then changed her tone and said again, “Mr. Jakovich, you order first.” With that, Catherine handed the menu to Alastair.
Alastair pushed his hand against the menu and waved a hand at Catherine, then said, “I’ll eat whatever I want, I’m not picky.”
To be honest, Catherine for Alastair’s good very attitude some do not know what to do, although she does not like Alastair entangled with their own, but reach for the smile, Catherine vaguely some helpless.
“Okay then, I’ll order it.”
Catherine finally replied, then ordered according to her own taste, she did not order something for Alastair, but instead ordered all spicy, this is Catherine deliberately, she did not want to make a fool of Alastair, but wanted to make Alastair understand her own meaning, and not to pester himself in the future.
“Well, that’s it.”
Catherine finished her order and handed the menu to the waiter.
The face of Alastair naturally there is nothing to talk about, but because Alastair in the reason, Catherine and Eva also did not, the scene seems a little awkward.
It was Alastair who finally opened his mouth, “Miss Perry, how have you been?”
How is it going? Catherine thinks about the state she’s been in the last few days, separated from the person she loves, being a woman but unable to have children, her mother being drugged to suicide by someone else …
They were all terrible things, and they were like a mountain that weighed Catherine down.
But would Catherine tell Alastair this? She wouldn’t, and in response to Alastair’s questions, she just smiled sarcastically and then simply replied, “I’m fine lately, I’m not happy or sad.”
Faced with Catherine’s answer, Alastair nodded. He knew inwardly that Catherine was now a bit disheartened and did not have much in mind for herself. But could he just give up? He couldn’t!
“Miss Perry, as a friend, you can come to me if you have any difficulties, but I am very welcome.”
“Then I thank Mr. Jakovich for his kindness in advance, and I will definitely visit you in the future if there are any difficulties.”
Catherine responded with a smile, but of course it was just talk, she knew very well in her heart, her relationship with Alastair, Alastair chased himself, since she did not agree, how could she bother him?
To avoid the subject, Catherine asked out towards Alastair: “Mr. Jakovich, what are you doing here?”
“I was passing by and just happened to run into you appearing here, I thought we were old friends again, so I took the liberty of coming up here, Miss Perry shouldn’t mind, right?”
Alastair said extremely politely.
Catherine just smiled at this and replied, “Of course, Mr. Jakovich is my friend, so of course I don’t mind.”
Catherine is still quite polite to Alastair, if it were another person, she would have been impatient.
After all, Alastair as president so pull down the identity and Catherine to talk, is already extremely polite, besides, Alastair treats Catherine is also in the sincere, although has been pursuing Catherine, Catherine also did not promise.
But he did not take any special measures, you know, now is the twenty-first century, if Alastair really want to get Catherine, it can be said to be as easy as a hand, plus Alastair and Catherine’s company is a big customer, so Catherine treats Alastair like this is also reasonable.
“It’s good that you don’t mind, it’s good that you don’t mind.”
Alastair smiled dryly, because of the last misunderstanding of Eva, it was obviously awkward and impossible to ask Alastair to say anything more in front of Eva.
Fortunately, the speed of serving food in this restaurant is not a cover. Soon, some of the food ordered by Catherine had been brought up and the soup inside the hot pot was boiling.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he heard his mother’s sour voice: “Well, Darren, what’s gotten into you?”
“Of course, I’m sure Mother wouldn’t want me to just sink into this, would she?”
Darren smiled and replied that his mother, Mr. Kirkland, who had been a great success at the mall, was also quite a headache.
After all, the family is left with an old man, his mother, what they do have to consider it, and then there is the mother’s age is not young, in case Darren do something, the mother can not stand, and then angry out what disease, it is not bad?
“Oh Darren, I thought you forgot about the Kirkland Family, I thought you were going to drink yourself to death!”
Talia said very nonchalantly and unkindly, to be honest, as a mother, for Darren’s state, she is still very worried, but she has no other way out.
We can’t ask Darren to bring Catherine back to the Kirkland Family, that’s obviously impossible, Catherine can’t have children now, bring Catherine back, what about the Kirkland Family? Is it really going to be broken? This is not acceptable to Darren’s mother.
“Mother where are these words, I know that you are also worried about me recently, I am here to promise my mother, in the future what to do, will have a number in mind, so that my mother will not worry about me.”
Darren said with a few pleasing meaning, he thought to let Catherine back to the Kirkland Family, the first thing to do is to let her mother accept her, but to let her mother first accept her, the first step is naturally to let the mother’s heart resentment down.
“Hmph!”
Darren’s mother’s mouth lightly grunted, but the expression on her face has betrayed the pleasure in her heart now, her own son came out of the fog, as a mother how could she not be happy for her son?
“Well, things have passed, you do not think too much, while still young, hurry to find a daughter-in-law back, or let me enjoy a good life, you say I am so old, but even a grandson is not yet, you look at my poker friends, which are not children can play soy sauce on the street. You are going to make me lose my face.”
