When the assistant saw the woman’s face clearly, he couldn’t help but exclaim and said, “Mr. Floyd, it’s her! She’s really here!”
“Can you lower your voice a little?” Leonard chided in reply.
After hearing this, the assistant immediately lowered his voice, but he still couldn’t control his surprise. “She looks more beautiful in person than in her photos. Hmm, I think she looks like someone in her twenties. In fact, she doesn’t look like a woman who has given birth!”
“Shut your mouth! She’s only in her twenties, isn’t she?” Leonard lowered his voice and asked. To be honest, he was also stunned by Valeria. She was indeed much more beautiful than she was in the photos and videos.
When Leonard saw that his assistant didn’t even turn his head to look at him, he became unhappy. “Hey! Don’t stare at her. Eat your snacks!”
His tone was harsh, and the assistant was shocked. However, he did not dare to stare at Valeria anymore, and he immediately lowered his head to eat the pastries.
On the other hand, Valeria didn’t notice Leonard and his assistant. She often came here, and she was familiar with the waiter. When the waiter saw Valeria coming in, he immediately greeted him with a smile. “Are you alone today?”
“There’s another person coming. They’ll be here soon.”
After hearing this, the waiter led Valeria to a seat. Then, she put down her bag and took out his mobile phone to make a call. Suddenly, Anna appeared at the door. She looked around and immediately found Valeria, so she walked toward the latter with a smile and said, “Valeria! Sorry, I’m late!”
“Nah, you’re not too late. I just arrived.” Valeria smiled and asked Anna to sit down. “What do you want to eat?”
“It’s my first time here, so I don’t know what’s delicious. I’ll order whatever you get, Valeria.”
Then, Valeria ordered a few signature desserts, a fruit salad and a milk tea with ice cream.
Meanwhile, Anna stared at her from head to toe and exclaimed, “Valeria, you’ve lost a lot of weight!”
“Really?” Valeria felt the most delighted when someone told her that she had lost weight.”
“It’s true! You had a double chin the last time I saw you, but it’s disappeared. Your face looks a lot sharper now!”
Valeria touched her face and was overjoyed when she heard this. “I also think that I’ve become thinner, so I came out to have a meal. Well, to be honest with you, I haven’t come out for a long time.”
While Anna looked at Valeria’s bright smile, she suddenly saw the red dot on Valeria’s neck. “Hmm, Valeria, you and your husband… must have had an intense session last night, huh?”
When Valeria remembered how insatiable William was last night, she blushed. “That… erm…”
Meanwhile, Anna looked at Valeria’s flushed face and said, “Valeria, I finally know why you are getting more beautiful. Is it because of my brother-in-law?”
“Hey! Anna!” Valeria glared at her when she heard this.
On the other hand, Anna did not feel embarrassed at all. “I envy you so much. My brother-in-law treats you so well. Alas! If only I could find a man who loves me the same way that he loves you!”
Valeria didn’t know what to say when she heard this. She was afraid that Anna would continue this topic, so she immediately changed the subject. “Are you getting along with Andrew? How’s the progress of your relationship?”
“After what happened to Azalea, I didn’t dare to go out. However, he called me,” Anna answered shyly.
“Anna, if you get together with Andrew in the future, you’ll have to call me Aunt Valeria instead of only Valeria in the future.”
“Huh? Do I have to call you my aunt? Valeria, aren’t you worried that you’ll sound older if I call you Aunt Valeria?”
“Nah, I’m not. Do you want to try calling me your aunt?”
“No! I don’t want to do so! You still have a long way to go before you become my aunt! How could you be this shameless?”
“Haha! I guess you also know that I still have a long way, huh? Look, you like Andrew, and he likes you too. However, Andrew is a little nerdy, and he doesn’t know how to win over a woman’s heart. Hence, you need to take the initiative. After all, I want to watch both of you get married. When that happens, you can give birth to a baby too! Then, we can bring our babies out together when we enjoy some afternoon tea.”
“Valeria, you’re making fun of me! If you continue to joke around this way, I won’t be your friend anymore!” Anna nagged Valeria was glaring at her with mixed emotions.
After all, she was hiding something from Valeria. These past few days, not only was Andrew contacting her every day, but Raymond was doing the same as well. Previously, she had detested Raymond so much, but she had started treating him differently these days.
She didn’t even hate Raymond anymore, and she didn’t know how to describe her feelings for him.
While they were talking, the waiter brought them their tea and snacks. Thus, Valeria immediately asked Anna to try the snacks.
Anna took a piece of pastry and tasted it. “Wow, it’s really delicious! Valeria, please bring me to places where I can enjoy good food and drinks!”
“Sure, you can marry Andrew and move into the villa with us. We can stick together the whole day, and you can look for me whenever you’re craving something.”
After saying this, Valeria laughed again. On the other hand, when Leonard saw the bright smile on Valeria’s and Anna’s faces as they chatted, his heart was moved for some reason.
Well, perhaps this was why William had married Valeria. After all, he would also have feelings for a woman who was innocent and romantic like her.
Meanwhile, Valeria had never paid attention to anyone else since she came in. She had been talking with Anna the whole time. In fact, he thought that Valeria would be shocked when she saw him, but she had ignored him completely.
This made Leonard a little unhappy. Hence, he had to think of a way to attract Valeria’s attention.
Well, Leonard didn’t know what Valeria would think of his appearance. Therefore, he whispered something to his assistant, who immediately got up and left the restaurant.
On the other hand, Valeria continued to chat with Anna. However, they were now talking about Cade and Santhos.
Anna really liked both Cade and Santhos, so she asked, “Valeria, why didn’t you bring them out today?”
“When I came out, they were still sleeping, and they were not up yet. Well, I can’t bring them out even if I wanted to. After all, I would have to bring a whole crowd out with me, and I feel a little restricted.”
“That’s true. The two babies are the precious grandchildren of the Saunders family. You would be worried about them no matter where they go.”
“That’s right. That’s why I’m the only one who slipped out to have fun.” Valeria picked up her milk tea and was about to drink it when a man suddenly stood beside them. He held a bunch of flowers in his hand and said, “Hello, miss. A man who is drinking tea here asked me to give you this!”
Valeria’s gaze lingered on the roses in the man’s hand for a split second, and she glanced at Anna. After that, both of them looked around the restaurant for a bit, and they were a few men around them. When they saw Valeria looking at them, they all let out smiles, but her gaze finally fell on Leonard, who was holding and looking at his phone.
After seeing Leonard’s face clearly, a surprised expression appeared on Valeria’s face. On the other hand, Anna also saw Leonard, so was shocked by Leonard’s appearance. “Valeria, why… why does he look like my brother-in-law?”
Anna’s voice was so loud that Leonard could hear it clearly. Then, he looked up at Valeria with a gentle smile.
Their eyes met immediately. Hence, Leonard thought that Valeria would say something. However, she retracted her gaze and said lightly, “He doesn’t look like my husband at all. He’s not as handsome as my husband, and his figure isn’t as good as my husband’s either. Urgh! He’s also so old and wretched!”
