Billionaire's Reborn Baby -
Chapter 906 Looking for Someone (2)
"Sir, can I help you?" The clerk came over and said, "Red rose represents deep love for the lover every day."
Collin didn't say anything and got in the car with a bouquet of lilies in his arms.
As night fell, the city became more lively. The neon lights were flashing on the streets filled with noises. But Collin was thinking about Roxy's voice solely.
"Doctor Mueller, I have a small gift for you."
Collin held the steering wheel, thinking back every expression she had at that time. He wished to replace a trace of shyness and adoration she revealed. Unfortunately, there was none.
Her eyes were clean and honest, telling others that this was not a special gesture and that she didn't give him the gift because she had a crush on him.
At the entrance of the hotel, he threw the car key to the valet and walked into the hall with the bouquet.
Cora saw her handsome son from afar, and she smiled at the mother and daughter sitting opposite her and said, "He is here."
Collin revealed his signature smile from afar. When he arrived in front of them, he greeted the mother and daughter and then gave the lilies in his hand to the daughter who looked at him shyly.
"Have a seat." The mother was over fifty years old, but she was well-maintained. There were tiny wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, making her more elegant and kind. She looked up and down at Collin and said with a smile, "He is really a gentleman."
Cora's eyes were full of pride, but she said modestly, "I am glad that you like Collin."
"Who wouldn't?" Leslie smiled. "If he were my son, I would be so happy."
"Maybe he can." Cora winked at Leslie.
Both of them looked at the girl who had been shy and hadn't spoken a word. When the girl noticed their attention, her face immediately blushed. Being timid, she held her mother's mom and blamed, "Mom!" Obviously, she had thin skin.
But Leslie knew that her daughter had taken a fancy to Collin, but she did not point it out. She just sized up the person in front of her again.
"Mrs. Leslie, what do you want to eat? Have you ordered it?" Collin asked with a smile.
"Not yet. We won't be here for long. You should order for yourselves." Leslie said.
"Then let's order together." Collin beckoned for the waiter to come over and looked at the girl, "Miss Jade, do you have any allergies?"
Jade glanced at Collin, her face still blushful, but she summoned some courage to answer, "I am allergic to prawns."
"Alright, I'll have this..." Collin ordered a few dishes. But before he could finish, Cora stood up and looked at Collin. "We won't disturb you anymore. We will be there. I still have something to talk about with Leslie. Right, can I borrow your phone? Mine is out of battery. I need to call your father."
Collin hesitated, and then fished out his phone to Cora.
He had nothing to hide. His last phone record with Roxy was last month. They hadn't spoken with each other for a long time.
Cora asked, "What's your password?"
Collin tapped and unlocked the phone. He had changed his password. Cora wanted to ask but she changed her mind because of Leslie and Jade. She took the phone and went to another seat with Leslie. This blind date was supposed to be in February. But because Collin was busy with work and then Jade got sick as her teeth suffered from inflammation for more than half a month. So it had been postponed until today.
"How are your teeth?" Since the two elders had left, the atmosphere on the table immediately relaxed. Collin poured a cup of warm water for Jade and asked.
In fact, their father also wanted to come. But Cora felt that it would add a lot of pressure to the kids. The kids just met and needed time to get familiar. Therefore, she advised that she and Leslie came first. "Yes, I feel much better." Jade was not good-looking, but she was tall enough. This satisfied Cora as she needed to worry about the height of her grandkids.
It seemed that Jade wore a pair of contact lenses because her pupils were bigger than average. Collin observed carefully for a moment and said confidently, "You are short-sighted?"
"Yes, I am." Jade was a little embarrassed and nervous. "I usually wear glasses."
"It doesn't matter. I wear glasses too." Collin pointed at his eyes. "I only wear it at work."
"Really?" Jade was cheered up and lifted the corner of her lips a bit. She added, "I am Jade Durant."
"I am Collin Mueller." Collin looked in the direction of Cora not far away. She was holding his phone and making a call.
Jade thought that he did not like to be watched, so she apologized in embarrassment, "I'm sorry. My mom insisted on coming. I couldn't talk her out of this."
"It's fine," Collin said as he looked back at her.
Jade felt that Collin was gentle and whispered, "You're such a nice person."
Hearing that, Collin suddenly felt that Jade was an innocent girl. She was completely the opposite of Roxy who could play men like a fool.
Before this blind date, both their parents had told them all they needed to know about the other party. So they had a general picture of each other. Collin didn't have any questions to ask Jade, but she was curious about his work and was full of respect for him.
This reminded Collin of his previous blind date. He had almost forgotten the girl's name. It was Kiki or something.
He had been with Roxy for so long but never heard anything about his work from her. She never commented on it. She had never asked anything about it as Jade did right now.
Roxy would never ask unless he had a whim to tell her. She would just listen quietly as if it didn't mean much to her.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
