Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) -
Chapter 1176
It was only when Mr. Clark mentioned that Ernest knew Vera and Quill were dating.
They met each other when they were getting drinks. They usually just nodded to greet each other or exchanged a few words at most. But when Mr. Clark saw Ernest, he remembered the young lady who was with Quill. He knew that Ernest had a good relationship with Quill, so he went forward to gossip about it with him.
He was a middle-aged man, after all, and he had no more pursuits. After all, he had a perfect family with a son and a daughter. Aside from intending to reduce his weight, he was only interested in gossip. Therefore, when Mr. Clark saw Ernest, he went up to gossip. Seeing that Ernest was puzzled, Mr. Clark spoke enthusiastically.
"Mr. Lowell, although you are close with President Hanover, it seems that there are still some things that you don't know about."
Ernest was completely befuddled as he didn't understand what Mr. Clark was laughing about. But he was experienced, so he was not anxious at all. He just smiled and looked at Mr. Clark, quietly waiting for him to spill everything.
Sure enough, seeing that Ernest was not asking about it, Mr. Clark couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to show off.
"My wife has been asking me to go out for a jog every day. She asked me to reduce my body weight, so I free up some time to work out every morning. But when I came back, I met President Hanover. Guess what I saw?"
Ernest remained calm.
Mr. Clark still succeeded in piquing his curiosity. What did he see that was so shocking? Could it be that Quill had a woman by his side?
"There was a young lady by Quill's side."
Upon hearing this, Ernest raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "A young lady?"
He actually guessed correctly that it had something to do with women.
He didn't know why, but when he heard the words young lady, a familiar person appeared in his mind. There was only one person Ernest knew who had something to do with Quill and could make him care for. "Yes, a young lady. Probably only a little older than my daughter. Seeing how President Hanover had always acted, I thought that he would stay single for life. Who would have thought that he would be shameless enough to go after a young lady." After saying that, Mr. Clark kept shaking his head as he clicked his tongue.
Hearing his words, Ernest smiled. "Mr. Clark, did you say that in front of him?"
Mr. Clark appeared to be shocked.
"How would I possibly do that? Wouldn't I just be digging my own grave? I wouldn't dare to do that. I just didn't expect that he would actually go after a young girl. This young lady is surely charming. Otherwise, why would President Hanover suddenly be interested in women when he had never been interested? How strange."
"It's just a matter of fate." Ernest picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip as he said faintly, "Who could be sure? No matter if it's a young lady or a matured woman, as long as it's Quill's fate, there's surely no doubt."
"Ah, you're right indeed, but you're more composed than I thought. Aren't you surprised that President Hanover is finally dating?"
Hearing that, Ernest smiled faintly and put down the teacup in his hand. "Perhaps it's because I had a hunch that they would end up dating each other?"
Mr. Clark yelled in
dissatisfaction immediately and blamed Ernest. It turned out that he had known about it long ago, yet he didn't say a word about it. He thought that he had grasped some big news and boasted about it.
"I just saw that you were so excited about it, so I didn't want to ruin your fun."
Mr. Clark was rendered speechless.
He felt that he couldn't befriend him anymore. No wonder Quill and Ernest have such a good relationship. Both of them were not decent people at all! Hmph!
After tea, Ernest went to the pasta restaurant in the afternoon.
It'd been a while since he last came, and the pasta restaurant had become even more popular. When Ernest went in, the group of people who wanted to cause trouble for Vera Kappened to be inside as well. When they saw Ernest, their expression changed slightly. Then they bent down and lowered their
heads to whisper.
"Isn't that Mr. Lowell of the Lowell Group? Why is he here? Does that mean the delivery girl really has something to do with President Hanover?"
"Mr. Lowell is close with President
Hanover, and everyone knows about that. Who would've thought that she would be so quick to act? Does she want to hook up with two people at a time? Or does she have other purposes?"
Jennifer sat in the corner, looking timid, "I think... they're probably just friends. After all, Mr. Lowell is famous for being loyal." Everyone knew this. Since Ernest's wife passed away, he had never remarried, and he refused to get close to any other women.
Otherwise, with his status and
identity, how could he still be single until now? Of course, there were a lot of women who threw themselves at him. But he only had his late wife in his heart. Who could compete with the deceased?
Therefore, everyone's target was not on Ernest anymore.
Jennifer thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we just leave after having the pasta today? Let's just pretend that we came here to eat. Mr. Lowell is here. If we cause trouble, he might recognize us." Everyone had an ugly expression. After all, no one had foreseen Ernest appearing. Moreover, they hadn't seen Vera, and they didn't know where she had gone.
At this time, Beanie came and handed them the menu.
"Hello, ladies. Here's the menu. What would you all like to eat?" A childish voice suddenly appeared, attracting the attention of the girls on the table.
One of them couldn't help but exclaim just as she saw him.
"Oh dear, what an adorable boy..."
Just when they wanted to comment further, Beanie had already handed them the menu. They didn't want to let the child down, especially one who was so lovely and good-looking.
After they ordered, Beanie smiled and took back the menu.
"Okay, then. Please wait for a moment."
Someone then said after he left.
"Who is that child? He's so good-looking. Could it be the delivery girl's illegitimate child?"
Someone couldn't help but glare at her. "You think too highly of her. How could she bear such a goodlooking child with that average look?"
"That's true."
Jennifer stared at Beanie's back, thought for a moment, and said quietly, "Don't you think... this kid looks like someone?"
"Who???" Everyone was suddenly interested.
Jennifer rubbed her nose and said, "The president of the Yardley Corporation."
"Maddox Yardley?"
One of them cried out in surprise.
