Alvina stepped into the hall on the second floor and saw that there was a man sitting at a table near the window drinking tea. His expression was relaxed and Alvina quickly walked over to him, causing Joseph to turn and look at her.

Against the light, his facial features were extremely beautiful. Even the smile on his eyebrows had taken on certain warmth.

Alvina never knew what beckoning felt like, but the moment she was looked at by him, her heart started to thump hard, and even her breathing had almost stopped.

"You're here?" The man stood up and took two steps towards her politely. His voice was low and gentle.

Alvina regained the rhythm of her breathing, and a flush flashed across her snow white and exquisite face.

She lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye. With a vague "En", she pretended to be unfamiliar with him as she walked around him and sat in the seat opposite of him. Joseph's eyes showed that he was slightly startled and he couldn't help but bite his lips. He turned around and saw that the girl had already sat down and was staring at the menu on the table. "For just few days, you are new to me?" Joseph did not expect her to be so cold. He asked jokingly.

Alvina was actually not cold at all. She just didn't know how to handle his enthusiasm. She could only pretend to be calm. Unfortunately, her act was not good enough, in Joseph's eyes, it was cold. "We weren't familiar with each other before. Hahaha!" When Alvina looked up, it was as if all the light above her head had been injected into the depths of her eyes. Only now did Joseph realize how blue her eyes were. After dyeing, they looked like crystal, showing pure temperament.

The man's heart skipped a beat as he had never seen a woman so close to him before. With a casual glance, he discovered that she had such beautiful eyes and her skin was very white, giving off a bright luster. He didn't even need to touch her to know that she was soft and smooth, making him want to pinch her.

"That's right. We should be familiar with each other by the time we finish a few more meals!" Joseph suddenly became humorous. Previously, he always felt that being with women was a boring thing to do, and he even had to replace topics to liven up the atmosphere, it would be tiring.

Now that Alvina was sitting opposite of him, his mind was filled with thoughts of teasing her.

"What is this place? I've never been here before, and I didn't know there was such a restaurant here." Alvina asked curiously, looking around with her beautiful eyes.

"This is a restaurant specially used to receive guests from outside the country. It's not open to the public, so of course you wouldn't know about it." Joseph explained with a smile.

"Oh, I see!" Alvina slightly pouted. She understood.

Seeing her pouting, Joseph darkened his eyes a little. So there was really a woman who looked good even when she pouted.

"Does your grandfather know you came to see me?" Joseph took a sip of the tea and asked casually.

"He knows, I told him." Alvina thought about what her grandfather had said, and her face heated up again.

"Then did your grandfather tell you anything?" Joseph was trying to replace the right words to say.

Alvina's heart skipped a beat. That can't be, how did this man know what his grandfather had warned her before?

Could it be that he could see through people's thoughts?

"No, my grandpa just wanted me to get along with you and not argue with you!" Alvina's beautiful eyes flashed, and replied while looking at the menu.

Joseph's thin lips couldn't help but rise: "So your grandfather thought you would quarrel with me?"

Alvina was stumped by his words and rolled her eyes, "Should we order first? I didn't have much to eat for lunch, so I'm a little hungry now."

Joseph quickly called for a waiter to help them order the dishes. When Alvina saw that the staff were especially respectful to Joseph, a complex feeling rose in her heart. People were all respectful to Joseph. What about her?

"Have a cup of tea. Is it boring to be with me?" Joseph did not have those flowery thoughts in his head, so he was really worried that Alvina would feel that he was bored and overdone.

"No!" Alvina quickly rid herself of all the thoughts in her head and carried the tea up for drinking.

"Then why are you still in a daze? What are you thinking about?" Joseph suddenly asked curiously.

Alvina put down her teacup and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I just feel that your life is one that I have never experienced before. It's kind of novel."

"Then do you want to know more about me?" hearing her say that, Joseph changed his expression. His voice became deeper.

Alvina stared blankly for a moment before nodding her head, "If it's convenient, I would of course like to get to know you more. Otherwise, if we were to get married in the future, it would be a little too late to get to know each other."

"Then come home with me after dinner!" Joseph did not reject her invitation to enter his life, and allowed her to do so very straightforwardly.

"Is your family there too?" Alvina's heart jumped, although this man was inviting her in all seriousness, she did not know why, but her heart was beating extremely quickly as she became nervous. "They won't live with me. If you want to see them, I'll take you there another day." Joseph explained with a faint smile.

"There's no need. We still don't have to meet with the parents yet. Let's get to know each other first!" When Alvina heard that he wanted to take her to see his family, she immediately tensed up. Joseph could see her nervousness and uneasiness. He lowered his head and smiled, "Alright, I won't force you to decide whether or not you want to meet them!"

Alvina secretly heaved a sigh of relief, then picked up the teacup on the table and drank a few mouthfuls of tea.

Strange, why did her mouth become dry when she was with this man?

"The night scenery outside this window is so quiet. There's not even the sound of a water wheel." Alvina looked out of the window and only saw a field of quiet lights and a few cars entering and exiting. "This is a political area, there aren't many people here. Don't you like this kind of environment?" Joseph's expression tensed up.

"No, actually, I don't like noisy places!" What Alvina said was also the truth. Ever since the incident with her father, she liked to stay at home and didn't like to interact with others. After her grandfather sent her out of the country to study, she slowly opened her heart to accept everything in this world.

However, her lively and active temperament changed ever since she was a child. She no longer had that kind of passion for everything.

The delicious delicacies were served to them. Alvina withdrew her train of thought and raised her head, coincidentally meeting the eyes of the man in front of her.

One was like deep sea, while the other was like autumn lake. They felt awkward seeing into each other's eyes and quickly moved away.

"Eat!" Joseph lowered his head and chuckled. When he saw her flustered look away just now, he actually felt that she was extremely adorable.
