Chapter 32 Have Dinner Together



Chapter 32 Have Dinner Together

Leah sent the painting back to the Great Garden. Eric was considerate. The painting was more than one meter long. Knowing that she couldn't take it, he sent someone to help her move it.

"Miss Leah, what's this?" Seeing Leah come back, Hugh followed her.

"I went to Mr. Eric's gallery today and he gave me a painting." Leah was a little excited.

"Oh, where should I hang this painting?" Asked Hugh.

Resting her chin on her hand, Leah asked, "MR. Hugh, is there any place at home suitable for this painting?"

Looking around, Hugh's eyes lit up. "Miss Leah, there is a wall in the study. But I don't know if Mr. Lucian will blame you."

"I don't think so. If he comes back to see the painting and doesn't like it, he can take it off and hang it somewhere else."

"Okay, I'll hang it up."

"Bugs! Bugs! Who are you missing?"

Leah looked at the caller ID and found it was Charlie. Then she hung up.

Unexpectedly, her phone rang again.

"What's up?" Her good mood was ruined by his phone call.

"Let's have dinner together tonight." His voice was not as cold as before, but with a little expectation.

"I'm busy." Leah refused.

"I have those photos of you before." Charlie said in a cold voice.

"Despicable."

"Paul Restaurant, seven o'clock tonight." After saying that, Charlie hung up the phone.

Leah looked at her watch. It was already six fifteen.

"You don't have to prepare dinner for me tonight. I have to go out."

"Yes, sir." The maids around answered.

In the Paul Restaurant, Leah looked at the man opposite her expressionlessly. She didn't like this place.

"Where are the photos?"

Without answering her, Charlie opened the menu and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"I hate Western food."

Charlie paused and asked, "Why did you have it before?"

"I was stupid." Leah smiled coldly. Thinking of her past, she felt heartbroken.

"Then let's change to another one." Charlie stood up and was about to leave.

"No, you don't have to accommodate to me. We didn't accommodate to each other before. Now we are separated. Do you think it's necessary?" Leah said calmly.

"Are you blaming me? You didn't tell me before. " Charlie was not in a good mood.

"No. It's all my fault. You haven't asked me. I should have told you." Leah said sarcastically.

"Mr. Charlie, this is the steak you ordered before." The manager came over, followed by two waiters.

"Go get two pairs of chopsticks."

"What?" The manager was confused.

"Go ahead." Charlie said irritably.

"Yes, sir." The manager hurried downstairs and asked the waiter to bring two pairs of chopsticks.

"Mr. Charlie, it's not polite to take chopsticks in a western restaurant." Leah said.

Charlie didn't say anything. He took the plate in front of Leah, slowly cut the steak into small pieces with a knife and fork, and then pushed it in front of her.

"I like it." Said Charlie.

Leah looked at the man in front of her speechlessly. She didn't know what happened today.

"Where are the photos?"

Charlie stared at her and said, "If you don't want to eat, I won't give it to you."

Under the strange gaze of the crowd, they finished the steak with chopsticks.

"Go to the cinema with me." [荣梓柯] put down his chopsticks.

"What do you want?" Leah said angrily.

"Photos."

"Let's go."

Seeing that Leah walked out of the restaurant angrily, Charlie slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and the coldness in his eyes faded away.

The movie was the latest released. Leah had been looking forward to it, but when she thought of watching it with Charlie, she was in no mood at all.

The movie lasted for more than three hours, which was like a torment. Others were crying, but they didn't say a word.

Most of them were couples, and they were not even friends.

After the movie ended, they walked out of the cinema. Leah breathed a sigh of relief. It was too stuffy in the cinema, and the air outside was better.

"Well, the movie is over. Can you give me the photos now?" Leah looked at his darkened face.

"Do you really want to escape from me?" Charlie's eyes turned cold.

"Mr. Charlie, you don't like me all the time. I just want to get out of your sight as soon as possible, in case you block me."

"Are you really living with Lucian?"

Leah snorted, "Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Leah, I underestimated you. How could you forget our relationship in the past two years so easily?" Charlie's eyes turned red.

"It's not love, it's deception. I will always remember the deception in the past two years. Moreover, the best way to heal a relationship is to fall in love with another person. I just want to minimize the damage you will do to me."

"So, you fell in love with Lucian?" Charlie looked coldly at the familiar and strange woman in front of him.

Leah didn't answer, but looked at the people coming and going.

"Do you know that he admitted that he came back to look for his female confidant?" Asked Charlie, frowning.

Leah's heart ached, "So what?"

"Aren't you afraid that he will abandon you one day? Maybe she just takes you as a substitute now. " What Charlie said was exactly what she had been worried about.

"So what? I'm willing to do it. " Leah said in a serious tone.

"You..." Charlie was too angry to say a word.

"Well, if you don't want to give me the photos, I'll go first." Leah turned around and walked to the roadside.

Clenching his fists, Charlie watched the petite figure get into the car.

In the car, tears ran down her cheeks.

succedaneum? Was it really a substitute? He was so good to her, and she was destined to be a loser in love.

"Bugs! Bugs! Who are you missing?"

Leah wiped her tears and answered the phone.

"Are you crying?" A magnetic voice came through.

"The sand is blowing into my eyes."

"Little girl, what happened?" Obviously, Lucian was not satisfied with her answer.

"Nothing."

"The lunar July 7th will be in three days. I will go back. What gift do you want?" Lucian asked softly.

"It's good that you come back." Leah mumbled.

"Ha ha." Lucian chuckled.

"Lucian."

"What?"

"If the person you are looking for comes back one day, I will leave without disturbing you." Leah tried her best to make her voice sound calm.

Lucian kept silent for a while and said, "No, you have to be responsible for me since I have given you my virginity."

Leah smiled through tears, "You are shameless." This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"How can I be shameless? Think about it. I saved you, but you didn't marry me. I stuck to you, but you even didn't want me. " The innocent and aggrieved voice came to Leah's ears.

Leah smiled and scolded, "Bargains are not good."

"You don't know whether I'm good or not? Huh? " Lucian asked affectionately.

"Are you good?" Leah said in a coquettish tone.

"Little girl, think about it. I'm rich and good-looking. I'm good at living, cooking and..." said Lucian in a low voice. "I can warm the bed. Am I not good?"

Leah blushed and said, "Shame on you. You are so narcissistic."

Lucian pretended to be serious, "This is not narcissism, this is self-knowledge, which shows that I know myself very well, and now, I am helping you understand your man."

Leah was amused by him, "I say that you are narcissistic, but you refused to admit it. I'm angry."

"No, I'm not. I'm not narcissistic. I'm deeply aware of my mistakes. I will be modest in the future."

"That's good."

"Little girl, as my girlfriend, you are not allowed to think of other men."

"You are so bossy. I just want to." Leah said willfully.

"You little girl, I will teach you a lesson when I go back." Lucian smiled and pretended to be angry.

"Here we are, miss." The driver said.

"Little girl, are you home? Go back to wash yourself and go to bed. What time is it now? You will look ugly if you stay up late. "

Leah got out of the car and asked, "Do you think I'm ugly?"

Realizing that there was something wrong with his words, Lucian quickly said, "No! No! My girl is the most beautiful. Go back to sleep. I have to go to work."

"Okay." When her bad mood was swept away, Leah hung up the phone with a smile.

Looking at the phone, Lucian's eyes flashed with coldness. Lucian dialed a number, "Rain, help me check who Leah met today."
