Chapter 63: Get Your Hand off Me
Afra and Frederic had been chatting with their old friends. When they saw Edwiin coming with Suzanne in his arms, they waved to them and asked the waiter to bring two more glasses of red wine.
“I guess everyone knows my son.” Afra said with a smile. Because of Edwiin’s great reputation, Afra, as his mother, was also stained with a lot of glory. She was very confident in front of her old friends.
“Who doesn’t know that Edwiin is so excellent?” An old friend chuckled. “Your son is brilliant. He has made such a big name for himself in just a few years abroad. How extraordinary!”
The speaker was an old man surnamed Lee. His son and Frederic were good friends. The two families were on good terms. They would gather to enjoy themselves when they were free.
“You flatter him too much.” Frederic clinked glasses with him and said modestly, “This guy just took advantage of the good economic situation to make some money. Don’t think highly of him, or he will become arrogant.”
Edwiin politely greeted his parents’ friends. He was polite and thoughtful. Naturally, Suzanne, who was standing next to him, had to do the same.
“Eh? The girl looks quite pretty,” said someone. “Is she Edwiin’s girlfriend?”
Afra was a little embarrassed. Thinking that her old friend might have misunderstood, she said, “Aha, no, my son hasn’t got a girlfriend yet. This is……”
“She’s Auntie Wendy’s daughter.” Edwin interrupted her with a smile on his face, but he warned her with his eyes, “Mom, have you forgotten?”
Afra quickly stopped herself from finishing her words. She patted her forehead and she was a little annoyed. She smiled embarrassedly at the crowd and said, “I’m really sorry. I almost forgot.”
Suzanne breathed a sigh of relief. She was deeply afraid that Afra would reveal her identity in front of so many people.
Later, she took the opportunity to say that she wanted to go to the bathroom and escaped from Edwiin.
After leaving Edwiin, Suzanne felt much better, without so much depression. Why didn’t he talk to those big bosses instead of taking her in front of Afra?
Suzanne washed her face with water, and the cold water made her feel refreshed.
She wiped the water from her hands with a tissue, lifted her skirt, and walked out of the bathroom. When she happened to meet Vito, who had just come out of the men’s room, the two pairs of eyes met.
All of a sudden, she held her breath and was stunned on the spot.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Vito’s outfit today was no different from usual. His hair was combed neatly and he had an exquisite wristwatch on. He was still as handsome and attractive as ever.
If anything had changed about him, it would be the pair of jet-black eyes that were staring at Suzanne now. There was a hint of surprise and praise in his eyes as if her outfit satisfied him very well.
Suzanne looked at his handsome face with a dazed expression.
Having not seen each other for such a long time, she thought that she had completely forgotten him. Unexpectedly, when she saw him again, she would still panic and feel heartache. She could no longer control her emotions with just a few glances at him.
That’s it! He was the man she had loved for four years. How could she forget him so easily?
Even if she ate a piece of cake, the delicious taste could still linger in her heart for a long time after eating, let alone a person who she had loved for four years? Every little thing they got along with was engraved in her heart.
After being in a daze for a while, Suzanne withdrew her gaze. She reached out to gather the loose hair by her ears, lowered her head slightly, lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked past him.
Just as she was about to walk past him, he reached out to grab her wrist and stop her from leaving.
Suzanne was forced to stop. She turned her head with a polite smile on her face. “Excuse me, sir. Please let go of me. I’m leaving. Thank you.”
“Why are you in such a hurry? Let’s have a chat.” Vito smiled in an extremely elegant manner. With a little effort, he forced Suzanne to stick close to the wall, and the hot breath almost enveloped her all over.
Why did he think that his ex-girlfriend was becoming more and more beautiful?
It seemed that since the two of them quarreled and she said that they broke up, she really left without any reluctance. When they saw each other again, it was at the Ferretti West Restaurant.
At that time, looking at the intimacy between Myron and Suzanne, Vito really thought that she had hooked up with the Follette family after breaking up with him, so he secretly sends someone to investigate it but there was nothing going on between them.
At that time, he felt that she had changed a lot and became more beautiful and charming. She had a temperament that was somewhat different from before. There was a kind of pride in her eyes that he had never seen before.
In the past, Suzanne had been very gentle. When she was with him, she had always been obedient. Whether it was when she studied in college or when she came out to work, she had a faint smile on her face. From time to time, she liked to act as a spoiled child.
In fact, Vito had a good impression of his ex-girlfriend. After all, he spent a year chasing after her. He got tired of Rae’s making trouble out of nothing and he missed the gentle Suzanne more and more.
Suzanne pressed herself against the wall. She didn’t want to spend too much time with him and rejected him in a cold voice. “Mr. Brown, I don’t think there’s much for us to talk about.”
“Suzanne, how come I didn’t realize you were so charming before?”
Vito smiled and slowly approached her. He pinched her chin and forced her to look up. “You have a good relationship with Myron, and now you’ve become Edwiin’s female companion, huh?”
Thinking of the scene of Suzanne holding Edwiin’s arm and entering the banquet hall, Vito felt a little upset and even jealous.
“How could a cunning businessman like Edwiin get everything so nice?”
His birth, career, appearance, and even the women around him were all very dazzling.
He was angry and jealous. He even wished he could pull Suzanne away from him.
This woman used to be his, and now she naturally belonged to him, too. How could that guy get his hands on her?
Suzanne slapped his hand away forcefully with a cold expression, pushed him away, and stood up straight. “Mr. Brown, has no one told you that touching others without greeting is very rude?”
“You are not others” Vito looked straight at her and said in a low voice, “We have known each other for so long.”
“Really? How can’t I recall it?” Suzanne sneered. “Mr. Brown, you’d better go back and spend some time with your girlfriend! Otherwise, she’ll accuse me of shamelessly hooking up with her boyfriend.”
Seeing Suzanne walk around him, Vito’s eyes darkened and he seemed a little unhappy. He stretched out his hand to grab her, but he didn’t expect that his wrist would be caught by someone in mid-air. The strength was so great that he frowned.
“Sir, didn’t you hear my friend ask you to let go?” The young man grabbed Vito’s wrist tightly, and there was a hint of disdain in his blue eyes. “If you touch her again, I won’t be polite.”
