Chapter 65: Bryan Encounters Problems Everywhere
Mildred went next to Shirley with an excited face, “Hit her, this bad woman, she’s too evil.”
Shirley frowned and subconsciously looked towards Jacob. However, little Jacob was an obedient boy.
He looked totally like a good little boy.
Maybe she was just thinking too much.
Sabina was so popular right now, it was highly likely that she was being stalked by the reporters or her
haters.
However, where is Bryan?
Didn’t he come together with her?
“Oh yes, where is Mr. Moore?” Mildred was also feeling confused, “Mr. Moore came for the meal
together with her, did he have the heart to leave her there by herself to be berated?”
Shirley put down her phone, her expression a lot calmer, “The dishes have arrived, let’s eat. The dishes
here are pretty good.”
Mildred raised her eyes to gaze at her, reached out to her phone and lowered the volume of the live
telecast.
After watching for ten minutes, she realized that Bryan was nowhere in sight from beginning till the end.
Mildred frowned slightly, and turned to look at those next to her, “Shirley, could we have misunderstood
him, I feel that the reason he brought that woman to Phoenix Restaurant wasn’t as simple as just a
meal.”
“If not for a meal, what else would a man and a woman be doing at a restaurant?” The image of Bryan
and Sabina’s backs surfaced in Shirley’s mind, and the anger she had been suppressing started
bubbling inside of her.
At the moment, Mildred went in front of her and poked Shirley’s cheek with her finger, “Still saying that
you aren’t moved by him, you actually care so much about him.”
Shirley’s body froze and she turned and looked at Mildred, “What are you talking about, I simply hate
people who lie to me. He said he was going outstation yesterday, and would only be back in a few
days, but today afternoon we see him here. What do you think he means, he’s already an adult but still
lying to people, is this fun for him?”
Mildred didn’t dare to speak anymore after Shirley’s rant. She retracted back to her seat, picked up her
chopsticks and continued eating.
Shirley inhaled deeply, put down her chopsticks and stood up.
Emma raised her head to look at her, “Mummy, what do you wanna do?”
“Mummy is heading to the washroom, do you want to come along.”
“Alright.” Seeing that her mummy was in such a bad mood, she would accompany her mum. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Hmph, it’s all because of that bad daddy, how dare he lie to mummy. Even she didn’t bear to lie to her
mummy.
Emma slid down from her chair and walked to Shirley, reaching out to clasp Shirley’s fingers.
Mother and daughter walked to the door of the room.
Shirley pulled open her door, held Emma’s hand and walked out. However, when she was just about to
turn into the washroom, Emma raised her hand, pointed towards the table in front of them, and
exclaimed in surprise, “Mummy, mummy, look, it’s daddy.”
Shirley stopped in her tracks, and turned around, glancing furiously at the direction Emma was pointing
at.
Bryan slowly put down menu that was blocking his face. His handsome face showed a slight smile, his
gaze carried a hint of laughter.
Sitting on his left was Jordan, who immediately stood up, his hands behind his back, respectfully said,
“Good morning, Dr. Thomas.”
Emma immediately frowned, and retorted, “It’s not early anymore, mummy and I have even finished our
lunch.”
Jordan awkwardly lowered his head and looked at Bryan.
Bryan gave him a cold glare, and Jordan immediately went back to his seat.
Shirley looked away, not wanting to further entangle herself in this situation, she carried Emma in her
arms and headed to the washroom.
After finishing up in the washroom, Shirley brought Emma to wash her hands.
When she carried her child and came out from the washroom, she realized Bryan had come over.
He stood in front of the entry of the male toilet, in one hand was a cigarette, another hand in his pocket,
his body leaning against a wall.
Shirley stopped in her tracks, after glancing at him, she walked out from the female washroom.
Not three steps later, Bryan walked over quickly, blocking her path.
His height of 1.85m towered against her 1.65m, she felt extremely little next to him, especially because
she wasn’t wearing her heels.
She breathed silently, hugging Emma she retracted a huge step, and looked up at him. Her lips raised
in a sarcastic smile, she said, “Bryan, what do you want now?”
“I have something to talk to you about.”
“Then let’s wait till I go to work to talk about it. Oh right, your assistant mentioned to me yesterday that
you will be outstation for a few days, so I won’t be heading over to Splendour Manor these few days. I’ll
wait for you to be back from outstation.” Shirley said this with a slight smile on her lips, her sarcasm
was obvious. After that she added meaningfully, “Five days, five days should be enough, I can also
take a rest and take care of the kids, Emma, say goodbye to uncle.”
Emma turned around, blinked her huge eyes, raised her little hand and said, “Bye bye uncle.”
“Bye-bye uncle” felt like a knife slicing through his heart, especially when he knew there was a
possibility that the two children belonged to him. “Uncle” felt especially difficult on his ears.
His lips tugged, when he was about to open his mouth, a little shadow appeared from another direction.
Jacob walked over to his side with his hands in his pocket, stopped and asked him, “Uncle, what are
you doing?”
Hearing the call of uncle, Bryan’s frown deepened, “I came to the washroom.”
“Oh.” Jacob walked towards Shirley, and said, “Mummy, wait for me for a second, I’ll be done in a bit.”
Shirley narrowed her eyes, extremely satisfied with Jacob’s performance, “Be quick, I’ll wait here for
you.”
Jacob replied with a quick “alright”, and turned to look at Bryan, “Uncle, aren’t you going in?”
“Going!” Bryan glared at Shirley, extremely unhappy to have to enter the washroom together with
Jacob.
When the both of them came out, Shirley led her son back to the room, leaving Bryan behind.
Bryan couldn’t taste his meal at all.
After entering the room for ten minutes, Shirley led the two kids and another woman out of the
restaurant.
Bryan didn’t have the appetite for food anymore, he gave Jordan a cold glance, “Give Dr. Thomas a call
tonight to tell her that my work has been cancelled, and get her to come back to Splendour Manor for
work.”
Finishing his sentence, Bryan rose and left.
Jordan gave a sigh, looked at the table of food, there were even still three sets of eating utensils.
Why did Mr. Moore bring this upon himself?
After Mildred got on the car, she turned over to look at Bryan who was leaving the restaurant. She
reached out to shake Shirley’s arms, “Why did that Mr. Moore come over to eat here?”
“Mildred, your attention today seems to have gone too far.” While reversing her car, Shirley took a few
more looks at the silhouette in her rearview mirror.
Seeing he had another cigarette in hand, she frowned unconsciously.
Since seeing him in the washroom just now, she realized that he had always had a cigarette in hand.
She had never realized he was a chain smoker in the past.
Once she was done reversing, Bryan walked over, Shirley quickly turned her steering wheel, made a
turn around him, and drove away in a huff.
Bryan’s face darkened immediately, this woman…
