Sir Please Mellow Down A Bit Chapter 427
Chapter 427 Anyone but You
Lyra had an innocent and surprised look on her face. It almost made people think that she really didn't know anything and all of this was just a coincidence. Ellie gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to explode, she saw that the person sitting at the same table as Lyra was Xuanze. Before she returned to the country, she had sent someone to discuss cooperation with his company, but she had been rejected. He was actually close to Lyra now, eating at the same table.
"The ex-wife you are pursuing doesn't seem to want to continue her relationship with you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have eaten with other men."
She deliberately provoked Hank. If they all thought that Lyra was a promiscuous person, they would definitely not pursue her. At that time, Lyra would not be able to get preferential treatment everywhere.
"I know."
Hank looked calm.
Lyra had told him many times about that.
"You know, but you are still so calm?" Ellie looked surprised. "Didn't I follow Miss Hunter out to see your parents? We're all adults, there's no need to make things so complicated," said Hank. Ellie's face was filled with anger. She didn't believe that it was just a coincidence.
Lyra ate peacefully as if no one was watching her every move. "Mr. Evans, why aren't you eating? Is it not to your liking?"
Hearing this, Xuanze picked up his chopsticks. They continued to eat, not giving any face to Hank at all. However, the man only had a usual cold expression on his face. He was not as angry as Ellie.
"I'm already trying my best to help you. I can understand that you are in a bad mood now that you are being sued." Ellie took a deep breath and recovered. She looked at Hank beside her. "If Mr. Barnwell wants to stay, then please go ahead. I still have to go upstairs to accompany my parents. I won't accompany you anymore." Fortunately, today's test was over. Although it was a bit unpleasant, at least Hank had followed her here.
However, she had no choice but to give up on the plan for the night. Ellie took two steps forward and then turned back to look at Lyra and Xuanze. Finally, her gaze fell on Xuanze.
She turned around and walked into the elevator. She immediately took out her phone. "Help me find all the information about Xuanze right away. Hurry up."
Since she could not get Hank's favor, she would start with Lyra. At first glance, she knew that Xuanze liked her. "She's gone. Why are you still standing here? It'll affect my appetite if someone unrelated shows up in front of me," Lyra said coldly. She was already ordering him to leave. However, Hank seemed not to understand. He pulled out a chair and sat down beside her.
He saw that she liked to eat the chestnut ribs very much, so he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece for her. "Eat more. You have lost weight recently." His movements were so familiar and ambiguous.
Lyra frowned and was about to refuse when she saw that Hank was tilting his head and smiling at her. "No one invited you to sit down."
"I know."
His answer was as calm as when he was facing Ellie. Lyra's unwilling expression was reflected in his usually cold eyes. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. She wanted to throw a tantrum at him, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. How had he become so thick-skinned now? She just thought this and didn't say it out loud, but he seemed to be able to read her thoughts.
He turned to look at Xuanze, "Mr. Evans should still have something to do. Can you leave the situation to me?" "She has the right to choose who to eat with." The two men looked at Lyra at the same time. She tightened her grip on her chopsticks and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, Mr. Evans. You've been delayed for so long. I'll treat you to another meal another day." "She knows that you are busy. And you two don't have such a good relationship." Hank said directly from the side.
Xuanze was still smiling like a gentleman. "I will be free for you at any time. Today, I will take my leave."
As he said this, he picked up his suit jacket and walked out. Lyra felt a little guilty. After all, it was she who had forced Xuanze to stay for so long, but in the end, he did not eat well. After he left, the atmosphere between her and Hank became a little complicated. "Are you full?"
He was very close to her, and his cold eyes were staring straight at her.
Lyra's heart was beating fast. "Aren't you going to be the Hunters' son-in-law? Weren't you afraid of getting your points deducted from your performance in front of them just now? Or do you want me to go over and make it clear to them now that we are divorced and you are still pestering your ex-wife?" "You know very well that I'm pestering you." Hank raised his eyebrows.
"Move aside, I want to go out," Lyra was forced to retreat. "Sure."
He got up first and made way for her. Lyra walked out quickly and went straight to the front desk to pay the bill. However, she was told that it had already been paid. "Is it Mr. Evans who just left?" Lyra thought in her heart that she owed Xuanze another favor. However, the waiter looked at the bill and shook his head. "It was Mr. Barnwell who
paid."
"This favor is on me." Hank walked over with his coat and naturally put his clothes on her shoulder.
"Anyway, you owe me more than this." "Don't follow me!" Lyra said coldly. She took off her coat and stuffed it back into his hands.
However, the more she hid, the more Hank chased after her. He even followed her outside to take a taxi.
"There aren't many taxis here. I'll send you off." The night wind blew gently against Lyra's hair. She opened her mouth and said in a cold voice, "Have you ever heard of a saying that late love is even more despicable than grass?" Hank looked at her and did not say a word.
"To me, you have indeed helped me a lot, but I did not beg you to do those things. I do not want to owe you anything. Do you understand?" Lyra used almost all her strength when she said this. She tightened her grip.
"I don't want to bet on my life to believe you anymore, because every time you appear by my side, you will make me waver." She smiled bitterly, tears falling uncontrollably.
"I really am not smart enough to see through you. So, don't provoke me. I don't want to rely on you to live. Anyone may walk into my life, but you, no."
