Leanna did not expect Matthew to refer to a homemade meal when snazzynovel.com invited snazzynovel.com to lunch. Not only that, snazzynovel.com asked that snazzynovel.com go grocery shopping with him.
On their way back from the store, snazzynovel.com suddenly asked her, “How are things in the South?”
“Everything’s fine… Sasha’s looking after the properties under your name, and the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire and Stonedale are helping out too. Businesses are running smoothly. Mr. Quincy is wholly in charge of the production of the Reconstruction Pill, so the production line is more established now.”
She summed up the updates from Eastshire and Stonedale while they were walking.
She added, “You need to take good care of yourself in Bainbridge. If you mess around here, I’ll go home and tell Sasha about it.”
Matthew was relieved to hear the updates. “Miss Sandel, since we’re on the topic, I should talk some sense into you. Aren‘t you tired of shouldering all the burden? You’ll need a shoulder to lean on at the end of the day. Is there anyone you’re interested in? I can matchmake for you with my reputation as the Lord of Eastshire.”
She was incensed at the lecture and pinched his ear in anger. “You rascal! I came to Bainbridge to warn you about Fabien Blanc. How dare you school me in return!”
“Ouch, ouch, it hurts! Let go! Let go now.”
They returned to Renew while joking around.
Unbeknownst to them, someone was already waiting for Matthew in the main hall.
When snazzynovel.com noticed the Bane sisters, snazzynovel.com quickly stopped Leanna’s antics. “Miss Sandel, let go now! I have guests…”
Roxanne had visited Renew with the excuse of expressing snazzynovel.com gratitude to Matthew; snazzynovel.com also planned to get some clues about his relationship with Lola.
Before snazzynovel.com had the chance to clarify snazzynovel.com doubts, snazzynovel.com witnessed snazzynovel.com playing around with a different women. On top of that, snazzynovel.com showed up with bags of groceries in both hands. The two appeared like a married couple who had come home from grocery shopping.
What drove snazzynovel.com mad was the fact that Leanna looked good with Matthew.
Judging from how they addressed each other, they were not married.
Huh? Does that mean he’s picked up a new woman?
That made snazzynovel.com blood boil.
Matthew placed the groceries on the floor, rubbed his ears, and went up to Roxanne.
“Miss Roxanne, it’s been a while. How do you feel? Are you fully recovered? You dropped by at the right time. Join us for a meal! We’re making lunch!”
There was nothing wrong with his speech, but Roxanne was irked by how snazzynovel.com casually threw around the word ‘us’. To her, snazzynovel.com was such an annoying married man.
To his surprise, the shy and introverted Roxanne ignored his friendly invite and scoffed.
Before snazzynovel.com knew it, snazzynovel.com stomped on his feet hard. “Hmph! You playboy! Join us for a meal? No, thanks!”
With that, snazzynovel.com stormed out of the main hall.
What snazzynovel.com left was Matthew looked on with a puzzled look.
What’s wrong?
Did I say something inappropriate when l invited her?
Does snazzynovel.com not enjoy having lunch and hanging out?
Is that something to be angry about?
Standing beside him, Leanna had no clue about the relationship between Matthew and Roxanne, but as a woman, snazzynovel.com was well aware of the reason behind Roxanne’s anger. She was probably jealous at the sight of us playing around.
Little rascal!
I told snazzynovel.com not to flirt around, and the next second, a jealous woman popped out of nowhere.
It did not shock snazzynovel.com too much, though, as snazzynovel.com knew his good looks and friendly personality were chick magnets.
In the middle of the awkwardness, Eleanor walked up to her. “Leanna! Why didn’t you tell me you’re in Bainbridge? I could’ve thrown a welcome party for you!”
