I watched the flustered Oliver, who immediately stole a nce at Lauren to see her reaction.
I couldn''t help but feel the urge to burst intoughter. "Cut the crap, Arnold! Come on, everyone, take a seat!"
I pulled Poppy along with me. After all, she was my guest, too.
As soon as we sat down, the waiter brought the food out.
I saw Poppy look at her phone, trying to conceal her emotions. I nced at her phone screen and noticed that she was checking Arnold''s information.
But I knew there was no information about Ardie and Arnold online.
Still, I understood what she was doing. Poppy seemed desperate to marry into a wealthy family and was always prepared.
I could tell that As had arranged to meet Oliver for something important. But since Poppy was here, it wasn''t the right time to discuss anything serious.
I asked Oliver, "What time did you get back?"
Oliver nced at As. "As called me and said there was something urgent, so I rushed back. Otherwise, I was nning to return the day after tomorrow."
I turned back to As. "How about I get Ava from kindergartenter? You can discuss your business with Oliver."
As shook his head. "It''s fine. I''ll go with you. It''ll make her happy. We can discuss our business any time."
Arnold immediately looked at me and said, "I''lle with you to pick up Avater. You go deal with your business."
As looked at him. "Just do what you''re supposed to do. You don''t have to try to steal the spotlight."
Arnold, unyielding, retorted, "The moment you see my sister, you be all full of energy. She''s your wife, sure, but she''s also my sister. She can love you, but that doesn''t stop her from caring for me, does it? You can be domineering, but there should be a limit. You don''t own her."
"You said it right. She''s mine. Shut up and stop being annoying," As ruthlessly interrupted Arnold. "You should go home tonight."
"No way. My sister asked me to stay at Pleca Park... Chlo!" Arnold seemed genuinely anxious and looked at me for help.
I immediately tried to smooth things over. "That''s right. I asked him to stay at Pleca Park."
I still needed to ask him about Denton and Hana. How could I let him go back home?
Arnold regained his confidence as he saw me speak up for him. "You heard that, As."
As nced at him coldly. "You can stay for three days, but no more."
"Do you have the final say?" Arnold looked at As, taunting him..
Oliver paid no attention to the battle between them. He was wholly focused on serving Lauren and she, in turn, graciously epted. There was a softness in her eyes that made Oliver seem pleased Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
As was extremely attentive to me and obedient to my everymand, showering me with care. It must have been a boring meal for Poppy.
I tried to give her some attention. "Don''t worry about it, Poppy. They''re always like this. They pick fights with each other as soon as they meet."
Poppy smiled alluringly, ncing at As. "It''s okay, I''m enjoying this."
Arnold immediately offered her some food.
"You''d better not enjoy it too much It seems
awkward. Are people our agevel
couple or things will be too
Orth have to act like a
learning to be affectionate now?"
I could sense that Arnold''s words held a deeper meaning.
Poppy was quite the cunning one.
She definitely saw the current situation clearly. On one side was As, the dominant figure in the business district, and on the other side was the tycoon of Foswood. en.swhovels
As for the guy who never stopped talking, even Oliver seemed to respect him.
Poppy could definitely sense our dynamic. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have hurriedly searched for Arnold''s information on her phone.
She knew how important this circle was.
She acted dumb and smiled. "Thank you, Young Master Arnold."
"No, stop! Just call me Arnold. Anything else works, just not that. If my dad finds out, he''ll definitely give me an earful. Our family has some strict rules."
"I''ll call you Arnold, then!" Poppy was being very bold.
I couldn''t help but lift my eyes to look at her.
She was making a big deal out of nothing.
