Chapter 149: Chapter 149
Flora sat down with Robin at the McDonald's near Moonlight Hotel, consoling herself repeatedly. Eating junk food once shouldn't cause any problems for this pampered young master.
She didn't choose the McDonald's opposite Moonlight Hotel because she didn't want to run into acquaintances from the company, especially Kevin. So, she opted for the branch on the other side of the street, waiting for Chloe and Linda to arrive.
Before long, Chloe and Linda showed up. Chloe slammed her handbag on the table and exclaimed, "Damn Flora! You disappear for so long, and when you come back, you treat us to McDonald's? Damn it! You have the nerve to say that!"
Flora gestured with her chin towards Robin and chuckled, "He loves it. Just bear with it."
"Hey? This child is so handsome. Who is he?" Linda finally noticed Robin, reached out and unceremoniously cupped the handsome face that was busy eating. Examining him closely, she exclaimed, "Wow, he's handsome!"
Chloe was also drawn by Robin's charm. Opening her mouth, she said, "Why do I feel like I've seen him before? Have we met, little guy?" She bent down with Linda to scrutinize him.
Robin glared at the two bewildering people and couldn't take it anymore. He shouted, "Flora! Tell your two crazy friends to back off!" After yelling, he mischievously smeared the ketchup in his hand onto their clothes, scaring the two into squealing.
"Hey! This child looks like an angel but acts like a devil!" Chloe exclaimed, trying to wipe the ketchup carefully from her clothes.
"Who let you guys look at me like this!"Robin looked at the two of them in a messy state and burst into laughter.
Flora also chuckled beside him, saying, "Just bear with it. I've already been teased enough by him."
"Where did you get this devil from?" Linda asked curiously, she continued to scrutinize him. She was too curious; who could have a child that looked like this? He was like the incarnation of an angel!
Before Flora could answer, Linda reached out to pull him, joyfully saying, "What's good at McDonald's? Let me take you to eat something delicious. Um... how about having some specialty snacks at Moonlight Hotel?"
"No!" Flora shouted, hastily shaking her hands. "I don't want to go to Moonlight Hotel!" That damned Linda! She knew she had stayed at Moonlight Hotel before; how could she dare suggest going there?
But her protests fell on deaf ears.
Robin had indeed lost interest in the food on the table and asked with a smile, "Beautiful lady, do you have money? Are you as poor as Flora?"
"Of course not, and someone will foot the bill. Don't worry," Linda replied nonchalantly, looking at Chloe's dark expression. She chuckled and said, "Let's invite Mark to join us. He probably hasn't had lunch yet."
"Do you want to invite Alma as well?" Chloe rolled her eyes in annoyance. She couldn't stand Linda talking as if Mark were her boyfriend. When would she correct this misinformation?
Flora followed them to the door and urgently said, "Let's eat elsewhere, dear friends, please. I beg you." She was on the verge of tears. Unfortunately, Robin's interest was piqued.
"Give me a reason!" Linda, fed up with her complaints, turned around and stared at her with impatience.
Chloe glanced at her, sneered, and said sarcastically, "Do you need to ask? It's obviously to avoid Kevin. Rest assured, Kevin hasn't been in the hotel lately, probably dining with a different beauty every day outside."
Dining with a different beauty every day? Flora was surprised. She didn't expect Kevin to be so lively. She knew he had some female companions before, but she didn't expect him to be even more extravagant now, probably because he had become familiar with W City!
"Is Kevin okay now?" Flora couldn't help but ask. She hadn't seen him for many days and was still somewhat curious about him. After all, before she left, Kevin had been quite kind to her.
"He's doing well with beautiful women every day." Chloe understood her thoughts, and patted her shoulder comfortingly.
They arrived at the upscale restaurant of the Moonlight Hotel. When they were seated, Chloe snatched the menu from Flora's hand and pushed it towards Linda, saying, "Linda, you're in charge of ordering. Flora, it's time for you to explain everything to us!"
"What do you want me to explain?" Flora knowingly asked, timidly opening her mouth. She intended to obscure the matter because it was complicated. She knew Chloe and Linda must have been waiting for her explanation. That's why she decided to meet them. After all, they had always been good to her in the past, and she couldn't just leave without a word!
"You disappeared without a trace, only concerned about having fun with the legendary Mr. Maxwell. Did you want to drive me crazy?" Chloe complained with a hint of reproach. She remembered a few days ago when everyone was worried sick about her, even Kevin came to find her! But she had vanished without a word.
"Sorry, it's not like I wanted to..." Flora White apologetically interjected, explaining that she had been under the control of Maxwell ever since she was brought back to the Smith Family mansion. She had no way to contact the outside world at all. It was extremely difficult for her to escape today, and she had no idea what would happen when she returned to the Smith Family mansion in the evening. That lunatic would probably go mad again.
"By the way... Who exactly is Mr. Maxwell?" Linda asked curiously, raising her head from the menu.
"He's my Big Brother!" Robin called out impatiently. "Didn't you say you would treat me to something delicious? Why haven't you ordered anything? Women are so troublesome!"
"Oh, wow, you also think women are troublesome? Who taught you that?" Flora couldn't help but laugh, trying to divert everyone's attention.
Robin glanced at her and said, "Third Brother said that."
The legendary Third Young Master of the Smith Family? Flora was a little surprised. She had stayed in the Smith Family mansion for so long, but she had never met the Third Young Master. She wondered what he looked like. Was he as detestable as Maxwell? Or as elegant as Oliver?
