Chapter 91: Chapter 91
The man’s palm gently pinched the woman’s waist, his beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes: "How did you get so thin?"
"Let go of me..." The woman turned her head away, no longer looking into the man’s eyes.
Landon Lawson watched with interest as the woman’s face flushed with shyness. For some reason, he found this look rather cute, a playful gaze crossing his lips.
"President Lawson, President Quinn!"
Nolan Shaw walked over with the ice cream he had just bought, face full of excitement, but suddenly he froze, an invisible aura of hostility making him stand entirely still, watching as the two embraced. Landon Lawson turned his head, squinting his eyes at him, the coldness in his eyes making Nolan Shaw’s lips twitch slightly.
Holding the ice cream in his hand, he turned back, mumbling to himself as he walked: "Didn’t see anything, didn’t see anything."
Sienna Quinn stood straight, adjusting her clothes, glaring at Landon Lawson with displeasure, "President Lawson, don’t forget, we’re in public here. Is this really appropriate? Don’t let your so-called sister misunderstand again; I won’t be responsible then."
Watching her turn away with her arms crossed, for some reason, Landon Lawson actually felt this was Sienna’s jealousy. Could it be that she really cared about his relationship with Vera Yates?
If she did care, then does it mean she still has other feelings for him? New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoveI~Fire.net
"She’s just my sister. If you care so much, I can publicly explain my relationship with Vera Yates."
"Publicly? If you were willing to do that, why didn’t you do it last time?" Sienna mocked, surely he didn’t think a few words could deceive her.
A wife of five years lying on the operating table undergoing surgery, while the husband was next door with another woman, is this what a man would do?
Sienna’s indifferent gaze made Landon Lawson’s brow furrow slightly.
Evan Quinn spoke quietly, casting a somewhat dissatisfied glance at Landon Lawson.
Because of this unpleasant conversation, the two didn’t speak for the rest of the afternoon.
Eventually, it was dinner time, and the four of them were dining at the largest revolving restaurant in the city.
Evan Quinn sat in the middle, facing Nolan Shaw, who looked rather uneasy, stuck in a predicament between Landon Lawson and Sienna.
Sienna’s phone was vibrating non-stop, causing Landon Lawson, who was dining across from her, to frown slightly: "President Quinn is so busy? Even during meals, your phone doesn’t stop ringing. Someone might mistake HR Group for being yours."
Sienna didn’t even lift her head, smiling coldly: "Us wage earners are naturally different from big CEOs. After all, we still need to eat."
The sour words made Landon Lawson put down his knife and fork, looking at Sienna who hadn’t taken a single bite, fully focused on her phone.
He exchanged a glance with Evan Quinn, the latter knowingly taking out his phone, and the two started texting each other.
"Does she often play with her phone instead of eating?"
"Sometimes when work is busy, she handles it on her phone."
"Does this happen often?"
Landon Lawson’s grip on the phone gradually tightened.
Did Axel Yates really think of his wife as a money-making machine? Couldn’t he even ensure normal rest periods?
Landon Lawson pushed the already cut steak in front of Sienna.
She held her phone, looking at the steak, "What? Afraid I’ll seriously work, worried HR Group might be taken over by us?"
Landon Lawson frowned, and while she was unprepared, he snatched Sienna’s phone.
"What are you doing?"
Sienna frowned, about to snatch the phone back, but Landon Lawson simply turned it off and tucked it inside his jacket.
"You’ll get it back after you eat!"
The man brought Sienna’s uncut steak in front of him and repeated his actions, carefully cutting it.
Sienna squinted her eyes, glaring intently at Landon Lawson, but his indifferent expression remained unchanged.
"Did you let Chloe acknowledge me as his father just to see our disharmonious relationship?"
Sienna turned her head, looking at Evan Quinn’s chubby face, eyes clear and pure, staring dumbfounded at the two of them.
Feeling torn, she wanted him to have a father, to let him have a complete childhood, with both paternal and maternal love, not lacking a half in a single-parent family.
"Mommy will eat, okay." Saying this, she picked up the knife and fork, eating aggressively, her gaze fiercely glaring at Landon Lawson.
Sienna began to doubt whether letting Landon acknowledge Evan made life easier for Evan or for him.
The man lowered his gaze, only to see a chubby little hand beside him, giving him a thumbs up.
Looking at the photo on the phone, the man in the baseball cap quietly exited the restaurant.
The handsome man sitting at another table was chatting with a friend, his long, slender fingers standing out prominently, always cautious even while eating.
He wouldn’t let the knife and fork harm the skin on his hands.
"Today’s surgery was fortunate to have Dr. Grant, otherwise, I really don’t know what we’d do."
"We’re colleagues, just lending a hand." Miles Grant smiled gently, his voice soft, and the way he cut his steak was unique, almost like holding a scalpel.
A subtle, elusive smile always hung on his lips, but it never reached his eyes.
"Hey? Isn’t that Landon Lawson over there?" One of the men looked at Miles Grant, then over to Landon Lawson at a nearby table.
Miles Grant turned his head, actually seeing him, his lips twitching lightly; what a coincidence to see him here.
"I’m going to say hello!" Miles Grant stood up. Having been friends with Landon Lawson for many years, both busy with work, they hadn’t met in a while.
"Yes, Dr. Grant and President Lawson have been friends since childhood."
Everyone chuckled, genuinely some can only mingle with similar people, one being a business elite, the other a medical elite, and these two had been friends for years.
Miles Grant smiled, nodding lightly, and walked towards Landon Lawson’s direction.
Since her phone had been taken, Sienna was silently sulking and eating without making a sound.
"President Lawson, long time no see!"
The cool voice rung beside Sienna’s ear.
Landon Lawson looked up at Miles Grant standing before him, laughing softly: "Dr. Grant, what a coincidence to see you here. I thought you’d still be working overtime at the hospital."
Seeing Miles Grant, Landon Lawson’s mood improved.
Miles Grant turned, smiling as he said: "Who is President Lawson dining with? There’s even a girl here, aren’t you afraid Vera might get upset?"
Humor in his tone, but upon seeing the woman’s familiar face, his pupils widened in shock!
