Alia Miles felt a bit sympathetic towards Elena Soo.
She thought of Evan Miles’ daughter, whom she hadn’t seen in a long ti, and asked, "Where’s Tilly? That little cutie must have grown up quite a bit, right."
Upon hearing this, Elena Soo smiled softly, "Yes."
Her smile was sowhat forced. Alia Miles looked at her reticence and pursed her lips.
Elena Soo was now the stepmother, which was probably not easy to handle.
After all, Evan Miles’ family wasn’t just an ordinary family.
Evan Miles’ ex-wife was from the Collins Family.
The little girl Tilly was the granddaughter of the Collins Family.
Elena Soo trying to be a good stepmother in front of Tilly, from her perspective, wasn’t an easy task.
Especially since lody Lane from the Collins Family was around, and she wasn’t an easy person.
"Charlotte Soo, it’s almost noon. Let treat you to lunch, let’s bribe the leader and chat while we eat."
Elena Soo glanced at the ti, didn’t want to sit idly, and laughed.
Alia Miles had no objections and the two drove to a high-end restaurant.
Entering the restaurant, they found a window seat and sat down.
Elena Soo’s phone rang.
She asked Alia Miles to order, while she picked up her phone to take a look.
It was a call from Evan Miles.
Elena Soo answered the call, "Evan."
"Elena, where are you? I heard from Mom you’re out looking for a job?"
A gentle man’s voice ca through the line.
Elena Soo held her phone tightly and glanced at Alia Miles opposite, "Yes, I’m planning to work at Miles Corporation, now I’m having lunch with Charlotte."
Upon hearing this, Evan Miles fell silent for a mont and said, "I just returned ho and haven’t seen Elly in a long ti. Where are you eating, I’ll co join."
"You returned ho? Great, co on over, we’re at..."
Elena Soo ntioned the na of the restaurant and then hung up the phone.
Alia Miles ordered a few dishes and handed the nu to Elena Soo.
"Is Evan coming too?"
"Yes."
Elena Soo ordered a few more dishes.
Before long, Evan Miles arrived.
He wore a black casual coat with a light coffee-colored sweater underneath.
Still as handso and captivating as ever.
Alia Miles smiled, "Evan, long ti no see."
Evan Miles sat down next to Elena Soo, his dark eyes deeply watching Alia Miles, "Long ti no see, Elly, you’ve gotten more beautiful."
If Alia Miles was previously a budding flower, now she was a blossoming rose.
Radiant and captivating, making it hard to look away.
"Evan, you’re still such a gentleman."
Alia Miles glanced at Elena Soo, feeling a bit uneasy.
Afraid Elena Soo would overthink.
But Elena Soo appeared indifferent.
A woman, not feeling jealous of her husband’s thoughts being elsewhere, indicating their relationship wasn’t all that great.
Alia Miles drank her water quietly, her mind racing with thoughts.
"Elly, Tilly’s birthday is coming up soon. The family will host so guests. As her godmother, you will attend, right?"
Evan Miles looked at Alia Miles and asked.
Alia Miles was startled and quickly nodded, "Of course, she’s my goddaughter, how could I not go?"
She hadn’t seen the little darling in quite so ti and missed her quite a bit.
Evan Miles laughed and poured water for Alia Miles with the teapot.
Alia Miles glanced at Elena Soo, noticing her water cup was almost empty, and quickly winked at Evan Miles.
This man, his wife was right beside him, couldn’t he take care of his own wife first?
Evan Miles caught her hint, glanced at Elena Soo, and then filled her cup with water.
"Thank you."
Elena Soo, who was listening to their conversation, politely thanked.
The attitude was truly not intimate.
Alia Miles sipped her water, observing this and that, feeling a bit anxious.
She knows both of them and naturally hopes they are well.
But seeing this situation, should she perhaps talk to Evan Miles privately tomorrow?
Amidst her chaotically drifting thoughts, Alia Miles inadvertently glanced and saw a group of people entering from not far away.
Among them, a tall figure imdiately caught everyone’s attention.
Who else could it be but Damon Hawke?
Accompanying him were Andrew King and his wife, along with so unfamiliar people.
And there was a woman next to Damon Hawke.
Alia Miles blinked and her gaze fell on the woman beside him.
The woman was stylishly dressed and was holding Damon Hawke’s arm.
They seed to be talking about sothing as they walked directly towards the private room.
From start to finish, Damon Hawke hadn’t let go of her hand!
Ha!
What was going on?
Was Damon Hawke planning to do sothing behind her back?
"Elly, what are you looking at? The dishes have arrived, let’s eat."
Evan Miles saw Alia Miles was in a daze and called her.
Alia Miles snapped back, smiled, and said, "I saw soone I know, going over to say hello. You two enjoy, don’t mind ."
She was going to see for herself who this woman daring to hold her husband’s arm was.
Alia Miles quickly headed to the private room.
Evan Miles watched her departing silhouette intently, a trace of forlornness in his eyes.
She had changed, beco so radiant.
Yet no longer belonged to him.
All he could do was admire from the sidelines, unable to do anything else.
"Evan, after returning this ti, when are you planning to go abroad again?"
Elena Soo drank so soup, searching for words to say.
"I won’t be going abroad for a while."
Evan Miles returned to his senses and glanced at Elena Soo, "Elena, I’ve been away, it’s been hard on you."
"It’s nothing."
Elena Soo smiled lightly and continued eating quietly.
Evan Miles gazed at her calm face, thinking of his mother’s complaints, a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes.
"Elena, do you really need to go out and find a job?"
His mother was very dissatisfied with him marrying Elena Soo.
Constantly nagging him to divorce her.
Unable to bear the nagging, he preferred to go abroad on business.
Thinking Elena Soo must have also suffered from his mother at ho, that’s why she decided to work.
"Evan, I’m still young, don’t want to beco a housewife."
Elena Soo answered quietly.
Evan Miles hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.
The two ate quietly, without any intimate couple interaction.
They seed accustod to this mode of interaction.
At that mont, Elena Soo’s phone rang.
She glanced at the incoming call, her brows knitted.
"I’ll take the call."
It’s her mother’s call.
Most certainly about her brother’s house purchase.
"Alright."
Evan Miles nodded indifferently, glanced in the direction Alia Miles left, eyebrows furrowing.
Elly ntioned running into a familiar person, who was that?
Inside the private room.
Damon Hawke withdrew the woman’s hand, his face expressionless.
All present were Kensington Family mbers.
Relatives on his father’s side.
Since he returned to his roots, he had to interact with the Kensington relatives.
His father Andrew King’s parents passed away young, leaving no siblings, the closest to him were cousin Daisy Clarke who was present today.
Daisy Clarke had saved his father in childhood, his father regarded her as a sister.
Thus, when Daisy Clarke’s daughter Mary Wayde returned to the country, Andrew King invited him to accompany.
And this Mary Wayde, had played with him as a child.
The two could be considered old acquaintances.
