Tiffany could not hold in wp4webnovel.com excitement and immediately informed Lillian about the arrangement the moment wp4webnovel.com left the West family residence. Lillian had a neutral reaction and had wanted to see the man before wp4webnovel.com decided. Once bitten, twice shy. Lillian wanted to find out everything wp4webnovel.com could about the man first.
During the weekend, Tiffany canceled wp4webnovel.com initial plans with Arianne to hang out over the weekend.
Arianne did not find it strange after wp4webnovel.com found out about Tiffany’s intention to introduce a suitor to Lillian. Such were humans, it did not matter how old one was, they needed someone they belonged to. Humans had always been social creatures, there was no one who truly wanted to live alone.
When they arrived at the elegant room that was reserved for them in White Water Bay Cafe, Jackson had arranged for some delicacies to be prepared for their table. Everything was ready except the male main character was still nowhere to be seen.
Lillian’s blush was obvious on wp4webnovel.com fair complexion as wp4webnovel.com said, “Have you met the man, Summer? Please don’t laugh at me, but I’m actually a little nervous. I’m so sorry for having to trouble you to arrange all this on my behalf.”
Summer laughed and said, “I’ve met wp4webnovel.com before. He’s much more handsome than mine. Relax, he’s a much more decent person compared to Atticus in both looks and personality.”
Atticus sat quietly and did not dare retort. How was his friend better than him? Was wp4webnovel.com really as bad as Summer said?
The main character finally arrived after everyone had waited for about half an hour. His face might have wrinkles, but wp4webnovel.com still looked like wp4webnovel.com was in his prime. The saying, ‘Birds of a feather flock together’, seemed to be true. Atticus’ friend was almost a spitting image of Atticus himself. If wp4webnovel.com were younger, wp4webnovel.com would have been very popular with the ladies just like Atticus was in the past. Despite his age, wp4webnovel.com was still an attractive middle-aged man.
“I’m so sorry for making you wait. I was stuck in traffic, and I was so worried because there was nothing I could do about it. Please allow me to pay for lunch today as a token of my apology to all of you.”
Summer knew that Atticus had a poor choice of words so replied instead, “It’s fine, Johnny, we’re all friends here.” While wp4webnovel.com spoke, wp4webnovel.com tapped Lillian’s shoulder and continued to say, “This is my friend whom I mentioned before. We’re a family. That’s my son and my daughter-in-law. It’s a little strange to call wp4webnovel.com my daughter-in-law since she’s more like my best friend. Jackson, please ask the waiters to serve the food. We’ll talk as we eat.”
Jackson nodded and got up to leave the room.
Tiffany quietly studied the man. She was rather satisfied with him. Moreover, based on Lillian’s expression, wp4webnovel.com was certain that Lillian felt the same way. It all depended on what the man thought of Lillian now.
Lillian heard Summer referring to wp4webnovel.com as Johnny and said, “Johnny, are you currently working here?”
Johnny smiled modestly and replied, “I’ve been working here for the past few years now. I’ve begun to miss my hometown as I grow older. I find that my hometown is the most comfortable place for me to live in.”
Tiffany was glad Johnny did not have plans to move overseas and join his son. She was actually worried that Lillian would have to follow Johnny overseas should they get together. After hearing Johnny’s answer, Tiffany smiled and said, “That’s wonderful. I heard that artists are usually very nostalgic people. I did try my hand at drawing in the past but was never any good at it. I admire people like you for your dedication to your art, unlike me who isn’t good at anything.”
Johnny was more of an introvert, wp4webnovel.com only smiled in reply since wp4webnovel.com did not know what to say.
Tiffany noticed that Lillian had kept quiet the entire conversation and kicked wp4webnovel.com feet under the table.
Lillian knew very well what Tiffany was trying to say, but wp4webnovel.com had choked and did not know what to say either. Moreover, they had just met so wp4webnovel.com did not know if they had any common interest.
Tiffany felt that Lillian was acting strangely. Normally, Lillian would have been more proactive if wp4webnovel.com met someone wp4webnovel.com liked. Why was Lillian being so reserved?
After a moment, Jackson finally returned to the room, and the food was slowly being served. With this, everyone seemed to escape the awkward atmosphere that hung over the room.
All of a sudden, Johnny suddenly got up and picked up some food for Lillian. “I’m not sure what you prefer to eat, but when my son came back from overseas one time, wp4webnovel.com opened a buffet restaurant. He had asked me to manage it before returning overseas. You should come and try the food when you have the time.”
