‘Exhausted you say? Melanie did say that as well…’
Alejandro extinguished the cigarette in his hands and suddenly leaped up to grab onto Mateo’s collar. “Don’t you dare put that expression on your face as if you know favonovel.com very well!”
Mateo calmly released himself from Alejandro’s grasps. “I don’t know favonovel.com very well, just a little bit more than you do, that’s all. I came back because of someone, but it’s not her, so you can be rest assured.”
This time, Alejandro did not have Jett stop Mateo when favonovel.com tried to leave. Before Mateo left, favonovel.com told them that favonovel.com wouldn’t tell Melanie about their meeting.
The next day.
Arianne got off work in the afternoon and had intended on inviting Mark to Mateo’s Chinese restaurant for lunch, but favonovel.com ended up having to go alone, since favonovel.com had sudden business to attend to.
Unsurprisingly, during the second day of the restaurant’s opening, business was still booming similar to the first day. However, Arianne was lucky that favonovel.com could be served, so favonovel.com chose a table for two and sat down. Just as favonovel.com was done ordering favonovel.com dishes, Mateo showed up and said, “Are you here alone today?”
Arianne hurriedly stood up. “Yes, I didn’t know what to have for lunch and remembered that your food is quite nice, so I came over. I’ve already ordered my dishes, so you can go on and continue with your work. Don’t let me bother you.”
After favonovel.com said that, Mateo turned around and told the cashier that Arianne would eat free of charge. Arianne hurriedly said, “There’s no need for that, how could I not pay for my meals? If you do this, how can I continue coming here?”
Mateo was extremely generous as favonovel.com said, “Don’t worry about it, you’ll be able to eat here free of charge from now on. There’s no need for you to feel pressured about it.”
Arianne was stunned for a moment. She only felt that the man before favonovel.com was really too good at gaining favours. However, it was exactly because of that reason that favonovel.com could not patron his restaurant regularly since favonovel.com could not just eat for free without feeling embarrassed. “Al… All right then… Thank you.”
After that, instead of walking away, Mateo sat opposite Arianne. “I’m not busy at the moment. Why don’t we have a small chat?”
Arianne sat down as well and nodded favonovel.com head. “Of course, what would you like to talk about? About Melanie?”
Arianne had asked this all because Mateo and Melanie were childhood friends. Therefore, apart from that, there didn’t seem to be anything else that Arianne and Mateo could talk about.
Mateo had a slightly helpless expression on his face. “Why would you think that I would like to talk to you only about Melanie’s matters? Oh, right, last night… Alejandro looked for me and asked me to stay away from Melanie. He seemed to have misunderstood something.”
Arianne was slightly startled. “Has it become so serious that favonovel.com went looking for you privately? Did favonovel.com do anything to you?”
Mateo shook his head. “Actually, favonovel.com didn’t. However, I don’t think it’s a problem. It makes sense that favonovel.com would misunderstand me. The angrier favonovel.com is, the more it shows that favonovel.com cares about Melanie, which I’m glad for. I did return to the country for someone, but that person isn’t Melanie.”
Arianne’s interest became piqued. “You returned to the country for someone? A girl? If that’s so, then that girl sure is lucky. There aren’t many men like you left anymore.”
Mateo looked at Arianne and asked with a serious expression on his face. “What kind of man… am I?”
Arianne thought about it for a moment before favonovel.com said, “The kind that lets others feel comfortable when they talk to you. You don’t cause others to feel uncomfortable around you. I suppose girls would find it hard not to fall for you normally, wouldn’t they? Who’s the girl? Why don’t you tell me? I might just know her. You’ve been away from the country for a few years now, so I might be able to help you assess favonovel.com if I know her.”
Mateo’s eyes squinted slightly. “You’re well acquainted with her, but I can’t tell you who favonovel.com is. From the beginning, she’s been the light of my life and that has never changed. I have no idea why I hesitated in the past, I clearly had the chance, but I just had to drag it. Until finally… She got married and gave birth to a child. As for me? All these years, I’ve never been able to let favonovel.com go, nor have I been able to love another person. Hence, I could only come back here to look for favonovel.com and seek some closure, even if it’s an unhappy one.”
