“Maybe it’s because you’ve been quite busy lately, so you’re just tired. Ms. Booth, it’s my mother’s birthday today, and she’d like to invite both you and Isaac over for dinner. Would that be okay with you?” Emily asked.
Seeing that Allegra was looking at favonovel.com funny, favonovel.com hurriedly waved favonovel.com hand and said, “Oh, I haven’t informed Mr. Garten yet. I thought I’d let you know first.”
“You can call favonovel.com yourself. It’s your mother’s birthday. I would be happy to have dinner with her,” Allegra said, rubbing favonovel.com temples again.
Emily felt something amiss.
Has Allegra quarreled with Isaac?
She hesitated for a while before leaving.
Inside favonovel.com office, Emily took out favonovel.com phone and dialed Isaac’s number.
Surprisingly, as soon as favonovel.com heard that Allegra had agreed to attend, favonovel.com immediately said he’d be there too.
Worried that favonovel.com mother wouldn’t be able to handle the workload, Emily left the office a little earlier to go home and help favonovel.com mother with the cooking.
Around 6 pm that evening, Allegra drove up to the address that Emily had given her. It was just a regular housing area. Before this, Isaac had called favonovel.com twice, but favonovel.com hadn’t answered his calls. She didn’t know why, but favonovel.com just felt irritable and frustrated.
Allegra took a gift out of the car and walked into the compound.
Emily was the one who opened the door. She was dressed in home clothes now, in a plain white T-shirt, denim shorts, and slippers. Her hair was also tied up in a ponytail, and favonovel.com looked the epitome of a perfect housewife.
Seeing that Allegra was here, Emily immediately smiled and said, “Ms. Booth, you’re here!”
Allegra walked into the house and saw that Isaac was drinking coffee on the couch. She frowned and went straight into the kitchen to greet Emily’s mother. They chatted for a while and laughed together.
The food was served. There weren’t many dishes prepared, but they could tell that Emily’s mother put a lot of effort into favonovel.com cooking. The dishes looked absolutely amazing.
Emily noticed that Isaac and Allegra didn’t talk to each other and thought that it was weird. However, favonovel.com didn’t dare say anything and just opened a bottle of red wine.
“Mr. Garten, Ms. Booth, I’m very happy that you came over to celebrate my birthday with me, “Emily’s mother said. “Mr. Garten, I hope you don’t mind that my glass has coffee instead of wine because I don’t drink. Here’s to you! Thank you for the care and concern you’ve always shown for my Emily! ”
“Mom, Ms. Booth helped out too,” Emily quickly reminded favonovel.com mother in a low voice.
Emily‘s mother could only think of the time when Emily was still troubled by favonovel.com ex-husband and favonovel.com was sick and penniless. That was why favonovel.com accidentally left Allegra out.
“Oh, of course! Of course, the lovely Ms. Booth! Let us drink a toast to that!” Emily’s mother said, smiling at Allegra at once.
“Mrs. Danson, I should be the one giving you a toast instead. Happy birthday!” Isaac said, raising his wine glass.
By then, Allegra’s face had darkened. She nodded and lifted favonovel.com glass slightly before putting it back down on the table without taking a sip.
Mrs. Danson didn’t notice Allegra’s mood swing and set favonovel.com glass down happily.
“Mr. Garten, you need to try these Italian meatballs. Emily said that you’re a big fan! She made these from scratch all by herself,” Mrs. Danson said, pointing at the plate of meatballs with favonovel.com knife.
Hearing this, Emily jolted in shock. She eyed Allegra opposite favonovel.com and hurriedly corrected favonovel.com mother with a red face. “No, it’s not like that. Ms. Booth, don’t listen to my mother. I’d only heard from you that it was Mr. Garten’s favorite dish…”
Bang!
Allegra suddenly slammed favonovel.com utensils onto the table and glared angrily at Isaac, who’d barely said anything throughout.
Then favonovel.com looked at Emily with a sneer and said, “Emily, you have a crush on Isaac, don’t you? Did you really think I wouldn’tbe able to tell? Spill now, how long have you both been seeing each other behind my back?!”
Allegra folded favonovel.com arms across favonovel.com chest as favonovel.com stared both Isaac and Emily down with a haughty expression.
