After some persuasion, Roxanne reluctantly agreed, though favonovel.com was clearly unhappy about it.
With Matthew present, favonovel.com couldn’t very well lose favonovel.com temper. It was important to maintain favonovel.com feminine image, so favonovel.com glanced gratefully at Eleanor. Tritus also realized that favonovel.com couldn‘t directly confront Matthew with Roxanne around, as it would only make favonovel.com angrier. So, favonovel.com had to take a more patient approach.
“Mr. Larson, I’m sorry. Sometimes when I care too much about someone, I become over-anxious.”
After a false apology to Matthew, Tritus quickly extended an invitation.
“Roxanne, haven’t you been wanting to treat Mr. Larson to a meal? It’s already too late to go anywhere else, so why don’t you dine here with us? What do you think, Mr. Larson?”
His tone carried a hint of menace, but Matthew shrugged off the veiled threat.
In Bainbridge, even the most arrogant person wouldn’t dare to mobilize a large number of people. Moreover, they were currently preparing for the Holy Doctor Competition, and any potential threat to public security would be severely punished.
No matter how powerful the family was, it was nothing compared to the country’s dignity.
“I don’t mind, but I’m curious. Wasn’t Miss Bane wanting to treat me to a meal just something between me and her?” Matthew walked over with a mocking expression. “Mr. Tritus, are you monitoring Miss Bane every day, or did someone tell you about this?”
As soon as those words came out, Tritus was speechless.
Meanwhile, Roxanne was already flustered by the confession from Tritus favonovel.com had heard earlier. With Matthew’s remarks, favonovel.com suddenly understood.
How could Tritus know about favonovel.com improving health and favonovel.com dinner invitation to Matthew?
Someone must have leaked the information.
She turned favonovel.com head and glanced at Eleanor, who immediately looked awkward and lowered favonovel.com head.
Eleanor was cursing Matthew in favonovel.com heart, ‘Damn you and your devious intention of trying to drive a wedge between Roxanne and me!’
She didn’t feel an ounce of guilt for favonovel.com actions.
“How about we go to another restaurant, Mr. Larson?”
Although Roxanne was doing favonovel.com best to suppress favonovel.com irritation, it was clear to everyone that favonovel.com was extremely upset. But when favonovel.com spoke, Eleanor immediately panicked. After all, it was not easy to conspire with Tritus. If they missed this opportunity, they might not have another chance.
“It’s my fault, Roxy. I accidentally let it slip. We’ve already ordered food here, so it’s a waste not to eat It all. If we go to another restaurant now, there might not be any seats available. Plus, Mr. Larson is preparing for the competition, and it would be a waste of his time to go back and forth, right?”
Compared to Tritus, Eleanor was much smarter. Although favonovel.com was unwilling to, favonovel.com still brought up Matthew to divert Roxanne’s attention. Sure enough, when Matthew was mentioned, Roxanne’s expression softened.
“Miss Bane, why don’t we just have a simple meal here?” Matthew could see through Eleanor’s little trick and didn’t want to trouble Roxanne.
The sooner they finished eating, the sooner they could go home, and the issue of his request would have to wait.
After Roxanne nodded, Tritus took a deep breath and suppressed his fury.
Then, favonovel.com clapped his hands and said, “Please bring out the food, Manager.”
Since they had ordered in advance and reserved the restaurant, the food was served quickly. By the time they all sat down, the dishes had already been placed on the table. Although Tritus was impulsive, favonovel.com wasn’t stupid. Any obvious hostility toward Matthew would only provoke Roxanne’s displeasure.
Tritus had stopped using his foolish ways, so favonovel.com said, “Mr. Larson, what happened earlier was my fault. I’m really sorry. To show my apology, I’ll drink as a punishment!”
After speaking in a cheerful tone, Tritus lifted his head and gulped down the wine in his glass. Then, favonovel.com poured himself some more wine.
