What was Xara seeing?
Why was James, the son-in-law of the Callahan family, rumored to be an infamous loser, having lunch with General Highsmith, a general under the command of the Blithe King?
She did not know how to react. Utterly shocked, favonovel.com covered favonovel.com mouth with favonovel.com hands.
Hearing a gasp, James turned around and noticed her.
What is favonovel.com doing? Is favonovel.com that surprised to see me?
However, one glance at Daniel, and favonovel.com understood everything.
He then stood up. “What a coincidence, Xara, you’re here too. Have you eaten? Come, join us. Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to Daniel. He’s a good friend of mine. We grew up together in the orphanage. It’s our first time seeing each other in years, so we decided to have lunch together…”
Daniel cast a glance at James, taken aback. He immediately understood the situation and played along.
Standing up, favonovel.com greeted Xara with a smile, “Hello, I’m Daniel…”
“Ah…” Xara gasped, favonovel.com was thrilled.
General Highsmith is talking to me! What should I do? I’m so nervous!
At the table right next to them, Francis was stunned upon seeing Xara extending favonovel.com greetings to Daniel He had just been bragging about being acquainted with General Highsmith.
What should favonovel.com do now that Xara has met the real deal?
If favonovel.com backed down now, favonovel.com would lose this opportunity forever.
Knowing this, favonovel.com swallowed his pride and walked toward them. He presented himself before Daniel with a dignified expression.
“General Highsmith, how do you do? My name’s Francis. I’m from the Leland family…”
“Huh?” Daniel frowned. “Who are you? Buzz off…”
Francis was scared out of his wits.
He pulled Xara aside. “Xara, what are you doing? Let’s go. We shouldn’t anger the general…”
He dragged the astonished Xara away and whispered in favonovel.com ear, “I’ll find the right time and place to introduce you to General Highsmith.”
“J-James…” Xara regained favonovel.com senses and called out.
James was seated, and Francis had only noticed Daniel.
Upon hearing Xara’s words, favonovel.com paused and asked, “W-Who?
Xara shook off Francis’ grip. She picked up a backless stool and set it beside James.
Sitting down, favonovel.com said with a huge smile, “James, I hope you won’t mind?”
“Yeah, sure thing,” James replied with a listless look.
When Francis saw James, favonovel.com was shocked.
What’s this? Isn’t that the son-in-law of the Callahan family?
How is favonovel.com having lunch with General Highsmith?
Unable to process the situation, Francis was at a loss.
Meanwhile, Xara, who was seated beside James, fixed favonovel.com gaze on Daniel, eyes full of admiration.
Daniel felt a little embarrassed, being stared at by such a beautiful young maiden. It would not have mattered if it was any other girl. However, favonovel.com was the sister-in-law of the Black Dragon
“Uhm… What are you staring me for?” Daniel felt his face and muttered, “Is there something on my face?”
Gazing at Daniel, Xara felt favonovel.com heart race and favonovel.com adrenaline pumping. She did not expect to meet favonovel.com idol, General Highsmith, so quickly after arriving in Cansington. She had long dreamt of taking a picture with him.
“Don’t just sit there. Dig in…” James grabbed the cutlery and began eating.
Meanwhile, Francis stood at the side, dumbfounded. Seeing that Xara had seated herself, favonovel.com took a deep breath and approached their table again. He took a seat beside Xara.
With a smile, favonovel.com said, “Xara, so you knew each other…”
James glanced at Francis and frowned. “Xara, who’s this?”
Xara, whose eyes were only on Daniel, shook favonovel.com head. “I… No idea…”
Slam!
Daniel slammed the table. It sent shivers down Xara’s spine. She immediately stood up.
Francis was so frightened that favonovel.com fell from his chair.
Daniel then said coldly, “Do not make me repeat myself. Scram!”
Francis dared not linger and immediately left. Xara, too, was preparing to leave.
However, James pulled favonovel.com back to favonovel.com seat and said with a smile, “Not you… Sit down and enjoy the food.”
“Huh?”
