His Precious Love

Chapter 108 Get To Know Each Other Better

As soon as the call connected, Curtis asked, “Dad, are you still at Obelisk Mall? I can pick you up since I’m passing by the area.”

Alfred was delighted to hear that.

What perfect timing for them to meet!

“Sure. Come to Divine Stews on the fifth floor. I’m having stew here.” With that, Alfred hung up.

“Is that your son?” asked Rayna.

“Yes. He said he was passing by the area. What perfect timing, huh? You two can meet and make friends. I can even get him to send you home later, too,” said Alfred while chuckling happily.

Oh no. I never wanted to meet his son in the first place. I can’t believe he’s coming just when I’ve gotten this man’s contact. This is so awkward.

“Mister, please carry on eating. I need to go to the restroom.” To avoid the awkward situation, Rayna came up with an excuse to go to the restroom to pay the bill and flee the restaurant.

Before leaving, she even informed the server to relay the news to Alfred.

Not long after she had left, the server approached Alfred’s table—table number twenty-three—and informed him politely, “Mister, your friend left because she had some matters to attend to. She has told me to apologize on her behalf.”

“She’s gone?” Alfred sighed while gazing at the entrance.

There goes my daughter-in-law…

Rayna had just gotten onto the escalator when the elevator door opened to reveal Curtis’ figure. However, he headed straight for Divine Stews without noticing Rayna.

Thanks to the small restaurant area and his height, Curtis immediately spotted Alfred sitting by the window with just one glance.

“Hey, Dad.” Upon arriving at the table, he furrowed his brows at the sight of the spicy stew. “You should cut down on these in the future. They are gastric-inducive.”

Alfred huffed angrily, “Tsk. What do you mean, cut down? You’re just as naggy as the butler. What’s so wrong about having good food when I only have a few years left to live? Fine. I’ll just have water then!”

Curtis muttered, “That’s not
