Rowan had long heard the jolly chatter here and was coming over with Xyla hand in hand.

Liam immediately recovered to his serious front to flash a smile and exchange polite pleasantries. Both of them then took wine glasses from the waiter and emptied them.

“The joint hospital project has only made 1/3 of its progress. I’ll only go back after the hospital’s built!”

“Oh…” Liam calculated the time. “I’ll have Zephyr prepare in advance then! He’ll be giving you problems when he’s in Southeast Aciatic in the future!”
