Chapter 1816 : Absent-minded
Paddy booked a private room, the environment of Pear Garden is famous for its seclusion and elegance, once the door of the private room was closed, it was as if the outside world was isolated and unusually quiet.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Paddy handed the menu to Blanca Roach and said, “Let’s see what you want to eat.”
Blanca Roach took the menu, ordered a light vegetarian dish, and then handed it to Isabel.
Isabel understood what she meant and took it with a smile while saying, “Then I’ll make myself at home.”
The expression on Paddy’s face remained the same, but his heart was bitter. He had decided to let go of Blanca and be by her side as a brother, but he didn’t expect that there would be no return between them after all.
Blanca Roach was avoiding him at every turn, how could his heart feel better.
The rest of the day was the same as in the car, with Paddy and Isabel moderating the atmosphere and Blanca Roach listening and only occasionally saying a few words.
The food was soon served, during which Isabel got up to go to the bathroom.
For a while, the atmosphere in the box was quiet.
Blanca Roach kept her head down and concentrated on eating her food.
“Blanca, have you been doing well this time?”
Blanca Roach put down her chopsticks, curved her mouth and said, “Are you asking about the time before?”
Paddy was shaken by the smile on her face and subconsciously nodded, after which he heard Blanca Roach say, “I’m fine, and as you should know, Matthew Grant has protected me very well.”
When Matthew Grant was mentioned, Blanca Roach’s face had a few more vivid smiles on it, and she wondered what he was doing now, and whether he had taken Alice to dinner.
Once Blanca Roach’s thoughts had opened the floodgates, she couldn’t retract them. Alice had been at the office all day and wondered if she would be bored and if Matthew Grant had taken good care of her.
Paddy saw her wander off and his eyes fell on her ear.
A small earring was tangled with her hair and the owner hadn’t noticed.
Paddy pursed his lips and reached out to help her fix her hair.
As soon as Paddy’s hand came over, Blanca Roach subconsciously avoided it, holding her head sideways to hold back the pain, trying to save the earring that had accidentally gotten caught in her hair.
When she finally took them off, her earlobes were so red that they were bloodshot. The white skin with this color was particularly appealing.
Paddy withdrew his hand somewhat despondently, “Are you okay?”
“It’s fine.” Blanca Roach’s soft palm was splayed with the delicate pair of earrings, perhaps not any expensive luxury, but it was particularly attractive to him.
The earrings, Paddy thought, were like her person.
Blanca Roach looked at the time, looked up and smiled lightly, “Thank you.”
Paddy put down his knife and fork, “Blanca, you don’t have to thank me, I’m your brother, aren’t I?”
Blanca Roach smiled and didn’t say anything, although she thought of Paddy as her brother in her heart, she still had to pay attention to the distance between the two, after all, her husband had a small belly and a big jealous nature.
She came out to have dinner with Paddy, guess Matthew Grant was already very angry, she could not afford to make him more angry.
Blanca Roach sighed softly, her earlobe still stung a little, she reached up and rubbed it, not feeling any blood, which meant it wasn’t serious.
“I see you’re hiring today? How’s the studio been?”
“It’s okay.” Blanca Roach avoided telling Paddy, “So far so good, it’s made a bit of a name for itself.”
Blanca Roach reached out and gestured a distance of less than two centimeters.
“Do you want me to introduce you to the business?”
“No, I can do it myself.”
Blanca Roach smiled and refused. She had to admit that Felicia’s words today had left a deep impression on her, and she now couldn’t wait to prove to the outside world that she, Blanca Roach, was not a doddering flower, she was strong enough and good enough.
