Noah was about to leave when he noticed River. She and her children were sitting with unfamiliar faces. He wondered who these people were
He halted and beckoned the restaurant manager. “Arrange a table near them.
The manager complied, asking, “How many kids are with you, sir?”
Noah glanced at Alex. “Just him. Please provide a children’s meal.”
They were then seated at a table close to River’s.
River looked up instinctively, her surprise evident upon spotting Noah
Tyler and Liora were also taken aback. What is scumbag Daddy doing here?”
The Healys turned their attention to Noah and Alex, taken aback by these two handsome men
However, when Jade noticed the obsidian stud in Alex’s left earlobe, she pursed her lips disdainfully. A man with an ear stud? Why does he look like a sissy?”
Jade stole glances at Noah, admiring his handsome appearance. She nudged Gregory, who was devouring his meal, and said, “Greg, this man looks good and well–dressed. He seems wealthy! The daughter of my distant cousin’s nephew, who lives in my younger sister’s house at the village entrance, has high standards for men. She’ll surely like someone like him!”
Gregory struggled to grasp the complex family connections for a moment before replying, “Oh, that one! Certainly!”
Excitedly, Jade declared, “I’m going over to talk to him!”
She stood up, walked over to his table, and pulled up a chair. “Hello there, handsome. Are you married?”
Noah furrowed his brow and glanced at River, his face darkening when he noticed her lack of reaction.
In contrast, Alex seemed intrigued. “Ma’am, he’s single but has a child.”
Jade looked concerned and asked, “So, he’s divorced with a child? That can be complicated. How old is the child?”
Alex replied promptly, “Five.”
“Five years old? That might be a challenge since the child can recognize people.” Jade thought for a moment before saying, “But it should be manageable as long as financial arrangements are im order!”
Alex couldn’t help but chuckle as he realized Jade was trying to set Noah up on a date. This is quite amusing,‘ he thought
“What’s your ideal type, handsome?” Jade inquired.
Noah’s face remained serious, with a hint of annoyance. He wasn’t interested in Jade’s matchmaking efforts.
Alex glanced meaningfully at River and explained, “He prefers a woman with almond–shaped eyes, an oval face, a straight nose, small lips, and a slightly stubborn temperament.”
Tyler and Liora both looked at their mother, thinking, ‘Hmm… she fits all those qualities.”
Jade was delighted by Alex’s description. “That’s a perfect match! The daughter of my distant cousin’s nephew, who lives in my younger sister’s house at the village entrance, fits that description perfectly!”
Alex couldn’t help but wonder about the complicated family ties. Their family connections are so
Before Alex could unravel their relationship, Jade asked, “You seem quite impressive, handsome. Do you own a house and a car?”
“If not?” Alex spoke for Noah. He snapped his fingers and said, “This man here owns houses all over the country and a few hundred cars!”
Jade was taken aback. Wow! He has exceptional qualities. If only the age gap weren’t an issue, I’d marry him!‘
Regaining her composure, Jade continued “That’s excellent. You’re a perfect match for the prettiest girl in our village!”
Detecting something amiss, Jade eyed Noah suspiciously. “You haven’t said a word, handsome.
Are you mute? If that’s the case, it might complicate things. According to our customs, a mute groom will need to pay extra for the wedding We’re talking at least 100,000 dollars!”
Noah sneered and shot her a cold look. “Is 100,000 dollars too little? How about 1,000,000 dollars?”
Jade was relieved that Noah could speak. She smiled craftily. “That’s a very generous offer! I’ll discuss this with the prettiest girl in the village first. However, I’ll be straightforward. We’ll see if she’s interested, considering you have a child. Second–hand men aren’t in high demand, you know.
River couldn’t hold back a scornful laugh..
Tyler and Liora struggled to suppress their giggles, their faces turning red. ‘Oh, look at that!
Scumbag Daddy’s getting roasted!‘
Noah’s expression grew even more unpleasant upon hearing River’s laughter. How can she laugh when this madwoman insults and slanders me? Would she still laugh if Neil were in my place? Double standards!‘
“Noah, she’s right about second–hand men not being in high demand. Hahaha!” Alex’s laughter distorted his expression.
“Shut up!” Noah scolded him softly.
Meanwhile, the waiter approached Alex and said, “Sir, your children’s meal is ready.”
Alex contained his laughter. Please place it here.
The waiter nodded and served it to Alex
Jade looked at Alex disdainfully, then turned to Noah and said, “Since you share the same opinion, give me your address I’ll visit after talking to the village’s prettiest girl!”
Noah smirked and turned to the waiter who lingered nearby. “Could you get me a pen and paper, please?”
The waiter retrieved a pen and notepad from his apron pocket.
Noah jotted down an address and handed the paper to Jade. “Come and meet me this afternoon. This is where I live.”
Jade carefully pocketed the paper. “Sure thing, handsome. I won’t interrupt your meal!”
“Excuse me, ma’am. Wait!” Alex called out to Jade, holding back his laughter. “Why haven’t you set me up with some nice girls? How am I worse than him?”
Jade glanced at Alex’s children’s meal and sneered “Well, he may be a divorced father, but you seem like your mind isn’t quite right. I won’t put the girls in harm’s way!”
Alex was left speechless. “How is my mind not quite right?”
He followed Jade’s gaze to his meal. ‘Fuck! Noah’s the one who insisted on ordering this! Noah, you bastard, you’ve ruined my reputation!”
After the meal, River and her group left the restaurant, accompanied by Noah and Alex
Jade reminded Noah, “111 visit you later, handsome!”
Noah sneered Tll be waiting!”
Jade pulled her family along, preparing to hail a cab
Brandon asked in confusion, “Mom, why don’t we take River’s car? We can save some money that way”
Jade rolled her eyes at him. “You fool! The handsome man has many qualities. If River were to become interested in him and join us, she’d spoil everything.”
Brandon said, “I don’t think so. River is a single mother of two kids. Why would that handsome man be interested in her?”
Jade replied, “It’s better to be cautious. I have more experience than you, so I know better.”
They hailed a cab and gave the driver Noah’s address. “To 264 Cantonment Street.”
Jade couldn’t wait for the afternoon appointment.
The driver cast a meaningful glance at the four people squeezing into the backseat and drove without a word.
Tyler and Liora were relieved when they saw the odd group finally leaving.
“They’re gone, Mommy,” Liora said
River watched the cab drive away. “Yes, finally
But she soon noticed Noah’s resentful gaze from behind. She turned her head to find him staring at her, his handsome face solemn. “You seem quite close to them.”
River asked, “Our closeness doesn’t stop you from going on a date, right?”
Alex spoke with a sad expression. “Will anyone check on me?‘
River and Noah said in unison, “You got yourself into this mess, didn’t you?”
River and Noah were momentarily stunned. They exchanged a quick glance and then looked away.
River told her children, “Come with me to work, my darlings”
Licra waved cheerfully at Noah. “Have a great date, sir!”
Tyler added, “Best of luck!”
Noah’s expression turned serious.
Alex burst into laughter. “Noah, I never thought you’d go on a first date!”
Noah glared at Alex. “Get out of here!”
Jade eagerly called the Fleurs as they headed to their destination
The Fleurs agreed reluctantly after learning that Noah was a divorced father with assets across.
the country. “Fine, set up a meeting with him, and we’ll discuss further.”
Jade accepted the task promptly.
However, the Healys were shocked when they reached the destination and saw a sign that read‘ Neuropsychiatric Hospital‘.
“Mom, are you sure you have the right address?” Brandon asked.
