Chapter 15
Wilfred hung up the phone without waiting for the person’s reply.
Elsie didn’t want to have dinner with them, but now it was too late for her to refuse
They went to the Joy Hotel, owned by the Louise Group. It was the best place for seafood in Tervais.
Thinking that Pierre was going to be here, Elsie suddenly lost her appetite.
man with rimless glasses opened the door and entered.
Shortly after the four sat down in a private room, a handsome your; man
Elsie didn’t know him, but when she saw his face, which looked a little like Pierre’s, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It should be Leo Louise, Pierre’s younger brother. He was different from the rich young men around him and was a legendary scientific researcher
As for Elsie, everyone was approachable except Pierre, who was known to be cold and aloof.
“Dad, what’s wrong? I’m really busy. I’ve reached the critical part of my experiment,” Len complained.
He had been working himself to the bone in the lab. But his father didn’t even give him a chance to explain himself.
“Tell me how long has it been since you were home last! How long since we ate together?
“You even spent Christmas in the lab. When are you going to give me some grandchildren?”
As was his habit. Leo pushed up his glasses and decided to remain silent.
“Why is Dad pushing me to get married when there are outsiders here? I’m so embarrassed thought Leo
As an outsider, Elsie was even more embarrassed. She didn’t want to know the secrets of the Louise family at all.
What she didn’t expect was that something more embarrassing was going to happen.
“Leo, this is Miss Stone, the eldest daughter of the Stone family in Tervais. You’re about the same age as her. You can add her on WhatsApp and hang out together. Take her out to dinner or watch a movie when you’re free?
What Wilfred said shocked Leo and Elsie.
What was going on?
Wilfred, the powerful businessman, was setting her up with his son!
He went to such great lengths just to get a grandson!
Ignoring their shock, Wilfred continued to urge Leo. “Leo, you’re a man. Be more proactive”
In the end, he whispered to Leo, “Trust me. I’m a good judge of character.”
Leo refused. “Pierre doesn’t have a girlfriend yet.”
“Who said he doesn’t have a girlfriend? Isn’t Miss Simpson his girlfriend?”
Leo was surprised, thinking, “Didn’t Dad always refuse to accept Miss Simpson as Pierre’s girlfriend? But he just admitted it in front of outsiders, just to make me find a girlfriend?”
Despite Leo and Elsie’s embarrassment, Wilfred urged them to exchange numbers
Seeing that the two young people had added each other on WhatsApp, he said with satisfaction, “Come on Charlie. Danielle, give me a hug”
Leo took the opportunity to change the topic.
“Dad, those two kids were the ones you asked me about last time, right!”
“Yes. Aren’t they cute! So you should get married as soon as possible and have one,” Wilfred answered grumpily.
Both of his sons were workaholics. Pieme, being cold and distant, wasn’t popular among women.
Although Kimberly had been by his sile for several years, he had never interaled to marry her. Pearl Burke was such a nice gul, but he didn’t like ber, which made Willard think he was indeed crazy
Chapter 15
Nene Willred could only pin his hopes on his youngest son, Leo. He was handsome and even smarter than Pierre. But he seemed to have no Intension of getting a girlfriend,
“They look s
much like Pierre!” Leo said, preventing
his father from bringing that up again.
“They also look like your Wilfred retorted at Leo unhappily.
Their conversation shocked Elsie, who was next to them.
She had suspected that the two children were Pierre’s. But because of Kimberly’s relationship with Pierre, she had gotten this idea out of her head.
Therefore, she hadn’t mentioned it again.
While pretending to be eating, she stole a glance at Leo and then at Charlie and Danielle,
They looked so much alike, especially their eyes and ears.
But Angle had told her that the man hired by Kimberly was a disgusting old man.
Could it be that something..
As the dishes were served one after another, Charlie and Danielle rehimed to their seats,
“Don’t just focus on your food. Talk to Miss Stone,” said Wilfred, helping the two kids with their food.
“Mr. Louise, 1…”
ou still calling me Mr. Louise? I told you to call me by my first
Before Elsie could finish her words, Wilfred interrupted her and said, “Why are you name. You can call him Leu.”
Elsie suddenly thought of a joke about this name.
She tried her best to stop herself from laughing with a blushing face
It seemed that it was not a good thing to be easily amused.
Leo also blushed.
He looked at Wilfred unhappily, and what he was trying to say was very clear. “Dad, can’t you stop
Wilfred put some food on Danielle’s plate.
embarrassing
“Leo has never had a girlfriend, Miss Stone. He only cares about his data and his experiments. But I’m anxious.
“Thit it off with you. You are also Charlie and Danielle’s godmother, so I invited him to dinner without asking your permission this time. I hope there are no hard feelings.”
Ehic didn’t know whether to be happy or angry. What could she say?
There were countless women who tried their best to throw themselves at Leo and Fierre.
She didn’t believe that Leo needed to be set up on a blind date.
She said with a smile, “Wilfred, you can call me Elsie.”
“Okay!” Wilfred was
as very happy to hear that. He had never made a mistake in his judgment of a person’s character before.
Elsie was much sassier–and
more direct than Kimberly. In his opinion, that was how a daughter–in–law should be
The Louise family never needed to marry other powerful families to help stabilize their status.
Therefore, when Pierre rejected the Burke family, he hadn’t said anything.
Although he did not like Kimberly, he would respect his son’s decision.
“Elsie, now that you and Leo are friends on WhatsApp, I’ll ask Leo to send you Charlie and Danielle’s work.”
“Wilfred, I’ll add you on WhatsApp. No need to bother.. Leo.. Mr. Louise.”
klsie felt weird calling him Leo, so she changed her address of him.

“It’s no trouble at all,” said Wilfred.
“Dad, you’d better contact Miss Stone yourself! You know how busy I am at the lab. Sometimes, I don’t even have time to look at my phone until more than 10 hours have passed.”
“Which is more important, your experiments or your girlfriend?” Wilfred, who had just felt happy, was angered again. “Besides, her name is Elsie. Don’t call her Miss Stone. It sounds too distant!”
Leo was so embarrassed as he thought, “She is my girlfriend already? Even if I’m okay with that, Miss Stone might not be willing to be Πιγ girlfriend”
Wilfred continued, “Besides, I don’t have WhatsApp.”
Leo looked at his father in disbelief. How was that possible? His father had sent him many messages scolding him on WhatsApp.
Wilfred didn’t hide it from him. “I just deleted it. My phone is too slow. The short videos will load faster now.”
What a lame reason!
What else could Leo say! His father h
had planned this when he saw Elsie
No, maybe Elsie had approached his father with an ulterior motive.
He couldn’t let such a scheming woman stay with his father!
If Elsie h
had known what Leo was thinking, she would have thrown the food in his face.
The Louise family was powerful, but not everyone wanted to be in their good graces. At least, Elsie didn’t!
Dinner ended in an extremely awkward atmosphere. Only Danielle had eaten to her heart’s content, and her stomach was bulging
Before leaving the private room, Leo slipped the cup that Charlie had used into his bag and took it away.
He thought no one had seen it, but Danielle had.
