Runaway Wife: Please, Have Another Baby!
Chapter 511 - 512: Invitation

Chapter 511: Chapter 512: Invitation

"You’re saying..." Mr. Moses finally lifted his face, "Qian Xueying."

"That’s right," Jessica nodded.

Mr. Moses put down the documents in his hands, "Prepare the car."

"Where are you going?"

Paul brought over his coat and helped him put it on, while Mr. Moses’s dark eyes seemed profound.

"To the Duke Residence."

If Nancy had indeed done this, it couldn’t have taken this long. Based on his understanding of that woman, Nancy Locke was never a patient woman.

The person who could use her account must be someone very familiar to her—like, Duke Locke!

Previously, Nancy’s death was largely deemed a suicide, but Moses knew this was not the truth.

He could see the clues, and if he could, others might also sense that something was off. Could it be that Duke Locke was so furious about Gan Yuan that he wanted revenge?

Heading towards the door to the guest room, he stopped and raised his right hand.

"Jessica, you stay!"

Jessica had already been compromised before, and Moses didn’t want any further complications. She pursed her lips and stopped.

Paul was about to help Mr. Moses open the door when a knock was already sounding from outside.

"What is it?"

Paul opened the door, and before he could finish speaking, he saw Qian Xueying standing not far away, "Miss Xueying?"

"Is Mr. Moses here?" Qian Xueying asked with a smile.

Inside, Mr. Moses gestured to Jessica, who quickly and neatly darted into an adjoining room to hide.

"Let her in."

After giving the instruction, Mr. Moses returned to the guest room, and only then did Paul open the door wider to let Qian Xueying inside.

"What’s the matter?" Mr. Moses asked indifferently.

"I hope I’m not disturbing you," Qian Xueying stood before him, somewhat nervously fidgeting with the hem of her dress, "The day after tomorrow is my father’s birthday, and he would like to invite you to the celebration. Here is...the invitation!"

She took the invitation out of her bag and, with her face downcast, handed it to Mr. Moses.

"I know you’re very busy, but I do hope you can attend. Please... Please don’t misunderstand, this... this isn’t my idea, it’s... it’s my father’s. If you have the time, please be sure to come," she said, her speech a bit disjointed and nervous as she spoke without daring to look at Mr. Moses.

"Sorry to disturb you," she managed to finish, releasing a slight breath of relief, and bowed slightly to Mr. Moses, "Good... goodbye!"

Having said this, she turned and headed for the door.

As she opened the door, perhaps due to nervousness, she pushed forcefully outwards on a door that should have been pulled inwards, pushing several times before realizing her mistake. Flushed with embarrassment, she quickly apologized to the two men and then hurriedly left.

Holding the invitation, Mr. Moses shook it lightly, and Jessica, who had been hiding in the side room, came out laughing.

"Please... Please be sure to attend, Sorry to... to disturb..." she said, mocking Qian Xueying’s mannerisms and breaking into uncontrollable laughter halfway through, "Sir, seems like the little lady has taken a liking to you."

Paul also showed a smile on his face.

In the past, Qian Xueying had delivered food to Mr. Moses, and regarding Jessica’s conclusion, Paul had no doubts.

However, Mr. Moses himself was quite unimpressed. Glancing at the invitation in his hand, he casually handed it to Paul.

"Prepare a gift. We’ll deliver it right now."

He wasn’t interested in the banquet, but it seemed like a good opportunity to test Duke Locke. It was the perfect chance to see exactly what that old man was plotting.
