Chapter 1504: 374: Play dumb to catch the wise! _4 Chapter 1504: 374: Play dumb to catch the wise! _4 Norma Augus continued, “Mr. White, I won’t disturb you any longer. My mom is waiting for me.”

“Alright,” Mr. White nodded.

Norma turned and left.

Watching Norma’s retreating figure, Liam Webster curiously asked, “Who’s that pretty girl?”

Indeed, a handsome guy is always a handsome guy!

No matter where he goes, whether in college or not, Mr. White is never short of admirers.

“An acquaintance,” replied Mr. White.

An acquaintance?

What did that mean?

Liam continued, “So you two aren’t even friends?”

“Not yet,” Mr. White said flatly.

Liam squinted at Mr. White.

Mr. White didn’t feel uncomfortable.

On the other end, Phoebe Perryne had witnessed the whole process of Norma greeting Mr. White. As soon as Norma returned to her side, Phoebe couldn’t wait any longer, asking, “Norma, was that Marcus White just now?”

“Yeah,” Norma nodded.

Phoebe was thrilled. She thought she was seeing things.

But it was real!

Phoebe went on to say, “It seems like you really are destined to be with Mr. White! In a country as big as Sinian, you two happen to meet across cities!”

“Mom, do you really think it’s fate?” Norma looked at Phoebe.

All such occurrences are man-made.

If she were a naive young girl, she might also believe in fate and fall hopelessly into Mr. White’s trap, pursuing him relentlessly.

Unfortunately, she’s not an inexperienced little girl.

Phoebe frowned slightly, “If it’s not fate, then what is it?”

Norma continued, “Actually, I saw Marcus White at the mall earlier. Now I see him here again. Mom, do you still think it’s fateful?”

Hearing this, Phoebe’s eyes widened in surprise. After a while, she uttered, “So, you’re saying… Marcus White followed us?”

Norma nodded, “Probably.”

Phoebe was excited.

It seemed that the day when the Thompson Clan is put in its place was not far off!

A moment later, Phoebe continued, “Since Marcus White came for you, why didn’t you invite him to join us for lunch? To build some rapport?”

Norma turned a page of the menu, saying with a smile, “In matters of the heart, he who makes the first move is at a disadvantage.”

If she had taken the initiative to invite Mr. White to lunch, wouldn’t that have been playing into his hands?

So.

She wouldn’t.

She preferred waiting for Mr. White to take the initiative.

Phoebe frowned slightly, “But there are so many young girls around him. What if he’s seduced by someone else?”

“Don’t worry about that,” Norma confidently said, “It won’t happen.”

With Mr. White being completely absorbed in her, how could anyone else compare?

Would one who has feasted on fine delicacies ever crave simple, plain food?

On their end, Liam was flipping through the menu, planning to order two more dishes.

Mr. White put down his chopsticks, saying, “Don’t order so much, it’s a waste. I’m almost full.”

Liam replied, “My sister is also shopping around here. She will join us for lunch in a bit.”

“Oh,” Mr. White didn’t say anything else.

Soon, Liam’s sister, Eva Webster, arrived.

“Bro!”

Liam looked at Eva and smiled, “Eva, this is my roommate, Marcus White.”

Eva, five years younger than Liam and sweet-looking, greeted Marcus warmly, “Hi Marcus.”

Mainly because Marcus was really handsome.

And very refined.

No girl dislikes handsome guys.

“Hello.” Marcus nodded politely and smiled.

Liam added, “Marcus, this is my sister Eva. You can just call her Eva.”

Eva was already twenty-seven, of marriageable age. There was a reason Liam had called her over.

Although Marcus was a bit stingy, he was a great guy. Even though he wasn’t particularly well-off, his situation wasn’t bad either.

Eva herself was an average girl. Looking for someone handsome and rich was too difficult.

After thinking it over, she decided Marcus was the most suitable candidate for future brother-in-law.

Mr. White turned to Eva and politely called out her name.

After becoming acquainted, the three continued eating.

An hour later, when they finished eating, Liam paid the bill and said with a smile, “I didn’t drive today. Marcus, could you give me and Eva a lift home?”

Eva, who had initially thought Marcus was somewhat handsome, now sparkled at the mention of a car.
