Chapter 1846: 443: Both fell off the horse, kneeling to a Durian_5

"Smells so good!" she walked up to Terrence Lentz, "Can I drink it now?"

Terrence Lentz replied, "Not yet."

Viola Thompson was already eager, "Then how much longer?"

The milk tea wasn’t even ready yet, but it already smelled so good. Surely, when all the steps were completed, it would smell even better.

Terrence Lentz was busy adjusting the heat and making sure the milk didn’t scorch, "About fifteen more minutes."

Viola Thompson sat across from Terrence Lentz, supporting her chin with both hands, watching him intently, "Okay, I’ll wait for you."

A moment later, Terrence Lentz looked up at her and couldn’t help the slight curve of his lips.

Her current state, eager like a little kitty waiting for food.

Absolutely adorable.

Completely different from her appearance earlier in the sparring arena.

He felt fortunate to have seen all these different sides of Miss Thompson.

--

Mandel Thompson was busy dating and working, leading a fulfilling life.

Deliciously rich.

At five-thirty PM.

He finished work on time.

The secretaries all grew curious, speculating after Mandel Thompson left.

"Has the boss started dating recently?"

"It seems like it! He hasn’t been on time for work and leaving work for two years!"

The old Mandel Thompson was a workaholic.

Sometimes even working until one or two in the morning.

But two weeks ago,

Mandel Thompson seemed like a changed man.

When Conan heard his colleagues gossiping, he immediately messaged Jean Beckman on WhatsApp.

"Jean, Mandel Thompson seems to be dating."

"Is our future Mrs. CEO you?"

Conan and Jean Beckman were good friends, and Conan knew about Mandel Thompson’s feelings for Jean, so whenever Mandel Thompson’s dating came up, Conan immediately thought of Jean.

Jean Beckman furrowed her brows slightly when she received the message.

She replied, "How do you know Mandel Thompson is dating?"

Conan replied, "It’s the talk of the entire company now."

Seeing such a message made Jean Beckman uneasy for a long time.

Mandel Thompson was probably taking things too far this time.

Was he staging this huge act because she had rejected him back then?

Considering this,

Jean Beckman scoffed lightly.

Even if Mandel Thompson’s act was compelling, she wouldn’t give him another glance.

Jean Beckman continued to reply, "He did chase after me before, but I felt we weren’t suitable, so I really don’t know his current situation."

Seeing such a response, Conan didn’t know what to say.

Jean Beckman was really too lucky!

She had managed to refuse Mandel Thompson twice.

But,

If Jean Beckman had refused Mandel Thompson, then who was Mandel Thompson’s current girlfriend?

Or maybe...

Mandel Thompson was creating these rumors deliberately to catch Jean’s attention?

Tsk.

The road to woo his wife wasn’t easy for Mandel Thompson.

Conan envied Jean Beckman.

Back in high school, Mandel Thompson liked Jean and confessed passionately, only to be outrightly turned down by Jean.

After so many years, Mandel Thompson’s feelings hadn’t changed.

When Jean returned to the Capital City, Mandel Thompson confessed again.

Yet, this time, he was rejected by Jean again.

Mandel Thompson must be devastated.

After all, the socialite circles in Capital City had loads of eligible ladies lined up to marry him, yet his heart was set on Jean Beckman.

It was indeed as the saying goes, the prince had intentions but the goddess was heartless.

--

After replying to Conan’s message, Jean Beckman continued shopping.

It was at this moment that Jean saw Mary Perryne in a specialty store.

Jean immediately went over with a smile to greet her.

"Aunt."

"Jean," seeing Jean Beckman, Mary’s face lit up with a smile, "What a coincidence!"

Mary thought her eagerness must be because she wanted to become the daughter-in-law of the Thompson Clan.

Jean squinted her eyes, "Yes, such a coincidence. Are you also here to buy clothes?"

Mary nodded, "Our Viola will be back soon, so I came to look at some clothes."

It’s currently summer in Frica.

Mary wanted to pick out some winter down jackets and inner wear for Viola.

Hearing this, Jean slightly nodded. Although she had been abroad, she knew of Viola.

After all, Viola had completed a great plan and successfully stopped the Zombie virus.

That could be said.

Each of the Thompson children were truly outstanding.

Unfortunately.

She did not like Mandel Thompson.

Otherwise, it could have been a good match.

Jean said with a smile, "So that’s why, oh, by the way, I haven’t congratulated you yet."

Congratulated?

Mary was startled, "Congratulate what?"

Jean continued, "Congratulations on Brandon dating a girlfriend! You’re about to be promoted to grandmother soon!"

"What?" Mary looked at Jean, "Is our Brandon dating someone? How come I didn’t know?"

Not only did she not know.

She hadn’t heard even a hint of it.

Seeing Mary’s reaction, Jean knew what was going on.

Clearly.

This dating business was just a scam.

A scam concocted by Brandon Thompson to lure her in.

Jean’s expression did not change, smiling, she said, "Maybe Brandon was too shy to tell you."

Mary continued, "Jean, who told you this?"

Jean answered, "I heard it from Conan."

Mary nodded, her brow furrowed, "I don’t think so! I just talked to Brandon about this yesterday, and he said he isn’t thinking about dating yet."

Isla Astir had made Brandon keep it from his parents, not daring to reveal even a word.

Mary had other potential matches to introduce to Brandon, so he could only fend her off with his current disinterest in dating.

Not interested in dating?

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but rather she didn’t approve.

Thinking this, Jean’s eyes twinkled with amusement.

This feeling of being chased and revered was really great.

After exchanging a few more words with Mary, Jean made an excuse to leave.

She was only there to inquire about Brandon’s situation, not really to shop and chat with Mary.

--

In Frica, Linta Tribe.

After finishing all his tasks, Terrence Lentz happened to have Gabrie walk in at that moment.

"Third Master."

Hearing this, Terrence Lentz looked up slightly, "You’re here."

Gabrie placed everything he had in his hands on the table in front of Terrence Lentz, "This is all the ancient text material of the Linta Tribe."

Terrence nodded, then said, "Go prepare a black keyboard."

Keyboard?

Before Gabrie could react, Terrence added, "And prepare a durian too."

Gabrie’s eyes widened.

Was the Third Master preparing to kneel on durian?
