Chapter 763 You Know Nothing About My Loveliness
Upon hearing that, Adelpha guiltily gulped before she giggled. “What are you talking about, Anastasia? I wouldn’t fool you. I was thinking that the walnut cookies from North South Cafe are also good. I will buy them for you as well!”
“Is that so…” Elise’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. “I will have to trouble you with it, then. Go now. Come back before dark.”
Knowing that Elise had the upper hand, Adelpha didn’t dare to say another word. She only silently took her purse and darted out.
Elise then turned her head and urged Lyra with a smile, “No dilly-dallying, Aunt Lyra. You should probably start moving.”
Lyra responded by rolling her eyes before she gloomily trudged into the kitchen.
It took two hours for Adelpha to finally arrive at the eastern suburbs. Unfortunately, there was a long queue outside the cafe. Having no other choice, she could only obediently queue at the end of the line.
It was already dark, and three hours had passed after she bought the pastries.
Just as she was preparing to return with the pastries in her arms, she had only taken a few steps out of the store when she came across a few of her friends that she often hung out with.
“Adelpha? You also came to check out North South Cafe, huh?” One of her friends stopped her, and then reached out to touch the box Adelpha was holding. “We don’t have to wait in line anymore then. Quickly pass it to us. We want to take some photos!”
“Oh, not this!” Adelpha hid the box behind her and explained smilingly, “You can’t touch this. If you do, I might lose a limb today when I go home!”
“Are you for real, Adelpha? Do you really have to make it sound so serious for a few pieces of cake? Just say it if you don’t want to share it with us. Don’t act like we are asking for your life,” another one of her friends criticized as her expression turned dark.
“It is not that I don’t want to give it to you. Anastasia is back, and she insists on eating the pastries. I will be in big trouble if she doesn’t get what she wants!” Adelpha frowned bitterly, a helpless expression on her face.
“What? Anastasia? I thought you weren’t afraid of her. Can you at least come up with an excuse that makes sense? Don’t treat us like fools.”
“Exactly. Everyone knows that you are the princess of the White Family. Who the hell is Anastasia to tell you to do this and that?”
The women didn’t hide their doubt that Adelpha was intentionally making excuses.
“I really am not lying! Anastasia disappeared for half a year but after she came back, she seems like a completely different person. She is super good at fighting now. None of the male servants in my house is her opponent. Hence, I have no choice but to be her errand girl…”
Adelpha couldn’t help sighing at the thought of how pitiful she was.
“For real?” One of the women who started to believe her immediately began to complain, “I can’t believe this. You can put up with her even though she is treating you like this?”
“I can’t.” Adelpha said in an exasperated tone. “But what else can I do when I can’t win against her?”
The women looked at each other and after thinking for a while, one of them gave a suggestion. “Just teach her a lesson! Isn’t she good at fighting? Add something to these pastries so that she can’t stand it after she eats them. I bet she can’t do anything to you after that!”
“Hey, that makes sense!”
The glint in Adelpha’s eyes finally returned as she saw hope again.
Danny had been waiting at the entrance of a villa in the western suburbs since arriving earlier on before he saw Jamie driving in his direction. “Here, here!” he shouted while waving to get Jamie’s attention.
When the car stopped in front of him, the door to the passenger seat opened, and a fashionably dressed Jamie made his dashing appearance. As he got out of the car, he gave Danny a two-finger salute, in which Danny greeted him back the same way.
Just as he was about to walk over, the car door in front of him slammed open and hit him. Narissa then stepped out with a pair of sunglasses on.
Almost choking from the shock when he saw her, Danny ran over to pull Jamie aside and nagged in a low voice, “Didn’t I let you come alone? What did you bring her for?”
“We are all bros anyway. What is wrong with playing together?” Jamie shrugged with an indifferent look on his face. “Since Boss is not here, it is only natural that we have to take care of Narissa for her. Don’t tell me you are reluctant to pay for another person.”
“F*ck, do I look like such a stingy person to you?” Danny put one hand on his waist and the other against his forehead. “You can take care of her anytime. It is not like you have to do it today!”
“Come on, now,” Jamie cooed while patting him on the shoulder. “I will only be spreading my pheromones to catch the girl. Tell me what type of man that girl likes!”
Hearing that, Danny let out a long sigh and looked at him with disdainful eyes. “I don’t know what her type was before this, but I can say for sure now that she won’t like you.”
“Non, non.” Jamie waved his index finger left and right before he confidently added, “You know nothing about my loveliness.”
Instead of answering him, Danny only shook his head while he let out a snort.
Not only Ariel, even a dog would be disgusted by Jamie’s level of narcissism.
Danny was just thinking about her when she walked out of the villa.
“You came too, Miss Cuber!” Surprised, Ariel hopped over to clasp both Narissa’s hands as she looked at her dottingly. “I have heard Miss Sinclair mention you, and we are finally meeting in real life! It is quite a hot day, isn’t it? Shall we have our chat inside?”
“Sure.”
A beautiful woman naturally wouldn’t reject another beautiful woman.
Arm in arm, the two immediately headed into the villa.
Danny let out another long sigh again looking at their backs. “See? This is why you can’t seduce her.”
A puzzled look appeared on Jamie’s face as he looked at the women and then Danny. “What do you mean?”
“You are the wrong gender!” Danny roared.
“Huh?” Jamie thought he heard wrong.
“Nothing.” Danny had finally decided to give up on trying to treat his friend. He then pulled Jamie along as they followed after the women. “My brother, let’s stay single together!”
It was about half an hour later when Jamie realized that the woman Danny wanted him to seduce was Ariel.
Ariel, however, prefered women over men—or at least that was what Danny said.
Still, Jamie couldn’t tell.
“Have you been thinking too much?” He kept pestering Danny with questions.
“Oh, why are you so long-winded today? I have told you so many times that I saw it with my own d*mn eyes and heard it with my own d*mn ears! How can it be fake?”
As Danny impatiently pushed him away, he accidentally saw a view that caught his eyes—Ariel and Narissa had come out of the lounge in nothing but swimwear.
Jamie, too, unconsciously glanced over without looking away afterward.
Ariel was wearing a standard bikini that left her sensual body and fair skin in plain view.
On the other hand, even though Narissa’s swimsuit was on the conservative side, it managed to make her provocatively mysterious by vaguely showing the enticing curves of her figure.
After the men had their fill of looking, they lowered their heads and started looking everywhere else, seemingly unbothered by the sight.
The scene had changed when Danny lifted his head after a while. This time, Ariel was intimately sticking to Narissa’s chest as she applied sunscreen all over Narissa.
