Love at the Wrong Table - Season 8 Episode 63

On the road in Yeringham, Blake was still driving his decade-old Corolla,

following behind a Maserati.

“Haha, Magnus, seems like your plan has failed again, huh? You’re truly a

failure. You can’t even kill an enemy after so many attempts!”

At his teasing, Magnus’ lips curved into a faint smile. He held neither anger

nor dismay.

Yet, within his eyes, a glimmer of intrigue sparkled-a light hinting at

something more.

‘From my earliest days up until now, I have never encountered such a

enacious opponent. It’s rather interesting!”

Magnus pushed his glasses and grinned.

Haha, I’ve seen this scene play out in movies and novels. Usually, after the

ntagonist’s defeat by the protagonist, they utter such lines to salvage their

pride! Magnus, I’m starting to believe that you’re akin to an antagonist, and

your lifespan might not be all that long!”

“Enough of that. Focus on your driving. If you keep talking like this, we might

just see the end of our friendship!”

Magnus pretended to be slightly angry.

Blake continued to laugh heartily. It was a novel sight to witness Magnus in

this state. While not quite an expression of exasperation, the fact that

someone could get him to this point of frustration was rather amusing.

He was curious to meet Emmanuel and see what kind of character he was.

Meanwhile, inside the Maserati, Ryder tightly gripped the steering wheel, and

his palms were sweaty.

He hadn’t driven for so many years, and now he was driving a Maserati.

Moreover, the woman he liked was sitting in the passenger seat. How could

he not be nervous?

“Mr. Lowe, why are you sweating so much? Is it hot?”

Tia sensed that something was off and offered him a tissue to wipe his

sweat.

Unbeknownst to her, each wipe only seemed to produce more sweat.

“Are you feeling unwell? Let me turn on the air conditioning.”

Tia’s brows furrowed with concern. Given the early spring weather, the

temperature was nid. It was perplexing for Ryder to be dripping with sweat.

“Hehe, Ms. Franks, my dad gets hot whenever he’s around you!” Tommy’s

voice chimed in from the backseat.

“Hey, little brat, you’re always butting in. Get back in your seat!”

At Ryder’s suggestive comment, it was Tia’s turn to blush.

How can someone as well-behaved as Mr. Lowe utter something so subtly

suggestive?

The atmosphere became quite awkward for a moment.

Fake Tommy, the master of defusing tension, swiftly intervened. “Dad,

ach growing wont to eat something!”

Wxto be ever you are. That’s one thing you got from me!” Ryder playfully

The security guards and greeters at the entrance hurriedly walked over with

welcoming smiles when they saw such a luxurious car.

When they saw Ta step out of the passenger seat and Tommy hop out from

the book, they immediately assumed that the Maserati passengers were

From a wealthy family.

Little did they expect that the person who walked out of the driver’s seat was

a weathered-skinned older man. At first glance, he could be mistaken for a

seasoned farmer.

Upon closer inspection, one might conjecture he was, at best, a retired

laborer.

This unexpected revelation prompted discreet murmurs among the

observers. “How can such a beautiful woman be with such an ugly man?”

“Surely, that man must be incredibly wealthy, right? Perhaps he razed his

hometown to construct an airport?”

“Thank goodness the kid doesn’t take after his dad!”

Overhearing these hushed comments, Ryder couldn’t help but feel

embarrassed.

Back in the day, when he was with Abellyn, they were often compared to a

diamond in the rough. But now, with an even more significant age gap

between him and Tia, and Tia being slightly more attractive than Abellyn, he

was aware that if they pursued a relationship, the same kind of comments

would persistently bother them.

Tia also overheard these comments but kept her head down and brushed

her hair behind her ear.

“Hmph, what nonsense! My dad isn’t ugly!”

Tommy’s sudden outburst startled the crowd.

Just as everyone believed he was courageously standing up for his father

and defending him, Tommy’s focus swiftly shifted to the opposite side of the

scene, where an ugly man was getting out of a black Corolla.

“Look there! See how my dad compares to that unattractive guy. Is my dad

truly that ugly? That fellow over there is the real eyesore! Much uglier than

my dad!”
