Chapter 370 – Unwelcome Guests
“I heard that you have a young woman who is developing in the entertainment industry who is getting married?”
Lynel Field glanced at Moore Howard, “Don’t you know yet? It’s already hot news all over town.”
Moore Howard laughed softly, “I’m sorry, I for one haven’t paid much attention to anything other than financial industry news.”
“I believe your daughter is as honorable and elegant as you are.”
Lynel Field had heard so many compliments in his life that he was tired of them, and among all the people who had ingratiated themselves with him, Moore Howard was one of the few people who could pitch in and make people feel comfortable.
Someone with that kind of eloquence and ability was sure to lead him to another peak in his life as well.
He admired the young man.
However, Lynel Field was as foolish in Moore Howard’s mind as his daughter, Delia Field.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
It was basic common sense to be wary of anyone who came to you on his own accord – something that father and daughter never understood.
Serves them right for being duped by him.
Moore Howard smiled calmly, giving people the impression that he was a gentle man, yet the body wrapped in perfect human skin was extremely dark inside, like a rotten red apple, emitting a sour odor and the bright red color turning into a dark red blood color.
“I just heard you talking to someone about your son-in-law moving out, and if I may ask, don’t you think that’s strange?” Moore Howard purposely fanned the flames in front of Lynel Field.
He wanted to provoke a conflict between Lynel Field and York Charlie, but the two retained a delicate balance because of Delia Field.
At this point, he’ll be able to strike with confidence.
Unfortunately, Moore Howard doesn’t seem to know that it’s very rude to talk about other people’s family matters, especially Lynel Field doesn’t like other people to meddle in his family matters.
Besides, it was the first day Moore Howard and he had met.
“It’s not something you should be worrying about.”
As soon as Moore Howard saw Lynel Field’s suddenly gloomy face, he knew that he must have said the wrong thing and quickly changed his words, “I’m sorry, I just wanted to give you a little bit of advice as well, and I’m sorry if I offended you because of that.”
“It’s fine.”
Lynel Field took the initiative to end the topic, “Well, you just came over today, you must be tired as well, we’ll talk about the cooperation matter tomorrow, you go out first, and look for the maid directly, she will take you to your room.”
“Please, I’d better go back first today. I’ll bring my luggage over tomorrow.”
“That’s all right too, you see to the arrangements.”
Moore Howard left the study and lingered in the doorway for a moment as he grimaced, “Not a bad old man to deal with, except not as stupid as I thought.”
It would take a while for Lynel Field to let her guard down when it came to her home life.
He had just walked out when he heard Delia Field’s voice from downstairs, “Dad, I’m home.”
Meanwhile, across the hallway, a figure approaches toward Moore Howard.
Moore Howard knew York Charlie was still there, but not wanting to meet him head on, he knocked on the study door once more, “Come in.”
He pushed the door open and Lynel Field seemed a little surprised that he hadn’t left yet, he explained calmly, “President Field, your daughter is looking for you.”
Lynel Field rose, “I’m sorry to trouble you.”
“It won’t.”
Moore Howard saw Lynel Field leave, York Charlie happened to walk to the study at this time, and met with Lynel Field, he greeted Lynel Field, but his eyes stayed on Moore Howard who had his back to him.
This figure, York Charlie always feel a little familiar.
He wanted to walk over to see the other’s face, but was stopped by Lynel Field, “Delia is waiting for you downstairs, let’s go down quickly.”
York Charlie had to give up, “Okay.”
“Have you packed all your stuff?”
“Almost.”
They walked nonchalantly down the stairs, Moore Howard listened to the footsteps fading away, he thought York Charlie had already left, so he turned around, intending to wait for York Charlie to leave.
Who knew that as soon as he turned around, he would see York Charlie standing at the top of the stairs looking at him.
Moore Howard was stunned, and his shoulders froze with it.
But his reaction was pretty quick, squeezing out a smile, “Hello.”
“Hello.” York Charlie said, finally moving his eyes away and walking quickly down the stairs.
Immediately after he left, Moore Howard’s face dropped; he hadn’t expected York Charlie to be so curious about him, and couldn’t help but wonder if the other man had regained his memory.
Just in case, Delia Field is asked to test York Charlie.
Having come this far, if York Charlie regained his memory at this critical moment, it would mean that all of Moore Howard’s previous efforts had been in vain.
And that’s no small thing.
On York Charlie’s side, he was still trying to remember who Moore Howard was, and whether he knew this person, or else how could he look so familiar.
If it was someone who was usually throwing his weight around, it would be reasonable for him to be a little impressed.
Before he could figure it out, his thoughts were interrupted by Delia Field’s hug.
Delia Field wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder as she closed her eyes and pretended to be snuggly, “Will we still be able to see each other as much as we want to when you’re gone?”
“Of course,” York Charlie gave a terse answer.
Lynel Field chimed in, “That’s right, don’t worry about not being able to see each other, you’re going to get married soon, and you’ll be family.”
“I wish the wedding day would hurry up and come.” Speaking against her will, Delia Field drifted her gaze casually around, and at the edge of the second floor hallway, which was flush with crystal chandeliers, she saw Moore Howard in full formal attire looking down at them with a smile.
The smile was, to put it mildly, odd.
What gave Delia Field a fright was how did Moore Howard end up in her house?
Subconsciously pushing York Charlie out of the way, Delia Field looked at Moore Howard with a panicked look on her face, seemingly worried that Moore Howard might be jealous.
If Moore Howard truly loved her, there was no way he wouldn’t be jealous of seeing her cuddling with another man in front of him.
The problem was that Moore Howard didn’t care, he was just looking over the edge with the mindset of watching the show.
Probably because Delia Field’s sight was really burning and York Charlie was starting to care, he turned his head and glanced in the direction she was looking – Delia Field was looking at the man.
The look in Delia Field’s eyes was telling him that she recognized the man and was expressing surprise that he was here.
Even if he couldn’t think of anything right now, that observation was still there.
Although York Charlie was curious about what kind of relationship Delia Field had with that man, he figured that even if he asked, Delia Field wouldn’t necessarily answer him, so he might as well just play dumb and pretend he didn’t see it.
“I have things to do, so I’ll go first.” York Charlie decided to leave first and then find another person to investigate Delia Field’s relationship with that man.
Delia Field pulled her gaze back and said goodbye to York Charlie.
Despite her efforts to look sad, her eyes couldn’t fool anyone.
Delia Field looked like she’d lost her mind at the sight of the man.
Her distracted look made York Charlie even more suspicious of her, but he just said nothing outwardly, kissed her on the forehead, and then left.
After York Charlie left, Lynel Field specifically instructed Delia Field, “Remember, you must find a way to get York to give you the spare key card to his villa.”
“Got it.”
Delia Field’s attitude was a bit perfunctory, more than York Charlie she now cared about, why was Moore Howard here?
