Chapter 469
Shanna Fletcher frowned, ‘Meeting a client this late?”
“There’s a case going to court soon * Mason put on his coat, looked in the mirror, and spoke lightly “I need to double–check the details.”
“Can’t you talk on the phone?” Shanna Fletcher wasnt happy “You’ve just recovered from your headache, and the doctor told you not to stay up late You always work overtime when you come back.”
“I took their money, so I have to do my best to help them.” Mason buttoned up his coat. “I have to go now Enjoy your meal.”
With that, he left.
Kaylee felt a bit awkward.
Shanna Fletcher also thought her son’s resistance was too obvious
During the time Kaylee was injured, Shanna Fletcher tried several times to persuade Mason to visit her, but Mason always used work as an
excuse
From the time Kaylee was beaten up until she recovered, Shanna Fletcher visited her twice, but Mason never went.
Each time she visited, Kaylee would ask why Mason hadn’t come. Shanna Fletcher made excuses for him, saying things like he bought the stuff for her, and he was very busy lately.
Kaylee believed her, and as soon as she got better, she went to the Fletcher family to find Mason.
But Mason’s attitude was always so cold.
What client needed to be met in the middle of the night?
“Kaylee, let’s eat. Don’t worry about him.”
Kaylee forced a smile, and after a while, she asked, “What kind of girl does Mason like? What were the girls he used to date like?”
Shanna Fletcher paused for a moment, then laughed, “Mason never had a girlfriend. If he had one, I wouldn’t be so worried.”
Kaylee frowned, thinking she remembered hearing Nicolas talk about Mason’s girlfriends when they were young
Did she remember wrong?
“Kaylee, you don’t need to worry about what kind of girl Mason likes. You don’t need to deliberately cater to him as well. As long as your personalities match and Mason is willing, you don’t have to worry about us.”
Kaylee’s face turned red, “Thank you”
Mason finally found the restaurant after searching for the address for over half an hour.
It was already past 10 pm, and there were hardly any customers left in the restaurant. The owner had cleaned up and was checking today’s earnings at the counter.
Hearing the door open, he looked up and saw a handsome, tall man walk in. The owner immediately said, “Sorry, we’re closed.”
Mason saw Celeste lying on the table and sighed with relief. He whispered, “I’m here to pick someone up.”
“Are you the gentleman on the phone?”
Mason nodded and said, “How much is the bill for the drinks? I’ll pay it first.”
“No need, the young lady has already paid Just take her with you.”
So, Mason put his wallet away.
He walked up to Celeste, gently patted her shoulder, and called her name,
“Celeste?”
Celeste frowned but didn’t open her eyes. It seemed like she was annoyed at being disturbed from her sweet dreams.
Mason called her for a while, but seeing that she was not responding, he decided to bend down and scoop her up in his arms.
Celeste’s body was incredibly soft and lightweight in his arms.
Mason’s heart started beating a little faster.
It seemed like she found his holding position uncomfortable, so Celeste shifted her body a bit. She instinctively hooked one arm around his neck and said, “Liam, carry me back to the room.”
Mason could not find the words to respond.
