Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Good at Playing

"I personally saw Director Quarter having car sex with his ex-wife that night."

While Leah Thompson was squatting in the toilet, she heard two girls conversing outside.

"Car sex? Wow, they’re daring."

The two girls walked out of the restroom laughing.

Leah took some paper, wiped, then washed her hands and frowned in deep thought.

What does this mean?

Is Director Quarter referring to her son, or someone else?

If that’s the case, then Julia Land is double dealing!

She didn’t really believe the two girls’ conversation, and perhaps they were speaking about someone else.

Leah kept this matter in her heart and headed back to the private room.

After the tea party ended, it coincided with their meal here with Chloe Sullivan and others.

In the private room, Eliza Quarter sat to the left of Thomas Sullivan.

As Thomas reached for the teapot, Eliza quickly grabbed it first.

Their hands touched.

Eliza blushed shyly.

Thomas’s mouth twitched slightly; he withdrew his hand.

"Thomas, would you like some tea? Let me pour it for you," Eliza lifted the teapot.

Thomas declined, "No thanks, I’ll just have plain water."

He picked up another cup and drank plain water.

Eliza felt a moment of disappointment.

Chloe passed her empty teacup and smiled, "Eliza, could you pour me a cup, thanks."

Eliza was moved, as Chloe was helping her out of the awkwardness, "Sure."

Leah entered the private room just as their ordered dishes were served.

The newly opened restaurant’s dishes tasted quite good, but Leah ate absent-mindedly.

The word ’car sex’ still circled in her mind.

Her son was a reserved person, not likely to indulge in such shameful acts.

Woodmouth Hospital.

Lily Grant woke up today feeling a bit better. She remembered the thing about Julia Land telling her to call after three months.

"Alexander, I need to tell you something. I think Julia might be going through some trouble?"

She whispered, "On the day I went to see her in the hospital, she secretly told me to call her in three months. Weird, right?"

Alexander stopped pouring water, frowning, "It’s a bit strange. I’ll find time to visit her. Right now, what’s most important is for you to recover and not worry about other things."

"The rear-end collision I had worries me. The driver wants to compensate and settle. Lily, do you want to continue suing her?"

Lily frowned, uncertain whether to sue or not, "I’ll follow your advice."

"Okay, I’ll handle it," Alexander held the cup to Lily’s lips, "Drink slowly."

The next day, afternoon, Chinese style villa.

Julia Land had just finished interviewing several nannies.

She decided to let Sister Fang handle the cooking from now on.

Sister Fang, forty-six years old, had abundant experience in caring for pregnant women.

Moreover, she was from Fragrant River.

Julia recalled her own miscarriage, and how James Thompson had also hired a nanny from Fragrant River to take care of her.

Not long after Nanny Fang left, Julia received a call from Alexander Strong.

Julia glanced at the study, the man was there while she interviewed the nannies.

She answered the call and sat on the couch.

"Julia, I’m right outside your door, can you come out for a moment? My friend returned from abroad and brought some local products. Lily asked me to bring them over for you to try."

"Sure, I’ll come and get them now."

Julia walked out of the living room and opened the door.

Outside.

Alexander held a bag, and Noah Quarter was also there.

"How’s Lily doing?" Julia asked worriedly.

"She’ll recover after some rest," Alexander saw Julia looked much better than before and felt slightly at ease, he lowered his voice and asked, "How are you doing now?"

"Pretty good," Julia replied with a smile.

Her smile didn’t seem forced.

Alexander casually mentioned, "Lily said, once you’ve recovered, she wants to invite you to a theater show."

"Sure," Julia smiled.

As Alexander handed her the bag, James Thompson came out.

The man naturally helped Julia with the bag.

Noah saw this and his eyes darkened slightly.

James wrapped his arm around Julia’s waist and they went back inside.

As soon as Noah got into the car, his phone rang.

Leah hurried to ask when Noah answered, "Noah, be honest with me, are you still in contact with Julia? Like, in that... intimate way."

She thought over it overnight and decided to call and ask about it.

Intimate contact?

Noah was smart, the question was subtle but he naturally guessed what his mother was asking.

He asked calmly, "Mom, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Leah sighed, "Yesterday, I overheard two girls at the restaurant saying they saw Director Quarter with his ex-wife having car sex."

Noah frowned, "Where did you hear it? Could those girls have staged it intentionally? Julia and I are not involved."

Leah was relieved to hear her son deny it.

"It was at North Thinking Restaurant. Noah, try not to contact Julia anyway. James is back in the country, and being too close to Julia is not good for you."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Secretary Strong clearly noticed Noah’s mood worsen since hanging up.

"Secretary Strong, have someone fetch the surveillance footage from North Thinking Restaurant yesterday."

He couldn’t believe it was just a coincidence.

Elsewhere, after Nanny Fang left the Chinese style villa, she returned home and made a call, "Mr. Winters, I will be responsible for Miss Land’s meals from now on."

"Alright, thank you," Jasper adjusted his glasses, hanging up and anxiously looking toward the operating room.

Hoping that the BOSS could pull through this time too.

The skin was severely burnt but could be repaired with later treatments.

It was the explosion, though, with fragments embedded in the body, making parts of the surgery risky.

Suddenly, the operating room door burst open, and a nurse rushed out anxiously.
