Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please! -
Chapter 224 - 224 Brother-in-law
Chapter 224: Brother-in-law Chapter 224: Brother-in-law There were a moderate number of people in the Western Restaurant.
In Metropolis, expensive restaurants would never lack customers as long as the chef’s skills were up to standard.
“Their steak is pretty good here,” Arnold Johnson said with his arm around her waist as they entered the restaurant, whispering softly into her ear. “But it’s not as good as the ones I make.”
Seeing his confident and happy expression, Victoria Garcia teased, “What’s the difference?”
“Mine has more emotion in it.” He laughed, his eyes filled with deep affection towards her.
His gaze was like an electric current that shot through her entire body in an instant.
Victoria instinctively bit her lip, unable to hide the laughter and shyness in her eyes.
Before they could even reach their table, a loud, feminine voice interrupted the tender moment.
“Brother-in-law!”
At the sound of the word ‘brother-in-law,’ Victoria’s previously happy and shy mood abruptly froze. She felt humiliation and shame.
When Arnold turned his head, his hand was still wrapped around Victoria.
However, Victoria instinctively moved away from him, upset at her own behavior. She almost forgot that he was a married man, even though he had always insisted that he didn’t have a wife. The rumors about him said that he lived peacefully with his wife and concubine.
Arnold’s kindness and care towards her had caused her to lower her guard, even considering starting a romance with him. Now, she was shocked by how irrational her thoughts had been, as if they were a self-deprecating joke.
“Kaelin,” Arnold replied indifferently.
Victoria’s reaction made Arnold’s heart ache, knowing that she must be feeling terrible at the moment.
Kaelin Johnson wore a bean paste colored skirt, her hair flowing loosely behind her, a rare display of her femininity.
“I came here to have dinner with a friend, and I didn’t expect to see my brother-in-law here with a friend too,” Kaelin said playfully. “Why don’t we join tables?”
Arnold shook his head directly and said, “No need.”
Despite Arnold’s refusal, Kaelin just laughed and did not show any intention of leaving. Instead, she stepped forward and faced Victoria.
In this public place, there was no way for Arnold to hide Victoria.
“Hello, my name is Kaelin Johnson. Arnold is my brother-in-law,” she said with a warm smile, showing a row of clean teeth that enhanced her lively features.
Facing Kaelin’s friendly and open greeting, Victoria tried to calm herself, giving a slight smile and extending her hand in response, “Hello, I am Victoria Garcia.”
“You’re so pretty; no wonder my brother-in-law didn’t bring you to the villa to meet us,” Kaelin remarked while looking at her and then turned to ask Arnold, “Brother-in-law, when will you bring her to the villa so we can all meet her? You know, my sister has always been generous with these things.”
Hearing this kind of conversation, Victoria couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
“Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom.” Without looking back, Victoria headed straight for the restroom.
Suppressing his anger, Arnold faced Kaelin. “Kaelin, I’ve already told you many times not to call me ‘brother-in-law.’ Do I need to warn you again?”
