Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 836: These Two Actually Make a Good Match
Barry Barrett took a sip from his glass of wine, assuming an air of someone who really knows their wines, smacked his lips to savor it, and then said, "This wine tastes pretty good, feels quite sweet with a hint of fruity aroma, just the smell alone is nice."
Barry had just finished his praise when Flora Lane put down her wine glass with a hint of disdain and said, "What’s the difference between this and fruit juice? I think baijiu tastes better, don’t you think, Brother Seraphina?"
Seraphina Vaughn snapped out of his reverie, forced a dry laugh, and replied dismissively, "It’s all about the same."
Everyone immediately looked at Seraphina with strange expressions, and Flora asked, "What’s wrong with you? You always have high taste in wine, right? What’s so good about this fruity juice wine? You actually said it’s about the same? And it looks like you haven’t even touched your glass of wine?"
Barry immediately followed up, "Exactly, our Brother Seraphina has an oceanic capacity, so maybe this wine doesn’t suit your taste, should we order a good bottle?"
Seraphina explained with a forced smile, "My relative came, so I can’t drink, otherwise I’d guarantee I’d floor all of you today."
Flora: "Oh? That’s quite a bad coincidence, you really are a bit unlucky."
Audrey Sutton: "I feel like Brother Seraphina has something on his mind? Not enjoying himself."
Barry: "Come to think of it, yeah, felt like you were preoccupied earlier in the car."
Phoebe King teased, "Women have a few days like this every month, we all understand."
Seraphina really did not feel like playing here, so he just went along with the excuse and said, "My stomach does ache a bit, I think I’d better go back to the hotel to rest, you all enjoy yourselves."
In everyone’s eyes, Seraphina is the kind who really loves having fun, so when he says something like this, they all believe he must really be feeling unwell.
So Audrey asked with concern, "Does it hurt a lot? I have hot pads in my suitcase, you can take a couple to use."
Seraphina waved a hand, "No worries, I’ll just lie down when I get back, I’ll be off then."
Audrey: "Should I ask my fourth brother to send you back? He’s just been on his phone here, might be thinking of heading back to the hotel to relax too."
Seraphina politely declined, "No need, no need, your fourth brother is at least a bar owner, might be nostalgic about this atmosphere, wouldn’t want to spoil his fun, I can just grab a cab on my own."
Flora: "Be careful on the way, and if you want to eat something later, just message us, we’ll buy it for you."
Seraphina gave an "OK" gesture, took up his bag, and just as he was about to leave, he heard Audrey suddenly shout in a direction, "Mr. Bishop!"
Julian Bishop, who was walking toward the bar’s exit, stopped and turned around confusedly looking at Audrey.
Audrey waved him over, and when Julian got closer, Audrey asked, "Are you planning to head back to the hotel?"
Julian nodded, "Yeah, heading back to prep for tomorrow morning’s meeting materials."
"You’ve worked hard. Just as my friend is feeling unwell and wants to head back to the hotel, could you help take her back?"
Julian looked in the direction Audrey pointed and saw Seraphina, and his expression froze a bit.
Not that he was unwilling to help, but because he felt that Seraphina seemed rather repelled by him, fearing Seraphina might not want to go back with him, so he didn’t immediately nod.
After hesitating for two seconds, seeing no reaction from Seraphina, Julian responded to Audrey, "No problem, should we go now, or wait a bit?"
Before Audrey could answer, Seraphina turned swiftly to head outside without a word.
Julian glanced at Seraphina, turned back to Audrey and said, "Then we’re heading off."
Audrey nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Bishop."
Seraphina walked briskly, but Julian, being tall with long legs, effortlessly kept up with his pace.
On this side, watching their backs recede, Flora chuckled and teased, "I must say, these two are quite a match."
Phoebe added, "Old Man Bishop is quite old, and Vaughn is single, why don’t we play matchmaker?"
Barry explained, "Brother Seraphina believes in staying unmarried, she plans to enjoy life gloriously on her own, she says men would just bind her beautiful life."
Phoebe suddenly understood, "No wonder I wondered why she’s still single, she’s pretty, family is wealthy, social circle is vast, how could she not have a boyfriend, turns out she doesn’t want one."
Audrey joked, "I think Brother Seraphina doesn’t exactly reject marriage, just has very high standards for a partner, after all, she once said, if my third brother marries her, she would surely wed."
Phoebe: "That means she likes handsome ones, after all, old third is such a bore, aside from being handsome, he has no other merits."
Laura Yates, chatting with Vanessa nearby, suddenly chimed in, "Isn’t old third constantly urged to marry? Why not let them try dating?"
Audrey: "I had thought about it before, but my third brother has someone in his heart, although we all think she’s just a figment of his imagination, that girl might not even exist, but third brother insists he’ll find the girl, my third brother is so stubborn, unless he figures it out himself, nobody can convince him."
Phoebe: "No wonder mom is so anxious, I suspect old third might have made up this girl because he doesn’t want a partner?"
Audrey pouted, "I wouldn’t know, anyway, none of us have met that girl."
Outside the bar, Seraphina snagged a taxi just as she stepped out.
Because this street has become an influencer hotspot, many tourists visit this place specifically, so the pedestrian and vehicle flow here is quite busy.
Seraphina ignored Julian who followed her, directly pulled open the front passenger door and got in.
Julian quietly opened the backdoor and sat inside, the driver glanced at them, could tell they were together, but since there was no communication, he assumed they were a couple having a spat, paused slightly before asking Seraphina in the passenger seat, "Miss, where to?"
Seraphina briefly opened her mouth, then realized she hadn’t recalled the hotel’s name.
Just as she bowed her head to look for her room card, Julian’s calm voice came from behind, "The Linchester Grand Hotel."
The driver got the address and drove toward it immediately.
Seraphina just disdainfully turned to look out the car window, perhaps because Julian was also in the car, although she appeared calm, inside her mind was a complete mess.
Her hand rested on her stomach, worried that if she was indeed carrying this man’s child, what would she do?
All the way, heart was in chaos.
