Chapter 1144: Chapter 1147: Accompanying Richard Coldwell to Meet His Ex-Girlfriend (1) Chapter 1144: Chapter 1147: Accompanying Richard Coldwell to Meet His Ex-Girlfriend (1) More than half an hour later, Lily, dressed in her evening best, appeared in a high-end hotel coffee shop in B City, accompanied by Richard Coldwell.
As soon as they showed up, they attracted a lot of attention.
The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman naturally drew eyes.
Moreover, even though people didn't know the woman's identity, Richard Coldwell's strikingly handsome face was well-known in the high society of B City.
Many whispered among themselves.
“Look, look, that's Mr. Coldwell!”
“When did Mr. Coldwell return to the country?”
“Ah, Mr. Coldwell is still so handsome and stunning. I'm about to drown in his deep blue eyes…”
“Hey, who is the woman with Mr. Coldwell? He is known to steer clear of women, so why would he be out on a date with one?”
“I don't know, maybe his sister? Doesn't Mr. Coldwell have a sister?”
Everyone chattered back and forth.
Luckily, since this was a place frequented by the wealthy and noble, even their private discussions were conducted in hushed tones, not daring to be too blatantly intrusive.
This spared Lily from too much embarrassment.
“Richard Coldwell, I feel like I have boarded a pirate ship,” Lily said to Richard Coldwell after they had taken their seats.
If she had known they were coming to such a place, she would have never come.
Lily grumbled, “Why didn't you choose a more secluded spot to meet, and instead chose such a crowded place? Are you intentionally setting me up?”
With Richard Coldwell's status, he could have chosen a private club or a place with private rooms.
His deep blue eyes were simply too conspicuous, making him recognizable wherever he went.
Seating himself next to her, Richard Coldwell said coldly, “She refused to meet in a place with fewer people.”
After speaking, he furrowed his brows.
For a moment, Lily felt that the man beside her was enveloped by a dispassionate melancholy.
But just as quickly, that illusion disappeared.
She shook her head, telling herself she was overthinking it. He was Richard Coldwell, after all, an emotionless robot.
How could he possibly show such a lonely expression?
The coffee and desserts were quickly served, but neither of them was in the mood to enjoy them.
Richard Coldwell's deep blue eyes were fixed intently on the entrance of the hotel coffee shop, while Lily, with her head down, silently sent a text message to Aidan Lucas.
If she didn't inform Aidan Lucas in advance about her coming out to meet with Richard Coldwell, that jealous man might be even more furiously jealous when he heard about it from someone else.
Lily certainly didn't dare to anger Aidan Lucas, who was both easily angered and incredibly jealous.
Just after sending the message, Richard Coldwell's chilling voice rang out, “Here she comes.”
In his usually indifferent tone, there was unexpectedly a hint of nervousness.
Lily immediately looked up in the direction he was seeing.
At the entrance of the coffee shop, a petite figure appeared.
The girl had a pair of bright black eyes, which were looking towards Richard Coldwell.
The moment she saw Richard Coldwell, her eyes, clear as spring water, could not help but tremble slightly.
Her watery eyes, seemingly covered by layers of light, momentarily displayed panic and fear, looking as though she might start crying the next second.
Not just the nearby Richard Coldwell, but even Lily was almost struck dumb.
She had never seen a girl like her before.
If she were a man, at that moment, she would definitely do all she could to protect her from crying.
Of course, the girl did not cry. After she saw Richard Coldwell, she pointed faintly at a direction with the waiter and then walked over.
Her waterfall-like black hair was tied up, revealing the delicate and pale face beneath.
Those clear and watery eyes were now looking at Richard Coldwell and Lily, the eyes that seemed as though they could drip water moments ago now held a gentle curve, free of any panic.
