Bride of Mr.Billion

Chapter 396

Bella’s POV:

Herbert hesitated for a moment and then said with a smile, “It‘s really a man. I don‘t have to lie to you. He is a friend of mine many years ago.”

“Really? I just heard a piece of very gentle music in the restaurant. It must be a very romantic restaurant, isn‘t it? Do you two men go to such a romantic place to eat?” I laughed.

Herbert then said, “It‘s said that the dishes here are very delicious, so we came here.”

“Is it a famous restaurant?” I asked tentatively.

I just wanted to ask which restaurant he was eating in so that I could suddenly appear in front of him.

“Oh, Swan Island. It‘s a very famous restaurant in New York.” Herbert smiled and said.

Hearing this, I remembered the name Swan Island in my heart.

Then I said, “All right, I won‘t disturb you anymore. Go and have your dinner.” “Where are you?” At this time, Herbert suddenly asked. “Oh, I‘m off work and bought something on the way. I‘m almost home.” I immediately lied. Herbert instructed, “It‘s getting dark. Hurry up and go home to have your dinner. Take good care of yourself and the children.”

“Got it.” I nodded.

“I‘m hanging up,” Herbert said, and then hung up the phone. Then I reached out and stopped a taxi. “Miss, where are you heading to?” asked the taxi driver. “Swan Island,” I replied. The taxi driver then turned around and headed in one direction.

In the car, I lowered my head and chuckled. “How will he react when he sees me later?” I thought. “Will he be very shocked?”

“Miss, are you going to Swan Island for dinner?” The taxi driver was a chatterbox and he began to chat with me.

“I‘m going to find my... children‘s father.” I wanted to say “husband“, but after thinking for a moment, i changed my mind. The taxi driver immediately said, “Miss, your family must be rich. Those who go to Swan Island to eat are either rich or noble. I heard that ordinary meals cost thousands of dollars.” “You must be joking. He‘s just eating with his friend” I said with a smile.

Soon, I arrived at Swan Island restaurant.

As soon as I entered the door, a receptionist came forward and asked, “Miss, have you made a reservation?” “Oh, I... My children‘s father is eating inside.” Although I knew that what I said was very vulgar, I was telling the truth.

“Then, is your husband in the hall, the private room, or the revolving restaurant on the top floor?” asked the receptionist,

Hearing this question, I was stunned.

Swan Island restaurant was in a very big building. How would I know which floor Herbert was eating on?

“It‘s reserved under Mr. Wharton,” I said.

The receptionist smiled and said, “Please wait a minute.”

A minute later, the receptionist said to me with a smile, “Miss, Mr. Wharton has booked the revolving restaurant on the top floor tonight.”

“Thank you.” i thanked her and went straight into the elevator.

The promotion poster in the elevator was to introduce this revolving restaurant. An oval–shaped building on the top of the building was a revolving restaurant, surrounded by transparent glass. It looked like a bright pearl in the distance.

There were only more than 20 tables in the revolving restaurant. Of course, it was expensive, and the seats would need to be reserved half a month in advance.

Looking at the poster in the elevator, I frowned and thought, “Didn‘t Herbert just say that this is a good place, so he came here to have dinner on the spur of the moment? But it needs to be reserved half a month in advance.” Thinking of this, I thought that I must have gone to the wrong place. He and his friend must not be eating in the revolving restaurant, but in a private room or in the hall downstairs.

But at this moment, the elevator had reached the top floor. Seeing this, I walked out of the elevator and thought, “Maybe it was arranged by Herbert‘s friend in advance. Let‘s go in and see if he is there.” –

When I got out of the elevator, there was a place full of sofas. A few people were sitting there, reading the newspaper or playing with their mobile phones, Looking at their clothing, I thought, “These people should be the secretaries or drivers of the people who are eating inside. They should be waiting for their bosses to be done with their dinner here.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a familiar figure in a black suit, sitting on a single–person sofa, reading a newspaper.

As soon as I saw him, I knew that I was not at a wrong place.

“Connor!” I happily called out to him. When he heard this voice, Connor abruptly raised his head. When he suddenly saw me standing in front of him, he couldn‘t help but be stunned!

“Is Herbert eating inside?” Seeing that Connor was so stunned when he saw me, I thought Herbert would probably be even more surprised when he saw me.

The next moment, Connor put down the newspaper in his hand and then walked forward in bewilderment. “Miss... Miss Stepanek, why are you here?”

“Oh, I came to New York to do something. I just called Herbert. He said he is having dinner here, so I came to see him.” I smiled and looked into the luxurious revolving restaurant

“Mr. Wharton called you?” There was a look of disbelief in Connor‘s eyes.

At this moment, I noticed the unnatural look on Connor‘s face. Immediately afterward, Connor suddenly blocked my way, he then reached out his hand to pull me to the elevator entrance.

“Miss Stepanek, Mr. Wharton...this date today is very important. It‘s best if you don‘t disturb him. How about this, I‘ll send you to the hotel first. After Mr. Wharton finishes his meal, i‘ll send Mr. Wharton to look for you. What do you think?” When Connor spoke these words, his eyes even glanced towards the entrance. In addition, his hands were gesturing in the air, looking extremely nervous.

A deep sense of doubt rose from within my heart. Connor was someone who knew his limits. He had never touched my body, yet this time, he actually reached out to pull my arm. This was impossible in normal times. Moreover, he was usually very calm and would never panic when faced with trouble. But today, his expression was very flustered. Even his hands were waving in the air, and his eyes looked at the entrance of the revolving restaurant from time to time.

This was too strange! I stared at Connor and asked in a serious tone, “Connor, why are you so nervous today?” “I‘m nervous? I... I am not.” Connor spread out his hands, looking as if he was pretending to be relaxed.

I looked in the direction of the entrance and asked, “Connor, tell me the truth. Who did Herbert ask to have dinner with today?”

I roughly understood. At this moment, the person who was eating with Herbert was definitely not an ordinary friend. Connor was trying his best to chase me away. “This...“.For a moment, Connor couldn‘t reply at all. He must have something he didn‘t want me to know, and it was very serious.

The next moment, I stepped forward.

When Connor saw this, he immediately stretched out his hand, wanting to stop me.

I pushed his hand away and stepped into the entrance.

As soon as I entered the entrance, I saw a world like a transparent crystal palace in my eyes. There were glass and bright lights everywhere. The darkness and the lights outside seemed to be very far away from here. It was like a palace in the night sky.

Soft music floated in the restaurant, and more than a dozen tables were set up by the window. Some tables were occupied by two people, and some were occupied by three or four people. Most of them were couples, who were whispering. Although there were dozens of people eating at the same time, it was like a quiet palace.

This kind of environment shocked me. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Looking around, I finally found the person I was looking for in the farthest place away from me. When I saw the person sitting opposite Herbert, I immediately understood! It was a sweet–looking girl who was about 25 or 26 years old and she was dressed delicately. Her almond–shaped eyes were particularly eye–catching. She should like the person in front of her very much, because her eyes had been staring at the

person in front of her, and she was smiling like a flower. From time to time, she would pick up food for the person in front of her. Seeing the girl in front of me, I clenched my fists and felt a knot in my heart.

It turned out that this was the reason why Herbert often returned to New York.

He even said that his parents did not get along well with each other and that his mother was in poor health. It turned out that everything was fake!
