Chapter 1370 Curious
“You don’t have to shout. I wasn’t the one who spread the rumors since I also heard this from someone else. What’s wrong, Juan? Do you also think these rumors are malicious?” Sally asked.
Juan glared at Sally and stopped talking. She was good with her words. He would only hurt himself if he continued to argue with her.
Meanwhile, back at the Imperial Garden, the maids had already prepared everything at the dining table. Nicole looked at the appetizing food with a satisfied look on her face.
Meanwhile, Maya came out from the kitchen while eating an apple. “What do you think, Mommy? Don’t you think all the food looks extra tasty after I helped?”
“Of course! Your cooking has improved a lot, Maya. All the meals prepared looked scrumptious. Even I can’t wait to dig in.”
“As long as you’re happy, I’m happy too, Mommy. I bet Juan will be satisfied when he sees the meal that I prepared. I’m going to make sure he pays me back for all the efforts I spent on him.”
Nina came in not long after.
“You’re back, Nina,” Nicole greeted her.
“Yeah. Is Juan not back yet?” Nina asked.
“I think he’ll be home soon.”
Right after Nicole finished speaking, a maid quickly came running over to her. “Mr. Juan is back, Mrs. Seet.”
Nicole ordered, “Go to the study room and inform Mr. Seet to come down.”
“Right away, Ma’am.” The maid quickly rushed over to the study room to look for Evan.
Nina and Maya exchanged glances with each other. They smiled as they walked toward the courtyard.
They could not wait to meet Juan’s girlfriend. They wondered what she would look like and if she was really suitable for him.
When they arrived at the entrance in the living room, they could already see Juan and Sally walking alongside each other, whispering things that none of them could hear.
“Wow, she’s really pretty. Even her outfits are beautiful. She looks like a perfect match for Juan when they walk alongside each other,” Maya exclaimed.
“I doubt he’d like her if she wasn’t pretty enough. But I never thought he would bring her back home so fast,” Nina uttered.
“What’s wrong, Nina? Do you think something is off?”
“They only knew each other for a few days. Don’t you think they’re moving too fast? At the very least, they should get to know each other a bit more before he brings her back home.”
“That’s nothing. Maybe he could not keep back his feelings for her, so he decided to bring her back to meet us as soon as he can.”
“What makes you so sure about that?” Suddenly, Kyle’s voice could be heard from behind.
Looking at him, Maya chuckled. “I’m just guessing.”
“You might be wrong about this,” he commented as Juan and Sally slowly walked up to the three of them.
Sally’s eyes quickly glanced over at Kyle. She was feeling rather complicated as she thought the person Sophia originally wanted to introduce her to was him instead of Juan.
During that moment, she had very little care about who was the one she was being introduced to. The only thing she cared about was achieving her goal. So this barely even bothered her.
“Nice to meet you. You must be Juan’s girlfriend. I’m really surprised at how beautiful you look.” Maya could not help but compliment Sally when she saw the latter.
Sally felt awkward when Maya addresses her as Juan’s girlfriend. “Nice to meet you, too. My name is Sally Roberts. You can call me Sally.”
“A pretty name for a pretty young lady. You better take good care of her, Juan,” Maya jokingly said.
With a slightly awkward look on his face, Juan sheepishly chuckled. What do you mean I have to take good care of her? We’re just acting. Acting!
“Mommy had already informed the kitchen to prepare our meals. Let’s go have a chat while we have lunch together.”
“Alright,” Juan replied.
At the dining table, Nicole was sizing Sally up. Although the latter was slightly blushing, the beauty and charm still made it hard for a person to not be mesmerized by her. She was truly one of a kind.
No wonder Mom introduced her to Juan. He even likes her so much that he brought her home to introduce her to us in such a short time. This young girl really is a looker. Nicole was feeling quite satisfied.
“So, your name is Sally?” she asked.
“Yes, Mrs. Seet. It’s really a pleasure to meet you.”
Nicole stood up and handed her a gift she had prepared. “This is a present to commemorate our first time meeting each other. It’s nothing much. I hope you will like it.”
