The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1043
The manager smiled and continued, ” Mr. and Mrs. Jardin have reserved the whole place.”
Blake could not hide her envy. She said, “Imagine being that wealthy! One day, I’d love to do the same.”
Liam looked at Blake and smiled, “You will.”
Olivia stopped outside the corridor and said, “Mrs. Jardin just wants to meet Liam, so we don’t need to go in, Ms. Dion. Let’s just sit at the main dining area.”
Blake chuckled and boasted, “I’m sorry, but I’m here to meet my friend. I’ve already texted Madelyn on the way here.”
Liam chuckled and said, “It’s okay. She can come with me. You can go back, Olivia. When we are done, I will send Blake back.”
Olivia furrowed her brows, then swiftly suppressed her emotions. She replied, ” Alright, there are matters regarding your publishing that need my attention. Don’t forget to check your royalties this month. There might be a surprise in there.”
“Let’s go,” said Liam. He opened the door and ignored Olivia. Blake smiled at Liam followed him in.
In the VIP room, Madelyn was feeding Dalton with Margaret by her side. Margaret gazed at the table and swallowed hard, saying, “Oh my, these ribs are smoked. Look at its glistening fat. Just a bite would be heaven.”
“Hi, Madelyn.” Blake greeted and sat beside Madelyn. “Oh, let me see the baby.”
“You’re here too,” Madelyn said with surprise.
“Sorry, we’re late. There was a traffic jam. Can I hold Dalton?” Blake said.
Madelyn passed Dalton to Blake and turned to Liam. She asked, “You’re Xander Gale?”
Liam nodded and greeted, “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Jardin.”
Madelyn smiled and commented, “I didn’t expect you to be so young. Please, have a seat.”
Blake surveyed the VIP room and did not see Zach. She whispered to Madelyn, “Madelyn, is Mr. Jardin not with you?”
Madelyn adjusted Dalton’s hat and explained, “I told him that he didn’t need to come and had him go to work. He’ll join us after we eat. I didn’t want him to make you feel uneasy.”
Blake nodded and knew how uncomfortable it felt. It was like a poor student who just learned she would be dining with the principal, a perfect description of her state of panic.
“Madelyn, you’re so thoughtful. If Mr. Jardin was here, I wouldn’t even dare speak to you,” Blake cried. Zach was never nice to anyone besides Madelyn. Everyone had to be careful around him, even during meals.
“Oh yeah, why did you want to meet Liam, Madelyn? Are you a fan of his books?” Blake asked.
“Yes, Zach had mentioned him, so I wanted to see what the author of this bestseller would look like. Mr. Xander is quite young and talented,” Madelyn complimented Liam.
Liam accepted it, “Thank you.”
After that, Margaret brought Dalton for a walk. Dalton could not sit still and would throw a tantrum if someone did not hold him.
When they were done eating, Madelyn took out the first volume of the first printed book and had Liam sign it for her.
By then, Zach had finished his work and was waiting for Madelyn at The Deli’s entrance.
When Madelyn left, Blake let out a sigh of relief after seeing Madelyn leave in the car. By the time Blake returned to the VIP room, there were still a lot of leftovers.
