Love At The Wrong Table

Are You Talking to Us?

“What do you mean by that?” Emmanuel asked.

Jake continued, “While the Fletcher family excels in the transportation and

information sectors, the Toma family has movable assets throughout Eldoria

and a powerful network of connections. If they’re willing to help us gather

information, we should be able to locate your sister quickly!”

“Let’s go then!” Emmanuel said after hearing his explanation.

His decisiveness caught Jake aback. Still, he quickly regained his composure

and stepped forward to lead the way.

Meanwhile, Shane had also followed Emmanuel to Eldoria.

However, Emmanuel was too occupied with his own matters to pay him any

attention.

The bored Shane was not involved with the matters of the Wolf Warrior Unit,

so he wandered into the commercial district of Eldoria, hoping to find

Roselynn by chance.

“Hello, have you seen this woman?”

His most notable traits were his shamelessness and audacity. Thus, he didn’t

hesitate to stop passersby on the street to inquire about Roselynn.

However, he received nothing but headshakes after showing her photo to

numerous people.

“Roselynn, where could you be?”

Feeling rather disheartened, Shane collapsed onto a bench in the busy

commercial district.

Roselynn had always treated him as a younger brother. Since he was an

orphan, he also had a deep affection for Roselynn, regarding her as his true

older sister.

Now that Alessandra had passed away, Emmanuel would be heartbroken if

anything happened to Roselynn.

This thought filled Shane with profound sadness.

However, his mood suddenly brightened when he saw two beautiful women

emerge from the nearby mall entrance Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

To be honest, the two women weren’t exceptionally stunning–far from

Beatrix’s beauty and certainly not comparable with Mackenzie’s. Yet, their

demeanor was what Shane preferred.

Both women had fair, smooth skin. On top of that, they had sparkling eyes

that made them gentle and endearing.

After his painful experience confessing to Beatrix, Shane lost interest in

women with fiery personalities. He found it pointless to pursue or interact with

such women, regardless of their looks.

Thus, when he saw those two endearing women, he decided to take the

initiative to pursue them.

He certainly didn’t want to be like Frederick, who was still single at 30. If he

wanted to escape the single life, he had to start working hard while he was

young!

‘Ladies! Wait for me!” Shane rushed forward and called out impulsively.

Yet, he overestimated his courage.

As two women turned around, he made eye contact with the woman in the

pink dress and immediately felt his body tingle with electricity.

This can only mean one thing. It’s love! I’m experienced enough to recognize

it! Shane’s face flushed in the color of beets, and his mind wandered off

instantly. If I could marry someone like her, have kids with her, and have

domestic bliss, that would be an idyllic future! Frederick would surely be

jealous of me, and Santiago would be thrilled, too!

“Shane? Is that you?”

“Are you talking to us?”

The two women were surprisingly friendly and did not ignore Shane. When he

suddenly zoned out, they were anxious, repeatedly waving their hands in

front of him to catch his attention.

The woman in the pink dress was Sonia Toma, a 24–year–old daughter of the

Toma family. She had just received a call from her father, informing her that

her grandfather was critically ill and that she needed to return home

immediately to say her last goodbyes.

She had been shopping with her friend when she got the call, so she hurriedly

prepared to leave.

However, she ran into this odd young boy right as she left the mall.

Initially, she thought he might have been sent by her father to pick her up, but

he didn’t seem to be.

“Yes! I’m talking to you!” Shane snapped out of his daze and quickly flashed a

bright smile.

館 “What can we do for you? Do we know each other?” Jenny asked gently. She

was dressed in white yoga pants and a light blue top, giving off an innocent

vibe.

Shane was a clever and perceptive boy. Noticing their anxious expressions,

he realized that they might be in a hurry to leave. If he claimed he was

searching for someone, they would likely tell him they hadn’t seen the person

and quickly leave.

If that were to happen, the chance of getting their contact information,

developing a relationship, and eventually starting a family would be lost!

Therefore, he decided against this approach as it would be akin to shooting

himself in the foot. Struck by sudden inspiration, Shane said cheerfully,

“Ladies, I suddenly have a bad omen that something unfortunate might

happen to you, so I’m here to warn you!
