1239 Words
The two clinked glasses and after drinking together, Emily Snow smiled and said:
"Eat quickly, the food here is delicious, it's not as good when it gets cold!"
Alexander Reed nodded, but didn't eat, only carefully tending to his daughter.
This scene made Emily Snow feel envious. As she secretly assessed Alexander Reed, her face couldn't help but flush, her heart beating faster.
Alexander Reed's appearance, though not stunningly handsome, was still comparable to the best in all of North River City.
A pair of sword-like eyebrows, exuding heroic spirit. In his bright, sparkling eyes, there was a hidden sadness, full of past stories.
Moreover, his meticulous care for his daughter showed all the warmth of a loving father.
Such a man was irresistible to women.
However, at this moment, an unexpected voice suddenly rang out near the three of them.
"Emily, what a coincidence! You're here too!"
Hearing this voice, Emily Snow's face immediately changed, turning a bit cold.
"Gabriel Mitchell, why are you here? Are you following me?"
Alexander Reed's eyes flicked over briefly. The newcomer was a young man with short blond hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, dressed in a bright red Armani suit, very eye-catching, with the air of a playboy!
But he wasn't interested in the other party, only focusing on taking care of his daughter.
Gabriel Mitchell glanced at him, a flash of darkness in his eyes, then looked at Emily Snow with a smile:
"Emily, what are you saying? You make it sound like I'm some kind of stalker. I'm just having a meal with friends, it's just a coincidence that I ran into you!"
Emily Snow laughed coldly in anger, saying:
"What a coincidence indeed! A single person like you, coming to a family restaurant for a meal! And just when I arrive!"
Gabriel Mitchell awkwardly adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, but he quickly smiled and said:
"Emily, why are you deliberately provoking me? Everyone in North River City knows I like you. Moreover, the Snow and Mitchell families have always had good relations. My parents also hope we can be together."
Emily Snow laughed coldly again:
"Just because your parents like me, I have to be with you? Aren't you overestimating the Mitchell family? I'll say it one last time, Gabriel Mitchell, please leave, don't disturb my meal with my friend!"
Gabriel Mitchell clenched his fist, suppressing the anger in his heart, gritting his teeth and saying each word:
"Emily, do you really want to be so heartless?"
This time Emily Snow didn't even look at him.
"Gabriel Mitchell, I've already said, I will never like you! Also, please use my full name - Emily Snow! Don't call me Emily this, Emily that, making others misunderstand!"
"That's enough!"
Gabriel Mitchell slammed his fist on the table, startling Lyra Reed who suddenly burrowed into Alexander Reed's chest.
This caused a cold glint to appear in Alexander Reed's eyes!
Emily Snow also gasped in surprise.
"Gabriel Mitchell, what are you trying to do?"
"What am I trying to do? On the contrary, I want to ask what you're trying to do? Emily Snow, after all, I, Gabriel Mitchell, am the young master of the Mitchell Group! I've been pursuing you for so long, yet you won't even glance at me! Instead, you come to a family restaurant with this pretty boy! Don't think I'm a fool!"
Emily Snow's face turned ice-cold.
"What are you implying?"
"What am I implying? Let me tell you, I see it clearly now, you must have gotten together with this pretty boy, right? Two years ago, when you were studying abroad and I wasn't by your side, this mixed-race child must be the one you had with him, right?"
Emily Snow stood up, slamming the table.
"Gabriel Mitchell, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Nonsense? I think I must have hit a sore spot, that's why you're so angry! I've always wondered, why a outstanding man like me pursuing you doesn't move you at all! It turns out you already had someone else! And even had an illegitimate child! No wonder you treat me like this!"
"You've gone too far!"
Emily Snow raised her hand and slapped Gabriel Mitchell hard across the face!
After this slap, Gabriel Mitchell's eyes turned icy cold, and he completely lost his composure!
"You b***h! You want to die!"
With that, Gabriel Mitchell directly moved to slap her back.
Emily Snow's face turned as white as wax! This slap was too strong! If it hit her face, it would surely ruin her features!
But!
At this critical moment, a dark shadow rushed forward, directly intercepting the slap meant for Emily Snow, fiercely striking Gabriel Mitchell's cheek instead, causing him to stagger back several steps.
Gabriel Mitchell coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with two large teeth. His gold-rimmed glasses flew off, shattering into pieces on the ground!
He turned his head fiercely, his eyes like daggers, staring at Alexander Reed, who was slowly withdrawing his hand, casually taking a tissue from the table to wipe his hand!
"You little bastard! You dare hit me?"
Alexander Reed's face was ice-cold.
"Your personal affairs, I won't interfere! But my daughter is not someone you can casually insult!"
Gabriel Mitchell laughed coldly.
"I'll insult her if I want to, what can you do about it?"
Alexander Reed glanced at him.
"I'll beat you until your own mother won't recognize you."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Gabriel Mitchell laughed like a madman, his eyes full of smugness and contempt!
"This is the first time someone has dared to talk big to me like this! Let me tell you, I'll still insult her today, you bastard child! You bastard child! What can you do to me, huh?"
Alexander Reed's face was like ice, while Emily Snow immediately came to Alexander Reed's side, trying to dissuade him:
"Alexander, don't be reckless. Although Gabriel Mitchell isn't a good person, his martial arts are very formidable, he has a black belt in Taekwondo! You can't beat him!"
Alexander Reed handed Lyra Reed to Emily Snow.
"Please help me look after my daughter for a moment."
"Alexander, aren't you listening to me? Don't fight with Gabriel Mitchell, we can call the police!"
Alexander Reed clasped his hands behind his back, walking towards Gabriel Mitchell.
"I've already said, I'll beat him until his own mother won't recognize him."
Watching Alexander Reed approach, Gabriel Mitchell laughed coldly and arrogantly.
"You little brat, you really don't know life from death! Fine, you slapped me once, I'll pay you back! I'll let you know how miserably those who offend me, Gabriel Mitchell, end up!"
"You talk too much!"
With that, Alexander Reed directly launched a whip-like kick.
"You don't know life from death!"
Gabriel Mitchell was extremely contemptuous, not taking Alexander Reed seriously at all. But he didn't expect that leg to suddenly move as fast as the wind, reaching him in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, a pain shot through his stomach!
"Boom——!"
Gabriel Mitchell flew backwards, violently crashing into two tables behind him, the pain so intense it made him grit his teeth. His internal organs felt like they were turning inside out, making even breathing difficult!
"What?"
Emily Snow's face immediately changed, her small mouth slightly open, her beautiful eyes full of shock!
As for Lyra Reed, she excitedly clapped her hands repeatedly, her small face flushed red.
