‘Damn it! I just went to the bathroom to change clothes and make sure everything is prepared for the
confession.What is happening right now?’ Jeffrey thought in confusion.
Behind him, the waiter who was pushing a cake cart wasn't sure what to do next and stared at Jeffrey,
awaiting instructions.
"Sir, should we proceed with the plan?"
‘Of course not! I wanted to surprise Wendy with my confession.But with Ryan and Precious here, how
can I do that?’ Before Wendy and Ryan could even notice him, Jeffrey pushed the waiter into a corner.
"Sir-"
"Don't show up yet!" Jeffrey interrupted.
"What? Well, then I—"
"Hide yourself first.Don't come out until I call you!"
"Okay!"
The waiter nodded and discreetly left, making sure the cake cart made no sound.
Three minutes later, Jeffrey was only meters away from the table.
From where he stood, he saw that the food he had ordered was already served on the table.There
were supposed to be only two steaks, but three were served on the table.Ryan cut the steak and
pushed the plate in front of Precious.
"Aren't you hungry? Eat this."
"Thank you, Daddy!"
Precious pushed Wendy's plate towards Ryan and said, "Daddy, cut it for Mommy too!"
"What? No, thanks," Wendy refused, not even giving it a single thought.
However, Ryan was already starting to cut the steak.She looked intently at what he was doing and
sighed.
Once Ryan was done cutting the steak, he poured half a glass of red wine and started eating as they
chatted.
Jeffrey observed with widened eyes.
In his preoccupation, he didn't even notice how Precious addressed Wendy!
"Shit! He's eating my steak, drinking my red wine, and flirting with the woman I like!’
As he continued to watch the scene unfold, Jeffrey couldn't help but feel cuckolded.He slowly strode
over towards them and let out a weak cough to attract their attention.
"What took you so long in that bathroom, Jeffrey?" Wendy said angrily, the annoyance clearly etched
on her face.
"I thought you went there to avoid paying for dinner!" Jeffrey's face darkened.
He didn't expect that she would think of him in that way! ‘Damn it! Am I that unreliable?’ The corner of
his mouth twitched.
It was only then that Wendy realized that Jeffrey had changed clothes.
Originally, he was wearing a jacket and a pair of jeans.But now, he was wearing a black suit, with his
green hair meticulously brushed up, revealing his smooth forehead.It was rare for him to wear formal
clothes, and now he looked more elegant.
Wendy swallowed the steak in her mouth and asked in surprise, "Why did you change your clothes?"
Jeffrey glanced at Ryan and noticed that he was staring at him.He coughed and said, "Oh, the waiter
accidentally spilled something on my clothes just now..."
"Oh, I see."
Wendy didn't doubt him at all.She then pointed at the seat next to Ryan and said, "Sit down and eat!"
Jeffrey looked at the table and his mouth slightly opened in shock.
"Shit! There were only three steaks on the table, and each of them already had one.Is there still one
more reserved for me?’ He wasn't brave enough to say it out loud.
Reluctantly, he sat down next to Ryan and greeted, "Hello, Uncle Ryan, Precious.Why are you here?"
"For dinner," Ryan said simply.
"What? YWood is so big and full of restaurants.
But you happened to come to the same restaurant and the same floor? I don't believe you! However,
he pursed his lips and kept his thoughts to himself.
Ryan's commanding aura was enough to strike fear deep in his heart.
When they were young, Ryan had always been calm and steady.However, at that time, he wasn't very
cold to people yet.
Moreover, his aura wasn't as domineering as it was now.But even then, no one tried to provoke him.
That was because of his vindictive nature.He held a secret list deep in his head.
And whenever someone offended him, he would place their name on that list and made sure that he
exacted revenge towards them.
At that time, Jeffrey was often scolded by his grandparents and parents because of Ryan.
Maybe it was because Ryan greatly overshadowed him ever since he was a child.
Although Ryan did treat him well later, there was something with Ryan that made him instinctively
revere him.
‘Damn it! How can I deal with my uncle who's six years older than me?’ With a resigned expression,
Jeffrey sat down next to Ryan.
Wendy looked at both of them.
People said that Oliver family’s genes were really good.
Ryan, Luke, Brian, and Jeffrey all looked gorgeous.
But they were different to one another.
‘Ryan is noble and elegant” Luke is handsome and funny; Jeffrey is free and light-hearted; and
Brian...Ah, forget him"
Even though Jeffrey was wearing a formal suit while Ryan was wearing casual clothes, Ryan's aura
was still incomparably stronger.
Now that they were sitting together, it was as though Jeffrey didn't exist at all.
Wendy subtly shook her head.
‘Heck! Luckily, Ryan didn't enter the entertainment industry.If he did, Jeffrey would never have become
the most desirable man"
While Wendy was lost at her thoughts, Ryan called the waiter and ordered another steak for Jeffrey.
"Precious, I've bought you a gift.I'll send it to you some other day," Jeffrey said.
"That's great, Bruce!"
Upon hearing that, Wendy was shocked.She then remembered that Jeffrey was Ryan's nephew, and
Precious and Jeffrey were cousins.She let out a silent cough, and she almost spat the wine in her
mouth.
All of a sudden, there were two tissues right in front of her.
One came from Ryan, while the other came from Jeffrey.She looked at both of them intently.
The two men looked at each other and shared a cold look.
Neither of them withdrew their hands.
Wendy coughed again and, not wanting to offend anyone, took another tissue by herself.
The two then withdrew their hands silently.
She looked at both of them, trying to make sense what was happening.
‘Why do I feel like the atmosphere between the both of them is tense?”
Soon, Jeffrey broke the silence between him and Ryan.
He blinked his eyes and, with a smile, said, "Uncle Ryan, I've heard that Grandma has arranged some
blind dates for you.They're all ladies coming from rich families, and all of them are beautiful! Is there
anyone among them that you like?"
‘Blind dates?’ Wendy was stunned when she heard it.
Ryan squinted at Jeffrey coldly, which made Jeffrey move restlessly in his seat.
"No," Ryan answered.
Jeffrey said nothing more.
Ryan took a sip of wine and fired back "You're not young anymore.Your mother has always wanted you
to quit the entertainment industry.I heard that she has begun looking for a lady for you!"
The expression on Jeffrey's face shifted.
‘How come I'm not aware of that?’ As though he read Jeffrey's mind, Ryan added, "You will know about
it soon."
"Shit! Then I have to confess my love to Wendy as soon as possible! And then I can tell my mom that I
already have a girlfriend"
While he was busy thinking of a way to execute his confession, he noticed that Precious began to cling
to Wendy's neck.
"Mommy, I'm full.I'm so sleepy..."
"Then I'll take you home so you can rest!"
"Okay!" A loud rattling sound echoed across the room.
The knife and fork that Jeffrey was holding dropped on the plate.With eyes wide open, he couldn't help
but repeat what he had just heard.
"Mommy? You call Wendy your mommy?"
