NOVPUBChapter 1175: Chapter 1175: Waiting in Vain_1 Chapter 1175 -1175: Waiting in Vain_1 “Dad, how did you know I was here?” Cindy Clarke just asked.
Joshua Clarke was a bit embarrassed before he said, “I asked Wendy for help in finding out.”
Cindy laughed and said, “Wendy really has some skills these days, she can even find this out.”
“Cindy, don’t misunderstand.” Joshua Clarke hurriedly said, “It’s not intentional, we didn’t purposely investigate or follow you or anything.
It’s just that Wendy now runs a restaurant and has a good network, so she just asked a friend.”
Cindy directly asked: “Dad, what do you need me for?”
Even if Joshua Clarke was displeased by Cindy’s attitude.
“You’re not willing to see me, are you?” Joshua Clarke said with a frown, “Rarely do we see each other and you have nothing to say?
Don’t you want to ask me how I’m doing?”
Thinking of what Christy Xenos had said, he continued, “Even if you’re not concerned about your mom and your sister, don’t you want to ask me how I’m doing?”
“You haven’t visited me once.” Joshua Clarke said, forlorn.
Because Adrian Zhekova had been keeping tabs on the Clarke Family all this while.
So, Cindy was quite clear about how Joshua Clarke was doing.
...
“That’s my fault.” Cindy said, “When there’s a chance, I’ll bring Morgan to see you.”
“How have you been lately?” Joshua Clarke asked again.
“I’m fine.” Cindy said.
“Dad, so you came to find me because!”
Joshua Clarke looked around and suggested, “Why don’t we find a place to have a good chat?”
“I know a good café nearby.” Wendy and Christy Xenos were waiting there.
Who would have thought, Cindy countered, “No need to go that far, let’s just go to the café inside the Academy.
At this time, most students are in class, so there won’t be many people in the café.”
Upon hearing this, Joshua Clarke was suddenly at a loss.
Wendy and Christy Xenos were still waiting at that café.
And Wendy and Christy Xenos had strongly urged him to bring Cindy there.
“Isn’t it not permissible to just casually enter the Academy?
That wouldn’t be right?” Joshua Clarke tried to resist.
“No problem at all, what’s preventing us from entering?
As long as you register properly, since it’s a student bringing you in.
Besides, are parents not allowed to visit their children now?
There’s no such rule in any school.”
“I know the café outside of the Academy.
They rely on the fact that they are far from the urban area, and there are few places for daily leisure and entertainment around, so the coffee there is both bad and expensive.” Cindy explained with a smile.
“Pingla Academy has always been famous for its cooking, so the food at the café inside is excellent, which definitely won’t damage the reputation of Pingla Academy.
Normally people from outside can’t even eat there, so with this rare opportunity, you should give it a try.”
She finished speaking, and without waiting for a response, she registered their names and entered the school with Joshua Clarke.
At this point, Joshua Clarke had no opportunity to inform Wendy Clark and Christy Xenos that they wouldn’t be able to make it to the café. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
He could only let Wendy Clark and Christy Xenos wait there in vain.
Actually, Pingla Academy is quite large, and while the café is indeed located within the Academy, the distance from the main gate to the café is not short.
It’s even further than the café outside of the school.
Cindy insisted on this because she suspected that based on Joshua Clarke’s reaction, someone was probably waiting for her at the café outside the school, either Christy Xenos or Wendy, or possibly both.
Even if she was just being suspicious and no one was waiting.
Cindy would rather stay at Pingla Academy.
At least this is her own turf, and it’s safe enough.
If anything happens, it should be easier to resolve.
Joshua Clarke, finding it odd, asked: “Are we not there yet?”
Cindy just said: “Soon.”
“It’s said to be in the school, but it’s actually quite far.” Joshua Clarke was anxious, “Had I known, I would have preferred to go to the café outside the school.
I calculated, if we were going to the outside café, we would have arrived by now.”
Cindy apologetically said: “Well, we can’t go back now, wouldn’t that mean we would have to walk even further?”
“I misjudged the distance.
Usually, I’m always at the school, whether it’s from the classroom building, the dormitory, or the cafeteria, it’s always very close.
Didn’t expect it to be so far from the school gate.” Cindy explained.
What else could Joshua Clarke say?
He could only continue walking with Cindy.
Finally, they arrived at the café and found a place to sit down.
Cindy ordered two cups of coffee.
The coffee was served quickly.
Cindy asked, “Dad, can we talk about why you wanted to see me now?”
“Or, did you just miss me, and came to check on me?” Cindy asked with a smile.
His face heated at her words.
He complained that Cindy never came to see him.
But he had never thought of visiting Cindy either.
Unless someone reminded him, he would not have thought of it.
When he has nothing to do, he thoroughly enjoys wandering the Belfard bird and flower market with some newly acquainted older gentlemen.
Who would think about Cindy?
“There’s something I need your help with.” Joshua Clarke said.
“Sure, go ahead.” Cindy made a gesture indicating she was all ears.
When it came to the key point, without the urging of Christy Xenos and Wendy, Joshua Clarke hesitated on how to begin.
While he was hesitating, Joshua Clarke’s mobile phone rang.
Seeing that it was from Christy Xenos.
Obviously, it had been quite a while since he had brought Cindy over, so Christy Xenos called to urge him.
But he couldn’t bring her over, could he?
Cindy glanced over and asked: “Does mom need you for something?”
“Err! yeah! yeah!” Joshua Clarke responded vaguely.
Cindy then said: “Aren’t you going to answer it?”
“Oh, I’m answering, I’m answering now.” Joshua Clarke answered the call.
He heard Christy Xenos ask, “Why haven’t you guys come over yet?
Is it because that bitch is unwilling to go with you?”
“Oh, I’m outside right now, just in the café inside Pingla Academy, won’t be coming back for a while.” Joshua Clarke thought he was smart, feeling that he subtly revealed some information.
But Cindy easily figured it out.
It confirmed for her that likely Christy Xenos was in that café outside the school.
Christy Xenos also sensed it, they probably couldn’t make it over.
“You’re sure you’ve seen Cindy, right?” Christy Xenos asked.
“Of course, you don’t worry..” Joshua Clarke said, not daring to mention Cindy’s name.
“Alright then, don’t forget to mention it, absolutely make sure you do!” Christy Xenos urged.
“Got it.” Joshua Clarke ended the call.
Cindy was drinking her coffee on her own, not asking why Christy Xenos needed him.
Joshua Clarke was the first to lose patience.
After sipping his coffee to moisten his throat, he tentatively asked, “Cindy, I heard that your Fourth Uncle is in a relationship with your best friend?”
Cindy raised her eyebrows: “Dad, your information is pretty up-to-date.”
Seeing that she had admitted it, Joshua Clarke couldn’t help but complain, “Since your Fourth Uncle is single, and he’s a pretty good person, why didn’t you think about your sister?
Your sister is single too.”
“How great would it be if you introduced your sister to him?” said Joshua Clarke.
