NOVPUBChapter 1142: 520 Tiger_2 Chapter 1142: 520 Tiger_2 Kelly Martinez whirled her head around, cold and steep in her gaze, gritting her teeth and said, “You’re spying on me?”
“Kelly, I’m concerned about you.”
“Spit, stop pretending.
Just tell me what you want?”
“That’s what I should ask you, that Green Water Pearl, it’s yours, right?”
Kelly clenched her fingers into a tight fist, her muscles tensing: “What exactly are you trying to do?”
Kelly moved further away to avoid terrifying the child with her ferocity.
“So this is the secret you’ve been hiding all along, Violetta Gartia, Vanessa Aria, things are getting more interesting.”
Kelly responded irritably: “Don’t mention that damn woman to me, she’s not worthy of that name.”
The person across gave a low chuckle: “Great minds think alike.”
Kelly squinted her eyes: “Night Hawk, I know that you were forced into circumstances before, but now, there is an opportunity for you to atone.”
——
Kelly hung up the phone and turned around, not seeing Alexander Gentleman, pausing her breath involuntarily.
Straight away, a man holding Alexander Gentleman emerged slowly from behind the flower wall.
Seeing that familiar face, Kelly stiffened, subconsciously wanted to turn away.
“Ms.
Martinez, you seem to be very afraid of me,” the man holding Alexander came over with a smile.
...
Alexander was behaving well in his arms, his innocent wide eyes looking at Kelly, then back to the man in front of him, smiling and hugging the man’s neck.
Kelly flicked a curl by her temple, her eyes flirting, and her glances full of allure: “How did you know my last name is Martinez?”
“We had a brief encounter before which you may have forgotten.
The owner of this shop is a junior of mine, from whom I learned your name.
I hope you do not mind my audacity,” the man’s speech was sophisticated, and his behavior was gentlemanly, without any feel of debauchery, but reasonable as a gentle breeze.
Kelly let her eyebrow rise: “Oh, that’s pretty abrupt indeed.”
“Alexander, come to auntie.
There are a lot of bad people around, be careful not to let any suspicious people hold you, or they might kidnap you and you won’t see your parents anymore.”
Kelly extended her hand, and Alexander obediently returned to her arms.
At that moment, the two of them were extremely close, close enough to smell each other’s scent.
Kelly’s heart quivered for a moment, she nonchalantly took a step back, oblivious to the man’s suddenly somber gaze.
Kelly carried Alexander and turned to leave, but the man followed closely.
Kelly suddenly turned around: “Stop following me.”
The man touched his nose and laughed: “I came to pick up something from Esther.”
His eyes were as deep as obsidian, always carrying a sense of affection when he looked at people.
As if, in the whole world, only you reflected in his eyes were the most precious.
“Why do you have such strong hostility towards me?”
Kelly snorted: “Because you’re quite unpleasant to look at.”
She held Alexander and turned to leave, striding swiftly into the threshold.
The man stood in the sunlight, looking at Kelly’s retreating figure, his eyes gradually deepening.
When Aubree Groove came out after trying on clothes and saw Kelly carrying Alexander and walking in angrily, she shook her head with a smile.
“Who has upset our Kelly?”
Alexander immediately shook his head, “Not me.”
He pointed behind him, “Uncle.”
Aubree’s gaze fell on the doorway, and when she saw the man entering, she instinctively paused: “Professor Gartia?”
She glanced at Kelly without giving anything away.
Kelly was carrying Alexander into the backyard, not casting a single glance at the man behind her.
“Aubree,” Violetta Gartia nodded and smiled, “We meet again.”
“Aubree, I’ve adjusted the measurements…Senior?
Senior, why didn’t you let me know you were coming in advance?” Esther immediately came over.
“I came to visit Alexander.” Violetta Gartia handed over a beautifully wrapped paper bag, “I bought some toys for Alexander.”
Esther laughed: “Our Alexander is so fortunate.
Let me thank you on his behalf, senior.”
Her Alexander was really likable.
With just one meeting, he was able to make this usually cold and distant senior to step off his high horse.
She invited him to the garden, where there were stone tables and chairs set up under the grapevines.
After Aubree and Violetta Gartia sat down, Esther told Aubree, “Please keep our senior company, I’m going to make tea.” She left for the kitchen right away.
Aubree’s smile was warm and mild: “Did Professor Gartia find his friend yet?”
Violetta Gartia glanced at her, a subtle quirk at the corner of his eyebrow: “Of course I found her.”
Esther’s ears perked up.
That night when Violetta Gartia brought out the Green Water Pearl, it rocked the entire antique world.
The friend Aubree mentioned was the one who gave Violetta Gartia the Green Water Pearl.
