A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 196

"You are so childish! Do you just treat your own marriage as nothing, don’t you?" The old man scolds his grandson after hearing his causal remarks.

"I'm not, grandpa, I'm serious, how could I joke about my marriage. You can start preparing for the wedding tomorrow, I want to get married with Jane within a week." Luca says as he holds the hand of the girl called Jane Webb.

"What the hell are you going to do! Never mind. I won’t do anything for you anymore!" Brenden is so angry with him that his face even turns purple. He doesn’t expect anything from his grandson anymore, and just let him alone and do whatever he wants. You must accept sometimes you couldn’t let a disobedient grandson to listen to his grandfather.

Having been idle for these days at home, Luca has thought a lot about his relationship with Butler. He thinks it is very funny that he even could spend so much time in figuring out a question that already has been clearly answered - Butler doesn’t love him anymore! Now matter what he does for her, whatever gone is gone.

What’s the meaning for him being depressed and sad like a dog over the past few days. She won’t give him a look even if he dies at home. Because their love is gone! No! She even won’t hear any news about him because she doesn’t care him at all!

It turns out that I am the one who has always been in romantic! Forget about it! Why would I bother to beg for unrequited love? There must be a girl outside the world that will respond to my love.

He tidies up himself and grabs something simple to eat, and returns to be the same handsome Luca that he used to be.

It is a coincidence that Luca is eating downstairs when he sees Jane passing by and she also sees him siting there gracefully while enjoying his meal.

It is as if Jane has been shot by Cupid's arrows, which magically leads her walking into the restaurant and sits near to Luca.

It is obvious that he is very popular and some of the girls in the restaurant have been staring at him for a long time. She also feels the creepy glances directed at him when she sits near to him.

Luca acts as if he doesn’t see Jane, only focusing eating the food on his plate.

Jane looks at him with embarrassments, seeing that Luca is not paying attention to her, and hearing the mocking voices from the surrounding girls.

She unconsciously tightens her grip on the bag in her hand, and is surprisingly attracted by his coldness.

"Hello, my name is Jane, can I be your friend?" Jane looks at the man who sits there looking out of the window, she takes the initiative to extend her right hand and says.

Luca finally glances at her, just for a while. But he doesn’t seem to interest in her and return to look at the scenery again.

Luca is so hungry that he randomly finds this restaurant and go in to order some food to eat, but he doesn’t expect that a girl who looks like a teenager would inexplicably sit opposite to him.

He doesn’t take it seriously at first, as if he is used to this sort of thing. However the little girl comes over to sit opposite to him and tries to chat him up and make friends with him...what’s going on?

Although he knows that he is quite popular, he doesn’t know that he still looks attractive to those young girls. Do the young girls all like older men like him now?

Luca looks at the little girl who is approximately 18 or 19 in front of him, then turns his head back to look out the window.

Jane is a young girl, no doubt, and today is also the first time she has taken the initiative to hit on another man. Seeing that Luca is not paying attention to her, and that there are other people around laughing at her in this public place, she can’t stand it any longer.

Just when she is about to give up, Luca finally talks to her.

"How old are you?"

"Ah? Hum... I'm 20." Jane doesn't expect that the first thing Luca asks her is her age, so she hemmed and hawed a bit.

"You says you're 20? How come you look like 18 or 19?" Luca looks at Jane's baby face and says slowly.

"Ah! Is that so? But I'm really 20! If you don't believe me, I'll show you my ID card." Jane quickly takes out the small mirror she carries with her and presses it hard to get her ID card that inserted in it out, then she passes it to Luca to check.

Luca picks up that ID card, surprisingly, she's really 20 years old, but it's her nominal age. Her real age is still 18 years old...

The young girl across the table looks as if she could see what Luca is thinking, and takes back her ID card with an awkward smile.

"What do you want to drink, just order one for yourself." Luca summons the waiter, then pushes the menu to Jane and asks her.

Jane takes that menu as if she has won a million dollars lottery and nods her head foolishly, then orders a latte.

"You like me?" Luca asks as he looks at the girl sitting opposite to him.
