Billionaire's Reborn Baby novel Chapter 187

Eliot brought the Dickersons into a private room in a Chinese restaurant.

He didn't say anything, waiting for the dishes. Mr. Dickerson was also calm. He wouldn't take the initiative to ask if Eliot didn't talk about it.

Sydnee was extremely anxious. As she ate, she couldn't help but glance at Eliot. She felt that this scene was almost the same as that of the blind date just now.

Coincidentally, she received a text message from Emily. Sydnee took out her phone and saw two words at the first glance: "Marry you."

"What?! Marry me?!"

Eliot was speechless.

Mr. Dickerson coughed softly, "What happened? Behave yourself."

Mrs. Dickerson clenched Sydnee's sleeve and said to Eliot, "She usually behaves well. She might be nervous today about meeting Mr. Eliot."

Sydnee didn't reply.

Eliot smiled and said, "Miss Sydnee, what made you so surprised? I seem to have heard that someone is going to marry you?"

Sydnee didn't know how to answer.

Mr. and Mrs. Dickerson also heard that. However, it was not appropriate to ask since Eliot was also there. Now that Eliot had asked, they just looked at Sydnee, puzzled.

Sydnee gave a hollow laugh and said, "It's just my classmate's name, Mary! And I was quite surprised, because she was going to get married."

Mr. Dickerson nodded, "Oh, that's right."

Mrs. Dickerson also looked away. But Eliot seemed to have known exactly that Sydnee was lying.

Sydnee looked down and read the text message carefully.

"Perhaps he wants to marry you."

? ? ? ?

Sydnee tried to calm down with several cups of tea.

Mr. Dickerson said, "We should have visited you in the hospital with Sydnee, but ... when we were there that day, we met the Buckleys, and we just left."

Eliot held his teacup and said, "Actually, it wasn't all for Miss Sydnee that day. It was for my sister. Mr. and Mrs. Dickerson, you don't have to take it so seriously."

Mrs. Dickerson looked at him as if he was her son-in-law. She felt more satisfied with him. "Really? What a wonderful boy you are."

Eliot looked at Sydnee and said, "It's just that because of what had happened that day, people spread rumors. I'm afraid that it will cause trouble for Miss Sydnee, so I'm here to apologize."

Sydnee smiled politely, "You don't have to do this, Mr. Eliot. Actually, I'm fine."

Mr. and Mrs. Dickerson were both decent, and they did not like to force Eliot to marry Sydnee. Hearing Sydnee's words, they all looked at her in relief.

Eliot was more or less aware of the Dickersons' ways. However, the more generous they were, the more ashamed he became. After all, he was responsible for what had happened.

He looked down at the tea and asked, "I heard that the Buckleys sent something to your family a few days ago?"

"Yes, but we sent it back." Mrs. Dickerson explained, "Marquise is not Sydnee's type. We don't like him neither, so we arranged a blind date for her today. However... never mind."

After a while, Eliot said, "Let me know if Marquise comes to you. I'll fix this."

Mrs. Dickerson looked at him and asked hesitantly, "Are you going to fight with him?"

"No." Eliot smiled.

The dishes were all served. They had a peaceful meal. Sydnee was worried that any minute Eliot would suddenly say that he wanted to marry her. Fortunately, he did not say that in the end.

Eliot paid the bill and they walked out of the restaurant. Eliot took Mr. and Mrs. Dickerson to the car and asked Sydnee, "Do you like someone?"

Sydnee had never experienced such a topic that only girlfriends would talk about when getting together. She did not have a girlfriend squad, so Eliot became the first person to ask her such a question.

Sydnee was stunned by his question. She blushed, "What..."

Seeing her blushing face, Eliot took it for granted that she had liked someone. Then He asked curiously, "If you like someone, why did you go out on a blind date?"

Only then did Sydnee realize that he was asking seriously. She answered, still blushing, "No."

Eliot pointed at her face and said, "Then why do you..."

Sydnee couldn't help but asked, "Mr. Eliot, haven't you been in a relationship before? You seem to know little about women. Don't you know that you should not ask a girl such a question face to face?"

Eliot was speechless.

He had always thought that Sydnee was a gentle lady, but he didn't know that she could be so glib.

Sydnee quickly got into the car since Eliot didn't say anything.
