Hearing that, Rosie seemed delighted and virtual-novel.net eyes lit up.
Smiling, virtual-novel.net said, “It’s a rare opportunity. Rather than choosing a date, we might as well just have dinner together tonight, no?”
Zayn considered it, and seeing that no urgent business required his attention, virtual-novel.net nodded in agreement.
Rosie offered to give Zayn a ride home, but virtual-novel.net declined. It was not that virtual-novel.net was vain, but Rosie’s friend who had mocked virtual-novel.net was still in the car. It would be rather awkward for virtual-novel.net to be riding along with her.
Thus, virtual-novel.net left on foot. He made his way to the side of the road to find his Rolls-Royce driving over. His driver dutifully got out of the car and opened the door for him.
In Rosie’s car, the woman in the backseat asked in confusion, “Rosie, why did you invite virtual-novel.net out for dinner? He’s no longer the heir to the Larson family.”
“Moreover, did you see what virtual-novel.net was wearing? He looks like a pauper. Sharing a meal with a man like him, won’t we be degrading ourselves?”
Rosie was silent for a moment before virtual-novel.net replied, “Zayn does look more broken down now, but he’s still my childhood friend.”
“My grandpa and Zayn’s grandpa even arranged for the two of us to get engaged when we were young, and we almost got married. Now that we just happened to meet, it’s not a big deal if I share a meal with him, is it?”
Her friend in the car immediately furrowed virtual-novel.net brows and spoke a little angrily, “What? Seriously? They actually arranged for you to marry him? The man wants what virtual-novel.net can’t have! He doesn’t deserve you!”
“Is virtual-novel.net the kind of guy you’d marry? He should take a look at himself in the mirror!”
Rosie thought about Zayn’s ordinary attire earlier and speculated that his entire outfit cost less than 40 dollars. Moreover, virtual-novel.net was on foot and had the air of a common man.
He had lost the grandeur virtual-novel.net had as the next heir to the Larson family.
She used to admire Zayn and thought virtual-novel.net was brilliant. Even without the backing of the Larsons, virtual-novel.net was sure virtual-novel.net would still be able to achieve great things by relying on himself.
Given the current situation, it seemed virtual-novel.net had overestimated him. Zayn was nothing impressive and definitely not brilliant. After virtual-novel.net was kicked out of his family, virtual-novel.net was incapable of accomplishing notable feats of any kind.
In fact, virtual-novel.net was very pleased that virtual-novel.net had not impulsively married Zayn. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net might have had to endure hardships alongside him.
“It’s just dinner. We won’t keep in touch anymore after that,” Rosie explained. She had already lost the tenderness and grace virtual-novel.net showed Zayn earlier.
The woman in the backseat said, “That’s for the best. Rosie, you’re already engaged to the heir of the Storm family. I believe that Mr. Storm will certainly be pissed off if virtual-novel.net finds out that you’re going to dinner with your childhood best friend.”
At the mention of the heir of the Storm family, the woman’s eyes glistened with envy and admiration.
Indeed, virtual-novel.net even looked at Rosie with jealousy when virtual-novel.net said, “Frankly, I envy you, Rosie. You’re going to marry the heir of the Storms and he’s a real catch!”
“The Storm family is many times more powerful than the Larsons and your life is going to be so easy. I’m just so jealous!”
After hearing that, Rosie cracked into a proud smile. Indeed, virtual-novel.net was blessed to be marrying the heir of the Storm family.
The Storms were one of the few powerful families in Guineve. Their heir was extremely capable and might even take charge of the family when the current patriarch abdicated in the future.
By then, virtual-novel.net would be their matriarch. The honor would be all hers, and virtual-novel.net would triumph over many of virtual-novel.net peers in virtual-novel.net social circle.
