Chapter 425: Dinner Encounter

Both of them drove here, so after Charles Smith sent her the address of the private dining place, they each went back to their own cars.

Sitting in the car, Amelia Garcia was troubled.

Christopher Hart had said he'd come home for dinner, what should she say when he asked why she wasn't there?

Although this was normal social interaction, because the person she was meeting was the buyer of the courtyard house—he would definitely throw a fit if he knew.

It's really a headache...

Unexpectedly, before she could think of a suitable excuse, Christopher's call came first.

Looking at the caller ID on the screen, she was hesitant and uncertain.

Could he have already reached home and called to ask why she wasn't there?

After hesitating for a long while, she still mustered the courage to answer: "Hello..."

"Amelia, I have a very important dinner tonight, I can't come back to have dinner with you all." Christopher's deep voice carried a hint of apology.
