Chapter 520: Chapter 241: Universal in Hand

“Avril, how long do you plan to stand there with that plate?” It wasn’t until her mother’s reminding voice rang out that the daydreaming Avril snapped back to reality, then with a flushed face, she hurriedly put the dishes she was holding into the dishwasher.

“Sorry, Mom, I was just… I was just a bit…” She wanted to explain, but her mother wasn’t blaming her.

“I know you’re excited, dear, and it’s okay,” Judi said to her daughter with a smile, “I just wanted to say that if you really have something on your mind, you should go to the living room and talk to Dad and that Mr. Adrian, instead of using helping out as an excuse to hide here in the kitchen. The gentleman is probably going to leave in a few minutes.”

Hearing her mother’s words, Avril’s cheeks turned red again and she began to hesitate. Just then, her father came in: “Avril, Mr. Adrian is about to leave.”

“So soon?” the girl exclaimed in surprise, immediately dropping what she was holding and, with a hasty wipe of her hands, ran outside.

In the living room, Adrian, who had already gotten up, was saying something to Matthew. Upon seeing Avril come out, he gave her a smile, but she stopped in her tracks, not knowing what to say.

“Well, then I’ll be leaving. I’ve booked a room at the hotel, and it wouldn’t be economical to cancel now,” he said. “Tomorrow I’ll be heading back; the vacation is almost over, and you’ll have plenty of time to think it over. I hope to hear some good news the next time I come.”

“I will,” John, standing behind his daughter, nodded, “I’ll see you out.”

“Let me take Mr. Adrian out,” said Avril, who had been standing there not knowing what to do, suddenly speaking up. Although she shrank a bit when all eyes turned to her, she quickly squared her shoulders.

“Okay, then you can take him,” John said with a laugh and then made a beckoning gesture.
