Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 680

The tall and thin John was a little surprised by his question. He replied politely, "Mr. Smith, milady's name is Jessica."

Jessica?

Ian broke into a frown. "Is she American?"

John answered, "Yes, she is."

She was American!

Ian's heart thumped wildly again. He then asked, "Does she go by any other name?"

"Yes," John paused and then said, "She also goes by Queenie Schmidt."

Ian lowered his eyes in disappointment when he heard the unfamiliar name. He stared at the two gems in his hand. Suddenly, he pointed at them and asked, "How did she get this?"

John smiled. "Ma'am said that a friend who has already passed away had given it to her. Since it's that friend's granddaughter's birthday today, she shall return it to its original owner."

A friend who had already passed away had given it to her...

That friend must be Yvette.

Ian's disappointment grew even stronger.

He shook his head, feeling like he must have lost his mind.

Although he knew very well that Yvette had already died twenty years ago, the moment he heard a bit of news about her, he could not help but wonder if she was still alive.

He lowered his gaze and put the other gem into the box.

Then, he sighed.

As he had only just recovered, he couldn't stand for too long. Thus, Ian turned, went up the stairs and toward the VIP lounge to rest.

Justin didn't understand why his father-in-law had suddenly become depressed. He followed after him and asked, "Uncle Ian, what's wrong?"

Ian waved him off. "It's nothing. You get back to the party."

Justin held his arm and said, "I'll take you upstairs, and also check in on Nora along the way."

Nora hated crowds the most. Besides, she wasn't the star today, so she had been hiding upstairs the whole time.

Ian nodded.

But after Justin helped Ian upstairs, he found that Nora, who should have been resting in the VIP lounge, was not in there?

Where had she gone?

It was extraordinarily lively downstairs.

Cherry and Princess Lucy hadn't met for a very long time, so they had a lot to talk to each other about. The way they couldn't stop talking to each other was as though the two of them had become conjoined twins.

As for Pete, he was surrounded by the children of the Hunts. He was the future heir to the clan. Moreover, he had grown up with them and also gone to school with them. Thus, even though he was introverted, the group of children still played with him.

Pete didn't want to talk to them, so he turned and joined the children from the kindergarten instead.

The Hunts were celebrating the children's birthday today, so most of the guests had also brought children of similar age with them.

The children, led by Mia, didn't dare to disturb Cherry and Princess Lucy, so they could only circle around Pete instead.

"Wow! You really look just like Cherry!"

Someone stretched out their little hand to pinch Pete's cheek.

Mia smiled shyly and gave Pete a birthday present. "I drew this for you, Pete. Have a look and see if it looks good?"

When Pete opened it, he found that it was a drawing of three children.

Two of the children looked the same. One of them was wearing a white organza dress—it was Cherry.

The other was wearing a small suit—it was Pete.

The timid little girl in the middle was none other than Mia.

Mia looked at him and said timidly, "Pete, shall the three of us stay together forever?"

When Pete and Cherry were staying with the Smiths, they hadn't played with Brandon but only with Mia instead. The three of them got along very well.

Pete nodded. "Sure!"

"Cherry!"

Brandon, who had been in a state of shock and silence ever since he saw Pete, suddenly yelled, "So you guys are two different people! It's not because you can cut off your little willy, turn into a little girl, and then have it grow back!"

Everyone:"??"
