Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 722

Addy...

Simon was handsome, and Addy was beautiful. Emily suddenly felt crestfallen seeing them together.

Emily had never met Addy before, but she always knew about her.

When Emily finally met her, Addy was every bit the stunning beauty she had expected to see with a heart-shaped face, almond-bright eyes, and white teeth. With only light makeup, she looked bright and charming like a fairy.

She caught the tone of surprise in Simon's voice that he was trying to disguise in his question, "When did you come back?"

"Today," Addy said, pulling back a lock of hair caught at her temple to the back of her ear and smiled, "I sent to the hospital to look for you and I was told that you had gone to Yany State. I thought of taking a flight there to find you, then I heard you're coming back today. That's when I asked for the address and came over to wait for you!"

Addy walked up to them, the heel of her boots clicking raspily. She nodded politely to Emily and smiled broadly at Simon, "You've just got off the plane, did you? I bet you haven't eaten yet. Let's go to the hotpot restaurant we used to go to last time. We have so much to talk about."

Emily heard all that, especially the last bit, and felt herself being sidelined.

Both Addy and Simon appeared to be so close, like a pair of magnets with different polarities attracting each other and the magnetic field kept everything, or everyone else, away, and Emily felt excluded and suffocated.

Emily gently shook off Simon's stiff hand and said in a muffled voice, "I'm going up first!"

She barely took two steps forward when Simon pulled her back.

"Let's go together!"

Her head spun around in a daze and Simon was gripping her hand more firmly. She frowned at him, hearing him saying, "Didn't you say you got hungry?"

Emily swallowed. Out of the corner of her eye, she spied Addy turning slightly stiff.

The dark Cayenne revved into a quiet little alley and stopped at the entrance of a Their car drove into a remote alley and stopped at the entrance of an old-time hotpot restaurant - an old building converted into two- story. Rows of little red lanterns adorned every level outside the windows, making the atmosphere nearby lively and warm.

There were vacant tables on the ground floor and the waiter arranged one just beside a window.

The tables were all round with a charcoal-heated copper pot in the center. Although it helped that everyone sat more comfortably without staring at each other into the face directly and awkwardly. Yet they sat down like the three sides of a triangle after a fashion, making things looked embarrassing and complicated.

Addy had been visibly emotional during the journey, peering left and right out of the window and when she sat down at the table, she exclaimed, "Wow, nothing's changed here!"

"It's been running pretty well," Simon said with a smile.

"Have you been coming here all these years?" Addy asked, her almond-shaped eyes shining brightly.

Simon's forehead creased deeper as he hesitated, frowned slightly before he finally allowed, "Sometimes."

"I'm sorry, I'm so excited coming back here from abroad that I've forgotten to introduce myself. Hello, I am Addy Swan!" Addy reached out a hand gracefully, not forgetting to regard Simon with those shining eyes of hers, saying to Emily, "You can call me Addy like Simon does!"

Emily reached out her hand and said, "Hi... I am Emily!"

The two of them shook hands very briefly and let go of each other almost immediately.

With a friendly voice, Addy asked, "What do you do, Emily?"
