Her Second Marriage, Being Mr. Moore's New Wife

Chapter 627 Not a Girlfriend Yet

It was time to get off work.

Alice packed up things, and was ready to go downstairs to the canteen, but see a man standing at the

door with a smile.

"Off work now?”

Seeing Manfred, Alice just thought of her appointment with him.

She looked at him awkwardly, perhaps because she had forgotten the dinner invitation in her wildest

thoughts.

"Yes." Alice nodded.

Naturally, Manfred turned and walked out. After a few steps, Alice did not follow, so he looked back at

her, "Still not going?"

"Ok" Alice had to hurry up.

Two people got into the elevator, Alice kept distance with Manfred, even when they were downstairs.

Manfred did not say anything, but opened the door for her. Alice hesitated for a moment and said, "Do

you want to go very far? There's a restaurant around here, or shall we eat there?"

Hearing that, Manfred smiled and said softly, "Although lunch is not as important as breakfast, you

should not have such a casual attitude. You have lost so much weight in the past five years.You must

have not eaten well.”

Alice, "..."

"Come on, I have a reservation. It would be a pity not to go."

Obviously it was pressure, she had no reason not to get in the car.

When she got on the car, Manfred even bent down to fasten her seat belt. Alice's face changed slightly

and she hurriedly said, "I'll do it myself."

Manfred did not force her, but smiled slightly, "Ok."

Then he went around to the other side and got into the driver's seat.

Sitting in the car, Alice felt her mood complicated. From time to time, Manfred talked to her.

Alice looked at the time and asked, "Is it far away?"

Manfred did not answer, but turned a corner and said, "Here we are."

Alice was stunned.

"I'll take the car to the parking lot, where the air quality is not very good. You get out of the car and wait

for me inside."

"Ok." Alice agreed, and then first got off and walked into the restaurant, waiting for him. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

About three minutes later, Manfred came back, carrying his car keys in his hand. "Go in."

Manfred seemed to be a regular customer here, as he walked in, the waiter came to guide him forward

immediately. Two people walked behind the waiter, Alice subconsciously wanted to keep a distance

with Manfred, and he had slowed down in parallel with her, which made Alice awkward.

After entering the box, Manfred said with a slight smile, "All these years abroad, you must have eaten

Western food? Will you get used to that I treat you to have Chinese food suddenly?"

Hearing that, Alice shook her head, "No, in fact, I eat Chinese food more."

"I know." Manfred could not help but laugh, "You prefer Chinese food and have no desire for western

food."

Alice lifted eyes to see him and said nothing.

The waiter said with a smile, "It is my first time to see you take your girlfriend here."

Manfred smiled and did not deny.

But Alice wrinkled her eyebrow, looked at hat the waiter, displeased, "sorry, I am not his girlfriend."

The waiter froze and looked at Manfred, embarrassed.

Manfred was not angry. He looked at Alice and explained softly, "Not girlfriend yet."

He cleverly resolved the embarrassment between the waiter and Alice.

"I'm sorry, but what would you like to eat?"

Alice sat down and thought about Manfred’s words.

Manfred said yesterday he wanted fair competition, was he serious?

Was he really going after her? Why would he came to her company and invited her to have dinner?

Alice casually ordered some food and then handed over the menu to Manfred.

He ordered several dishes and explained a number of things to the waiter as he closed the menu.

"Yes, please wait a moment, Mr. Manfred"

When the others went out, Manfred stood up and poured tea for Alice, saying, "I used to come to this

restaurant often, but it is my first time to bring a girl here, so the waiter misunderstood."

Was that an explanation to her?

Alice shook her head. "It doesn't matter. I've already explained it."

Manfred looked at her and fell silent for a moment. "Actually, you don't have to be in a hurry to deny

and explain," he said.

"What do you mean?" Alice looked at him, puzzled.

"Because I'm officially courting you. You are not my girlfriend yet, but one day you will be."

Alice, "..."

Why the imposing manner of Kennedy was seen on Manfred? His eyes looked gentle, but his words

were overconfident.

Thinking of that, Alice smiled, "Really? Are you so confident I'll be with you?"

"It's not that I'm confident, but I'm genuinely pursuing you, and I want to protect you, Alice."

Alice, "..."

He thought he was conceited, but hearing that, Alice was immediately speechless.

She lowered her eyes, looked at the cutlery in front of her, and did not answer.

"If you stay with me, I will not let you come to any harm, whether you, or Jack, I will treat you with all

my heart."

Alice raised her head and fixed her eyes on her.

"You know Jack is Kennedy's child, why do you..."

"I don't mind." Manfred moved his wrist and poured himself a bowl of tea. He took a graceful sip.

"I didn't mind it five years ago. Do you think I'll mind now? I only care about you."

Alice interrupted, "What I care about now is not me, but my child."

"Are you afraid I'll be unkind to him?" he asked tentatively.

Alice did not answer, but she always felt that everyone wanted his own kid and did not want to raise kid

for others. Besides, Manfred and Kennedy held enmity.

Thinking of that, Alice shook her head.

"That's not what I mean, I mean..."

"Well, let's not talk about it at dinner. You'll see what I do to you. Sincerity needs time to verify, I have a

long time to prove it."
