At this moment, Merry suddenly discovered that her liking for Chris seemed to be more than just an ordinary affection.
What she realized was the kind of love that demanded Chris to be completely hers!
Merry's mood was fluctuating, and Anna looked at her in bewilderment. "Merry, if Chris wants to get married, isn't that good news? Look at his face, he's more than 30, right? If he doesn't get married soon, maybe no one will want to be with someone who is too old like him!"
Anna usually lectured his older brother Glen to hear her say things like this!
After hearing this, Merry subconsciously answered, "Brother Chris is not very old, he is only in his thirties!"
Anna looked surprised. "Is that true?"
Clifford, who was on the opposite side, corrected her in time. "Young Master Chris is 33 this year!"
Merry glanced at Clifford dimly, pouting speechlessly.
Of course she knew that Chris was thirty-three years old, but Anna said that he was an old man, which she thought was a bit of an exaggeration.
Chris Hartanto is definitely handsome and amazing!
After a while, the waiter brought all the dishes to the table.
These foods piqued Anna's huge appetite, she immediately put a large piece of beef rib in her mouth and seemed to be enjoying it.
Clifford also looks very elegant when eating his steak. But Merry looked lethargic even though she had ordered a lot of food. While continuing to chop her steak, she kept her eyes on Chris as the man ate.
She stared at him constantly, why hadn't the man noticed her!
The little girl was eager to say hello, but was afraid that her actions would be disrespectful.
After the food was half finished, Anna took a sip of her juice as she continued to enjoy this sumptuous meal. She turned her head and found that Merry barely moved her cutlery.
She glanced suspiciously at Merry who kept peeking out the window, her eyes twinkling, and she pulled Clifford under the table. "Hey, what's wrong with her?"
Clifford saw Merry's dazed appearance, and shook his head at Anna. "I don't know."
Anna looked at Merry helplessly, raised her hand and grabbed her ponytail, then hit Merry with her elbow. "Hey, what are you looking at? If you want to say hi to him, then go! That's your acquaintance, why are you hesitating!"
Anna's words were very reasonable!
The little girl then put the cutlery in her hand, got up and walked out into the glass room.
Despite the courtesy, she wanted to know something now.
What were Chris and Aunt Anette talking about? She couldn't even see their smiles.
Merry walked through the lobby and was about to walk to the glass door, but was stopped by the maid.
"Sorry Miss, this area has been reserved."
Merry looked sadly at the maid, and stretched out her hand and indicated. "Those three people… one is my aunt and the other is my brother. If you don't believe me, you can ask them whether I may come in or not."
The maid was shocked!
This person talked like someone's granny!
The maid thought for a moment, and was about to go out to ask, but Chris had already seen Merry's figure from his table.
Alex and Anette were also looking around. When they saw the little girl, Anette couldn't help but say in surprise, "Is she… from the Hiroshi family?"
Alex looked at Chris playfully, and laughed in a low voice. "Well, we all treat her like a little sister, her name is Merry."
Anette nodded clearly, then waved at the maid and signaled for Merry to come in.
Upon seeing this, the maid immediately turned to the side and stepped forward respectfully to open the door for the little girl. "Miss, please come in."
In this private dining room, Merry did not walk straight to their table.
The little girl first glanced at Chris, and then said to Anette and Alex, "Aunt Anette, Brother Alex."
Anette looked at Merry with a peaceful look. She reached her hand on the table and pulled her to her side. "I haven't seen you in years, and you've grown so big in the blink of an eye!"
Merry stood by Anette obediently, looking at her quietly and grinning. "Aunt Anette is still as beautiful as ever."
Hearing her voice, Anette smiled, then called the maid to add a seat beside her, and invited the little girl to sit down. "Are you eating here too?"
Merry nodded, and glanced at Chris. Then she replied, "I came here with a friend, and when I see you, I want to come over and say hello."
Anette was barely forty, but she was very well cared for and still looked young. But when you look closely, there are traces of fine lines when she smiles.
As the woman who was now in charge of most of the companies in the Vander family, she was definitely not a simple person.
Since Merry came and looked Chris in the eye so many times, this action had caught the man's eye long ago.
Anette and Alex looked at each other for a moment, and the smile on her mouth became even more meaningful.
At this moment, Merry was sitting at the table, bowing her head and playing with her fingers.
She didn't know if it was because of her sudden appearance that these two seniors didn't speak anymore.
The atmosphere was so calm that the little girl felt very uncomfortable.
At this time, Alex carefully took a pair of fork and knife for Merry, and gave her a piece of steak. "Merry, try to taste this, your aunt specially brought this meat from abroad."
Merry's small hand grabbed the edge of the table, she then waved her hand knowingly. "Brother, don't bother. My friend is still waiting for me and I just came to say hello, so I'll come back now."
After that, she stood up, said goodbye, and ran back to the lobby of the restaurant in front of several people.
Very disappointed!
Brother Chris didn't talk to her!
Merry returned to Anna's side with a sad expression. Her entire heart was filled with an unspeakable depression.
On the other hand, Anette turned to Chris who was on the opposite side after seeing Merry return to the lobby. Seeing that there's something odd about the man's gaze, she couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. "Looks like the little girl can't hold back her feelings anymore, so why don't you reciprocate at all? Don't you realize she's been glancing at you so many times before?"
Chris' gaze shifted to Anette's face, and he raised his eyebrows calmly. "The time hasn't come yet, don't worry!"
"Be careful, if you let the love between you too loose, your wife might run away with someone else!" Anette was joking, and couldn't see Chris's unpleasant expression at all.
Seeing this, Alex took a sip from his glass. "Sister, your worries are completely unnecessary. In my opinion, Merry could no longer live without him. Instead of worrying about them, you should think about your own marriage!"
After being reminded by Alex, Anette's smile narrowed slightly.
She stretched out her finger and rubbed her glass, her expression showed the seriousness and determination of a grown woman. "Why worry about this kind of thing? Aunt Jenny has contacted our parents personally, you think I can get away from such a person?"
