Chapter 1512: Chapter 1512: The Plan Is Disrupted
Nathan Mills came out holding two bowls of dumplings, his face full of a cheerful smile, "Carlotta, come over here. You’ve worked hard all afternoon, you should try these dumplings while they’re hot. I’ll take care of our guests."
He put down the bowls of dumplings and quickly handed a pair of chopsticks to Carlotta, still looking at her with a smile.
At this moment, Carlotta was sitting upright on the sofa, raising her eyes to meet his smiling gaze, "..." She really didn’t know what to say.
Nathan Mills just stood there half-bent, looking at her without saying another word, holding out the chopsticks, hoping she would take them.
Carlotta didn’t want to embarrass him. Even though his behavior tonight was a bit childish, he was, after all, Janelle’s father and the chairman of the renowned Mills Group.
So, she took the chopsticks and got up to move to the dining table.
Nathan Mills quickly pulled out a chair for her, "Come, Carlotta, sit!" He said in a very familiar manner.
Although Carlotta felt quite awkward, she still sat down.
"Dad." Janelle Mills brought a bowl of dumplings to him, smiling as she said, "You should eat while it’s hot too."
"Alright, alright." The middle-aged man happily took the chopsticks and didn’t forget to glance at Harlan Quinn before sitting next to Carlotta.
He only tasted one dumpling before praising, "Carlotta, these dumplings taste just as good as the noodles you made last time! Truly delicious!"
How awkward!
Everyone looked up at him.
Nathan Mills, however, was very excited and intentionally glanced at Harlan Quinn again, continuing to boast, "Carlotta, the noodles you cooked for me last time were absolutely delicious!"
Carlotta looked up at him, "Can’t the dumplings keep your mouth shut?" she thought, wondering if he would ever stop.
Janelle’s chest tightened slightly, feeling as if a flock of crows flew past her forehead...
"Eat the dumplings while they’re hot, less talking." Carlotta added, her tone still pleasant, which somewhat relieved the awkwardness.
"Right, right, you’re absolutely right." Nathan Mills wasn’t offended, rather he was pleased, acting as if he would listen to whatever Carlotta said.
The smile on his face gave everyone the mistaken impression that these two were like an old married couple.
Especially Harlan Quinn, who felt this way even more.
Janelle and Trevor exchanged a glance, both finding it incredible, this relationship... subtle?
While eating dumplings, Harlan Quinn suddenly realized something...
Although Carlotta and this man were divorced, there was still a child connecting them, and the possibility of remarrying wasn’t small.
It seemed like they were handling this relationship quite well.
Thus, after finishing his dumplings, Harlan Quinn took the kids and said goodbye to them, preparing to return to the orphanage.
Carlotta quickly grabbed the coat from the hanger for him, "Harlan, your jacket!"
The middle-aged man stopped at the living room door and turned to look at her, his gaze deep and gentle. After a while, he reached out to take it.
But he didn’t say anything further, turning to leave.
Janelle Mills went out to the yard, saying goodbye to the children as she sent them to the car, "Thank you for witnessing an important moment in my life. Be good and listen to the director when you go back! I’ll visit you when I have time!"
"Sister Janelle, we’ll definitely come to your wedding with Brother Trevor in the future!" Sabina’s voice was sweet.
Not far away, Trevor also heard this sentence and his eyes softened greatly.
Janelle blushed, "Get in the car, be good."
One by one the children got into the car, and she said farewell to Harlan Quinn, "Goodbye, Uncle Quinn, take care on the road." Then watched as the car drove away.
At this time, Nathan Mills also came out, "I have some business to handle at the company, so I’ll head out first." As he finished speaking, he opened the driver’s door and quickly sat in the car, his demeanor completely different from earlier.
Janelle didn’t even have time to say a few more words to her father before Old Mills drove away.
Trevor’s initial plan was to take Janelle out for a stroll since it was still early, leaving Uncle Mills and Auntie Sterling alone.
But now... the plan was disrupted.
