“I’m not going!”

Quella Radcliffe shook her head, her complexion suddenly turning pale.

“I’m feeling a bit unwell today, I’m going to go back to sleep!” Having said that, she headed toward her own room.

“Quella Radcliffe, you stop right there!”

Knox Ridge shouted, walking up to Quella Radcliffe, and said bitterly, “Radley Ridge has just come back from abroad, and the first thing he wants to do is invite our family to dinner. Can’t you be a little understanding!” “He invited you, not me! If you want to go, then go, but I’m not going!” It was the first time Quella Radcliffe had been so stubborn.

Her attitude was exceptionally firm, leaving no room for discussion.

“Quella Radcliffe! Have your wings hardened? I’m telling you, today you will go whether you want to or not! Otherwise, get out of this house!”

Knox Ridge pointed toward the door and cursed, “And Julius Reed, both of you get out!”

“Quella, don’t make Mum angry, let’s just go!”

Julius Reed, seeing the situation, didn’t want Quella Radcliffe to have too much of a rift with her mom.

“If you want me to go, Julius comes with me! Otherwise, forget it! If you don’t welcome us, I’ll leave this family right now!”

Quella Radcliffe confronted Knox Ridge with a resolute look in her eyes.

“Let’s go together then!”

Burl Radcliffe nodded, signaling Knox Ridge to compromise.

“Fine! You had better keep your word! Don’t you dare take our car!”

Knox Ridge scoffed, her gaze full of disdain when looking at Julius Reed.

“No one give him money for a taxi, if you’re so capable, walk there!” “Julius and I will walk, we won’t take your car ever again!” Quella Radcliffe looked at Knox Ridge and asked coldly, “The place.” “Azure Wind Restaurant! Call me when you arrive!”

Knox Ridge glared at Julius Reed and left with Burl Radcliffe.

After they left, Julius Reed turned to Quella Radcliffe and asked, “What’s going on? You seem really averse to this.”

As soon as Knox Ridge had finished speaking earlier, Quella Radcliffe had become visibly agitated.

Clearly, she did not like this person known as Radley Ridge.

“Julius, don’t be mad about what I’m about to say.”

Quella Radcliffe bit her lip and spoke with her head lowered, “The Ridge Family

and our family have been longtime friends, and for years our parents have been trying to set us up. Radley Ridge went abroad to study five years ago and I guess he just got back today.”

The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, as if she had done something to betray Julius Reed. “Did you ever like him?”

Julius Reed asked, tilting his head.

Quella Radcliffe quickly raised one hand, “I swear, I absolutely never liked him!”

“Then what do I have to be mad about!”

Julius Reed gently pinched her cheek and smiled, “If someone’s offering a meal, it would be a waste not to go!”

“Jerk! You’re bullying me!”

Quella Radcliffe had never had someone dare to pinch her face before.

“You’re my wife, who else would I bully but you!”

Julius Reed pulled her into his embrace.

At that moment, Quella Radcliffe’s breathing became somewhat rapid.

The two had been together for three years, but this was their first time being so intimate.

“Don’t think you can take advantage of me!”

Five minutes later, Quella Radcliffe wriggled out of Julius Reed’s arms and, with a blush, ran out of the house.

“Julius, aren’t you jealous?”

Quella Radcliffe asked with a flushed face as she sat in the passenger seat. “Radley Ridge inviting my parents out for dinner is definitely up to no good.”

“I’m quite confident about my own wife! But if anyone dares to make a move on you, I’ll make sure he won’t even recognize his own mother after I’m done with him!”

Julius Reed drove the Rolls-Royce, with rock music playing in the car.

This song had a history of forty or fifty years, and back then, it was one of his favorite pieces of music.

The singer had long since passed away from this world, yet he remained exactly as he had been forty or fifty years before, without the slightest change. “Radley Ridge is the typical smiling tiger, you must be careful!”

Quella Radcliffe whispered a warning, “However, my parents like him a lot, and as for this issue, I’m afraid they…”

She didn’t finish her sentence because they both understood it clearly.

Before long, a Rolls-Royce slowly pulled into the parking lot of the Azure Wind Restaurant.

Azure Wind Restaurant was quite famous in River City, a high-class Western restaurant usually frequented by those with status and rich youths on dates.

There happened to be a parking spot next to Burl Radcliffe’s Passat, so Julius Reed parked the Rolls-Royce beside it.

While they were still in the car, Knox Ridge had already sent a WeChat message, so the two of them headed straight to the second floor.

The Azure Wind Restaurant had no private rooms, only standalone crystal dining tables.

Thus, as soon as they reached the second floor, they saw Knox Ridge and the other five people.

“Quella Radcliffe!”

With a shout, a young man wearing glasses stood out from the group of five.

“That’s Radley Ridge, be careful!”

Quella Radcliffe warned in a low voice.

“Expent for von. no one can take advantage of me.”

Julius Reed gave her a gentle smile and strode toward the table.

“Quella Radcliffe, it’s been years, and you’ve gotten even more beautiful!”

After sitting down, Radley Ridge’s eyes remained fixated on Quella Radcliffe.

“Just now, your aunt mentioned you two came by taxi, I was about to pick you up. How can someone as delicate as you take a cab?”

Radley Ridge showed off his Mercedes car keys, intentionally or unintentionally.

Throughout, he didn’t even glance at Julius Reed.

“That’s right! Right after our Radley came back to the country, he couldn’t stop talking about seeing you.”

Mother Ridge looked at Quella Radcliffe as if she were looking at her daughter-in-law.

“You two were childhood sweethearts, it’s just a pity that Radley went abroad for his studies, missing the chance! ”

Father Ridge shook his head with a look of regret.

“No problem, no problem! All that matters is he’s back.”

Knox Ridge said with a smile, “As long as he’s back, that’s good!”

Upon hearing her words, Radley Ridge’s eyes brightened, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile.

“Oh! Quella Radcliffe, you haven’t introduced us yet, this is…”

Radley Ridge adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Julius Reed with a mock smile.

He had been particularly upset after learning that Quella Radcliffe had married.

However, after finding out that their marriage was in name only, Radley Ridge hoped to rekindle the relationship.

“Looking at him like this, he might be Quella Radcliffe’s driver, right? After all, since Quella Radcliffe became the project manager, it stands to reason that she should have a driver.”

Mother Ridge appraised Julius Reed with disdain and snorted lightly.

Clearly, Knox Ridge had just mentioned Quella Radcliffe being promoted to project manager; otherwise, how could Mother Ridge have known?

“He is my husband!”

Quella Radcliffe’s face darkened, and she truly felt like getting up and leaving, respectability be damned.

“Oh! So you are the quite famous husband of Quella Radcliffe! As soon as I returned, I heard all about you!”

Radley Ridge stood up, offering his hand with sheer pretense, “May I ask where you work, brother?”

“At home, living off my wife!”

Julius Reed responded with a smile, stood up, and firmly shook Radley Ridge’s hand with force!

“Ah!”

Radley Ridge cried out in pain, then quickly realized he had lost his composure.

“Sorry! I… I just started feeling a bit of stomach pain, I need to use the restroom.”

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the bathroom.

The atmosphere had become quite awkward.

Although everyone had wanted to mock and ridicule Julius Reed, he had outright admitted to living off his wife, so what more could they say?

“Brother Snake, do me a favor!”

Once in the restroom, Radley Ridge dialed a number with a dark expression..
