Let's Get Married

Chapter 746: You Have a Girlfriend but You Are Unmarried

Bridget has lived an ordinary and honest life. She has never seen such a scene before. She is dumbfounded. But it isn't good to keep the driver waiting for too long. She gets in the car first.

The interior of the car is as gorgeous as the exterior. There are two bottles of water placed on the console in the back seat of the car. It is specially arranged, which is thoughtful.

Jasmine is also surprised. She knows that this is the cheapest car of Pehry. But it is still very luxury for ordinary people.

Along the way, Bridget is very worried. She feels uneasy sitting in the car. Jasmine does not dare to say more, being afraid that she will slip up.

The driver is a new face that she has never seen before, which is to avoid leaking the mouth.

The car drives to the restaurant. Bridget and Jasmine have very little communication along the way. Jasmine heaves a sigh of relief when the car finally arrives at the entrance of the restaurant.

She looks up at the three-story building outside the window. It is one of the chain restaurants that cook Cantonese cuisine in J City. Its price is reasonable. It is popular in the city. It needs to reserve a table in advance.

However, such a small restaurant is far away from Pehry. Jasmine is a little surprised. After getting out of the car, Jasmine leads Bridget into the restaurant. Seeing her mother relax gradually, she understands Pehry's intentions.

She told Pehry that Bridget wanted to thank him and treat him to dinner. Pehry chose the ordinary restaurant because of her.

Thinking of this, Jasmine's heart couldn't help but soften. Although Pehry is unruly, he is truly careful and considerate.

The waitress leads them to a private room on the second floor. "This is it, ma'am."

Jasmine becomes nervous. Thinking about the scene that they will eat together, she is a little worried. However, since they have arrived, they must eat the meal.

She raises her hand and pushes open the door. The private room is the largest in size. It is divided into a dining area and a small private room. Pehry is sitting at a small wooden table next to the round table and drinking tea.

When he hears the sound, he immediately looks over. He stands up to greet them with exaggerated movements, "Hello, auntie. I'm Pehry."

Pehry tries his best to remain calm, but he is nervous as there is a slight tremor in his voice. Unfamiliar people may not be able to hear it, but Jasmine notices it.

She realizes that not only she is nervous, but also Pehry is very nervous. And probably he is ... more nervous than her.

This is the first time Jasmine has seen his expression like this. She suddenly feels not so nervous.

Bridget is surprised by his enthusiasm and reaches out to shake hands with him. "Hello, Mr. Pehry. Jasmine mentioned you. Thanks to your help, our family is very grateful."

Pehry hurriedly waves his hand, "You're welcome, aunt. It is easy...."

Bridget thought that Pehry would be a person with extraordinary prestige. After all, his status is so high and he is Jasmine's boss. It is difficult for him to have time to eat with them.

But now she sees Pehry's panic-stricken expression, she feels a little confused.

Why does he feel so restrained?

Or is it that such a successful person is more modest?

However, judging by his face, he is very young. If one doesn't mention his age, one couldn't be able to tell that he is thirty-four years old. People may believe that he is just twenty-six or twenty-seven.

Pehry deliberately wears a casual suit today. He doesn't want to look old. He pulls up a chair and says, "Auntie, please sit down."

Bridget glances at the seat, which is the main seat. She quickly moves aside and says, "Mr. Pehry, this seat must be taken by you. I can't...."

"Why not?" Pehry also insists her to sit this seat. In his eyes, Bridget was his girlfriend's mother, so he absolutely can't neglect her. "You are an elder, and sitting here is the most suitable."

Jasmine sees that they are so polite. The atmosphere is about to freeze. She hurriedly says, "Mom, since Mr. Pehry asks you to sit down, you sit down. Otherwise, he will feel unease."

Bridget still hesitates after hearing this, but she knows that it is not good to insist. She sits down on the main seat with a little unease.

Jasmine sits down beside her, while Pehry sits opposite.

They look at each other with embarrassment. In the end, the waitress brings the menu.

"Auntie, what would you like to eat? I ask them to arrange some signature dishes. Please add some more."

The main purpose of Bridget is not to have meal. "It's OK that you order it. I have no special diet requests."

After handing the menu back to the waitress, Jasmine and Pehry exchange glances. It is as if they are boiled by the hot water. Soon, they both look away and feel guilty.

Not long after, all kinds of delicate dishes come to the table. It can be seen that Pehry has also put a lot of effort on the dishes.

Bridget looks at the man sitting opposite her. His every move is unintentional and natural. This is the first time she has faced such a big boss. She clearly feels the difference between people and the difference between classes.

Indeed, it can't be compared. One can tell that they are not the same from a glance.

Bridget restrains her mind and raises the teacup, "Mr. Pehry, my husband is in the hospital now. I have to accompany him in the afternoon. I can't drink wine. I'll use tea instead of wine. Here's to you. Thank you for helping our family and Jasmine get through this difficulty."

Pehry quickly stands up and toasts Bridget. When he toasts, he deliberately puts the cup lower and says, "Auntie, you're welcome. It's...."

The last words "my job" are almost blurted out. Receiving Jasmine's warning gaze, he changes and says, "Something within my ability."

"You are so kind. You are Jasmine's boss. She is an intern. We should all be grateful to the company for taking care of her like this."

The more Pehry listens, the guiltier he feels, as he is praised by Bridget like this after cajoling her daughter. This is a big lie. What if one day it is disclosed...? Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Pehry doesn't dare to imagine that scene, so he could only be more 'modest', "Auntie, it is very kind of you to say so. Jasmine is also very good."

When Bridget hears this, her expression changes slightly, but she doesn't say anything. She just presses down on the cup and drinks all the tea.

After showing their gratitude, they begin to eat. The atmosphere is not as awkward as the beginning.

During the dinner, Bridget suddenly asks, "Mr. Pehry is young, promising and kind. You should have a happy family."

Pehry replies directly without thinking too much, "Auntie, I'm not married yet."

"Not yet?" Bridget pauses. "You must have a girlfriend but you're not married."
