Chapter 499
Chapter 499
Looking at me, Lisa seemed to understand what I meant. She stuck out her tongue and said, "I see. My belly isn't so large as to prevent me from seeing what under my feet is."
In fact, Lisa's stomach didn't bulge at all.
Besides, the clothes she wore were loose. If she didn't say anything, others certainly wouldn't know that she was pregnant.
There were three elevators in the underground garage.
At this time, one of the elevator doors opened. And a waitress in a cheongsam stood inside. Upon seeing us, she bowed respectfully and said, "Dear guests, this way please."
We went in.
We went to one floor upstairs only by the elevator.
From the underground parking lot, we arrived at the first floor.
After getting out of the elevator, we went straight to a private room.
It was a big private room.
There should be a large rectangular table in the past. But now, there was only a small round table.
As we sat at the table, there was sufficient and yet proper space between us.
At first, the four chairs were separated in different places.
I walked over and moved my chair to Patrick's side first.
Seeing this, Roger quickly moved his chair to the side of Lisa's chair.
Then he helped Lisa sit down.
Throughout the dinner, knowing each other well, we talked about how Patrick and I had been prepared for the wedding. Roger asked me a lot of questions, such as how to take care of the babies, what kind of things they needed to purchase, and so on.
I told them everything I knew.
Lisa nodded her head to show that she had memorized what I had said. On the contrary, Roger took out a small notebook and started writing my words down seriously.
Seeing that Roger was so concerned, I said, "It seems that Mr. Roger will be a qualified daddy in the future."
"No doubt about it!" Roger looked proud.
It seemed that he didn't think there was anything wrong with this nickname.
We talked and enjoyed the dinner to our hearts' content.
Roger paid the bill.
At the end of the dinner, a fruit tray was served to each of us by a waiter, indicating that the dinner was over. Patrick looked up at Roger and said, "The reason why you are treating me today is to consult about how to take care of your baby in the future, right?"
At this time, Lisa and I were chatting with each other while sitting close to each other. Hearing Patrick's words, we turned to look at Roger in unison.
Looking a little embarrassed, Roger said with a smile, "Of course... Brother, I want to trouble you with one matter."
"You want a car from me."
Before Roger could open his mouth, Patrick spoke first.
Hearing this, Roger worshipped Patrick so much, "Yes. Brother, you really know me!"
Patrick asked first, "Which one do you want?"
Roger felt a little embarrassed and said, "Brother, those precious cars of yours are all limited-edition products globally. Lend either one of them to me. The one I will place at the forefront of the car parade has to be a luxurious one, glorifying me!"
That was true. Speaking of Patrick's car. I felt that I had seen a lot of them back and forth.
There was a special parking lot where Patrick would specifically park his cars on the minus second floor of the underground garage.
Several cars had been parked on the minus second floor of the underground garage alone.
Looking at Roger, Patrick understood what he meant. He curled up the corner of his lips slightly, took out something from his pocket, and put it on the pivoting plate of the table.
At a glance, I recognized that it was what Patrick had taken out from a drawer when he was about to leave home.
Taking a look at it, I found that it was a square car key.
Roger didn't know what kind of car it was. Even so, he was obviously looking forward to it. Before the pivoting table could be in front of him, he stood up and got the key directly.
When he was watching at the car key, Patrick said, "You got married in a hurry. I didn't prepare any gifts for you. This car is a gift for you."
"This..." Taking the key in his hands and looking at it carefully, Roger was confused, asking, "Brother, which car is this? I have a Rolls- Royce in my home. Why haven't I seen this kind of car key before?" "You are rustic."
Lisa complained aside.
Roger smiled happily, "Yes, you're right. My knowledge is nothing compared to that of my brother's." Then he looked at Patrick, "Brother, what type of Rolls-Royce is this..."
At this point, Roger seemed to have thought of something. Opening his eyes and his mouth wide, he looked surprised.
Looking at Patrick, he stammered, "Could... could... could it be that type?"
Patrick nodded.
I looked at both of them. Neither of them said which car it was. But they both understood.
Initially, I, who wasn't interested in cars, didn't care about which type the car was. However, seeing Patrick and Roger like this, Lisa couldn't help asking, "Are you two trying to play dumb guessings?"
"Rolls- Royce Cullinan!" Looking touched, Roger looked at Lisa and then at Patrick.
It seemed that Roger couldn't express his excitement by sitting where he was. He stood up, walked to Patrick's side, and hugged him with great enthusiasm, "Brother, you are indeed my biological brother. A long time ago, I paid the down payment for this kind of car in advance. Even so, it turned out that I wasn't even qualified to get one! All the slots were taken by the ones with connections!"
"Yes, I am one of them."
Patrick said flatly.
Hugging Patrick, Roger, who was greatly moved, said, "You are relying on your strength rather than your connections."
With a puzzled look on my face, I thought to myself, "What kind of car could make Roger so excited?"
Knowing that I couldn't get anything useful by asking them, I took out my cell phone and searched online by myself. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
The first one listed on the search pages was a definition of diamonds. And I clicked it open.
And it read, "Cullinan, the name of the largest diamond in the world."
I scrolled down and saw that this type of car was a new SUV produced by Rolls- Royce this year whose price was almost seven million dollars.
Moreover, there were only one thousand cars like this all over the world. Basically, even the rich couldn't purchase one with ease.
Lisa approached me, read the page, and took a deep breath. Whispering to me, she said, "Charlotte, what's your husband's background? 7 million dollars. He gave it to Roger as he wished."
I shook my head.
I didn't know how rich Patrick was now.
With the listing of the Al project, Towering High surely wasn't what it used to be. As for how powerful it was, I had no idea.
But it didn't matter.
As long as he was by my side, that would be good.
Patrick was done with gifting Roger with a car. And the meal was over. After that, we should have gone back to our own homes.
However, Roger clamored to get the car.
According to him, he couldn't sleep well without seeing the dreamy car today.
Whatever Roger said, Patrick wouldn't agree.
No matter how much Roger pestered him, Patrick said, "I'll ask the driver to pick you up and get it tomorrow."
In the end, Roger couldn't persuade Patrick. So he had to agree.
After the dinner was over, Patrick and I went home. After we got home, I helped Patrick get his pajamas in the bedroom and asked in confusion, "Why didn't you let Roger get his car today? He probably can't sleep well tonight."
Judging from the reluctant and painful expression on Roger's face when he left, I knew that he indeed couldn't sleep well tonight.
Sitting on the bed, Patrick didn't answer my question. Instead, he reached out to take me to his side and let me sit on him. Gently pinching my chin with his fingers, he asked seriously, "Answer me first, what happened during my treatment overseas?"
I was stunned for a moment. Then I realized that he should have told some clues from Lisa's words just now.
He didn't say anything at that time. It turned out that he had been waiting to question me now.
