Chapter 23 Coincidentally Met Up
Wearing a trendy pink shirt, light grey casual pants, and white. leather shoes, holding a Rubik’s Cube in his hand, he was unmistakably a second-generation rich kid.
It was none other than Frank.
Upon hearing her voice, Frank looked over and instantly turned serious.
“Alva, you finally came,” he said.
Alva put down her bag and looked at him. “What’s the matter?”
He looked serious.
Frank threw the Rubik’s Cube aside and walked over in big strides, gripping her slender shoulders. “Who was that man last night?”
“Did he bully you?”
His eyes scanned her like radar.
Alva couldn’t help but laugh. She thought he was waiting here early in the morning for something important, but it turned out to be this matter.
“Do you think he looks like someone who would bully me?”
She removed Frank’s hand from her shoulder and went to make coffee.

Frank followed behind her, particularly serious. “Alva, the way he looked at you was like a wolf looking at a little lamb, he practically wanted to devour you!”
“I’ve never seen you like that.” said Frank.
Alva paused for a moment, turned her head, and spoke seriously, “Frank, he is a friend who is like a family to me. Besides that, there is nothing else.”
“Really?”
Alva smiled casually. “Are you sure you want to waste your time on something meaningless like this?”
“Well, fortunately, you didn’t fall for him. If you did, I would explode.”
After sending Frank off, Alva shook her head and smiled lightly, returning to work.
It was summer, and the autumn collection for Daven needed to be designed as soon as possible.
These two years, the trend of Asian style has become popular. She planned to start with this and add some modern
elements, creating designs that would be more practical to be worn out without appearing too exaggerated or old- fashioned.
Alva quickly got into a busy state and didn’t realise it was already noon time.
“Still busy?”
A familiar voice appeared to her ears, Alva was startled and
Chapter 23 Coincidentally Met Up
looked up.
“Jackson?”
Indeed, it was Jackson.

He stood in front of her desk, dressed in light colours, with fair skin, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. His gaze was gentle, like a gentleman.
“I waited for you downstairs for a long time, but you didn’t come down, so I came up,” he said.
He casually inserted his hand into his pocket, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, a smile as gentle as a spring breeze.
Alva was surprised and checked the time, only then realising it was already noon.
Helplessly, she said, “You could have come up.”
Jackson blinked. “I thought coming up would disturb you, but it’s already noon, and I don’t mind disturbing you.”
Alva couldn’t argue with the things he said.
“Let’s go, I’ve made a reservation at a restaurant,” he said.
“Okay.”
Jackson had made a reservation at a Japanese restaurant. The environment was elegant and comfortable, perfect for busy people.
He handed the menu to Alva. “The salmon here is good, you

should try it.”
“Sure.”

Alva ordered a salmon dish and another dish, handing the menu to Jackson.
Knowing her taste for delicacies, Jackson ordered two more dishes, both of which Alva like.
After the waiter left, Jackson couldn’t take his eyes off Alva.
“Have you been busy lately?” he asked.
Alva poured herself some tea and took a sip. “Yes, it’s summer now, and autumn will be here in just a few months. I need to prepare the new autumn collection.”
“Don’t tire yourself out too much.”
She had gotten even thinner, and it aches his heart.
“I won’t. I love my work.”
She had a gentle smile on her face, with curved eyebrows and eyes, radiating beauty.
She had put on a light makeup, not flashy but natural and comfortable. Her eyes were particularly beautiful, as if they were touched by a misty spring water, endearing to people.
“Even if you love it, you still need to take care of your health. If I didn’t come today, would you have skipped meals again?”
He knew she loved her work but also knew that she often neglected her meals because of it.

Knowing she couldn’t deceive Jackson, Alva said directly, “If I’m hungry, I’ll eat. Isn’t that better?”
Jackson shook his head. “If you keep doing that, I’ll come every day to check if you’re eating.”
They chatted while the food was served.
In the middle of the meal, Jackson’s phone rang.
He took the phone and glanced at it, a hint of helplessness in
his eyes.
“I need to take this call.”
“Go ahead.”
Jackson got up and went outside, “Mom.”
“Didn’t you return yesterday? Why aren’t you at home?”
“I’m outside.”
“Got it. Have fun and come back early. Mom cooked delicious food for you.”
Two years ago, when Jackson came to H City, Flora was worried about him, hence she followed him here.
To avoid making her son feel restricted, they lived separately, but she would occasionally visit him.
This time when Jackson returned, Flora was aware of it, but she didn’t disturb him yesterday when she knew he arrived in the country late, so she came to see him today instead.
She thought her son would be resting at home to adjust to
Chapter 23 Coincidentally Met Up
the time difference, but she didn’t expect him to be out.
“Okay.””
Jackson felt helpless about Flora’s doting, but he never said anything. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
He knew his mother cared about him.
After ending the call, he was about to return to the private room when he heard a familiar voice behind him. “Jackson?”
Jackson turned around, and Bella was standing not far behind him, holding Uriah’s arm.
