Chapter 219: I’m Happy to Serve Her
Watching Cole Hawke leave, Damon Hawke squinted his eyes.
Is he so sure that Elara Don won’t be his aunt?
Cole Hawke is destined to lose!
"Tom."
A woman’s voice came from behind.
Damon Hawke turned around and saw Vinny Hawke coming over with Mrs. Grant and Samantha Miles.
Mrs. Grant is here too?
Damon Hawke was slightly surprised, stepped forward to greet them.
"Aunt, Samantha."
"Tom, long time no see."
Mrs. Grant greeted Damon Hawke with a smile.
Samantha Miles also smiled at Damon Hawke, her eyes full of admiration.
"Tom, your aunt just returned to the country to see you, let’s have a meal together later."
Vinny Hawke’s face didn’t look good, and her tone was stiff.
Damon Hawke knew she was probably still angry about Elara Don, and sighed slightly in his heart.
"Okay, I’ll have Rhun Quinn reserve a table."
When will my sister let go of her prejudice against Elara Don?
And stop controlling him?
"Tom, I heard from your sister that there’s been a lot going on lately. You not only have a woman you love, but also gained a son? Aunt is really curious, what does the girl who bore you two children look like. Why not invite her over so everyone can meet her?"
Mrs. Grant smiled gently, maintaining her elegant and noble demeanor.
With a slight movement in his eyes, Damon Hawke thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Sure."
He originally wanted Elara Don to officially become his girlfriend.
This also meant introducing her to his social circles.
Damon Hawke had Rhun Quinn reserve a table and asked him to inform Elara Don to attend the luncheon with him.
Elara Don was a bit puzzled when she received Rhun Quinn’s call.
"Assistant Quinn, I’m not his secretary. Why does he want me to attend some luncheon with him?"
"Miss Charlotte Soo, it’s the boss’s order. You’ll understand when you get there."
Rhun Quinn couldn’t say much, replying formally.
Feeling confused but obliged due to the boss’s status, Elara Don had to go to the restaurant.
Arriving at the hotel suite door that Rhun Quinn told her, she knocked on the door and pushed it open.
The first sight was Vinny Hawke and the others.
Elara Don’s smile froze slightly, feeling speechless.
What’s Damon Hawke up to?
He’s having a meal with Samantha Miles, what does inviting her mean?
"Elly, come sit."
Damon Hawke smiled at her, gesturing her over.
Elara Don pressed her lips and walked over.
Although she really wanted to leave, etiquette had to be observed.
Moreover, Samantha Miles was present.
How would leaving abruptly look?
"Mr. Hawke, Miss Hawthorne."
Elara Don greeted the two, then nodded slightly to Samantha Miles and Mrs. Grant.
Mrs. Grant was a renowned actress for over twenty years; Elara Don had seen her photos in the news.
In her youth, Mrs. Grant had a charming appearance, and even now with age, she still didn’t show it.
Still so elegant, making one marvel at the wonder of creation, how a woman could maintain herself so well.
However, although Mrs. Grant wore a smile, it didn’t reach her eyes.
Especially when looking at her, there was a hint of scrutiny.
She doesn’t like her.
Elara Don lowered her eyes a bit as Damon Hawke pulled her to sit beside him.
Really curious why these people gathering for a meal called for her?
"Elly, let me introduce you, this is Samantha’s mother, Mrs. Grant. Aunt, this is Elara Don, Charlie’s biological mother, and my girlfriend."
Damon Hawke spoke, providing introductions for everyone.
Elara Don frowned, casting Damon Hawke a glance.
When did she agree to be his girlfriend?
Damon Hawke smiled, reaching to hold Elara Don’s hand.
Elara Don glared at him, trying to withdraw her hand, but he held on tightly.
The small interactions between the two didn’t escape Samantha Miles’ notice.
Her face twisted with discomfort.
Beside her, Mrs. Grant quietly patted her hand under the table, offering silent comfort.
Samantha Miles glanced at Mrs. Grant and slowly calmed down.
Mrs. Grant looked at Elara Don, curling her lips into a smile.
"Miss Thorne, I hear you’re the Don Family’s adopted daughter? Didn’t expect you and Tom would have such a bond?"
Upon hearing this, Elara Don turned to her, smiling slightly, but remained silent.
"Miss Thorne’s background is quite pitiful too, mother deceased, biological father unknown, hearing this really made me feel sorry."
Mrs. Grant glanced at Elara Don, placing a dish with chopsticks in her plate, "Here, eat while it’s hot, the hotel dishes here are quite tasty, Miss Thorne must be frugal while caring for your son, eat more to supplement."
The words sounded ordinary, but in Elara Don’s ears, they felt inexplicably piercing.
Especially the way Mrs. Grant looked at her, a mix of pity and a hint of mockery.
Isn’t this indirectly saying she’s an unknown father’s illegitimate child and quite shabby?
Elara Don pressed her lips, fingers slightly curled.
"Tom, have some soup."
Samantha Miles served Damon Hawke a bowl of soup.
Before Damon Hawke could speak, Vinny Hawke said: "Oh, look at Samantha, she’s really virtuous, so considerate of our little Tom. If our little Tom can marry such a good girl like Samantha in the future, I’d be satisfied."
While speaking, Vinny Hawke also glanced at Elara Don.
Clearly, she was saying this for Elara Don to hear.
The implication was she wasn’t worthy of Damon Hawke.
"Sis Hawthorne, don’t praise me, I might get shy."
"Samantha, I’m just stating facts. You have good family background, are beautiful, successful in your career, whoever marries you is truly blessed."
"Sis Hawthorne, am I really that good?"
"Of course! Only a blind man would give you up."
"..."
Listening to their conversation, Elara Don just found it amusing.
So today Damon Hawke invited her for a meal just to let her hear their backhanded disparagements?
"Elly, here’s mushroom chicken soup, tastes good, give it a try?"
Damon Hawke disregarded the duo’s performance, and served Elara Don a bowl of soup himself.
Elara Don was stunned, looking at him.
Samantha Miles serves him soup yet he serves her, not fearing that Vinny would die of heartache.
"Some people really have thick skin. Don’t they have hands? They need others to serve them? Such a large face."
Vinny Hawke was infuriated seeing Damon Hawke serve Elara Don.
"I like serving her."
Damon Hawke then placed some food into Elara Don’s bowl.
"Elly is my girlfriend, also my future wife, a wife should be pampered."
The tone was plain, yet full of determination.
Looking at his handsome features, Elara Don’s heart rippled.
No matter what, this moment made her feel warm-hearted.
"Thanks."
Elara Don’s face lit up with a smile, placing food into Damon Hawke’s dish.
"No need to mind me, eat yourself too."
"Okay."
Damon Hawke raised an eyebrow, clearly noting Elara Don’s mood had improved.
Apparently, his recent actions made her happy!
Watching the interaction between the two, Samantha Miles’ smile almost slipped.
From her perspective, Damon Hawke had always been a highly successful figure.
When did he become such a simpering admirer?
Does he truly like Elara Don down to the bone?
She didn’t want this outcome!
