Chapter 160
She had work and private affairs distinguished clearly.
She didn't want to give Jaxon any chance to reverie, which was otherwise not good for either him or her.
However, Jaxon knew clearly that if he spoke frankly, Mikayla would leave immediately instead of continuing dinner with him.
The closer it was to her wedding with Carlos, the sadder and more annoyed Jaxon felt. At the thought of their marriage, Jaxon was frantic.
In particular, Jaxon saw Mikayla's perfect figure. Thus, he couldn't calm down as he imagined that she would lie in another man's arms one day.
Jaxon wanted their wedding to fail, but he didn't have time to deal with it because the company's new project went wrong. He then had the matter investigated. It was by no means accidental. It had been set up in secret and completely untraceable.
Jaxon was not suspicious of anyone but Carlos!
He believed it must have been Carlos who tried to get in his way and kept him busy.novelbin
Carlos was just a minor role as someone who spent time in the military base. No matter how rich the Ludwig family was, it was nothing more than that. Jaxon didn't expect that Carlos would hold such a luxurious wedding to marry Mikayla.
People had been speculating about the cost of their wedding. Jaxon had personally managed a wedding before and knew it cost a lot even to hold an ordinary wedding, not to mention a luxurious one.
Jaxon thought, 'Is it possible that, as Dad said, Carlos is not so simple? Anyway, I won't give up!'
"Mikayla, take our time. I'll tell you after dinner." Jaxon looked at Mikayla and her more and more beautiful eyes that attracted him.
Mikayla pursed her lips and watched the waitress serve the dishes one after another.
"It's all your favorite food! When we had dinner together, you were never in a hurry." When Jaxon asked the waitress to serve dishes, he picked out Mikayla's favorite ones and put them in front of her.
"You use the word 'had"!" Mikayla silently watched everything Jaxon did. "Jaxon, if it weren't for business, I wouldn't have come."
Jaxon's heart ached.
His eyes were dim, but the next second he smiled again. "I just want to have dinner with you." He found countless excuses and picked one that would make her come the most likely.
Mikayla said, "Jaxon, forget about our past! We won't get back together."
All the dishes were served, but Mikayla didn't pick up her fork.
"I know I was wrong!" Jaxon didn't know why he couldn't forget it. If he could, he wouldn't think about her all day and night.
It was the first time Mikayla had seen Jaxon so low-profile.
In the past, he was always among the top no matter in terms of family background or schoolwork. He was handsome, elegant, and popular among people. He had everything he could be proud of, but now, he couldn't control himself.
It was the truth.
Mikayla said, "Jaxon, if you mention the past again, I don't think we necessarily have this meal."
Jaxon said, "Forget it! Let's eat!"
While they were having dinner, Jaxon kept finding topics to chat with Mikayla whose reaction was very calm.
Everything Jaxon ate was tasteless at the moment. When they were together in the past, there were always endless topics to talk about during meals. They were in the same school and their friends knew each other, so they could talk a lot about everything.
But now, no matter what he mentioned, she didn't seem to have much interest.
He didn't believe that she had forgotten everything about their relationship over the years.
He couldn't believe that she would fall in love with Carlos so soon.
"Mikayla, there will be a class reunion. Will you go?" Jaxon asked, picking up the food on his plate.
"If I'm busy, I won't go." Mikayla put down the fork and saw that Jaxon didn't seem to eat much. "I've finished. You must be almost done, right? Can you tell me now?"
Jaxon also put down his fork and wiped the corner of his mouth slowly. "Mikayla, isn't there anything else you want to say except for work?" "No!" Mikayla said decisively.
"Really?" Jaxon smiled self-mockingly.
Mikayla really had no patience with Jaxon anymore, so she picked up her handbag and was about to leave.
"Mikayla, don't you have any patience with me?" Jaxon knew when to stop. He continued, "I asked you out to tell you that if you want to make a fortune in the business world, you can cooperate with me."
"Jaxon, are you trying to tell me that I can't get a foothold in the business world without being with you?" Mikayla realized that she really shouldn't have come.
At the same time, she was glad that she had broken up with Jaxon. She saw Jaxon's true colors now. He was not as modest and polite as he seemed to be.
"Mikayla, you can't achieve what you promised at the board meeting of Salvatore Group by yourself, and some people don't want to see you succeed!" Jaxon put it bluntly.
When Mikayla was about to reply to Jaxon, she suddenly stared in a direction as if she was confirming something. Although it was just a flash, she could see it clearly.
She wondered, 'Isn't that Brantley?'
Mikayla knew the girl next to Brantley. She was Sienna Callahan, Giovanni's daughter.
Brantley and Sienna walked together with Giovanni, ready to pay the bill, and left.
Mikayla had met Sienna once or twice at parties. Sienna was a perfectly good girl.
However, Sienna was looking at Brantley with a shy look.
Mikayla wondered, 'Does Mr. Callahan intend to make a match between Brantley and Sienna?'
Jaxon followed Mikayla's gaze and looked over. He happened to see the scene.
He wondered, 'Brantley and Mr. Callahan, and Sienna?'
When Brantley, Giovanni and Sienna walked out
Mikayla the restaurant,
came back to her senses. She said to Jaxon, "Thank you for reminding me. I won't give those people any chance. I must go Thank you for dinner, and don't ask me out alone in the future."
After saying that, Mikayla took her handbag and left without looking back.
Mikayla thought, 'Does Jaxon intend to tell me that someone would take the opportunity to destroy it? Or maybe he would be the one! Well, it's useless to think too much about it. There are always ways to deal with it
anyway.'
Mikayla walked out of Lugrea Restaurant and happened to see not far away that Brantley was opening the car door for Sienna.
When Mikayla was about to hail a taxi on the roadside, a man sitting not far from her and Jaxon's desk just now stopped the car in front of her. I He got off and opened the door for her respectfully. "Mrs. Ludwig, MALudwig asked me to pick you up."
Mikayla nodded and sat in the car.
After a while, Mikayla took out her phone and dialed Juliet's number.
Mikayla asked, "Juliet, where are you?"
Juliet was lying in bed with a moisturizing mask. "I'm at home! What's wrong? Do you miss me so soon? Aren't you making a baby with Carlos?"
