CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 361

Sampson noticed the change in Alyssa's emotions and comforted her, "You will remember it slowly."

Alyssa was comforted by him.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and asked him, "Where are my old friends?"

She had woken up for so long, but she had never seen any friends come to see her.

Did she not have any friends?

Sampson's expression did not change, as if he was not surprised at all that she would ask such a question. "We did not live together before. So I do not know much of your friends."

Alyssa blinked. She had always felt that her relationship with Sampson was not that close. After hearing what he said, she did not doubt anything.

Sampson told her that she had an accident overseas. Sampson was not with her at that moment.

When the doctor informed Sampson about this, he only saw her alone.

So Sampson did not know how the accident happened.

Alyssa had also lost her phone in that accident. And as for her other social accounts, she could not remember their user name and passwords at all.

Thinking about this, Alyssa's mood dropped again. She lowered her head in silence.

"Don't think so much. Just let nature take its course." Sampson patted her shoulder. "Are you hungry? I'll take you out for dinner."

"Yes." Alyssa raised her head and smiled at him.

She could feel that she did not have a deep relationship with Sampson. However, Sampson really wanted to take good care of her.

In her current situation, she could not get along with Sampson like a normal couple. So they could only start from being friends. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

This was something she had discussed with Sampson before she was discharged from the hospital.

Sampson drove her to a vegetarian restaurant not far from the apartment.

Alyssa had slept for three years. Due to her weak gastrointestinal condition, and since all the functions of her body were still recovering, her appetite was not good. So she tried her best to eat some vegetarian food.

After taking a seat, Sampson said to her, "I have come to eat in this restaurant once before. The dishes taste good. You might like it as well."

After he finished speaking, he pushed the menu to her and said. "You can order first. I'll go to the washroom."

"Okay." Alyssa took the menu and looked at it.

There were a lot of dishes. But there was nothing Alyssa really wanted to eat. So she looked at the menu slowly.

Furthermore, she felt that the dishes here were a little expensive.

At this moment, a group of people walked in from outside the restaurant.

"Do you want to sit in a private room or in the main hall?"

"The main hall, the private room is a bit stuffy."

"Anyway, there aren't many people at the moment. Let's sit in the main hall."

As the group of people spoke, they walked to the dining table beside Alyssa and sat down.

Alyssa inadvertently turned her head to look at the table next to her. Her line of sight just happened to clash with a man's line of sight.

The man looked very young and his skin was white. He had a handsome face. He looked like the kind of man who especially attracted women to like him. He was the kind of man who knew how to talk and flatter people.

Although the clothes he was wearing were simple, they were of excellent quality. One look and one could tell that he was a rich young master.

When the man's gaze met hers, his eyes suddenly widened. He pointed at her for a long time but was unable to say anything. Then he suddenly got up and rushed towards her.

Because he was too excited, when he got up, he almost knocked over the dining table. The table feet rubbed against the ground and made an ear-piercing sound.

"Ell… Ell… Alyssa, why are you here?" Xavier stuttered for a while before he finally called out her name. "Alyssa, why are you here?! When did you return to Herton City?"

A week ago, Xavier's mother said that she found a very delicious vegetarian restaurant and wanted to find time to bring him to eat.

He happened to have nothing to do today, so he came with her.

At first, he was reluctant to come here. After all, in the past two years, his family had been urging him to get married quickly. His relatives had been urging him to find a girlfriend every day. They even wanted him to go on a blind date.

But now, he was glad that he had come today.

He had just sat down and when he saw Alyssa at the next table, he wondered if he was hallucinating.

After all, when the accident happened back then, he had brought many people to search for her on the island for a long time.

At the beginning, he searched for a month. Later, when this matter was known by Hazel, she spent all her savings and searched Alyssa for a whole half a year but still could not find it.

They had searched every corner of the island. But they did not find Alyssa at all.

"Do you know me?" Alyssa looked at Xavier in surprise.

How did she know someone like Xavier?

Xavier looked like a rich young master.

Although she had forgotten all about the past, when she first looked at the menu, she felt that these dishes were very expensive. This point was enough to show that she was born very ordinary and did not live a wealthy life.

When she looked at the rich man in front of her, she knew that there was a huge gap between them, not to mention the man called Emmett Lawrence whom she saw on TV yesterday.

"What… what?" Xavier saw Alyssa's unfamiliar eyes and frowned. He pointed at himself and said, "I am Xavier! Xavier Hall! What's going on? Don't you recognize me anymore?"

After Xavier finished speaking, did Xavier notice that Alyssa was a little too thin. She looked like she had just recovered from a serious illness and she looked very weak.

Alyssa murmured his name, "Xavier. . ."

At this time, Sampson came back.

He stood behind Xavier and said in an unfriendly tone. “Sir, you are too close to her."

When Xavier came over earlier, he was so excited that he held the table with one hand and leaned over to talk to Alyssa. As he was a little close to Alyssa, from other people's point of view, the way he stared at Alyssa was as if he was looking for trouble with her.

Xavier turned to look at Sampson and said unhappily, "Who are you?"

Just now, Alyssa's completely unfamiliar look had already made Xavier somewhat depressed. Now another busybody appeared. Xavier naturally did not have a good tone.

Sampson looked in Alyssa's direction and replied. "I am her friend. But who are you?"

"You are her friend? Why don't I know you?" Xavier straightened his body, crossed his arms, and looked at Sampson provocatively.

Sampson smiled. He did not take Xavier seriously. "What a coincidence. I don't know you either."

"You. . ." Xavier was tongue-tied. He turned to Alyssa and said, "Alyssa, where have you been all these years?”

"I..." Alyssa was about to speak when she was interrupted by Sampson.

Sampson looked at Xavier without any expression on his face. "Her stomach is very weak. She needs to eat when it's time to eat. If you have something to say, we may talk about it after meal.”

Xavier frowned and did not say anything.

The two men looked at each other. Only the two of them could understand the meaning in each other's eyes.

"Sure." Xavier turned to Alyssa and said, "Alyssa, let's find a place to talk after the meal."

When Xavier went back to the table before him, his mother asked him, "Xavier, who is that girl?"

"A friend I haven't seen for a long time." After Xavier finished speaking, he interrupted what his mother was about to say. "Take back what you want to say. It's impossible for us to become boyfriend and girlfriend."

In front of the outside world, he was a golden bachelor. But at home, he was an old bachelor that no one liked.
