Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)

Chapter 2038

After some persuasion, Roxanne reluctantly agreed, though she was clearly unhappy about it. With

Matthew present, she couldn't very well lose her temper. It was important to maintain her feminine

image, so she glanced gratefully at Eleanor. Tritus also realized that he couldn't directly confront

Matthew with Roxanne around, as it would only make her angrier. So, he had to take a more patient

approach.

"Mr. Larson, I'm sorry. Sometimes when I care too much about someone, I become over-anxious."

After a false apology to Matthew, Tritus quickly extended an invitation. "Roxanne, haven't you been

wanting to treat Mr. Larson to a meal? It's already too late to go anywhere else, so why don't you dine

here with us? What do you think, Mr. Larson?"

His tone carried a hint of menace, but Matthew shrugged off the veiled threat. In Bainbridge, even the

most arrogant person wouldn't dare to mobilize a large number of people. Moreover, they were

currently preparing for the Holy Doctor Competition, and any potential threat to public security would be

severely punished. No matter how powerful the family was, it was nothing compared to the country's

dignity.

"I don't mind, but I'm curious. Wasn't Miss Bane wanting to treat me to a meal just something between

me and her?" Matthew walked over with a mocking expression. "Mr. Tritus, are you monitoring Miss

Bane every day, or did someone tell you about this?"

As soon as those words came out, Tritus was speechless. Meanwhile, Roxanne was already flustered

by the confession from Tritus she had heard earlier. With Matthew's remarks, she suddenly understood.

How could Tritus know about her improving health and her dinner invitation to Matthew? Someone

must have leaked the information.

She turned her head and glanced at Eleanor, who immediately looked awkward and lowered her head. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Eleanor was cursing Matthew in her heart, Damn you and your devious intention of trying to drive a

wedge between Roxanne and me. She didn't feel an ounce of guilt for her actions.

"How about we go to another restaurant, Mr. Larson?" Although Roxanne was doing her best to

suppress her irritation, it was clear to everyone that she was extremely upset. But when she spoke,

Eleanor immediately panicked. After all, it was not easy to conspire with Tritus. If they missed this

opportunity, they might not have another chance.

"It's my fault, Roxy. I accidentally let it slip. We've already ordered food here, so it's a waste not to eat it

all. If we go to another restaurant now, there might not be any seats available. Plus, Mr. Larson is

preparing for the competition, and it would be a waste of his time to go back and forth, right?"

Compared to Tritus, Eleanor was much smarter. Although she was unwilling to, she still brought up

Matthew to divert Roxanne's attention. Sure enough, when Matthew was mentioned, Roxanne's

expression softened.

"Miss Bane, why don't we just have a simple meal here?" Matthew could see through Eleanor's little

trick and didn't want to trouble Roxanne. The sooner they finished eating, the sooner they could go

home, and the issue of his request would have to wait.

After Roxanne nodded, Tritus took a deep breath and suppressed his fury. Then, he clapped his hands

and said, "Please bring out the food, Manager."

Since they had ordered in advance and reserved the restaurant, the food was served quickly. By the

time they all sat down, the dishes had already been placed on the table. Although Tritus was impulsive,

he wasn't stupid. Any obvious hostility toward Matthew would only provoke Roxanne's displeasure.

Tritus had stopped using his foolish ways, so he said, "Mr. Larson, what happened earlier was my fault.

I'm really sorry. To show my apology, I'll drink as a punishment."

After speaking in a cheerful tone, Tritus lifted his head and gulped down the wine in his glass. Then, he

poured himself some more wine.
