Chapter 106 — Osmanthus Garden and Beauties
"Forget it, Justin. There's no need to argue with someone like that. Didn't you say you were going to Osmanthus Garden with your friend? How about taking Queenie for a walk instead?" Marcia said.
Justin had been about to vent his anger on John, but Marcia interrupted him.
Justin came from a well-to-do family and had once studied abroad. Nick and his wife were hoping to introduce Queenie to him. After dinner, they intended to step away and leave the two some time to get to know each other.
In fact, it was Nick and his wife who had suggested the walk in Osmanthus Garden. That was why Justin had made plans with his friends in advance.
But they hadn't anticipated John's presence.
Queenie forced a smile. "No, thanks. I don't—"
"Queenie, I bet Osmanthus Garden is a beautiful place," John said casually. "Let's take a walk there."
Hearing this, Queenie nodded. She took John's arm and said, "But you have to come with me."
Mr. and Mrs. Yeats's faces darkened.
Justin wore a sour expression as well. Left with no choice, he made a phone call to his friends, telling them he'd be out soon.
Osmanthus Garden was a free scenic spot. It was currently the season for osmanthus trees to bloom, and their fragrance wafted along the roads.
