Chapter 642 The Most Wanted Gift

Dolores leaned back next to Marlin, shaking his arm, saying with a sweet tone, "Marlin, right?"

Marlin responded with a nod.

Immediately, Dolores smiled sweetly.

"Marlin, since you invited Miss Wilson, why don't you ask her to join us for a drink? It's a good opportunity to apologize for what happened last time."

Marlin hesitated briefly. Given the relationship between Norah and his dad, he thought they shouldn't be hostile to each other.

"Miss Wilson, please come and drink with us."

When Marlin finished his words, Norah abruptly stood up and opened the door. "Darling"

A man and a woman were standing at the doorway.

"Mr. Boyd?" Lola's surprised voice broke the silence as she walked into the private room in high heels. "You are here too."

Marlin nodded expressionlessly.

Sean had already moved to Norah's side, holding her hand, silently declaring their relationship. "Is Mr. Scott's girlfriend acquainted with you, Mr. Boyd?" Lola narrowed her

eyes and offered a smile. "What a coincidence! Would you mind if we joined you guys?" Today is my birthday. Would you mind them join us?" Dolores exclaimed to her friends, her tone tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Her friends didn't seem to care. The more people, the merrier.

"Marlin, what are your thoughts?"

Seeing his girlfriend's crestfallen expression, Marlin hesitated, wanting to refuse them, but instead, he found himself blurting out, "No at all." Dolores, though discontented, reasoned that she had always maintained

obedience and composure in Marlin's presence. Reluctant to stir up

unnecessary conflict, she could only watch as they took their seats. Norah and Sean didn't care. Drinking anywhere was fine as long as they were together.

Sean quietly introduced Lola's background. He didn't mention the elevator incident, considering it unimportant. After entering the private room, Lola began to observe Norah and Dolores.

Both were women involved with wealthy men. Norah was confident and

generous, while Dolores was restrained and clearly from a humble background, lacking in manners. Wealthy men usually choose to marry women from rich families. It was clear Dolores didn't stand a chance. Marlin might have a new girlfriend soon.

However, it still shocked her that after so many years, Marlin finally found a

girlfriend, breaking the hearts of many wealthy ladies. Lola rang the bell and asked the bartender to bring some bottles of wine. "We won't allow Marlin to foot the bill alone.”

She swiftly poured three glasses of wine and placed them in front of each of them. Then, with her slender fingers adorned in red nail polish, she lifted her own glass.

"Happy Birthday, Miss Shaw."

Dolores had just found out about Lola's background on her phone. She replied with a flushed face, "Thank you."

No wonder Marlin invited Lola to join them; she had a strong background.

"I wasn't aware it was your birthday when I arrived. I apologize for not bringing a gift."

"It's okay, really. I'm very happy that you could celebrate with me."

She knew exactly how to treat people with status.

Indeed, Lola's demeanor did not betray any sign of displeasure. "Moreover, on my birthday, what I want most is a gift from Marlin."

She cast a fond gaze toward Marlin.
