h4Chapter 84: Love at First Sight/h4

Chloe couldn’t contain her excitement. "Oh my gosh, that hottie ising our way, E! Your charm is unstoppable!"

E couldn’t help but twitch her lips. Chloe’s choice of words was bizarre.

Mason pushed the door open, not even sparing a nce at the server who greeted him, heading straight for E.

E stood up, nodding politely. "Mr. Scott, hello."

The man gave a faint smile. "Mind if I sit here?"

E was slightly surprised. She had only seen Mr. Scott once before and they had never spoken. Why did he want to sit here now?

"Of course, Mr. Scott, feel free," E responded calmly, while Chloe blushed, clearly flustered by sitting close to such a handsome man.

Mason, with his noble bearing, was clearly extraordinary. He gave E a brief look. "We metst time in Mr. Erik’s office. You remind me of someone I used to know. I had to talk to Mr. Erik about a deal. I didn’t get a chance to talk to you, so when I saw you today, I couldn’t resist introducing myself."

E was taken aback. Someone he used to know?

She looked very much like her mother, Isabe. Could Mason have known her mother?

"My name is E Davis, and this is my friend Chloe Carter."

E smiled gracefully, her serene expression like a white lotus in a pond, making her look stunningly beautiful.

Mason felt a stir in his heart and couldn’t help but smile. His charm, while different from Eric’s, was enough to leave the surrounding girls spellbound.

"When I was young, I found a photo in my father’s study. The woman in that photo looked exactly like you."

Mason said softly, taking out his phone and showing E a picture.

E’s body trembled when she saw the screen. The photo was of Isabe. Although her mother had passed away when she was three, Robert had kept a few photos for her.

E treasured those photos, keeping them locked away in a box.

"She...is my mother." E looked up at Mason in shock. "Your father must have known my mother."

"Indeed, it seems we are fated to meet. Miss Davis, may I have your number?"

For the first time, Mason was asking a woman for her number, and this girl was barely an adult.

E didn’t refuse, thinking he probably had no ill intentions.

After giving Mason her number, he smiled gracefully. "Your mother’s name must be Isabe, right? My father mentioned her often."

E gazed into Mason’s calm eyes. "Yes, it seems our parents were acquaintances. But...my mother passed away early, so I don’t know much about her friends."

"Passed away?" Mason was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected that woman to die so young. Bad people neverst long.

"Yes, she died of illness." E’s eyes dimmed, and a cold resolve grew stronger in her heart.

If it weren’t for Brianna, her mother wouldn’t have died so soon!

"I’m sorry for bringing up sad memories," Mason apologized. Chloe, who had been silent, blushed and felt her heart race. Could this be love at first sight?

"It’s okay, it’s been a long time." E smiled. "Mr. Scott, would you like a juice?"

"No, thank you. Enjoy your drinks,dies. I have to go now."

"Goodbye, Mr. Scott!" E smiled and nodded, her clear, moonlit eyes leaving Mason with a lingering frown as he turned away.

At the counter, Mason quietly paid for E’s table before leaving. Sitting in his car, he looked at E’s phone number and a cold smile crossed his lips.

He had known since childhood that his father’s constant arguments with his mother were because of that woman!

That woman had brought endless turmoil to his family. Onlyter did Mason learn that his father had never set foot in his mother’s room.

Even when flirting with other women outside, he wouldn’t show any kindness to Mason’s mother.

So Mason harbored deep hatred for the woman hidden in that old photograph.

That woman—Isabe—was a name Mason had heard many times during his parents’ quarrels.

And from today’s conversation, he discovered that E’s mother was indeed named Isabe. This could jeopardize his partnership with Eric.

But first, he needed to gauge E’s importance to Eric. If he was just a fling, it shouldn’t affect their business rtionship.

Mason’s eyes turned cold and calcting.

Back in the juice shop, Chloe clutched her chest, speaking softly, "Oh my god, I almost died! I’ve never been this nervous, but when he sat next to me, my whole body tensed up, and my heart... it was racing!"

Chloe’s exaggerated expression made Eugh until her cheeks hurt.

"E, stopughing! Give me his number. I...I need to make the first move!" Chloe dered loudly, "I fell in love at first sight!"

E poked her forehead, "Alright, I’ll give it to you. But drink your juice first. Just remember, he’s Eric’s business partner. I don’t really know his character..."

Despite Mason being the son of her mother’s acquaintance, E worried Chloe might get hurt.

"Don’t worry! He’s young and already coborating with Eric. How bad could he be?" Chloe giggled, her face flushed with excitement.

E sighed, knowing that once Chloe set her mind on something, there was no changing it.

After finishing their drinks, E handed Mason’s number to Chloe.

Eric was waiting outside to pick her up. As soon as she got into the car, she sensed a change in the atmosphere.

Eric looked at her with a stern expression, clearly displeased. "What are you staring at? Buckle up!"

E quickly fastened her seatbelt, feeling a bit uneasy. "Are you mad? Did something happen?"

"How could I be happy when you’re attracting attention everywhere?" Eric’s evil smile didn’t reach his cold eyes. He had found out that Mason had approached her, and it irritated him. If not for his men keeping a close watch, he wouldn’t have known E had given her number to Mason.

Thinking about it made him very unhappy!

Was he not enough for her?

"Jealous again? Mason asked for my number because his father knew my mother. I saw my mom’s photo on his phone," E exined seriously. "I just want to contact his father to learn more about my mother’s past."

Eric leaned in closer, his warm breath tickling her ear. She shivered as he whispered with a teasing smile, "Behave yourself, or else..."
