Chapter 392: Allen Is Doomed

…

The originally quiet villa became livelier because of the hustle and bustle.

Riya came down from upstairs and looked at the man sitting on the sofa, who was flipping through the iPad. She coughed lightly.

Only then did Stefan shift his eyes from a pool of data to Riya. There was something in his deep eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

The man stood up and said, “The food is ready. Have something to eat.”

Riya stood not far away as Stefan looked at her. She turned around shyly and said, “Sure.”

Stefan pulled out the chair for her, and then Riya sat on it with grace.

“These are all your favorites. Don’t you like this spicy crayfish? It’s the first time I made it. Try it and see how it tastes.”

Riya looked at the crayfish on her plate and found that it had been peeled.

Stefan had done this kind of thing before. She wouldn’t think much of it at then. She just ate it.

But today, she felt a little strange. She tasted it and nodded, “Delicious.”

“Eat more if you like it, but it’s a bit spicy.”

“What’s wrong with your hand?”

Riya’s gaze was fixed on Stefan’s hand that flashed past her eyes.

He was holding the black jade chopsticks, which made his hands whiter and slender. She knew his hands were beautiful, but it was until now that she felt it was pleasing to the eye.

She grabbed Stefan’s wrist, and the man was obviously stunned. He subconsciously wanted to retract his hand.

“It’s just that I accidentally hurt my hand when I was peeling the crayfish. It doesn’t matter.”

It was just a meal. He didn’t take it to heart. And it was not serious. It just hurt his layer of skin.

“Crayfish contains a lot of bacteria. What if you get infected?”

Stefan was stunned for a moment at Riya’s questioning. He was actually a little powerless to refute. He only forced out a sentence, “I’m really fine.”

“You still have to paste a band-aid. Where’s your medicine box?”

Riya got up and was about to look for it when Stefan grabbed her wrist.

The man’s expression was calm as he slowly said, “No need.”

Riya opened her lips and met his gaze. She suddenly felt dispirited.

She sat back in her seat, and the man continued to serve her food.

“You must be hungry. You have had some porridge, but you still should take care. Don’t eat too much.”

Riya lowered her head and obediently ate the food he brought over.

Originally, she was very hungry. She didn’t know if it was that she was too hungry to eat. When she looked at the food, she didn’t seem to be in a hurry to eat.

“The clothes in the room upstairs … is my size.”

After Riya finished speaking, she quickly stuffed two mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, pretending.

It was just a normal question. They were already so familiar with each other. It was just a chat. There was no need for her to be nervous!

“Those are made according to your size. They are yours.”

What!

After a series of coughs, Stefan handed her a cup of water.

Riya didn’t dare to raise her head. She grabbed the cup and drank it all.

She didn’t care about the money. She just felt that … Stefan was kind of weird…

“Take care.”

“I’m fine.”

She waved her hands at Stefan, trying to calm herself. Then she forced a smile at Stefan.

“I have my own. I don’t need these…”

Her wardrobe was bigger than this. She was born with a silver spoon. What kind of gorgeous things had she not seen?

She just couldn’t understand why Stefan would prepare this for her.

“I know, but it’s not convenient to go back and get your clothes when you stay here. I will make new clothes according to your size every season. Don’t worry about not fitting.”

The more Stefan said the more Riya felt it was scary.

“What is wrong with you? Do you know what you’re saying?” Riya thought.

“The clothes fit me well. I just don’t think you need to do this.” In any case, she did not intend to stay here. Or it would be too strange.

As Riya was thinking, she suddenly thought of something. She suddenly turned around and asked, “Do you change these clothes every season?”

Stefan nodded, “These were sent over a week ago.”

“How do you know my size?”

After Riya finished speaking, she saw the man raise his head. His gaze directly fell on her. “I measure it myself.”

Riya was speechless.

What!!!

“Don’t do this anymore. I won’t wear them.”

“Haven’t you already worn it? Are you uncomfortable, or are you dissatisfied? I’ll get them to change another batch.”

“Stefan!”

Looking at the man’s calm appearance, Riya finally couldn’t help but be angry.

The man looked innocent. But she was outraged now.

“We are just friends. You don’t have to prepare anything for me, and you don’t have to cook. You are the president of the Key Group. It’s unlikely that you can’t hire a cook. Even if you do all of this, I won’t accept you. Nothing will ever happen between us.”

“Why?”

The man clenched the chopsticks in his hand, and his expression remained indifferent.

It was just that his deep and dark eyes were fixing on Riya’s face. The woman opened her mouth and could only say, “I don’t like you.”

It had been so many years. If she could like him, she would already fall in love with him.

She was not a self -deceiving person. If she really had any interest in him back then, they would not be friends for so many years.

Since she failed to fall in love with him, she felt that they wouldn’t have any possibility.

She disliked keeping someone waiting and the idea of a backup.

The villa returned to silence immediately.

Riya felt the deadly silence. She couldn’t help but look up. When she met the man’s cold gaze, she was slightly stunned.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard a calm reply, “I know.”

That was it?

Riya looked at him. She suddenly couldn’t understand this man.

Was there a need to pester her?

<Unless she is the daughter of the Marley family.> she thought.

“The dishes are cold. Hurry up and eat!”

Stefan’s calm attitude made Riya feel that it was unreal.

Normally, when a man was rejected by a woman, even if he didn’t have to be heartbroken, he would still have to take into account his dignity.

However, in front of Riya, Stefan seemed to have no dignity.

Riya ate very carefully. She was even a little nervous. Her movements were so slow that she chewed about a hundred times in one bite.

“Why don’t you swallow it?”

Stefan raised his head, and his deep eyes met hers.

Riya took a deep breath and subconsciously replied, “I’m afraid you’ll poison me!”

…

There was a type of man who was very extreme.

To describe it in a word, he would destroy whoever he couldn’t get.

Riya always thought that Stefan must be this type.

He never cared about his relatives.

He didn’t think about killing her! She was surprised.

After they finished their meal peacefully, Riya remembered something and then said, “I want to buy a new phone.”

She thought about it for a night but could not remember where she had put her phone.

It should be she and Allen had too much fun and dropped her phone in the cinema or somewhere else by accident.

She called herself using Stefan’s phone, but it was turned off.

“Is there anything you like?”

Riya thought about it and said casually, “Anything is fine. It would be best if it was beautiful and could play games.”

The man agreed and began to clean up the mess on the table.

Riya watched the TV in boredom. Since her phone was gone, she could only use Stefan’s phone to browse Twitter.

She made an appointment with Allen that day, but they didn’t contact each other after that. They said they would go to the aquarium together. He should contact her these days.

After logging into her account, Riya flipped to Allen’s Twitter. She opened her eyes wide and said, “The Epkar Group was acquired?”

No way!

It had only been a day. No matter what, the Epkar family was not ordinary. It was too dramatic to go bankrupt overnight.

Moreover, there was not much publicity on the Internet about such a big company.

Only their official website released an announcement, saying, “From today onwards, the Epkar Group will become a member of the SK Group. Let us move forward and fight on.”

That was it?

Moreover, why did this Group sound so familiar? But she could not seem to remember.

In any case, Allen should be in a bad mood.

Although he was not the head of the Epkar family, he was still the only heir. His family business went bankrupt all of a sudden, and he was no longer the people burn in purple. He was just an ordinary person now. This may be too much for him to endure.

Riya wanted to comfort him, but she did not expect that she would be blacklisted…

What was the situation?

Didn’t he ask her to see dolphins last night? Why did he suddenly defriend her?

Riya frowned and stared at the phone for a long time. Then she sighed.

She wanted to tell Allen her true feelings towards him, but now she wasn’t given a chance.

“Do you want to go out and take a walk?”

Stefan stepped forward and asked. Riya withdrew her account and shook her head, “No need, it’s too hot outside. I don’t want to move.”

Otherwise, when she came back, she would have to take another bath.

It seemed that she still had to find some time tomorrow to go home and explain the matter of Allen to her family.

He was the relative of her uncle. She should treat him seriously.

“When will I have my phone?”

Riya stopped walking and then turned around. She looked at the man and asked.

“Tomorrow morning.”

After getting a satisfactory answer, Riya nodded and went upstairs.

Stefan looked at the phone that had been thrown on the sofa. He glanced at it, then put it in his bag.

She originally thought that she would have to put in some effort to go home, but she never expected that Stefan would agree to her request on the second day. He even ’kindly’ sent her back.

So weird.

In the living room. Riya looked at the dignified man sitting on the sofa and frowned, “Why did you come in?”

The man smiled and said unhurriedly, “I asked grandfather to play chess today.” “What a coincidence.” Riya wondered.

Carl was especially happy to see Stefan. He saw how Stefan grew up. He had many connections to him.

“I asked you to play with me long ago, but you didn’t come.”

Carl complained as he set up the chessboard.

His sons and grandsons were too busy. Every time they played with him; they would leave early after being offhand with him. Or they just meant to lose to him. He was not satisfied!

He was old, but he wasn’t muddled.

“The company has a project these days, and I will return to River City the day after tomorrow.”

Riya’s eyes lit up when she heard that Stefan was going to return.

Finally, he was going to leave. She finally no longer needed to be stared at by this man.

Carl sighed in disappointment. Before he could speak, Stefan spoke first, “You can call me at any time whenever you want to play chess.”

Carl nodded in satisfaction, his tone full of emotion, “It’s a pity that you’re the only grandson of your grandfather. If there were a few more as outstanding as you, my boys would be overshadowed by you.”

Carl said with disdain, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

“I still have to thank you for the Epkar family’s matter. If it wasn’t for you, Riya would have suffered!”

Riya, who was drinking coffee, suddenly tilted.

Her ears pricked up.

Did she accidentally hear something? That kid from the Epkar family … Allen?

Riya quickly turned to look at Stefan. Good boy, so you were the one who bought the Epkar Group.

“Grandpa, it’s nothing. Riya and I grew up together. We are like … family. I naturally have to take care of her.”

“Flattering!” Riya thought.

Carl nodded in satisfaction. Then, he sighed heavily, “My girl is not that bad. You are not young anymore. Why don’t you consider her?”

“Grandpa, didn’t you say that even if I didn’t marry, you would love me for the rest of your life?”

Riya’s face was cold as she glared at Carl.

He said she was the best. No one was worthy of her. But now, before Stefan, he had other words!

“Don’t be angry. I just think that Stefan is too outstanding. Of course, my girl is not bad either.”

He held Stefan’s hand and said earnestly, “How is it? Just think about that.” “Grandpa, what are you talking about? I won’t marry him.” Riya said angrily. Then she turned around and went upstairs.

A grown girl can’t be kept at home? It was not that she didn’t want to stay with her family. It was just that they all pushed her away!

There was Allen and now Stefan. How could Carl say this in front of Stefan! “Riya is angry.”

Carl carefully sized up that figure until she disappeared around the corner. Then, he looked at Stefan and said, “She just can’t figure it out. Don’t worry, and I will support you.”

“Thank you, grandpa!”

Stefan withdrew his gaze from upstairs and returned it to the chessboard. He made a move.

Carl’s eyes lit, “Good!”

He stroked his beard in satisfaction, “Don’t worry about that kid. He should pay the price. I have already asked them to handle the matter.”

Allen was doomed!
