Patrick felt extremely embarrassed and quickly said, “Claire, could you please be quiet
for a moment?”
“What’s there to deny? If you like someone, just admit it.” Claire patted Mrs. Martin’s arm
and directed her attention. “Mom, look at the girl next to the one Nathaniel likes.”
Mrs. Martin saw her, but her eyebrows furrowed. “The one with heavy makeup? Not
good, not good. Girls who dress like that are usually not respectable. Fortunately, she’s
already married. Otherwise, if she were to marry into our family, our reputation would be
ruined.”
After speaking, she turned to her husband.
The Martin family had always been more traditional, and the husband typically made
household decisions. Mrs. Martin usually had to act according to her husband’s
wishes.
Although Mr. Martin didn’t say anything, his brows were also slightly furrowed, showing
his disapproval. Obviously, he didn’t approve of this flashy appearance.
The Martin family had a respectable background, but when it came to this matter, they
were generally low–key. They always educated their children to be modest and humble.
Mrs. Martin knew that she had said the right thing and smiled contentedly as she said
to Patrick, “There’s no need to rush. There are many fine young ladies here today. Take
another look and see if there’s anyone else you like.”
Mr. Sniper took a sip of champagne and casually asked, “Has Patrick finished his
studies abroad?”
“I finished a long time ago. I graduated during the summer vacation. Nathaniel, you
haven’t been home for so long that you didn’t even know when I graduated,” Patrick
complained softly.
Mr. Sniper nodded with a slight smile and said, “I’ll make it up to you when I have the
chance.”
“Nathaniel, how about letting me work for your company?” Patrick pleaded, “We can
achieve great things together!”
Claire said to him, “Forget it. You can’t even achieve greatness yourself. Look at how
Chapter 191 Working Together
much weight you’ve gained recently. Your belly is sticking out.”
“Hey, Claire, are you looking for trouble today?”
“Yeah, but I’ve had enough! It’s time for me to excuse myself.”
Claire wasn’t the protagonist today, and she didn’t want to stay for long. She wanted to
go find Mateo!
But today, Mateo did arrive, but no one knew where he went. She had looked around
the banquet hall several times but still couldn’t find him. She decided to check the
garden at the back.
The little girl skipped and hopped, holding up her skirt as she ran. Mr. Martin helplessly
said, “This girl is becoming more and more impolite. I should send her to my mother to
learn some manners.”
Mrs. Martin busily served him food, advising, Youngsters are like this. As they grow older, they will naturally become more stable, Come, let’s eat something first.”
Mr. Martin’s attention was clearly not on eating. It wasn’t easy for their son to be
interested in a girl. He couldn’t wait to see how outstanding this girl was and to be able
to tame this unruly young man.
“Patrick, go and invite that girl in the white dress to join us for dinner. Isn’t there an
empty seat next to Claire? Let her sit there.”
Claire’s seat was considered an important position. Mr. Martin’s words indicated that he
was already considering the girl as a potential daughter–in–law. As long as she wasn’t
too out of line and his son liked her, he would be happy to see it happen.
Patrick nodded. “Okay, I’ll go now.
Mr. Sniper lowered his head, his expression unreadable. He neither agreed nor
opposed. Mr. Martin took it as his consent and waved his hand, urging Patrick to hurry.
But every move on the main seat was almost the focus of the entire room. Many people had already noticed when Mr. Martin and Mrs. Martin’s gaze shifted to the farthest
table

And now, the son of the Martin family was walking straight toward it!
Could it be?
Sherry was focused on eating with her head down when she suddenly heard Sophia
beside her take a deep breath and hold her stomach.
When she looked up, she saw Patrick slowly approaching.
He smiled and nodded at Sherry as a form of greeting, and she smiled back.

Although this small gesture was hard to notice, Nora could sense something unusual
She looked at Patrick, then at Sherry, deep in thought.
“Hello, my name is Patrick.”
In her contemplation, Patrick had already approached, slightly bending down and respectfully extending his hand, waiting for David to shake hands with him.
David had already recognized him as the son of the Martin family and quickly reached
out his hand, saying, “Hello, hello.”
Patrick’s gaze slowly shifted toward Sophia, who was wearing a white dress. “My
parents would like to invite this young lady to have dinner together at the chairman’s
seat. I wonder if it’s convenient.”
Patrick’s voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for the people at the surrounding
tables
to hear clearly. Instantly, there was the sound of utensils falling to the ground,
and someone even gasped in surprise.
Everyone looked at Sophia with jealousy.
It was the first time Sophia had ever experienced such a moment of being the center of
attention. She blushed and said, “Me?”
“Yes, it’s you,” Patrick gestured with his hand as if inviting her. “Is it convenient?”
“Very convenient!” Nora directly answered for Sophia and nudged her with her elbow.
“Mr. Martin, sorry for asking, but does this mean that Mr. and Mrs. Martin have invited my daughter to have dinner at the main seat? So is it confirmed already?”

Patrick answered without revealing anything: “My parents are very democratic. As long
as my brother likes it, it’s fine.”
Sophia was pleasantly surprised. Just a moment ago, that man had whispered many
passionate words to her in the corner of the garden, so it seemed that he was quite
satisfied with her. But his actions were really fast. He was already letting her meet his
parents so soon.
Everything was happening too easily. It was as if God was helping her!
Nora smiled and nodded. “Yes, relationships are between two people. The most
important thing is that they have mutual feelings.
Patrick nodded with a smile and looked at David. “Forgive me for asking, are you Mr.
Wilson?
David was pleasantly surprised. “Mr. Martin, are you familiar with me?”
Mr. Wilson is highly respected in the architectural community. How could I not know you? Moreover, I also specialize in landscape design, so I consider myself your junior. In
Chapter 191 Working Together
the future, I will rely on Mr. Wilson’s guidance, Patrick replied.
These words were a great compliment. David was extremely pleased and
enthusiastically applauded, saying, “No problem, no problem. If our families can
strengthen our relationship, we will be like one family. If there’s anything I can do to
assist you, Mr. Martin, please don’t hesitate to reach out.”
