Chapter 139 The Puzzle of Wynter Identity
Standing next to the car, Ewan’s impatience grew. He couldn’t wait any longer and was about to venture into the alley to search for Larry.
However, Ewan was not dumb. Seeing Larry make such a grand entrance when he entered earlier, he knew it would’ve drawn some attention.
Thus, he decided to ask Susan and Warren if they knew where Larry had gone. If that didn’t work, he would go straight to Margaret and ask her instead!
Before Ewan could step inside, his attention was drawn to Jerry, who was standing outside. the barbecue shop. To his surprise, Larry was seated at a table by the window.
Growing up, Ewan had frequented this modest shop himself. But seeing someone like Larry here was unexpected and out of place.
Unbeknownst to Ewan, the choice of venue was orchestrated by Wynter, who valued convenience above all else.
“More meat. Wolf loves it,” she insisted.
Larry’s smile was almost ingratiating. “Bring us 20 plates of mutton!”
Wolf gestured with a hand that indicated the number five.
Wynter calmly ordered, “Make it 50 plates.”
Larry quickly complied. “50 plates then!”
Larry marveled at Wolf, “Boss, it’s truly remarkable how accommodating Wolf is when you’re present. It’s quite amazing that Wolf was the first to find you.”
Wynter simply nodded without delving into details.
Larry rolled up his sleeves and handed her the utensils. “Boss, Wolf seems a bit unfamiliar
with me.”
It struck Larry as odd that Wolf didn’t even playfully pull his hair upon seeing him.
Besides, Wolf’s eyes used to be a different color.
Wynter gently patted Wolf’s head. “He matured too quickly. His nutrition couldn’t keep pace, and it affected his brain.”
Larry was shocked. “What do you mean?”
“He suffers from amnesia,” Wynter remarked casually as she tied her black hair into a ponytail.
She then placed an order for a plate of mutton before glancing outside. “Larry, you’ve brought along a follower.”
Upon hearing this, Wolf stopped eating and tried to rush out.
Wynter raised her hand to halt him. “That’s none of your concern. Finish your meal, then prepare some noodles for Grandma. She prefers them without meat, so add an egg and boil the noodles until they’re soft.”
Their position was conveniently obscured by a wall from Ewan’s view outside. All he could discern was Larry attentively tending to someone seated across from him..
Ewan couldn’t help but wonder who it was that could be important enough to compel Larry to go to such lengths.
Ewan’s eyes sparkled as he yearned to barge in.
Jerry was surprised by the shamelessness of Ewan, who had apparently followed them here.
Larry certainly didn’t want to see him, so without hesitation, Jerry stepped forward to intercept him. “Mr. Yates, what do you think you’re doing?”
“Jerry, we’ve been friends for a long time. I just want to head in for a meal. I won’t disturb Mr. Hilton,” Ewan smiled apologetically. “At most, I’ll raise a glass to him.”
Jerry’s tone was icy. “Mr. Hilton has never met you, and there’s no need for drinks.”
“I can tell Mr. Hilton is in a good mood,” Ewan persisted, not giving up on the idea of going in.
He stood on tiptoe to get a better view. “But who are the people dining with him? How did they end up meeting here?”
Jerry blocked his way. “Ewan, if you keep this up, I’ll have to call security.”
“Please, don’t,” Ewan pleaded. He even offered a cigarette to appease Jerry. “I’m just curious. I only want to see for myself why someone as influential as Mr. Hilton would even bother giving utensils to others.”
But Jerry wasn’t swayed. He turned around and commanded, “Get him out of here.”
In that fleeting moment, Ewan strained to catch a glimpse inside. With just one look, he found himself instantly frozen in place!
