She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Chapter 737: Chapter 737 Attending the Opening Party

In the next few rounds, Hope also got the hang of the rules and playing style, gradually becoming more proficient.

Mainly because Waylon Lewis was constantly helping her.

So much so that Liam Cloud and Thomas Hughes both kept a close eye on Waylon Lewis every time he played a card, but they couldn’t prevent him from helping Hope.

After a few rounds, the two were hopeless against this devoted husband.

Liam Cloud rolled his eyes at Waylon Lewis, "Are you even letting us live? You two are playing cards and flaunting your affections!"

Hope blinked, "How are we showing off our affection?"

"To make you win, look at how he’s playing those cards!" Liam Cloud was speechless at Waylon Lewis.

But because he was always helping Hope, Waylon Lewis lost the most, and Liam Cloud, while arranging the mahjong tiles, chuckled lightly, "Remember to get up early to make breakfast tomorrow morning."

"Okay." noveldrama

Waylon Lewis had no objections, a faint smile slowly forming on his handsome face, "Not playing anymore, time to sleep."

Waylon Lewis pulled Hope up to stand.

Liam Cloud caught Thomas Hughes’ arm and glanced at his watch, it was only nine o’clock!

"Seriously, what kind of routine do you two have?"

"You two play by yourselves, my wife needs to rest."

Liam Cloud helplessly tugged at the corners of his lips, "Two people playing mahjong at your house? What are you playing? Jenga?"

"That’s your business."

Hope smiled, "Sleep early, wake early, it’s good for health. You guys should rest early too, we’ll head off first, goodnight."

Liam Cloud, "..."

Really felt like hauling Waylon Lewis over for a beating.

...

The next day.

Breakfast was made by Hope and Waylon Lewis together when they got up. Old Ortiz grows his own fruits and vegetables here, and stores quite a lot in the small warehouse. Waylon Lewis also had a lot of ingredients brought up yesterday during the day.

Hope made porridge, steamed some pastries, and boiled some eggs, all relatively simple and didn’t take much effort.

Waylon Lewis still had work at the company and couldn’t stay here with Hope all day.

Hope also persuaded him to go back, as there was a lot to do at the company, and Luke and Willow couldn’t go without seeing them for too long.

So after breakfast, Waylon Lewis and Thomas Hughes left together, not forgetting to drag Liam Cloud along before they left.

Liam Cloud was utterly speechless at this miser.

Waylon Lewis sent Nolan and several others back to stay by Hope’s side. Even though there wasn’t any danger here, considering the distance between River City and the Emperor Capital, Waylon Lewis still couldn’t be assured about Hope, better to be safe.

...

Waylon Lewis returned to the Emperor Capital, went home first, then headed to the company.

It seemed like Wyatt really wanted to change this time. Although his injuries weren’t healed, he was already dressed in a suit early in the morning, ready to go to the company.

But as soon as his car left the door, he encountered Lily Armstrong, who had come to find him.

Wyatt Lewis, of course, remembered Lily Armstrong. She had followed Natalie Rogers in bullying Aria Richardson, and he remembered it clearly.

Wyatt Lewis’ originally indifferent expression turned cold, without any intention of acknowledging her, and he turned the steering wheel to leave.

"Young Master Lewis, wait." Lily Armstrong hastily blocked Wyatt Lewis’s car.

She stood in front of the car, forcing Wyatt Lewis to stop, his face looking increasingly unpleasant.

Lily Armstrong hurried to the car window, bent down, and lightly knocked on the window.

Wyatt Lewis had no intention of getting out of the car, impatiently rolled down the window, and looked outside, "Anything?"

Lily Armstrong ignored Wyatt Lewis’s cold demeanor and stooped to ask with concern, "Young Master Lewis, are your injuries better?"

Wyatt Lewis’s voice was cold and deep, "What’s it to you? Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Lily Armstrong chuckled, not dragging it out anymore, and handed over an invitation, "Young Master Lewis, tonight is the opening party of our family’s resort, here’s an invitation, if you have time, please come."

Wyatt Lewis glanced coolly at the invitation handed to him, his expression indifferent as usual, "Not interested, get lost."

Wyatt Lewis directly raised the car window.

Lily Armstrong’s face stiffened, but she quickly said, "Young Master Lewis, Miss Richardson will also be there tonight, are you sure you won’t come?"

Upon hearing that Aria Richardson would be there, Wyatt Lewis hesitated, and Lily Armstrong took the opportunity to toss the invitation into the car, with a light smile, "Young Master Lewis might as well hold on to it, I have nothing more, sorry to bother you, I’ll be off now."

Wyatt Lewis picked up the invitation, his brow slightly furrowed.

Lily Armstrong got back in her car. When Natalie Rogers saw her return, she immediately asked, "How was it? Will he come?"

Lily Armstrong nodded confidently, "Don’t worry, Auntie, as long as Aria is there, I’m sure he will come."

Natalie Rogers smiled broadly, "That’s great, my son can finally rid himself of that bitch Aria tonight, Lily, we owe this to you."

Lily Armstrong smiled briefly, though she felt a little nervous thinking about Alexander Knox also saying he’d come last night, but with Natalie Rogers there, she felt a bit more confident.

...

As nightfall gradually cloaked the sky, the hotel banquet hall was buzzing with excitement.

Alexander Knox was initially going to pick up Aria, but she refused.

A black car slowly came to a stop, and Aria stepped out wearing the pink puffy cocktail dress.

Even the driver couldn’t help sneaking a few more glances at her, eyes full of disbelief.

Seeing the driver’s gaze, Aria looked at her attire again and smiled nonchalantly.

As soon as Aria stepped out, she felt the eyes around her, followed by secretive laughs and whispered remarks.

Aria seemed not to hear, completely unaffected.

It was unclear whether Lily Armstrong had planned this intentionally or not.

Supposedly, it was just a lively opening party among circle friends, but the arrangement at the entrance alone showed how grand the scale was.

Aria ignored the gazes around her and was about to walk in.

A voice called out to her from behind.

"Aria."

Aria stopped and turned to see who was calling her.

Alexander Knox, in a sleek, custom-tailored suit, with a face incredibly handsome yet expressionless, exuded an air of coldness.

Aria’s gaze fell on his arms still in a cast, and as she looked away, he had already reached her.

Alexander Knox looked at Aria in her outfit, his brows knitted tightly, a fleeting expression of disdain crossing his eyes.

He asked in a calm voice, "Why did you dress like this?"

Aria raised an eyebrow, glanced down at her outfit, then looked up and smiled at him, "Did you forget? This was a gift from Miss Armstrong. She has good taste, doesn’t she? She said it suits me well. How does this dress look on me?"
