Chapter 429 Be Rebuffed in the First Encounter
A puppy?
Alexa had a puzzled look on her face, not understanding what Marin meant.
At this time, Marin gracefully adjusted the frame of her glasses and showed a bright smile to the person
outside the window.
In a few seconds, the man entered the room and sat down in front of her.
"What a coincidence, we met again."
Marin warmly greeted the man. Her eyes glued to his face steadily.
The man was a little shy of her gaze and just focused on looking down at the menu.
There were no drinks in front of Marin.
Seeing that, he said, "What do you want to drink? This time, I'll treat it as compensation from last time."
"You helped me when I sprained my ankle last time. So you don't have to compensate me." Marin
smiled, "Does the cappuccino taste good?"
The man nodded and closed the menu.
He said to the waiter, "Two cups of cappuccino with chocolate cake. Thank you."
"Give me your Line account," Marin said, "I'll transfer the money to you."
He answered seriously, "No, it's not valuable."
Seeing that, Marin smiled gently.
"Have you never been in a relationship?"
"Why are you asking me that?"
Mann's words made his ears red. Marin found that the man was a little cute.
"Transferring money is just an excuse. I just want your Line account."
"Oh..."
"So, can I?"
Marin waved her phone. This time, the man did not refuse and quickly agreed to her friend request.
His personal information was extremely concise.
His Line name was just two words, "Edwin Bradshaw".
"Is this your real name?" Marin asked with interest.
"Yes."

Edwin nodded and answered concisely.
Then he saw Marin's Line name.
Edwin asked curiously, "Do you like puppies?"
"Yes, that's right."
Marin nodded with interest, holding her chin and watching his reaction.
"Do you like puppies too?"
He looked really happy.
"I like them."
Marin looked at him, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
"I like puppies."
"I also like puppies. Little kittens are also very cute."
"I see." Marin nodded meaningfully. "That's good. We get the same interests."
Marin looked at her phone screen and changed Edwin's nickname to "puppy."
They had a cup of coffee together. The atmosphere was very quiet, and they did not talk too much.
Marin did not finish her coffee, and she had only tasted a few mouthfuls of the cake, but she looked
very happy.
"Where do you work?" she asked, "Looking at your outfit, are you a college student who just
graduated?"
Edwin looked gentle and clean, and with the casual clothes he was wearing today, he looked quite
young.
However, he was already 26 years old. He was surprised that Marin regarded him as a college student.
"It has been a while since I graduated." He replied ambiguously, "I am now an assistant."
"Well, it is good." Marin nodded. "This is a promising job."
Edwin felt that she was teasing him, but he didn't know how to reply.
"Sorry." He hung his eyes shy. "I haven't had much contact with girls, so I don't know how to talk with
you."
"Are you nervous?"
Marin asked him with a smile. Edwin felt even more pressure in his heart.
"No, I'm not nervous."

"Little liar."
Marin was very good at chatting with this kind of "little boy", which made Edwin blush with just a few
words.
"Thank you for your coffee."
She got up and left, standing beside Edwin for a moment.
"I'm very happy to chat with you. See you next time."
Edwin stared at her back for a while and was a little absent-minded.
When she heard that Alexa was going back to New York, Marin specially prepared a gift for her.
It happened that Terrence was not at home, so they could speak freely.
"Ms. Duran." Marin handed the gift box to her. "Inside are the jade pendants
I prepared for the two babies. Also, this is a jade bracelet for you."
Marin knew that Alexa liked these jades, so she specially asked someone to find a top designer to
make them.
However, Alexa was obviously more interested in another thing.
"Who is the puppy you just told me about?"
Hearing this, Marin casually fobbed Alexa off, intending to change the topic.
However, Alexa was quite smart.
"Or is this man my person? The people who can attract your attention will never be ordinary people."
"Ms. Duran, I suddenly realized that you are also so gossipy." Marin blinked.
"You want to get information from me, right?"
"It is also a kind of humanitarian concern to properly care about the emotional state of my cooperative
partner."
Marin did not care about her mighty words.
She only said, "Now everything is unknown. He is very innocent, but that is the difficulty."
"What do you mean?" Alexa was even more enthusiastic. "Are you rebuffed in the first encounter?"
"That won't be the case." Marin waved her hand. "It's just that he is very serious. He has never been in
a relationship. If I deliberately hook him, I will look like a bad woman."
Marin kept on chattering and did not notice that Alexa's gaze had become more subtle.
"I can't say anymore." Marin added, "You are too smart. If I continue, you will know his name."

"I don't have many male friends, but there are many good boys around Terrence."
Marin's attitude was very vague. After drinking half a cup of coffee, she found an excuse to leave.
When she drove away, Edwin just opened the door for Terrence.
They seemed to have something to talk about, and Alexa planned to go back to the room to pack up
first.
But she did not take a few steps before Terrence stopped her.
"What's the matter?"
"It's not me." Terrence looked at Edwin and said, "It's him."
After that, Terrence pulled Alexa to sit on the sofa.
Edwin stood respectfully in front of them, looking quite conflicted.
"Tell us about it." Terrence said with great interest, "Let my wife give you an immediate answer."
"Mrs. Ramsey." Edwin's ears were red. "I just want to ask you, if I go on a date with a girl, what gift
should I prepare?"
Alexa was stunned for a moment. She even suspected that she had hallucinations.
She thought, Edwin follows behind Terrence all day long and seems to have no desire. This is
shocking! He has a girl he likes now!
"What kind of girl is she?" Alexa asked seriously.
"She is very good. She is generous, gentle, and beautiful." Edwin smiled unconsciously. "We have met
twice."
"Edwin, are you planning to confess?"
"Not yet." He shook his head. "I don't know how she feels about me."
"What's her nickname for you?" Alexa asked casually.
"Nickname?"
"Yes." Alexa nodded, "From these details, we can see how she feels about you."
"So that explains it."
Edwin suddenly realized and quickly took out his notebook to write it down.
Looking at his appearance, Terrence felt a little speechless.
"Be smart, otherwise how can you get a girl's heart?" He said as if he were a relationship coach,
"Stupid boy."
Alexa stared at Terrence without a word.
Terrence pursed his lips and immediately closed his mouth.
