Chapter 625
Melanie looked at her coldly. “We’re not familiar with each other.”
Bianca smiled. “It’s okay if we’re not familiar now. We’ll get to know each other in the future. Who knows, you might even end up calling me Mom someday.”
Melanie’s face instantly darkened, her gaze piercing as she stared at Bianca.
Despite her young age, Bianca exuded an indifferent air. She continued to smile and say, “Just kidding. Don’t mind me.”
After she said that, she noticed the man walking over from behind Melanie, and her expression changed. “Oh, Mr. Carter, why did you come so late? We’ve been waiting for you here for so long,” she said sweetly.
Melanie’s complexion did not change even when the food was served.
Yvette coughed twice. “That young lady sure is a force to be reckoned with.”
Melanie said nothing, but her mood was sour. Since Bianca was here, Howard should also be around.
She did not have much of an appetite. Being the perceptive person that she was, Yvette noticed this and suggested, “How about we go to another restaurant? The food here doesn’t taste too good.”
Melanie did not force herself to stay and agreed with her suggestion. “My treat.”
This restaurant specialized in private dining. In addition to the tables in the main hall, there were also many private rooms.
After Bianca warmly welcomed Tobias back to the private room, she obediently sat next to Howard. She acted as if the person who had just been clinging to Tobias was not her.
Tobias‘ gaze kept shifting to her. “Ms. Bianca, you’re becoming more and more beautiful by the day. Mr. Smith, you’re really lucky to have such a beauty by your side.”
Bianca pretended to blush shyly. “Mr. Carter, what are you saying? How am I pretty? Howard’s daughter is the beautiful one.”
“Oh?” Tobias‘ interest was piqued, and he looked curiously at Howard. “Why have I never heard about you having a daughter, Mr. Smith?”
“She was the one standing beside me just now. She was wearing a white shirt. She’s tall, fair, and has a great figure,” Bianca said.
Tobias recalled Melanie and slapped his thigh excitedly. “Mr. Smith, you’ve certainly been keeping her well under wraps. I never knew you had such a beautiful daughter.”
Howard frowned and gave Bianca a stern look, expressing some displeasure. He seemed to be blaming her for being too talkative. However, since Tobias was already seated in front of him, he could not say much–especially since he still needed the man’s help.

Tobias smiled. “You must treasure her very much, seeing how you’ve been keeping her hidden all these years.”
Howard’s heart sank. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head and said, “Mr. Carter, what are you saying? I didn’t even know she was here today. Let me go and call her over so you can meet her.”
Melanie and Yvette had decided to change to another restaurant. Yvette found a highly–rated restaurant not far from there on her phone.
Just as they were about to pay the bill, they looked up and saw Howard standing outside the private
room
He looked particularly refined today, dressed in a shirt and trousers with a pair of gold–framed glasses resting on his nose.
Melanie’s brows furrowed. She looked at him coldly but did not say anything.
