Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Waiting for Brother to Come Back
The little girl sat next to Ann Nolan, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
It was then that Jasmine Yale took a good look at Harlow Mackenzie.
He seemed even more handsome up close.
Deep-set eyes, a high and straight nose, thin cool lips.
At the dinner table, Harlow barely spoke, silently eating his meal. He sat quite far away from Xandra Mackenzie.
Xandra, on the other hand, was chatty and more cheerful than Harlow.
Professor Mackenzie and his wife seemed to prefer chatting with Xandra, not paying much attention to their own son.
“Jasmine, is the food to your taste?” the professor’s wife kindly asked.
Jasmine Yale hastily nodded: “It’s delicious, your cooking is excellent.”
The professor’s wife had cooked the meal herself to serve them.
“Jasmine, do you have a boyfriend? If not, may I introduce you to a young man?” The professor’s wife spoke enthusiastically.
Professor Mackenzie shot her a look, “Sort out our son’s affairs before worrying about others.”
Harlow’s brows tightened, he remained silent.
Jasmine politely declined, “I’m quite busy with work and my studies, I don’t plan to date for now.”
“That’s alright, you should visit us more often. Xandra just told me how much she likes you.”, his wife said.
“Of course.”
After talking to Jasmine Yale, the professor’s wife turned her attention to her son.
“Harlow, when are you leaving to go abroad?”
“It depends.”
Harlow’s voice was flat and emotionless, his expression unreadable.
As he spoke, Jasmine noticed that Xandra was watching him intently.
The young girl’s thoughts were written in her bright eyes, sparkling with endless brilliance and charm, as breathtaking as a star.
The professor’s wife pleaded, “Stay a few more days. The whole family misses you, especially Xandra, who’s been looking forward to your return.”
Harlow suddenly looked up, his icy gaze swept over Xandra’s face.
Xandra was panic-stricken, she instantly looked away, her heart pounding like a frightened deer.
“Work is busy.” Harlow averted his eyes and answered flatly.
“How busy could you be?” Professor Mackenzie glanced at him, apparently displeased.
“Isn’t it nice to have Xandra with you all?” Harlow’s tone was indifferent.
“The best thing is when the whole family is together.” The professor’s wife said, shaking her head, “You’ve been like this since you were a child, rebellious.”
Harlow said nothing further and silently continued eating his meal.
Seeing that there is no way to communicate with Harlow, the professor’s wife went back to chatting with the girls.
As they chatted, she laughed and said, “Girls are always better and considerate. My son is so unappreciative.”
Throughout the meal, Harlow hardly said anything, his lazy demeanor revealing an air of indifference.
After the meal, the family sat on the sofa, chatting casually.
The professor’s wife especially liked Ann Nolan and Jasmine Yale, and she chatted with them a lot.
“The Mackenzie family hasn’t been this lively in a long time.” the professor’s wife laughed, “Please visit us more frequently in the future.”
“Of course.” Ann Nolan nodded, “I’ll visit when I have free time from work. Professor Mackenzie has always been very caring since I was in college.”
As they were talking, the professor’s wife turned her attention to Harlow, who was about to go upstairs.
“Harlow, do you have a girlfriend abroad? You rarely call us, your father and I know nothing.” the professor’s wife looked helpless.
Their son had grown up, increasingly stubborn and unruly.
Harlow paused, silence filled his eyes.
For some reason, Jasmine subconsciously looked at Xandra, who was shelling pistachios. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
“Hmm.” Harlow responded indifferently and continued up the stairs.
“‘Hmm’ what does that mean? Harlow, come back down here!”
