CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 428: RESOLVING WORRIES FOR THE WIFE

Subsequently, Colby Valentine gave an address, asking in return: "Alright, I’ll be there in half an hour."

"Okay, I’ll wait for you."

Colby Valentine arranged to meet Lin Mubai at a coffee shop next to the hotel where he was staying.

By the time Lin Mubai arrived, the other party was already waiting inside.

"Mr. Colby Valentine, sorry to keep you waiting."

The other party did not respond, only lifted his blue eyes and fixed them on Lin Mubai’s face. Even someone like Lin Mubai, accustomed to being stared at, found it unsettling after a while. So he took the initiative to call out again: "Mr. Colby Valentine."

"Hmm, sit down." Colby Valentine, with an indifferent, emotionless demeanor, was undoubtedly unfamiliar to Jesse, yet he was willing to face him like this, though he never had that opportunity.

Just as Lin Mubai sat down, the clerk quickly approached to ask what the two wished to order. This time, the preferences of the two adults were the same; both ordered Blue Mountain coffee. The clerk soon brought the coffee over, and the two handsome men sat facing each other, as if neither intended to break the silence first.

Ultimately, it was Colby Valentine who couldn’t hold it in. He took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Lin..."

Before he could finish, Lin Mubai interrupted him indifferently. As a well-mannered gentleman, he shouldn’t have interrupted, but today’s schedule was undoubtedly packed, and he had no time to waste here. The reason he agreed to meet was simple: he wanted to remove all worries for his wife, not wishing to see the little woman furrow her brows.

"Mr. Colby Valentine, let’s not beat around the bush. Just say what you have to say."

Being interrupted, Colby Valentine was slightly taken aback. The curve of his lips grew ever colder. After contemplating for a moment, he continued to speak, recounting a past story: "I became famous early in my youth, naturally feeling a bit arrogant and dismissive of others. When I met Anna, I was twenty-eight. I was first intrigued by the disdainful look from an Eastern girl, then captivated by her piano playing. From then on, my only thought was to become her teacher. However, she disdainfully told me she wanted to be a pilot, not a pianist. Of course, I didn’t give up, but I never expected this tenacity would last for so many years."

At this point, Colby Valentine paused, quietly observing the reaction of the man in front of him.

Lin Mubai’s face remained calm, betraying no emotion, as he understood the man had more to say, and did not interrupt.

Colby Valentine then continued: "I came to you today to ask you to persuade Anna."

At this, Lin Mubai finally interrupted him: "Mr. Colby Valentine, I believe you’re aware of how stubborn Anna is. She refused you many years ago, and she surely remains just as determined now. In this respect, I have no way of persuading her."
