Chapter 684

Alice quickly took off her apron and went out to welcome them in utter delight. While leading them to
the living room with a smile, she said, “Finally, you‘re here! I‘ve been waiting for you for quite some time
already. Come, have a seat. I just finished preparing the dinner.”

Then, Ava’s voice sounded. “Why trouble yourself by doing so much? Hell, you even cook for us.”

“It’s not troublesome.” Alice quickly replied as she wiped her hands dry. When her gaze fell on the
woman standing beside Ava, she instantly uttered, “You must be Queenie. Wow, you’re even beautiful
in real life than in the photo! I’d even carried you in my arms when you were young before.”

Queenie gave Alice a stiff smile before lowering her gaze and greeting, “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Baxter.”

“Quick, sit down.” Upon seeing Donovan, Alice urged, “Don, come over and pour Ms. Mill a cup of tea.”

Queenie trailed Alice’s gaze to see a handsome man in a white suit. He had an unconcealable aura as
his dark eyes shone profoundly.

She held her breath for approximately two seconds, yet she recollected herself soon after.

He’s undoubtedly handsome. However, he isn’t a match for Vinson at all.

Indeed, after meeting someone as excellent as Vinson, how could an ordinary man pique her interest?

Donovan greeted her first, “Hi, Ms. Mill. What tea would you like to have?”

“I’m fine with anything.” Queenie smiled.

She wasn’t an idiot to reject a suitor straightaway even if she didn’t like him. After all, it was never a
bad thing to have another subordinate like Zachary.

Unfortunately, Zachary was too dumb that he got caught by Carter.



Oblivious to her, Donovan had something in his mind as well.

It had been quite some time since he slept with a woman, so he needed some release recently.
Moreover, he wasn’t disgusted with the woman in front of him.

Queenie looked beautiful and vibrant. At the same time, her eyes were tranquil and calm, just like
Arielle’s.

That similarity managed to cease his resistance toward the blind date.

Despite that, Queenie was only a woman who could ease his urge, as he had no plan to get married
any time soon,

Sensing the harmonious atmosphere between the two youngsters, their mothers exchanged glances
and smiled heartwarmingly

Ava then said intentionally, “Do you have ketchup? I like it so much that I have to eat whatever dishes
with it.”

Alice understood instantly. “Don, you can pour the tea later. Go to the hypermarket to buy branded
ketchup for Mrs. Mill first.”

Ava chimed in, “Queenie, go with him and buy some fruits. Mrs. Baxter had prepared us a table of
delicious meals, so it’s impolite for us to visit empty-handed.”

Despite realizing their intention to create an opportunity for them to bond with each other, Queenie
chose to act dumb as she nodded and said, “We come here by car, so I’ll drive us there.”

“All right.” Donovan nodded and walked in the front, leading the way.

Alice and Ava, on the other hand, sent them away joyfully.



With that, Donovan and Queenie headed to the only hypermarket nearby, the one near Jadeborough
University.

In the meantime, Arielle decided to invite Trisha, Jared, and Henry to have a meal together at her
house.

After sending a message to Vinson, telling him not to come back first, she went to the hypermarket
near the university with the three of them to buy the ingredients.

Once they arrived at the market, Arielle spoke to Trisha. “Trish, you guys can go ahead and choose the
fruits and drinks you like. I’ll go to the vegetable section instead.”
