Chapter 901 - Second breakfast (2/2)

Ellie smiled. ”If I remember correctly, I am invited.”

Jasper frowned. ”No, Ellie. Going there is asking for trouble.”

Ellie's smile widened. If Jasper knew that she wants to create trouble, he would probably try to prevent her from going even more. ”What trouble? It's Burr Ridge neighborhood. Good for business.”

Ellie saw that Jasper's frown is not easing up and decided to keep on pushing. ”Do you think that your father will make a scene in his own home in front of people? Or do you doubt that I can handle Lily?”

Jasper thought about it and had to agree that Norman will not do anything to disrupt the event at their home. He always worried about his image. But Lily might be a problem. She is crazy and unpredictable.

At the same time, Jasper does not want Ellie to think that he is hiding their relationship from anyone.

”Are you sure about Lily?”, Jasper asked reluctantly.

”Who is Lily?”, Brian could not contain his curiosity.

”She is interested in Jasper.”, Ellie explained without any details.

Brian pursed his lips. ”Socialite?” Based on how much Brian knows about Jasper, he knew that his guess can't be too far off from the truth.

Ellie responded with a playful smirk.

”I wish I can be there and see how you wipe the floor with her, my Queen.”, Brian mused. ”But I should stay here and help Tom lick his wounds.”

Ellie looked at Brian and laughed. ”Such an inappropriate analogy.”

Brian threw a half-eaten croissant at Ellie which she almost caught, but it bounced off from her palm.

”I didn't mean that I will lick him literally! Hmph!”, Brian protested.

”Don't throw the food away!” Ellie looked at the floor in the direction where croissant-projectile bounced off.

Brian made a face. ”I told you to get a dog. If you have one, the dog would eat it and there would be no wasted food.”

Ellie laughed. ”You are the one throwing food. You get a dog!”

”Really? If I get a dog I can bring it here?”, Brian's eyes sparkled.

”No.”, Ellie flatly responded. ”Dogs are not meant to exist for the sole purpose of eating your leftovers. And you are not disciplined enough to own one. Don't bring an animal in this house with an intention that my staff takes care of it.”

Jasper observed interaction between Ellie and Brian while thinking about the party that Ellie wants to go to. Sure, Norman will probably not make a scene, but he will not make Ellie feel welcome either. Even if Norman has nothing against Lily, he will make it hard on her just to spite Jasper because he refused to be friendly with Lily. And Lily might do something crazy, like push Ellie into the pool, or spill a drink on her, or who knows what… Also, his mother, Melissa will be there, and he still does not know what she thinks about all this: Jasper having a woman in his life, or however Norman and Lily framed it. Ugh… Norman and Lily. Neither of them probably said anything good.

He needs to stick close to Ellie and not leave her side. Because it seems that Ellie is really set on going there.
