Chapter 240: Read the Headline Part 1

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Since he had met Sophia on the street, Twain's outing today naturally gained a purpose: he would introduce Dunn to Sophia and invite them to dinner.

”I really didn't expect to meet you here, Mr. Twain.” Sitting at the dinner table while waiting for their food, Sophia spoke with barely concealed excitement.

”Me neither, ma'am.” Compared to Sophia, Twain was obviously more restrained as he replied with a smile, ”I've been busy with too many things with too little time. I'm sorry I haven't visited you.”

”Don't be sorry, Mr. Twain. I've heard from George. He always tells me about what's going within the team now.”

Sitting next to them, Wood gave a cough and Sophia laughed. Twain laughed too when he saw Wood looking uncomfortable. He finally had caught a hidden side of Wood!

”This is Dunn, my Chinese friend.” Twain introduced Dunn to Sophia. ”He's... well, a little shy.”

Dunn did not mind Twain's comment about him. He just nodded politely at Sophia. ”Hello, ma'am. It's a pleasure to meet you.”

”Hello, Mr. Dunn. Glad to meet you, too.” Sophia returned.

Twain had been secretly observing Dunn's expression after seeing Sophia, and was disappointed with his response. Seeing how indifferent Dunn was to this beautiful woman, Tang En wondered if he was playing for the other team.

Then Twain and Sophia were conversing happily while Wood and Dunn sat in silence next to them.

The two of them talked about a wide range of topics, starting with their daily lives. Later, when Twain saw how quiet Wood was, he tried to pull him into the conversation by leading the topic of conversation towards the team. Sure enough, Wood had to join the conversation because his mother would always ask him, ”Is that true, George?”

Then Twain also pulled Dunn into the conversation by beginning with his trip to China in the summer and then talking about the China as a whole. Dunn had no choice but to be part of the conversation. No matter how reticent he normally was, he could not ignore the queries of a lady.

From hearing Dunn answer Sophia's questions, Twain could tell that he had really made an effort to understand the unfamiliar country while he was in China. It seemed that he truly intended to live in China for the rest of his life and be the Chinese Tang En.

But who could predict fate?

If Tang En himself had not missed his parents in China and made that trip, perhaps their futures would not have intersected at all. And he, as Tony Twain, would continue to be a professional football manager, maybe accomplishing great things, maybe not. And he, Dunn, would have had a warm home and would have peacefully become an ordinary Chinese man, busying himself with his daily livelihood.

When he thought about it, it didn't seem too bad.

But Tang En had changed Dunn's life; he had changed it twice. If he had not run into Dunn, nothing would have changed. But as it happened, they did meet after all.

Watching Dunn, unable to refuse Sophia's request, using a knife and fork to demonstrate to her the use of chopsticks, Tang En thought that the way they were now was not too nice…

After lunch, despite some reluctance, Sophia had to say goodbye to Twain. After all, she was still in recovery and needed to pay attention to her health. Because of her excitement in meeting Twain, her breathing had quickened a little.

After saying goodbye to Twain, Sophia turned to Dunn and smiled at him. ”I've always felt that Mr. Twain must be very lonely living alone. But now, with Mr. Dunn around... you two both like football so much, you must have endless things to talk when you're together.”
