Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 187 187: Who is Jedrick?

The sound of cutlery filled the dining area as Jonathan and Eveline ate their dinner.

After a long silence, Eveline decided to pull out the envelope and hand it to Jonathan.

"What is this?" he questioned, picking up the brown object and opening it to see inside.

Jonathan frowned at the invitation card and opened it to read it, unaware of Eveline's piercing eyes on him from the side.

"You have an invitation from some Jedrick," her words paused him in his seat, and his gaze scanned the complete context of the offer.

Eveline read it, which surprised Jonathan because he hadn't anticipated her doing so. Now that she has, though, would she ask him what word is mentioned the most in it?

"Who is this Jedrick, and why did he mention brother in the invitation?" Eveline asked, her demeanor serene and discreet.

She remembered that her father was his parents' only child, so who was Jederick to call him his brother?

Jonathan fumbled through his thoughts as he glanced at Eveline with a ghostly white expression.

"It must be a typing mistake," Jonathan mumbled as he quickly slipped the card into the envelope and resumed eating.

"Dad, the invitation was sent handwritten. How could there be a printing mistake?" She asked, her look serious as she saw her father lying just in front of her.

Eveline's attention would not have sparked if the invitation hadn't been handwritten. It just means that the individual composed it on purpose with the intention of sending it to him.

Jonathan paused his meal to meet Eveline's persistent gaze. He had no clue his daughter would catch up on his comments so quickly, and now his mistake has caused her to stare at him with curiosity.

"Oh, this is handwritten. That is very thoughtful of Jedrick. Um, actually, Jedrick is an old friend, which is why he called me brother," Jonathan said hesitantly.

Eveline saw her father smile, but it was not genuine. But, if her father did not want her to know anything, she should not compel him.

If he says the invitation was given by an old buddy, he might not be lying.

Jonathan closely watched Eveline before she nodded in agreement.

"It's great to see people still penning personal invitations for their pals. I assume he's a good friend. But why haven't I heard of it before? She asked.

Jonathan sighed a sigh of relief and looked away, saying, "He doesn't stay in this country"

Eveline nodded and resumed her meal.
