Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 401

Chapter 401 Is the Lawyer With a Silver Tongue a Limerence?

The driver seemed to be a conversationalist. He looked happy when he saw how pretty Yelena was. "Oh, dear. How can you not have a boyfriend when you look so beautiful? I'm afraid my son isn't worthy of being your boyfriend."

"It's fine. Just give me his Instagram, and I will do the rest!" Yelena wasn't afraid of being scammed. As she spoke, she took out her phone and got the Instagram handle from the driver. However, as soon as the man, whose profile was a fluffy cat, accepted her friend request, she began having second thoughts.

"What's the matter? Are you scared now?" Elspeth sat in the backseat and watched with amusement when she saw the stiff expression on Yelena's face.

"No, I'm not! I'll accept it right away!" Then, she accepted the man's request without hesitation.

The man seemed to be a reserved person and was careful with his words. 'Hello.' He sent a text to her.

At that moment, even someone as talkative as Yelena didn't know how to respond. Then, she sent a smiley emoji and wrote, 'Hi.'

The man seemed to have been quiet for a while before sending her a selfie. In the picture, the man was holding a cat while smiling. It showed one side of his face, revealing his high nose, red lips, and sparkling eyes.

'My dad just told me you are my blind date, so you should send me a picture too.'

A blind date? That escalated quickly, thought Yelena. Although the man looked handsome, she felt that things were going too fast.

'Don't you think this is going too fast? After all, we just met,' she wrote. Moreover, she accepted the man's friend request just for fun. However, his texts made her feel like she was preparing for a date.

'No, it isn't. This is how a blind date works. Have you never been on one before?'

Looking at his text, Yelena fell silent.

After some time, Elspeth waved at the driver to stop the car. As they got off the cab, the man was persistent. When he saw that Yelena had not replied to him, he sent her a question mark.

'It's nothing. I am just flabbergasted.'

'I'm waiting for your selfie,' the man asked again, seemingly interested to know how she looked.

When Elspeth saw how persistent the man was, she despised him and said to Yelena, "I bet the photo he sent you is fake. He must be a pervert who likes collecting photos of others."

If that is indeed the case, he's simply disgusting. Yelena shuddered at the thought. Immediately, she opened her camera and took a photo of her looking at a 45-degree angle. When she sent the ugliest photo she had ever taken herself to the man, she imagined him being disgusted and blocking her number.

However, she was not prepared for his response. 'You look adorable,' he wrote in the message.

Adorable? Is he out of his mind? Yelena couldn't believe what she was seeing. 'Are you blind or something?' she wrote.

The man seemed to be speechless by her words. After some time, he replied, 'The place you are in right now looks familiar. Are you at Luna Bar?'

When Yelena saw his text, she didn't know what he was talking about and looked at the sign behind her. 'Yes. I'm at Luna Bar.'

Besides her, Elspeth saw her reply and rubbed her nose awkwardly. "I brought you here since you are in a bad mood, so I thought you could drink your problems away. Perhaps you'd feel better. I like drinking at this place whenever I'm in a bad mood," she explained.

'Why don't you turn around?' The man sent another message.

Elspeth was startled when she saw it.

At that moment, Yelena turned around and saw a tall figure standing under the lamppost. In that split second, she was embarrassed and thought, Is he the man in the picture?

Seeing that she was dumbfounded, the man approached her. Only when he stood before her did Yelena snap out of her trance. "Turns out you're not a sleazy guy who uses a fake photo," she said subconsciously.

A sleazy guy who uses a fake photo? Hank was baffled by her words. Then, he looked at her and asked threateningly, "What do you mean by that?"

At that moment, Yelena realized she had misspoken. "No, no. That's not what I meant. It was a slip of a tongue," she said hastily.

"Well, indeed it was," he replied.

At that, she chuckled dryly.

On the other hand, Elspeth took the initiative and got Yelena out of the sticky situation when she realized the latter was in trouble. "What's your name?" she asked Hank.

"I'm Hank Damazio," Hank replied with a smile.

Hank Damazio? He sounds familiar, thought Elspeth. Then, she suddenly remembered that he was a famous lawyer with a silver tongue. Apparently, he never made a single mistake during cases, and those who asked for his help won their lawsuits without fail.

"Mr. Damazio, it seems that you live up to your name." After all, Elspeth felt he had his ways with words and was fooling Yelena.

Since both Elspeth and Hank were intelligent people, they could tell what each other was thinking at first glance. Hence, Hank didn't miss out on the contempt in her eyes. However, he wasn't mad about it and continued to smile.

As Yelena was busy shooting movies, she knew nothing about Hank's identity. Hence, it was only natural that she did not know who he was. "What are you guys talking about?" she asked in confusion.

Looking at her, Elspeth decided not to tell her about it. "It's nothing. The Damazio Family is quite famous. You can look them up when you are free."

It was rumored that the Damazios were all people who worked as politicians or lawyers.

When Yelena heard her words, she nodded thoughtfully. "If that is so, why is your father a cab driver?" she asked Hank.

As expected from her, Yelena's thought process was different from others.

At that moment, Hank's smile stiffened. "I don't know either. It's a hobby of Father's…"

Yelena smiled upon hearing him and said, "Don't worry. Since we know each other now, we are good friends. Say, do you want to join us for a drink? We are celebrating my breakup today."

A glint flashed across Hank's eyes. "Really? Did you break up with the young master of the Winthrop Family?"

At that moment, Yelena recalled that the engagement between her and Max had caused quite a stir. Thinking about it, she was flustered and said, "Yes. We have broken up."

"Don't worry. You deserve better." Hank ruffled her hair. Since he was a tall man, he could easily touch the top of her head.

Yelena wasn't used to the closeness between them and took a few steps back. "Alright, now. Let's stop talking and start drinking." Then, she pulled Elspeth, who was looking at Hank warily, into the bar.

As Hank looked at her walking away frantically, he smiled brightly. Initially, he received a text from his father, telling him that a woman who looked similar to Yelena, the celebrity, had asked him to introduce Hank to her. At that moment, Hank's heart skipped a beat, and he asked his father to give her his number.

When the girl accepted his friend request, he bugged her into sending a selfie. Although the picture she sent was bizarre, Hank could still tell at first glance that she was Yelena, the woman he had longed for. Never did he expect that she had broken up with Max. At that moment, he swore to himself that he would not let her escape!
