My Aloof Husband, Mr. Drexler, Dotes Me Excessively-Chapter 88: Can’t Stand Another Second Here!

"Of course, if it’s inconvenient for you, that’s okay too. You’re a big star now, and I understand the inconveniences you might face," Mr. Lockwood said without pressuring her.

After hearing Mr. Lockwood’s words, Summer Shawcross agreed immediately.

"I have time tonight, I’ll head over now."

Mr. Lockwood had always treated her like a daughter and helped her whenever he could; she had no reason to refuse him.

In her past life’s failed existence, there weren’t many people like Mr. Lockwood who treated her well. On the contrary, there were many bad people like Dustin Hughes and Melanie Trueman who deceived and harmed her.

"That’s wonderful. Should I arrange for someone to pick you up?" Mr. Lockwood smiled contentedly when she agreed.

"No need, I’ll head over now," Summer said, pursing her lips.

She didn’t want to wait here for someone to pick her up, because she didn’t want to stay in this godforsaken place for another second!

Seeing her insist, Mr. Lockwood didn’t press her further. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After ending the call with Mr. Lockwood, Summer tossed aside the suitcase in her hand, randomly grabbed a bag, stuffed some cash, cards, and her phone inside, and left in a huff.

...

Summer didn’t ask the family driver to take her to the bar; instead, she had him stop the car on a bustling shopping street where it was easy to catch a taxi, and she took a taxi to the bar.

By the time she arrived at the bar, the sky had just darkened; it was dinner time.

Summer had just walked in when she heard a familiar and friendly voice.

"Summer, you’re finally here." Mr. Lockwood walked over with a smile on his face.

Summer paused for a moment, then made an effort to set aside her thoughts about Noah Drexler and smiled.

"I hope I’m not late."

"Of course not, you’re right on time. We were just about to start dinner. Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is my son; he just got back from abroad and is planning to take over the management of this hotel," Mr. Lockwood said, gesturing at a young man standing quietly beside him.

Upon hearing this, Summer instinctively turned to glance at the man.

The boy’s skin was fair and clean, giving off a good first impression.

"Hello, I’m Shawn Lockwood. I’ve heard your music, and I really like it—it’s very beautiful," the boy said warmly, greeting her.

"Hello..." Summer also smiled politely.

"Shawn will be staying in Narsus City for his career development from now on. You two are around the same age, so you should have a lot to talk about. You can meet more often," Mrs. Lockwood added with a smile.

"It’s about time. Let’s go inside; everyone is waiting," Mr. Lockwood said with a smile, gesturing for Summer to enter.

Summer nodded and followed their family into the bar.

The bar wasn’t open to the public today. The entire hall was set up for a gathering, with a long table in the center adorned with lavish dishes.

Not many people were present tonight; besides a few veteran staff members from the bar and the Lockwood family, it was just Summer.

It felt less like the "business commemoration event" Mr. Lockwood mentioned, and more like a family gathering.

"Miss Shawcross, please have a seat!" Shawn Lockwood courteously pulled out a chair for Summer.

Summer nodded politely and sat down.

Shawn then took the seat next to her.

...

The Hillside Villa.

The black sedan hadn’t come to a complete stop before the door was opened.

Noah Drexler stepped out of the car and strode towards the villa with his long legs.
