Chapter 452
Wynn and Jorge didn’t ask about how Kieran and Caleb knew each other.
At that moment, Wynn said, “Since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we have a meal together?” 75
As soon as she finished speaking, Jorge was just about to agree, but Kieran spoke first..
“No, I’ve got things to take care of. Maybe next time.”
Right after Kieran spoke, Caleb also said, “I’ve got plans as well. It’s not convenient—maybe next time.”
Jorge had come with Caleb. He didn’t expect Caleb to say that.
Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment and could only echo, “Yeah, next time then.”
Wynn paid quite a bit of attention to Jorge. Noticing the change in his expression, she immediately realized that Caleb’s excuse about having plans was just a cover.
Most likely, he simply didn’t want to have a meal with her. 2
Thinking about that, she also realized that Caleb had always been rather indifferent toward her–not exactly cold, but certainly not warm either. 5
Realizing this, she gave a slightly awkward smile and said, “In that case, next time, then.” 1
Caleb gave a polite nod, patted Jorge on the shoulder, and left first.
As for Kieran, he had already sat back down, picked up his phone, and stopped acknowledging Wynn altogether.
His rejection didn’t come as a surprise to her.
But in the past, even when Kieran acted indifferent, he still couldn’t help secretly glancing at her or paying attention. 3
Now, though…
Once he said what he had to say, it was as if he really didn’t care about her anymore.
Wynn’s brow furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly, but she quickly composed herself and said gently, “Since you’re clear on things, I won’t say more. But your parents are really worried about you. If you have time, give them a call now and then.” 3
With that, she said no more and turned to leave.
The Locket family and the Shaw family all knew Jorge and Caleb.
Seeing Wynn talking to them, they observed from afar and didn’t go over to interrupt.
When Wynn returned, Patricia said, “Other than Kieran, the other two young men are the son of Mr. Robinson and the grandson of Mr. Jennings Senior, right?
“They’re all distinguished sons of prominent families in Baumond and highly capable too. They’re outstanding young men.
“Especially Mr. Jennings Senior’s grandson–he doesn’t appear in public often. Why didn’t you chat with them a bit longer?”
Wynn had just sat down when Lennox chimed in, “That’s right, Wynn. Whether it’s Kieran, Mr. Robinson, or Mr. Jennings, they’re all excellent in every way.

“Your two younger cousins aren’t seeing anyone yet–if there’s someone suitable, keep an eye out for Janet and Linda.”
Ruby quickly agreed, “Yes, exactly!”
Before Wynn could respond, Janet quietly said, “But both Mr. Gibson and Mr. Robinson are totally devoted to Wynn… Wouldn’t it be kind of inappropriate to introduce them to us?” 3
Lennox shot her daughter a disappointed look and said, “What’s the problem with that? Feelings can be cultivated.
“They may like Wynn now, but if she actively helps connect you with them, who’s to say something couldn’t develop? You won’t know unless you try.”
Janet fell silent. 7
Then Wynn finally spoke, “I don’t have much contact with them at the moment, so I wouldn’t dare presume to make any introductions.”
“That’s fine. If there’s any banquet in the future that Mr. Gibson or Mr. Jennings are attending, just bring Janet or Linda along.” 13
