Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1083 Is It A Coincidence Or Not

How come I didn’t know?’ Cody thought to himself.

He was so lost in thought that he didn’t even notice that his palm had been slightly cut by the fragment of broken glass in his hand. He casually took a piece of tissue paper and wiped the blood off.

He kept his eyes fixed on Sally who had just appeared at the entrance.

Then he took a step forward, intending to get closer to her, but he was stopped by a weak and needy voice.

“Cody, my stomach hurts…”

Irene covered her stomach with one of her hands and grabbed Cody’s arm with the other. Her face was pretty pale.

“Really? You are really feeling bad at the perfect time,” Cody said ironically while gritting his teeth. However, when he caught a glimpse of the sweat caused by the pain on Irene’s forehead, he sighed and helped her get to the soft sofa nearby.

Meanwhile, as soon as Sally came in, she looked around and finally saw Cody, who was holding Irene in his arms.

Irene was leaning weakly on Cody’s shoulder and clinging to him. Anyone who saw them would think that they were an intimate couple.

The moment she saw them, Sally’s eyes filled up with a bit of dismay.

She thought that Irene was lying when she said that Cody was her boyfriend, but now, it seemed to her that she was actually telling the truth. She just didn’t want to believe it.

“Mr. An?”

“Hello! Mr. An!”

At that moment, two business partners of the AJ Group came one after the other and greeted Adonis.

Adonis patted Sally on the shoulder and left her alone. Then, he turned around to greet the two businessmen.

Sally waved her hand, signaling him to go. She recognized the two familiar faces as well, and she knew she should let Adonis talk to them.

But just as she was about to walk towards them, following Adonis, she saw Cody coming over to her. He was intently looking at her through the conversations and merrymaking in front of him.

There was undisguised shock, joy, and confusion in his sparkling dark-colored eyes. He approached her with a complicated look in his face.

But when they were just a few steps away from each other, someone suddenly came in between them.

“Sally, you are here!”

Oliver stepped in front of Sally, blocking her from Cody’s sight.

As she stared at Oliver, Sally suddenly remembered that if it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have known that there was a banquet tonight.

Oliver’s face was young and flamboyant, and was framed with thick eyebrows. When he smiled, the corners of his mouth curved up buoyantly. He was c

it gently.

“Oh, it hurts!” Sally cried out in pain. She was beginning to regret wearing such a pair of high heels, but the dress she wore today only looked good with heels.

Seeing how much pain she was in, Oliver reached out immediately intending to pick her up.

However, Sally stepped aside before he could touch her and limped to the rest area alone.

In case a fight would happen, neither of the two men should touch her right now.

After taking a few steps, she saw that Cody had come to help her. She then turned around and saw Oliver smiling brightly at her. He pointed ahead and then walked away.

Only then did Sally realize that the little boy had indeed grown up and become more calm and mature.

Cody wrapped his arm around her shoulders without uttering a single word. He let her lean on him to make her more comfortable.

After she sat down, Cody took off her shoes and rubbed her ankle. “It’s a little swollen. I’ll ask someone to find a first aid kit or ointment or something.”

“Cody!”

Sally grabbed his clothes and said, “I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about me. Go ahead and do your business.”

She heard that the businesses of the Qi family had been in turmoil in the past few years. His uncle had been trying to rob him of the shares of the company, and had caused a lot of trouble. Worse, Cody’s father had been in poor health for quite some time. He really was in a terrible circumstance right now.

This dinner party was held by the top business figures in JA City. It would be very helpful for him to know more of them.

“When did you come back?”

Cody asked in a deep voice, ignoring her words. He lowered his head and rubbed her slender ankle gently.
