    Chapter 360 The Inexplicable Man


    Lyra did not react. The waiter came to serve the dishes and interrupted the conversation between the


    two of them.


    Lyra smelled the fragrance of the food and thought about how to ease the awkward atmosphere. “A


    friend specially rmended this dish. Try some.”


    She wanted to be as casual as possible.


    But… why did the atmosphere get colder? She took a few bites and found that Hank did not move his


    chopsticks at all, and he was not satisfied.


    Lyra ate alone and also felt that the food was tasteless.


    After thinking for a while, she was still not sure how she had made him unhappy. “The dishes are not to


    your liking?” She muttered. Hank tightened his grip on his coffee cup. Just as he was about to take out


    the bracelet from his pocket, a person walked over.


    The figure came to Lyra’s side and stopped. “Miss Jones, what a coincidence.” A gentle but gloomy


    voice sounded. Xuanze greeted Lyra at first, then looked at Hank and nodded slightly. “Mr. Barnwell is


    also here.”


    Also there?


    The bottom of Hank’s eyes was already cold, obviously showing hostility. As if he did not notice,


    Xuanze smiled and said, “I have an appointment upstairs. See you guys around.” So, he had specially


    at all. She only thought that he was unhappy because of business matters, or that the Barnwell group


    would havepetition with Yuanpeng Group in the future.


    After all, Hank was a workaholic. Other than business, he did not care about anything else.


    “Okay, Mr. Evans.” Hearing the way Lyra addressed Xuanze, Hank had no appetite at all. They were


    really special to each other.


    Lyra even got up to send him to the stairs. By the time she returned, Hank had already put away his


    phone. He put his hand in his pocket and stared straight at her. That kind of gaze made people very


    ufortable. “Mr. Barnwell, if you think…” Lyra frowned. “What did you call me?” “Huh?” Before Lyra


    could finish, he interrupted her. Hearing his words, she responded, “Mr. Barnwell?” The man’s face


    turned cold.


    “I still have a meeting. I’ll be leaving first.”


    He got up and left with no hesitation. Lyra felt as if an extremely cold wind had swept past her. She


    ground her teeth in anger. She always knew that she could not be too humble. This was great. She had


    been abandoned here for no reason. “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have ordered so much.” When


    could this man’s temperamental personality change? Before the rest of the dishes were served, Lyra


    ordered all of them to be packed, and then walked out of the restaurant alone with a pile of lunch


    boxes. On the road far away, the man had been looking at her. The weather was getting cold. Lyra took


    a few steps and shivered. “I should take a taxi.”


    She took out her phone and asked for a car. She stood by the roadside and waited. Hank sat in the car


    and was talking to Jasper on the phone. “Yes, she just came out and is alone.”


    On the other side, Jasper was speechless. “Hank, there’s no reason for you to be jealous. No matter


    how outstanding Xuanze is, he is divorced after all, and he still has a child. Even if Lyra doesn’t choose


    you, she won’t rush to be someone else’s stepmother!”


    Hank’s eyes darkened. If she really wanted to raise a child, then Xuanze was really the best choice.


    He now remembered what the doctor said to him when Lyra had an ident. Because of the


    miscarriage injury, perhaps she would never be a mother in this life.


    “Don’t push her too hard. You know her personality.” Hank watched as Lyra got into the taxi and slowly


    put down his phone. He reached into his pocket and rubbed the box with the bracelet. There was a


    bitter smile on his lips. He didn’t know what was wrong with him tonight.


    Deep in the night, he went home alone. Sister Zhang had gone back to her hometown to deal with

    Uncle Zhang’s property and belongings. The whole vi gave people a depressing cold feeling. Even if


    the lights were turned on, there was no feeling of home. There was a lonely atmosphere everywhere.


    He dragged his feet forward a few steps, his mind full of the expression of Lyra who looked at Xuanze.


    What was wrong with him? Just jealous? No, he was also very clear about how far the gap between


    Lyra and Xuanze was. But when he thought that she might treat a man like she used to treat him, the


    anger in Hank’s chest could not be suppressed.


    But…


    Maybe not long in the future, there would be a day. The man lowered his head, opened the bottle of


    wine, and drank it in one gulp.


    Dong


    Someone knocked on the door. He walked over, but for some reason, his hand just touched the door


    handle and he fell down.


    In the morning, Hank woke up andy on his bed. There was hot porridge and cakes on the bedside


    table, and the taste was a little familiar. “Sister Zhang?” he shouted subconsciously. “You’re awake!”


    Jasper heard the voice and rushed in. Seeing that he was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Why were


    you drinking so much at home? If not…” He swallowed his words halfway. “How do you feel? Why don’t


    you sleep a little longer?” “I’m fine,” said Hank, pressing his forehead. He still had a business trip today,


    so he got up and walked into the bathroom. Jasper took the opportunity to go downstairs and quickly


    walked out of the vi courtyard. He walked to the car parked at the opposite corner and knocked on


    the car window.


    “He’s already awake. He should be fine. I’ll get the doctor toe and check again. Thank you very


    much for yesterday.” Lyra had also stayed up the whole night and was about to leave. “That’s good. I’ll


    be leaving first.” She smiled bitterly.


    Last night, after thinking about it, she wanted to express her gratitude to him again. So, she came to


    the Barnwell family with the packed dishes. She originally thought that Sister Zhang was at home so


    she could put down the dishes and leave. Unexpectedly, it was Hank who opened the door. He did not


    even have the time to see her clearly before he fainted. Lyra could not do anything to him alone, so she


    asked Jasper toe over, but she seriously asked Jasper not to tell Hank about her visit.


    Although Jasper had considered secretly telling Hank, thinking of his impulsive appearance yesterday,


    Jasper, as his best friend, hesitated. Perhaps, Hank really had to take a good rest. Both physically and


    mentally.


    Jasper watched Lyra leave. He turned around and saw the figure standing at the gate. “When did


    you…” Hank’s face was pale, and he asked in a low voice, “Who is that?” Jasper had no choice but to


    tell him everything. Unexpectedly, Hank was even more disappointed, “She is in a hurry to draw a clear


    line with me and is not willing to owe me anything.” He just wanted to ease their rtionship and give


    each other another chance. Why was it so difficult?


    This time, Jasper only shook his head helplessly. “I think you should calm down first. You can’t solve all


    things in a day or two.” Hank hesitated for a long time and slowly said, “I can’t calm down.”
