Missing Mrs. Lowry: The Billionaire’s Wakeup Call
Chapter 174

Chapter 174 

Mrs. Lambert nodded in agreement. Turning to the waiter, she su, “That’ll be all for now! And another guest will be joining us shortly, you can go ahead and bring the dishes out.” 

The waiter nodded and left. 

Once they were alone, Mrs. Lambert leaned in for some gossip. “On my way here, I overheard Mr. Lambert on the phone. Timothy’s been causing a stir over your friend, spending his engagement night at the club. with a bunch of reality TV stars, Gabriel is livid!” 

She sighed softly, “Men are all the same, aren’t they? All over you one moment, and then, a couple of months later, they barely remember your name. Better to rely on the money in your hand than a man.” 

Megan felt a pang in her heart. 

She thought of Lucia’s lost hearing, of her sitting through the night in agony, all for a mere 50 million. 

Mrs. Lambert saw the look on her face and changed the subject. 

The waiter returned with a platter of dishes, lightening the mood. Mrs. Lambert and Megan chatted about 

this and that. 

Then, from outside, a voice called, “Mr. Lowry, right this way, to private room 2201.” 

Mr. Lowry… 

Megan was momentarily stunned. 

The door then opened, and who should be standing there but Sullivan? He ducked slightly to enter, unbuttoning his coat with a grace that caught even Mrs. Lambert’s eye. “Sorry, traffic was a nightmare. 

His every 

is every move was a pleasure to watch. 

Even Mrs. Lambert, at her age, couldn’t help but take a few extra moments to appreciate him. “Not a problem at all! I was just chatting with Mrs. Lowry.” 

Sullivan took a seat next to Megan, turning to look at her. 

She must have dressed up specially, in a champagne silk blouse and a matching mermaid skirt that flaunted her figure and femininity. 

Perhaps it was his intense gaze, Megan uncomfortably flicked her hair and then found a slice of salmon added to her plate. Sullivan watched her intently, his voice soft, “You look beautiful. Is that new?” 

Megan was speechless. 

Mrs. Lambert smiled like she was basking in spring sunshine. “Ah, to be young and in love!” 

Sullivan was all charm. “You flatter us, Mrs. Lambert.” 

He came from a good family and had a knack for making everyone feel at ease. Mrs. Lambert left the dinner quite satisfied. Though she had her own motives for Bennett, she ultimately wanted Megan to be happy. 

As Mrs. Lambert was leaving, she said to Megan, “Don’t be mad I kept it from you; it was Sullivan’s request!” 

Megan smiled faintly.

The ups and downs between her and Sullivan weren’t for others to worry about. 

After seeing Mrs. Lambert out, Sullivan returned and casually unbuttoned his shirt a bit more, adding a touch of casual sexiness to his crisp white shirt.. 

Megan hadn’t said a word. 

He served her some dishes, leaning in, “Upset to see me?” 

“Not at all!” 

Megan quietly continued her meal, then softly said, “Sullivan, I don’t need your investment.” 

He gently rolled up his sleeves, his tone still soft, “You don’t want to spend my money? Last time, you told me our finances were shared as husband and wife; why the distance now?” 

Megan looked up at him. Her face was delicate and fair under the lamplight, though her eyes were a bit 

red. 

“You know why!” she said. 

Sullivan leaned back. He watched her profile, his voice equally soft, “I don’t know. What I do know is that I don’t want my wife to dress up for some unknown man, go out drinking, and put on a forced smile over some trivial sum of money. Megan, not only am I jealous, but it hurts me too.”
