Chapter 290 Good Fortune Ahead
Camila didn’t forget how Emelie threatened her by alming an arrow at her when they were at the archery field at the Lakeside Villa.
She gritted her teeth. After Patricia was gone, then came another in the form of Emellie. Patricia was from the Wade family, but Emelie couldn’t have come from a rich family too could she? Or was she a gold digger?
She couldn’t bel
She was just someone who needed a man to live!
She didn’t care if she had to depend on some other man, but if that man was Bryan… Camila decided she had to settle the score and teach her a lesson!
Camila called over a waiter and took him to a concealed location. She folded her arms in front of her chest and said, “Do something for me and I’ll pay you!”
Chapter 291 The Two Demands
When others looked at them, they would think that the four of them were just having a friendly chat. However, Emelie was becoming very ne
Luckily, Elena prompted William at this time. “Mr. Middleton, Mrs. Matilda is down here. We should en say hello.”
Willum gwe Emelie one final look and nodded. “See you around.”
And then, she walked over with Elena to speak with Matida
There was silence
Emelie felt that everything had become so surreal.
It was the first time they’d seen each other since she revealed her intentions. No act of vengeance would scare her. He wasn’t even deliberately making things difficult for her or verbally ridiculing her.
William excused himself and left. Could it be that he felt that it was getting pointless to force her to do anything and decided to let her go
She was caught completely off guard when she realized she had survived an expected calamity Emelie’s eyes couldn’t help but follow William’s figure and wonder why he had suddenly changed.
Charles saw how Emelie stared at William leaving.
Wounded, he said, “Your current partner is right here, but you keep staring at your ex. Consider how that can be a bit humiliating for me, could you?
Emelle bamed around and said, “I don’t remember agreeing to be your girlfriend, Mr. Davis
“What I mean by “partner” does not have to be about being romantically entangled. I’m just trying to say that you used to appear in banquets and parties with Mr. Middleton, but now you’re with me,” Charles sald with a frivolous smile.
“However, if that’s how you understood it. Hm.. Tunderstand. You must be interested in me too, a
wen’t you?
Emelie was getting tired of him. “If it really is that hun for you to argue with me, Mr. Davis, you should practice with some comedians who would appreciate what you have to say more than I do”
charles paused as if to think.
Then, he looked down as it he was serious. He said sincereh, “At first, I wanted to say that you’ll find out just what a cunning linguist can be, but I say to the girls I’m not serious with But you? I’ll refrain because I’m being sincere with you. I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable or offend you.”
If Emelie was ten years younger, she might be stunned by his romantic words.
But she was older and could see through all the tricks he had up his sleeve. “You didn’t want to say it, but you sad it anyway,
Not only did she retort, she even made sense of his nonsense. She was really quite good at this.
Charles said innocently, “Ah, I’m sorry. That’s not what I meant. Please forgive me. This is the first time I’ve courted a woman I like and I’m rather inexperienced, so I apologize if you find me to be a bit reckless and awkward.”
There was a moment of silence.
Out of anger, Emelie had to laugh out or she would hit something
While William was listening to Matilda, he looked to the side disinterestedly.
He saw Eneli turn around and leave after looking at Charles with disbelief.
Charles did not look like he was about to give up and continued to tease her with his head best low. They really did look like a couple in a fight
William’s expression became even. colder. His thumb and index fingerbrushed together behind his back as thoughts crossed his mind.
“Did you hear what I said, William?” Matilda said, unhappy that he was becoming distracted
“I did. You were telling me to find someone and get engaged. Once I do, l’Ebecome much more composed, especially with a family and child to care for,” William said calmly,” Those who don’t know anything about me would think that I’m very rebellious. Did my father ask you to tell me that?i
Matilda didn’t deny it. She then looked at Elena who was standing next to her, but she didn’t intend to ask her of her identity. She simply said, “You know how anxious your dad is. He doesn’t demand much of the kind of person you’re looking for.”
William remembered something. Contempt brewed in has eyes as be snorted. “He isn’t asking for much, correct”
There were only no demands, really.
Firstly, his partner had to be a woman
Secondly, she had to be able to give birth
Matilda parted his hand and said, “The twins are upstairs. Go see them. You’ll grow fond of children after you look at them. Perhaps, you’ll understand your father’s feelings when you do.”
Emelie didn’t want to be anywhere near Charles anymore. He was so much more of a clown than she had expected. She looked at Matilda and noticed that William was almost done with her she moved to go over and greet Matilda
Charles wasn’t in as much of a rush. He looked at Emelie and switched gears. “This color looks great on you”
Emelie subconsciously looked down and looked at the dress she was wearing
She was wearing along, white dress. It was plain and had no embroidery as it hugged her neck and revealed her skinny shoulders. She looked modest yet elegant.
Wearing an outfit like that to a banquet like this could never go wrung.
Emelie half–heartedly said, “Thank you, Mr. Davis“.
charles revealed a wide grin, “But you would look so much better in a traditional dress.”
