Chapter 3161 Want to Help You
melle furrowed her brows. She wondered what Willamet by the owed him since high school What nonsense was he talking about?
They did attend the same high school, but she had only heard of his name and barely seen him a few times, let alone knowing him. How could she owe him anything?
This wasn’t the first time he claimed she owed him. What exactly did she owe him?
Thinking about this, Emelie questioned him. She stated at him and waited for his answer.
william parsed his thin lips, but after a moment, he let go of her hand, with a cold expression, he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car from his side.
Then, he headed into the private restaurant without saying a word her.
Η
Emelle sighed and followed him
It was already past so, and the restrument had few guests at this hour Willam walked straight to a comer table, and a walter promptly brought the menu.
Without glancing at it, wiliam ordered, “One of everything “He meant to order every dish.
Emelle heard this as she approached and frowned. “Is this your way of getting back at me, Mr. Middleton? Was he trying to waste her money?” william locked up. “wing stingy?”
“I just thinks wastedal” There was no way the three of them could finkhalldat
William wiped his hands with a hot towel and told the water, “Bring ade dishes Pack the rest for the janitors.”
Emelie doubled William’s sudden display of generosity
He just wanted her to spend the money and make her uncomfortable.
This man was truly annoying,
She didn’t want to argue with him, so she let him do as he pleased
If he didn’t want to draw a line between them, that was his problem. After this meal, she’d consider them even. She had a clear conscience.
william could see the impatience in her Eghtly made–up features, and something swelled in his chest
Abruptly, he asked, “Do you think I helped you because of Elena, or did I do it because wanted aven’t you figured that out after three years by my side? Emelie was stunned. She looked up to meet his deep, dark eyes. Hidden beneath that darkness was a questionable look that hit her straight on.
Her heart skipped ab
She wondered if he meant that whether at the Now Residence or today in the private room, he helped her simply because he wanted to, not because someone asked him to Emelie but her lip. She recalled how Elma always interrupted William whenever he was about to speak at the Navarro Residence. She would say things like, “William, help Ms. Hoven,” or “William, call a cab for Ms. Hoven.”
It had seemed that William only helped her because Elena had asked him to Emelie was even surprised to see William so obedient,
But if William were truly obedient to Elena, she should have felt confident and secure. Why would she constantly flaunther relationship with William in front of Emelie? She wondered if she had been fooled by Elena’s act again.
Emelie was operated that she almost lighed. How many tricks could ena possibly have?
William’s cold voice intempted her thoughts “esced it our yet?”
His bone sounded the, “Did you realize you wrongly accused me
Emelie glanced around and spotted a water dispenser. This private dining place had good food but wasn’t a five–star restaurant, sa drinks were self–served
She stood up and poured some water into William’s cup. “Then let me toast to you for your kindness, Mr. Middleton
William was not satisfied “That’s it?!
Emelie remained calm “reame out from under your wing, Mr. Middleton. You know my abilities better than anyone. You know that even without your help, I could have handled the Navarro Residence on and tonight’s issue on my own. Despite this, you chose to assist me. Other than thanking you, Treally don’t know what else to say.”
William was speechless.
She was essentially saying that even without his help, she could have solved the problems on her own. His help was unnecessary, so how could the expect her gratitude? Leaning back in his chair, he responded, “Didn’t you say unlike Mr. Swanson, never help you unconditionally? Since I did help you, there must be conditions.” Emelle ceplied smoothly, “I was delirious as I had a fever that day and must have sported nonsense. Mr. Middleton, please don’t take it to heart.”
Wiliam pressed on. “What if insist on taking it to heart?”
At that moment, the water brought over the first dish. It was chicken soup Emelie smiled brightly. She personally served him abowl
“Mr. Middleton, you haven’t been sleeping well these past few days. This soup helps with calining the mind and impering sleep. You should love more.”
Witam looked at the soup, then back at her. He wondered if was simply trying to waw him off with a bowl of soup.
How ungrateful.
However, it seemed like she was enjoying herself and trying hard not to feel too triumph. Her eyes crinkled with a mischievous glint.
it had been a long time since hehad seen her aile in funt of him
Usually, she looked at him with her hatred or anger. She always kept a distance from him. Recently, though, he hadn’t been pushing her, and she hadn’t been as hostile as before.
