Chapter 23
Chris’s Pov
Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, I felt very uncomfortable. Warren’s mad, huh? I would be angry if I were Warren.
Kenneth took the phone from me and turned it off.
“What are you doing?” I glared at him.
“I don’t like being interrupted at lunch.”
My heart was full of anger. “Uncle, what do you want from me anyway?”
I am a pawn in Kenneth’s hand for his amusement.
I went into the wrong room that night and made such a big mistake. I am willing to be punished, but it’s really annoying to be led by others all the time.
Kenneth’s pov
“Have dinner with me.” I turned a blind eye to her anger.
The waiter started serving, and I had already explored Chris’s preferences.
This girl likes to eat delicious food, which is typical of a chowhound.
If a steak won’t solve the problem, then another dessert will definitely solve it.
“This steak is good. Try it.”
“I do not have an appetite. I only promised to eat with you. I didn’t say I had to eat.” She looked at me angrily and said.
The little girl dares to throw her tantrum at me. Yes, she has made progress, at least she is not so scared of me anymore.
I am in no hurry, cutting the steak leisurely, more dishes are coming to the table, there’s a lot of desserts and side dishes besides the staples.
“Are you sure you are not hungry?” I saw the little girl who held out for ten minutes.
“I am not hungry.” No sooner had the words been spoken than her stomach was “gooey” and Chris was blushing with embarrassment.
“Still saying you are not hungry?” I chortled.
Chris’s Pov
“I was…. well.” My mouth was stuffed with a cut steak and I chewed unconsciously.
“Is it tasty?”
“Well, it’s delicious.” It’s so delicious it makes me want to cry. I have not had a steak this good in a long time.
The food at the Wilson family’s was good, but I was scared to death alongside Kenneth and did not feel like tasting the meat.
“Eat more if they are tasty, and dessert is good too,” Kenneth said to me.
I began to eat with a knife and fork without a backbone, and the more I ate, the better my mood became, and soon I forgot the misfortune that had happened before.
Warren’s pov
I waited a long time, but Chris did not return. Seeing my dissatisfaction, the White family called repeatedly at that moment, but no matter how many times I called, their phone was off.
Chris’s younger brother said loudly at that moment, “Mom and Dad, is my sister doing something she should not be doing, otherwise why is not she answering the phone?”
The White family’s “face ” is not good either. “Do not talk nonsense. It’s assumed her phone is dead. Warren, don’t mind. Chris in my family never does that.”
I can not keep my expression up. I was talking to her a minute ago and now she’s turned off the phone. I coudn’t help but think in a different direction.
“I suddenly remembered that I have something to do and I have to leave first. You eat first.” I really can not stay any longer.
“Warren, do not go.” The White family came out and dragged me.
I don’t care about what other people say. I am leaving of my own free will. Why am I staying here without Chris? To listen to their deliberate flattery?
I don’t know why I am so angry, but I have already agreed with Chris that we should not interfere in each other’s personal lives.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
I called her phone again, but it was still off. What did it take for her to turn the phone off?
Just as I was getting excited, Kitty’s phone came in, “Warren, buy me lunch.”
“OK, tell me what you like to eat and I’ll make a reservation right away.”
“Go to the Japanese food we often eat.”
“Fine, I’ll pick you up in the car.” I hung up the phone and decided to stop worrying about unimportant irrelevant people.
Soon I reached Kitty’s apartment, “Warren!” As soon as we met, Kitty came up to me and hugged me joyfully. Suddenly her face changed.
“What’s wrong?” I thought something was wrong with her expression and asked worriedly.
Kitty’s pov
“No, nothing.” I put on a smile again, but my heart was pounding with hatred.
Chris, that bitch! How dare you seduce Warren.
Warren has a weird perfume smell
Chris’ Pov
I finished lunch with Kenneth, and Kenneth answered a phone call and was anxious to leave.
I was relieved. “Uncle, you must be very busy, you can go in advance, don’t worry about me.”
Kenneth, who got up, frowned and said, “It seems that you want me to leave? Hmm?”
His hands are on my side, and his breath is ambiguous on my face.
If I say yes now. Will Kenneth tear me with his hand?
“Of course not. I don’t want my Uncle to leave at all.” I said something against my will.
“Seriously?”
“Really, I swear there is never a word of falsehood.” I put out two fingers to swear to heaven.
“It better be so.” Kenneth just got up and left.
Looking at Kenneth leaving, I feel like a deflated ball and collapsed on the sofa. God, this big man has finally left.
Seeing that black gold card is still in its place, damn it, why didn’t he take it with him?
I put away my card and prepared to return it to Kenneth next time. It seems that Kenneth ignored me when I said I would pay back the money.
Is that hundreds of thousands free? Why do I feel so uneasy in my heart?
However, the problem was finally solved satisfactorily, and I was ready to leave with my bag.
No sooner had I left the coffee shop than I met Cliff, and he didn’t leave!
“Miss Chris, master asked me to send you back.”
“No, I….”
“I dare not disobey his orders, Miss Chris, please.”
I curled my lips, and the assistants of this men were so overbearing, just like him.
“Thank you for that. Please help me hand over this card to my Uncle.” I want him to hand it over to him.
“Master didn’t tell you that this card has been given to you. What he sent out will not be taken back. If you want to return it , please return to him in person, I dare not make decisions.”
“send me? How is it possible?” I’m scared. This card is not a barber shop membership card and can be sent as a gift randomly.
“If you have any questions, please ask the master yourself.” Cliff looked at me and said.
“Oh.” I had to put the card back, called home and learned that Warren had already left.
Dad pestered me to ask if the male sentry’s story was true. I felt guilty. I thought Jim really saw me and Kenneth together. I found an excuse and hung up the phone in a haste.
When I hung up the phone, I thought carefully. It was so hidden that Jim had no reason to see it. If he didn’t see it, why did he make up this story? I also deliberately said it in front of Warren, which is extremely unfavorable to the White family.
Cliff interrupted my thoughts wanders. “Miss, we arrive.”
“Thank you.”
As soon as I got off the car, I met a delivery car. “Miss Chris? This is the clothes you bought in our store yesterday. We will send it to you right away.”
Then I remembered that I wanted to impress Kenneth with the impression that I worth money, and he bought the whole store.
Looking at the huge box, I waved my hand again and again: “Well, I don’t want these clothes. Can you return them?”
I’m just saying, I don’t really want Kenneth’s things.
“Miss, I’m afraid this won’t work. We only exchange goods in our store and can’t return them.”
“This….”
I regret it! Why should I believe the nonsense reply on the Internet!
I never liked to owe people anything, but now I owe Kenneth so much money.
Helplessly, I took all the clothes, new clothes hung all over the wardrobe, but I was not happy at all.
I have passed the interview, as for the formal notice of work has not been received, even if I go to work, how long will my salary take to still pay this huge sum of money?
Alas …
I silently took notes and wrote down the price of each dress. Although the clothes on the second floor are cheaper than those on the top floor, one is several thousand, and more than 30 pieces have been sent here, which is close to 200, 000.
Together with the money I gave Jim today, it cost more than 900, 000 dollars.
I feel a little headache. The more I don’t want to get involved with Kenneth, the more I seem to get involved with him.
