A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 31

William saw me, and smiled gently, said, "Hi, Ashley. You are back."

"Hi, what are you doing here?" I was a little surprised. There was a thin layer of snowflakes on his hair and shoulders.

William stretched out to wipe the snow on my hair. He said, "I'm afraid you may forget our visit to Paris tomorrow. So I want to remind you and see if you have prepared."

I was already feeling uncomfortable because of William's intimate action. When I heard William mention about the design exhibition, I suddenly patted my head and said with chagrin, "It's terrible. I forgot about it."

Because after hearing Mark Mu's words today, I lost my mind and forgot such an important thing. It was too inappropriate.

"I knew it. That's why I'm here." William smiled. He was good-looking especially when he smiled in this way.

I took out the key and let William get in the house. I couldn't help but say helplessly, "In fact, you can call

me.

"Well, the real reason I'm here is I miss you. I want to see you."

When I heard his words, I was stunned.

He stretched out his arm and hugged my body tightly. He put his chin against my shoulder and said to me in a low voice, "Ashley, I miss you."

"William." I twisted my body uneasily. William turned over my body and looked at me with stubborn and firm eyes.

"Ashley, let's date, okay?"

Why did he mention this again?

His frank words were out of my expectation. For some reason, I lowered my head and looked at my flat stomach. Then I remembered Edward. I laid my hands on my stomach.

"I know, it may be a little difficult to let you forget Edward, but I just want you not to be so hard. You deserve a better man." William looked at me calmly and said in a deep voice.

I blinked, forced a smile, "Sorry, William. I don't know. Now I have to focus on the competition, I want to win."

I really didn't want to touch the love, because I was too tired.

William didn't say anything, he held me in his arms, saying calmly, "Ok, I respect your choice."

"I'm sorry." William helped me a lot, and I always unconsciously felt a little guilty for him.

William pretended to be angry and scratched my nose, saying, "Don't say sorry to me. Are you hungry? I'll cook for you."

"Can you cook?" I widened my eyes and looked at William in disbelief.

"You underestimate me?" William rolled up his sleeves and said with a very gentle and beautiful smile.

I stuck out my tongue and said to William, "Then I'll wait for the food of you, chef. I'll wash up today's clothes first."

“Trust me. You will fall in love with me as soon as you taste my dishes." William joked casually. His expression was very funny.

Seeing his face, I burst into laughter. I was relieved a little bit.

I returned to my room and took out the recording pen that Mark Mu gave me. After a long silence, I put them into the drawer.

As I promised Edward, I wouldn't release the evidence. This was the last thing I could do for him.

But I wouldn't show any mercy to Betty if she framed me next time. Edward's words wouldn't work then.

I took the cup on the table and wanted to drink water, founding that the water was cold. Thinking that I was pregnant now, I picked up the kettle and filled it with water, and heat it.

I wanted to protect my baby, it was my hope.

However...

The child would grow bigger and bigger. In the future, I would not be able to hide. Maybe, Edward would know.

The people of the Xis would not leave the Xis' offspring outside. I must make a plan for this child.

I touched my belly and looked at it tenderly. It was my kid that I had been expecting for a long time.

Even if the child's father didn't want him to come, he did.

When I was thinking, William told me the meal was ready.

So I walked out of my room.

When I saw the dishes on the small table that looked very delicious, I laughed, "It seems that you are a master."

"Come on, have a taste. You don't have a good appetite recently. What I made for you are appetizing dishes." William's eyes were unusually gentle.

After I tried it, I praised him, "Yummy, you are such a good cook."

"Do you fall in love with me?" William chuckled and teased.

"Not enough." I looked at William mischievously and joked.
