Billionaire ’s Unforgettable First Love novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Keep On Playing Your Role Well

She picked up the call while walking.

"Where are you?"

"I'll soon be home."

"Is there anyone at home?"

"I guess no."

"Open the door for me five minutes later."

Suddenly, the call was cut off.

Feeling stunned for two seconds, Gwenyth checked the time on her phone before she quickened her steps to run toward her neighborhood.

When she reached her house, the fridge was just delivered.

The delivery man was very enthusiastic. He even helped her carry the fridge into the house, unwrapped it, and asked her to inspect it upon delivery.

The door was ajar.

When Edison arrived, he heard people talking in the house, so he raised his arm and push the old security door open with a finger.

Gwenyth was smiling and expressing her gratitude toward the delivery man. Seeing that, Edison raised his brows slightly.

It was the first time he saw such a defenseless smile on her face after meeting her again four years later.

"I'll go if there's no problem."

When the delivery man turned around, he nearly knocked against Edison.

On the other hand, Edison stood straight and glanced at him expressionlessly. The delivery man then stepped to the side and walked around Edison.

"Is your family of three going to use such a small fridge?"

Edison kicked the door close and raised a light question.

"Well, it's enough."

Her tone was very calm, and her smile was long gone. She was back to her usual aloof self while facing him.

"Sit where you like."

"Where should I sit?"

Edison looked around. The sofa was of an old-fashioned style with a cloth covering it. Besides, several clothes were thrown on it. It was slightly messy, and it was unknown whether the clothes were clean or dirty.

The living room was particularly small, so the space was very cramped. There was even a vaguely unpleasant smell in the air.

That smell attacked him with the air ventilated between the rooms. So, he frowned deeply. "What smell is this?"

Gwenyth made use of both of her arms to hug the fridge and slowly moved it toward the kitchen.

"I'm sorry. The weather is too hot, so the food turned bad. I'll immediately throw it away."

Edison walked to a window further away from the kitchen and tried to breathe using both his nose and mouth, facing outside.

That house was not only small but stuffy and hot.

His forehead was already sweating in the few minutes that he was there.

After she moved the fridge, she threw the rotten food into the dustbin and tied up the garbage bag to get rid of it downstairs. When she came out of the kitchen, she saw him standing beside the window and sizing up her home disdainfully.

She knew that her home was very shabby and it could never be compared with the grand house he stayed at. Hence, she did not want to make things difficult for a rich heir who led a prince-like life. She then suggested, "If you think this place makes you ill at ease, we can talk outside."

"How can you survive in this kind of environment?"

Her gaze was calm. "Well, many people are just like me in this world. Some can't even afford such a shabby house. Mr. Yates, not everyone is born to a wealthy family like you."

"It's too hot here."

"There's a fan. Do you want me..."

"That's fine."

He disliked the air and environment there. He felt that it was very dirty and smelly.

Therefore, he furrowed his brows and strode out of the house.

Gwenyth kept some distance from him for fear that he would smell the garbage in her hand. So, she walked slowly behind him.

After Edison walked out of the residential building, he went straight into his black car.

Gwenyth threw away the garbage and walked over to stand beside the car. She recalled Nancy telling her that she smelled of sweat, so she refrained from getting into the car.
