Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 817

They left the private room and went downstairs. After Wade paid the bill, they stepped out of the restaurant together. Wade took out the flowers from the car and passed them to Shirley. With a bright smile, he offered, "Do you want me to pick you up later?"

"I… have to work overtime. There's a lot of work to do lately." Shirley turned him down tactfully. Although Wade never said anything, she could see the fervent affection behind his gaze. She felt that she had to tell Wade eventually that she didn't love him.

"Let's go back to your place," he suggested.

He took a few steps forward and looked down at her. "Am I a wolf or something? Are you worried that I'll swallow you?"
