Obsession With Mr. Right novel Chapter 72

Elizabeth took out a thermos bottle from the bag on her hand, "I've made chicken soup for Master Howard."

"Our father is in poor health and the doctor advised him to eat a bland diet. Such greasy food like chicken soup is not allowed." William replied lightly.

"Then you can take it, for your hard work on taking care of father!" Elizabeth laughed.

"I don't like it. You can keep it for my brother, your husband." William refused.

Elizabeth felt embarrassed to be so directly rejected by William. She had no choice but to change the topic, "What did the doctor say our dad should have? Next time I'll cook something our dad likes and send it over."

"Something light as the doctor said. But I've ordered someone to make breakfast for father, so don't bother."

Though Elizabeth invited a snub, she didn't get angry. A mild reply still, "Then that will count on you, William."

William nodded, "I'm glad to be of help of my own father!"

Then Valeria sent a message asking what he was doing. He replied, "I'm working."

"Are you free at noon? Shall we have lunch together? I'd like to cook your lunch myself." Another message from Valeria.

The corners of William's mouth curled up in a tender smile. He had such a great smile. No wonder so many women fall for him. William Howard did have a fatal attraction in such a rakish appearance.

Elizabeth put out a feeler, "Girlfriend, ha?"

"Yeah." William replied faintly.

"Which family does the young lady come from? You two must look good together. When will you introduce her to us?" Elizabeth put on airs.

After ending the text with "Okay," William Howard looked away from the phone and looked back at Elizabeth with a polite fake smile.

"We're fine, thank you. Why don't you pay more attention to Andrew? He needs a girlfriend more. You should keep watching him instead of me!"

When William mentioned Andrew Howard, Elizabeth forced a smile and said, "He probably won't listen to me. And, he's abroad now..."

"He'll be back soon. After all, this country is his home. He can't stay abroad for ever! ' William put in a word.

"Who said that?" Elizabeth was surprised to hearthat Andrew Howard was coming back.

"He told me in a call himself. So my dear brother didn't tell you that?" William stared at Elizabeth with a cold smile.

William's cold manner made Elizabeth squirm.

It was as if the man in front of her could read her mind, which caused Elizabeth to flee the room after a few words.

William caught a glimpse of Elizabeth's worried expression and a sneer crossed his face., "When the fox preaches, people should take care of their geese. You probably think yourself as the smartest person in the world, right, Elizabeth Eich?"

A sneer came over his face as he got up from the sofa and started out.

At the entrance, he ordered the bodyguards, "If Elizabeth comes to the hospital in the future, don't let her in. If she asks why, tell her it's Master Howard's order."

The bodyguard said "Yes, sir". Then William looked at the nurse, "Please take good care of my father. I have something to take care of.

I'll be back this afternoon."

Bob was conning back for lunch, so Valeria went shopping at a nearby supermarket. She bought fish and shrimp, which Bob liked, and chicken as well.

While at the supermarket, however, Valeria felt she was being watched.

Valeria had become more alert since she got kidnapped last time. She did the shopping with a stiff upper lip kept while she was secretly observed the people behind her.
