Louisa was stunned. She felt surprised and asked, “Really?”
Sandra turned to stare at her and Louisa had to shut up.
“Wesley, I know that you love Louisa, but your marriage is set up by your parents and us. So as long as you are determined, Louisa must marry you...”
A door was shut
Before Sandra continued to say something, Louisa went upstairs and closed the door.
“Well, she’s spoiled, but she still likes you. Now perhaps she’s angry because those things were arranged by you without her permission.” Sandra said sincerely.
Hearing Sandra’s sincere words, Wesley could not say anything to refuse her. After all, their relationship was so deep.
But, did Louisa like him?
Well, Sandra told a lie. Because he could not feel any love from Louisa.
In the living room, Sandra kept persuading him, but Louisa was calling somebody and complaining in the upstairs bedroom.
“Colin, I am sorry that I can't have dinner with you tonight. My mother is so bored and she asks me to come back for nothing important.”
And Colin felt a little worried, “Then your parents blame you?”
“No. Don’t worry.” Hearing Colin’s concern, Louisa felt very happy and forgave her mother’s blame.
But after a while, Sandra was unhappy again when hearing her mother calling her name.
“Louisa, come down quickly to see Wesley off.”
Louisa reluctantly hanged up the phone and went downstairs, “Do you hurry to meet Harriet?”
Wesley looked cold. And Sandra was afraid that Wesley would break off the engagement, so she said in a hurry, “Well, Louisa, no matter who Wesley gets together with, you should forgive him. And you will be Mrs. Smith, you should be more open-minded.”
Louisa snorted, “Then can you tolerate my father playing with women outside?”
“You!” Sandra became very angry. But Louisa’s spoiled by her, and it was too late to correct her.
At that moment, Wesley’s phone rang and he turned to answer it. It was Jack speaking, “Mr. Smith, Miss Clark says that she will not get on until you come to pick her up personally.”
Well, it seemed that she’s getting bolder.
However, he didn’t get angry at hearing Harriet’s willful request.
Putting the phone away, Wesley turned around to talk with them, “Uncle Jones invites me here, but it seems that I am not welcomed, then there is no need to discuss any more.”
“Wesley, how could we not welcome you? Well, Louisa is just...”
Before Sandra finished talking, Wesley got on the car and left.
“Why don't you say something nice to him when Wesley is here?” Sandra shouted at Louisa angrily.
Louisa felt that everything had changed. Her parents only knew to force her to marry Wesley, and they didn’t care about her at all. And they became more and more angry with her, but they were not before.
Now, only Colin was kind to her.
Fifteen minutes later, Harriet got to Wesley’s private cottage.
Harriet’s appetite was aroused by the smell of the dishes in the spacious villa, but before dinner she had to say something.
“Mr. Smith, you must have seen all the gossip on the Internet.”
Harriet entered the living room, caught sight of the man sitting on the sofa, and came straight to the point.
“I didn’t want to come just to avoid any gossip. If we were photographed doing something together, the media and your fiance would say something.”
Wesley looked up slowly, “Are you afraid of Louisa?”
Harriet burst into a laugh.
“No. Louisa is so innocent that she would not do something. I just worry that some gossip about you and me would have a bad influence on your fame.”
It sounded nice, but in fact Harriet was insinuating.
“You do not need to worry about my family.” Wesley said.
Harriet curled her lip with an expression of indifference.
“Well, what do you want me to do now? I’m afraid I won’t be able to meet your needs because I do not recover well.”
The rejection made Wesley feel angry.
In this woman’s eyes, they have nothing to communicate with each other except the physical relationship, right?
“I am afraid that it’s not your choice.” Wesley grabbed her and started kissing her.
Harriet resisted and said, “Wesley, if you want to make love with a woman, you can find others, but why me?”
“It’s your pleasure.”
Wesley’s reply made her feel angry,
“Well, you think that you are very great. But but how much do you think those women would like you if they really know you?”
Harriet became very annoyed.
Then Wesley stopped to looked at her, “It seems that you do not like me.”
The more politely he called her “Miss Clark”, the more severe the punishment he would make.
Harriet lost her nerve at the thought of what she had suffered before. Just now she she had had the courage, but now she regretted it bitterly.
She regretted. There was no need to say such words. And she should endure everything so that she would not suffer those punishment.
“Mr. Smith, I am so sorry!”
Wesley was a bit surprised that her confession had changed so quickly.
“What I mean by that is, I admire your appearance so much, and if those women really know what you really are, they would adore you even more.”
Harriet had a knack for telling lies all over the place, which was a basic operation as an actress to learn many lines by heart.
Then Wesley stopped kissing, and it seemed that Louisa’s flattery worked. So Louisa continued.
“I know that you are very kind. And my body is gradually recovering, so let me rest for a few days again, and I will compensate you well.”
And she blinked at him playfully.
Harriet’s long cilia seemed to sweep into Wesley’s heart.
He probably would not let her go before and just wanted to release himself. But now he turned to consider her feeling.
When did he change? He did not even notice.
Harriet felt hungry, so she said, “Mr. Smith, why not eat dinner first?”
Then, Wesley let her go finally.
