Chapter 191
Back at the villa where she lived with Baldrick Anderson, Baldrick was still awake and looked surprised when she came in. “Why are you back so soon?”
Leaning against the wooden fence, Winnie smiled and said, “Sorry to disappoint you, but Schilder didn’t show any interest in me”
Disappointed and confused, Baldrick asked, “Why not?”
“Guess I just don’t have the charm to make Schilder cheat on his wife.” She shrugged, walked towards her room, and said, “I’m tired, gonna hit the hay.”
“You go rest, Baldrick replied.
She didn’t look back, went straight into her room, closed the door, and collapsed, sheding tears silently.
The next day, Estelle woke up in Jonathan’s arms. The sun was shining brightly on her face, looking warm and inviting.
They’d gone a bit overboard the night before, and Estelle was feeling pretty rough, especially from the aftereffects of the alcohol.
Jonathan coaxed her into having breakfast, and while they were eating, someone from Baldrick’s entourage came to invite Jonathan over, saying President Anderson had something important to discuss.
Jonathan wasn’t in a rush to see Baldrick, so he finished breakfast with Estelle first, and had a servant make a nourishing soup for her.
Estelle said, “Mr. Anderson probably has urgent matters to discuss with you, otherwise he wouldn’t come to see you so early. You don’t need to worry about me.”
“Alright, just lie down in bed and have a good rest if you’re feeling unwell, I’ll be back soon. He kissed her cheek and left after instructing the servants.
With her thighs aching and her head pounding, Estelle didn’t want to go out. Once Jonathan had left, she went back to her room to read a book.
At Baldrick’s villa, Winnie was called away by Mrs. Macy, so the study was empty except for Baldrick.
When he saw Jonathan, Baldrick came out and asked with a smile, “Is Ms. Macclain alright?”
Jonathan smiled back. “She’s just feeling a bit unwell from drinking too much last night, nothing serious.
After some small talk, Baldrick got to the point, “I’ve received some intel that Schilder seems to have connections with others as well. Our two families aren’t his only or final choice.”
“But we have the upper hand, and we can’t let such an opportunity slip through,” Baldrick took a bottle of wine from the shelf, got some wine for Jonathan, and said, “We must make Schilder sign the agreement as soon as possible.”
Holding his wine, Baldrick raised an eyebrow and smiled, “It’s just a matter of catering to Schilder’s preferences, making him happy and showing our sincerity! I do, have an idea, but I don’t know if you’d be willing to go through with it?”
