Chapter 489
“Which him?” Chris feigned ignorance. “Well…” Daisy couldn’t even bear to say his name.
Chris cut her off and said with a half-smile, “Oh, I remember it now. Your ex-fiancé.”
He turned towards Weston, “Weston, what do you think?” “None of my business,” Weston rubbed in between his brows. He paused for a moment before going on, “But since he hurt my girl, I can’t let him off so easily.”
Daisy’s face fell ever so subtly. Indeed, the reason he even interfered in this entire issue was because of Ella, not her. Chris looked at her; his interest piqued. “Seems like you really want Weston to stand up for
you?”
“Of course not!” Daisy denied it vehemently. “How would I dare to bother Mr. Ford…” “Do you not dare and not want for that to happen?” Daisy did not know why Chris was bent on embarrassing her in front of Weston. Her eyes turned red as she glanced at him, her fists clenched tight. Ever since Chris witnessed that scene, the cool and calm image she erected before him seemed thoroughly destroyed.
Chris had just discovered that this woman wasn’t as strong as she portrayed herself to be. He merely hadn’t seen her vulnerabilities previously. Thus, he suddenly felt his interest in her waning. He initially thought that Daisy would be an insurmountable obstacle, but after defeating the final boss, everything started sailing smoothly, and he found it boring again. However, he couldn’t bear to give it up just like that. It felt just like chicken ribs- unappetizing, yet a waste if thrown away. Chris sipped on his wine and placed it on the table. “Tell me. How do you intend to settle this?”
He turned to Daisy, “He’s your ex-fiancé, after all. We should respect your opinion.”
Daisy subconsciously glanced at Weston and subsequently lowered her head. “I don’t know… I want to have a clean break with him, but I don’t want anyone to get killed.”
“Given how much of a cheat and a scoundrel your ex-fiancé is, you can forget about having a clean break with him without involving lives.” Chris continued sipping on his wine as he remarked casually.
