Mrs. Lawson Is So Sexy and Gallant novel Chapter 42

Slowly looking at Verena, he asked softly, "What's the reason? Can't you tell me?"

"No, I can't," Verena nodded heavily. She would never be able to tell him those unspeakable things, because she had her own dignity!

Especially when she was with him, she wanted to keep that last bit of dignity for herself!

Eden nodded and said slowly, "Don't forget, we are friends!"

His few words touched Verena deeply that she wanted to shed tears. She felt a lump in her throat and managed to stay calm, "Of course we are friends! Anyway, your girlfriend is still waiting for you outside, how can you bear to leave her alone?"

After staring at her deeply for a few seconds, Eden left the kitchen.

Looking at the ginger soup she had cooked, she took the bowl up and drank the soup without thinking. She hadn't expected it to be so hot and she let out a cry, then tears immediately rolled down from her eyes. She quickly wiped her tears and sniffed, and continued drinking the soup.

When she finished drinking the soup and walked out of the kitchen, she overheard the conversation between Wilson and Ruth.

"I heard from Eden that you guys are likely to get engaged this year?" Wilson asked.

Her heart thumped, the bowl slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Eden's eyes fell on her, and the sound had attracted the attention of the rest people.

"Snow White's stepmother, what on earth are you doing?" Cole frowned and looked at her, "Did you just eat your poisonous apple?"

Ignoring the troublesome Cole, she felt a bit embarrassed and blushed while she explained to the people around, "I dropped it accidentally…"

"As long as it didn't drop on your feet," Ruth looked at her with a faint smile. Then she turned to Wilson, "Uncle, so you are already told by Eden about the engagement. Actually, we are not quite sure about it yet. We had invested several films and prepared for the film shootings. We would consider it again when we have time later. Of course, at that time, we would follow your advice."

Wilson laughed with satisfaction and said, "There are vacant rooms at home, so why do you still stay in a hotel? I'll let the housekeeper clean up two rooms, you and Eden could stay at home."

"Thanks, uncle. I don't want to incommode you." Ruth said.

"No trouble at all. Anyway, it is a waste to leave those rooms empty. Besides, you can be considered as part of the family now, so how would it be any trouble?"

The smile on Ruth's face was as sweet as a flower in bud while she reply, "Uncle, then I'm going to accept your suggestion happily."

Without staying in the living room for a long time, Verena went straight upstairs. Although she had drunk the ginger soup, her body was still limp, and even her legs were weak.

She tucked herself into bed and buried deep under the quilt, hoping that she would feel better after sweating.

But when she fell into darkness, she didn't feel sleepy at all. What came to mind was conversation between Eden and her in the kitchen, and the conversation between Ruth and Wilson in the living room.

Engagement?

They seemed a perfect match as a young gentleman and a pretty lady. And Ruth was beautiful and kind, how could anyone hate such a girl?

Well, she would learn to let it go and wish them happiness.
