William got awkward. He clutched his lips madly, “Please show your respect to what I just said, Vivian.”
Vivian hid her spoof away and put on a serious look instead, “Okay. Let’s have a solemn conversation. Why?”
“What do you mean?” William doubted himself a little. He couldn’t keep up with Vivian at this time.
Her thoughts were too elastic for him to follow with.
Vivian repeated tremblingly, “Why do you want to marry me?”
“Are you leaving Angie, your puppy love? I think you offer me the marriage only for Roe. You find Roe more important.” Vivian continued with a melancholy voice.
She did dream of marrying William before. But everything changed completely after Angie showed up.
Vivian would have a higher expectation if he tried not to reconcile with Angie.
Unfortunately, all her forecasts were totally wiped out by his inconsistent attitude.
A flash of delight came across. William’s eyebrow waggled.
She still cared about him.
“I remember you were the sweetheart at school?” William switched the conversation abruptly.
Vivian looked up in puzzlement. Did it have anything to do with this?
William seemed to realize her doubt. He questioned, “Why do you abase yourself? Am I not allowed to fall in love with you and make the proposal?”
“How... could you...” Vivian soliloquized shockingly.
William leaned towards her. His lips brushed hers delicately. Vivian was completely in shock, but she didn’t turn him down.
Soon after, William felt beguiling. All the restlessness gathered together with eroticism. William doubted himself, when was the last time they had sex?
But...
He overcame it before being rejected by Vivian. He moved towards her ear with a deep voice, “You never know how charming you are, Vivi.”
After that, he pulled himself right away with Vivian being left stupefied there, “I will leave the decision to you. This is your only chance to get close to Roe. Feel free to come to me tonight if you still have any questions!”
Vivian rooted there. She didn’t even realize about William’s leaving.
The dusky flush of her cheeks last long.
What did he mean by saying that?
He tried to make the proposal to win her love?
But...
What about the last word?
Was she enchanting to him?
Vivian sank onto her bed, holding the pillow with a chew of the quilt cover.
She focused on the pinky underpants with a long face.
A lecher like William was definitely thinking about sex, rather than the sincere praise to her.
Males were always driven by sexual impulse!
What a shame!
Vivian had to admit that she was totally messed up by what William said. She didn’t take her rest or the supper tonight.
His minion left quietly after.
After a short meditation, Daniel dialed a number.
Six-ears was on his way to go shopping with Angie.
Angie found Six-ears to be a sweet talker, despite his ugly look. She asked Six-ears to go shopping with her, or take her to somewhere for fun, when she got mad with William and his Mom.
She was still in a bad mood, as William didn’t answer her phone today.
“Why are we still here? The car is waiting.” Angie frowned with a severe reprimand.
Six-ears showed a great apology, “I just got a call from my Mom. You can get in the car first. It’s really warm today. I will be back in a few minutes.”
Angie groaned, “How dare you asking me to wait for you, a bodyguard?”
“I would appreciate your great kindness to bring me the courage!” Six-ears didn’t retort. He smiled at Angie with his luminous eyes.
By seeing the look on his face, Angie backed down and stamped her feet, “Okay then. You’d better hurry up.”
Six-ears nodded.
He went to a small nook with knitted brows, “You barely come and visit, Mr. Daniel!”
“Have you thought about what I said last time? Alan and his allies are not home today. Vanessa had a date out as well. You don’t have much time left for this chance!” Daniel snorted.
A quick thought came up to Six-ears.
Alan sneaked out early this morning with doubled bodyguards around. It was really suspicious.
Six-ears responded, “Okay, I got it!”
