My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) novel Chapter 317

Amy was thinking why Allison didn't come, so she was staring blankly at somewhere. Eliana nudged her, trying to make her concentrated and reminding her that they needed to deal with Philip later.

"Mr. Philip, why did your wife not come? I guess you should come together. It's such a good chance to see us suffered. Isn't it a pity that she's not coming?" Amy asked Philip.

"You mean Alison? Oh, she's not my wife. She's just my assistance. She pretends to be my wife for work. I pay her for that." Philip hurriedly clarified their relationship.

"Please have more. Is there another old saying? 'Each grain is hard.' What a pity is to waste these dishes." Philip was persuading them to eat more.

He moved the delicious dishes towards them.

Amy thought that it was being bad to herself that she didn't eat, since she had already been here. Philip was detestable, but it was not the fault of those dishes. Thus, she started eating.

Noticing that, Eliana also began having the meal. She was hungry at this time. She found Philip's old face and weird voice became tolerable when she was enjoying the dishes.

The dishes were consumed as soon as they started eating. They both held the belief that eating was the top priority no matter what happened.

They had the dishes but not the wine. They were cautious about Philip who was not a good man.

After eating up the meal, they took a sip of tea. Then, they were staring at Philip, waiting for him to put on a show.

"Have you finished off yet?" Philip found them almost eat up the dishes, so he put down the chopsticks as if he was about to begin the show.

"Yes. Please tell us what you've planned to say." Eliana leaned on the chair, drinking tea and thinking about how to deal with him.

"Well, let me start with my story. Three years, I met Mr. and Mrs. Newell in France. I guess you can remember that, Mrs. Newell." Philip talked about things three years ago.

"Of course I remember that absurd thing." Eliana tried hard to control her temper and not to slap him on his face when answering him.

"Oh, you find it absurd? I don't think so. Heroes love beauties. Though I can't be deemed as a hero, I'm a real man at least." Philip didn't get mad about her words.

"I will help you out, if you agree to my demand." Philip kept checking Amy out.

Amy was not a fool. She had guessed what he was up for.

"Mr. Philip, it's a slim chance that we will accede to your request. We will take care of the problem on our own. We're going if you have nothing else to say. Eliana grabbed Amy's hand. She was going to throw up for even just having the thought that a dirty old man coveted her daughter. Her daughter was an excellent woman while Philip was older than her and not long for him to be buried in the grave.
