Right now, Louis was at the table feeling anxious.
He wondered if thing might go better between them after what happened last night.
And he didn't know whether she liked the clothes he bought her yesterday or not. Even though he knew what size she was, he was afraid she might not like the style he chose.
Then, he heard her footsteps. He looked up and saw Wanda walking down the stairs.
He was amazed at her looks. The pink sweater suited her just well and made her soft skin and pretty eyes pop.
And the black pencil pants showed the beautiful curves of her legs, which made her look delicate and lovely.
Louis was completely stunned.
Seeing him staring at her silently, she asked insecurely, "What? Is there something wrong with my outfit?"
Louis finally came to his senses. He answered embarrassedly, "No. You look nice, really nice."
Wanda was a bit shy to see him like that. She felt something unbelievable growing in her heart.
Louis looked away and said, "Come and eat, Wanda."
Wanda nodded and went over.
It was a simple breakfast. There were some slices of sandwiches, two bowls of fruits and two glasses of milk on the table. It seemed like Louis lived a quite simple and healthy life.
Louis noticed that the breakfast might be too plain, so he said hastily, "I normally don't stay in this villa, so there's no housekeeper. I made these by myself and it's a little too simple. I hope it's ok."
Wanda smiled, "Of course it's ok. I like simple breakfast."
Louis was finally relieved and nodded.
They were quite silent at the table. After a while, he began a conversation, "About that jerk, how do you wanna deal with him?"
Wanda froze. She lowered her head and took a bite of the sandwich.
"Let him go."
"Let him go?"
Louis was astonished.
Wanda sighed and said, "He comes from the Bissel family. They want a marriage between their family and ours. I don't wanna get into this. Normally, the Kawn family didn't give a crap about my parents and I. I don't know why they chose me. But I won't compromise. As for Blake... he has already been arrested. It's their problem now. If the Bissel family want to bail him out, then it's no use for me to hold on to that."
Louis looked gloomy and didn't say anything more. He just nodded and reply, "Ok then."
After breakfast, Louis drove her home.
On the way, they didn't communicate. Wanda sensed that something was strange with Louis. He was either frowning or clenching his fists. He seemed to hold something back.
Wanda was curious and asked, "Louis, is there something you wanna say to me?"
Though he was kind of awkward, he nodded and took a deep breath, "Don't worry about last night, that jerk can never lay a finger on you ever again."
