Never Blinded by Love (Linda and Wilson) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 

“You’re going on a business trip?” Willian asked. 

“Yeah,” Linda answered. 

“Why didn’t I hear about this?” 

“Why would it matter to someone as busy as you, Mr. Wilson?” Linda replied with a hint of sarcasm in her 

voice. “I thought you never cared about these things.” 

Jimmy stifled a laugh. Perhaps considering Linda’s words a bit harsh and unaware of their shared history, he remarked, “Linda, you can’t expect everyone to put up with you like I do. Not everyone is going to 

pamper you.” 

“Mr. Cole, this is between Linda and me. Stay out of it,” William said sternly. 

“And why should he stay out of it?” Linda looked at him. “He’s my boyfriend now. What? Did something he said offend you?” 

William, of course, didn’t dare to say a word. Inside, he was burning with jealousy but could only watch helplessly. 

When the waiter served the food, they noticed an additional guest at the table and promptly brought an 

extra set of cutlery. 

Linda and Jimmy chatted while they ate, and William just watched. He couldn’t follow their conversation, and Linda would go silent whenever he tried to join in. 

Not wanting to spoil the mood, William chose to stay quiet, even though compromising wasn’t his usual approach. 

After slipping on disposable gloves, Linda began peeling shrimp. William quickly put on gloves too and peeled a whole plate of shrimp for her. However, she couldn’t muster a smile. 

“You don’t mind that not all of these were peeled by me, do you?” she asked, placing the shrimp onto Jimmy’s plate before William. 

Jimmy ate them without a second thought, but William looked confused. 

*No wonder Mr. Wilson is the ex, Jimmy quipped. 

Upon hearing that, William’s face darkened. 

Jimmy served Linda some ratatouille. “Mr. Wilson, didn’t you know Linda is allergic to shrimp?” 

His words hit William like a punch in t

“Linda, you must have been pretty blind to things back then,” Jimmy said. 

Linda didn’t deny it. “You can’t expect me to have had the same level of judgment when I was young and

inexperienced as I do today, can you?” 

William’s heart sank with every word he heard in their conversation. It dawned on him how much of a jerk he had been, never paying attention to anything Linda did. 

After that, he sat through the meal without eating or speaking a word.
