Noticing that she was being teased by William in front of Abbie and Richard, Valeria was extremely speechless.
She shook William's hand away and changed a seat.
The smile on William's face disappeared.
Richard had known him for so many years and he understood him better.
Of course, William was not so shameless.
He already put down his ego to be so nice to Valeria today and yet she gave him a cold shoulder.
Of course, William would be unhappy! He picked up a bottle of wine and poured some for William, "You like barbecue, don't you? Eat more!"
William remained silent as he lowered his head to eat.
He drank a lot of wine speedily but didn't really eat much.
Seeing that he kept drinking, Richard reached out to stop him, "Hey, don't drink too much.It's bad for your health, you know?"
"I'm fine” William drank another glass of wine.
Richard looked at Valeria and said, "Miss Brown, please talk to him.He doesn't have a good stomach and he's gonna end up in the hospital!"
This was clearly a way to soften her heart.
Valeria didn't want to persuade him at all, but she was worried that he would hurt himself.
After some consideration, she reached out to snatch the cup from William's hand.
It seemed that she was actually concerned for his health.
William didn't protest and he just leaned lazily on the chair.
All the while, he kept staring at Valeria intensely without eating or drinking.
Richard got up and left to answer a phone call.
In a few minutes, Abbie's phone rang too.
Richard had called and asked her to go out.
Therefore, only Valeria and William were left here.
The atmosphere was awkward at this point.
Valeria didn't know how to act when William was staring at her in that manner.
She stopped and looked at him stiffly, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Because you are beautiful."
"Humph!"
Valeria snorted.
She then thought it would be nice to make things clear with him.
"Thank you for helping me today..."
"It's nothing.I'm doing what I should do"
William interrupted her.
"I won't let anyone bully you!"
"Actually, my affairs have nothing to do with you! I'll deal with my own issues in the future, so you don't have to help me"
"Why not?"
"Because we have broken up! I don't want others to misunderstand that we are still in a relationship: "Break up? Did I agree with that? You promised me that we will never part ways!"
"That's because I don't know who you are.I was telling William, not you!"
"I am William! What are you talking about!"
"This is different.I used to think you were a gigolo and did some stupid things, but now I know that you're not.We're all grown adults and I know that you enjoy womanizing and trying new things.I'm sorry.I'm not that kind of woman.Everything that happened before is a misunderstanding.Just treat it as if it has never happened then!"
The corners of William's mouth twitched, "You're looking down on me, aren't you? You think I'm good for nothing, playboy! Valeria, I can change it for you.Isn't that enough?
"We'll talk about it after you change.Aren't you still the same now?"
