Wynn could no longer bear to make fun of Michelle anymore after he saw her plead with innocent eyes. In the end, he gave in, and the three of them had dinner in the Seafood Restaurant.
However, when Wynn overheard the waiter saying that James would pay for the meal, he got angry again.
On their way back, he didn't speak to Michelle at all.
Lydia went back to school while Michelle continued to coax Wynn. She bought him a lollipop and milk tea to please him. She had a cute innocent look, capable of softening people's hearts.
If he didn't forgive her, he would no longer consider himself a sensible man.
Wynn sighed in resignation. "All right, I'm not angry anymore. But I don't want to eat a lollipop or drink the milk tea."
"But I've already bought them! It'd be a waste if you don't eat them." Michelle held a cup of milk tea in one hand and a lollipop in the other as she looked at him with her big round eyes.
"You can eat them yourself." As soon as Michelle heard it, her face lit up, and she nodded in excitement. She grabbed the straw and immediately took a sip of milk tea.
"This tastes so good! Red bean milk tea is my favorite." Her eyes squinted in delight.
However, Wynn sensed that something was wrong.
As Michelle was about to take a sip, she sensed the hostile look that Wynn was throwing at her. She stopped drinking the milk tea and turned to him.
"Would you like some?" She passed the milk tea to him.
"You want me to drink the one you has already sipped? Are you genuinely offering this to me?" Wynn knew what she was thinking.
She knew that he wasn't a fan of either lollipops or milk tea, so she chose to buy things she liked. After all, she would be the one who would eat them.
She was so clever.
Michelle pursed her lips and pointed back. "How about I buy you another cup of milk tea?"
Wynn hissed. Michelle didn't know if that meant yes. After thinking for a while, she whispered, "The only reason I drank this was because you didn't want it."
Wynn was at a loss for words. 'So, this is my fault now?'
Wynn rolled his eyes. "What do you want from me?"
Michelle's heart skipped a beat. She averted her eyes away from him. "It's just..."
"You're a terrible liar," Wynn interrupted her. "I knew it! You want to ask me something, don't you? It has something to do with Leon, right?"
After a long silence, Michelle nodded.
She cast her eyes downwards and couldn't bear to look straight into Wynn's eyes. She was amazed by how he knew what she was thinking just with a single glance.
She didn't want Leon to know that she liked him, let alone others.
It was a secret, and no one should know about it ever.
"If you want to ask me something, just ask it. However, that doesn't mean I'm going to answer you." Even though Wynn was acting casual, in reality, he was careful.
He wasn't sure if Leon had accidentally exposed something that would've given Michelle a clue about Leon's real identity. If she were to ask this, he wouldn't be telling her the truth.
Michelle want to get to know Leon. This made Wynn feel relieved. He knew that love started when someone took the initiative to know the other person. Finally, there was progress.
He wished the two of them would fall in love as soon as possible. This way, even if Valerie came back, Leon would no longer try to rekindle their relationship.
Anyway, it didn't matter who Leon's lover would be. As long as it wasn't Valerie.
Wynn's hatred for Valerie never dwindled. He never let go of the grudge he held over her for many years and longed for the day that Valerie would finally get her comeuppance.
He was the type of person who didn't reciprocate resentment with kindness.
