President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 753

So last night she made up her mind that today she would find an opportunity to apologize to Donald in person.

Bella grinned at the thought.

“Donald, I’m here to talk to you, not Mr. Bissel.”

Donald froze.

He was a little surprised.

“Me?”

“Yeah, yeah.” As Bella spoke, she unconsciously linked her arm through his. However, Donald averted it cleverly.

Donald stepped back and bent slightly. “Miss Collins, I’m a servant and you are a guest. Please don’t put me on the spot.”

Bella’s hands froze in the air.

At first, she thought that he was old and wanted to treat him as she had treated her grandparents.

She wanted to be nice and friendly to him by getting closer.

In her opinion, a man of Donald’s rank would already be married, and his grandchildren would probably be her age. In doing so, maybe Donald would forgive she showed enough kindness.

She didn’t expect him to refuse her help - she was trying to help him down the stairs so she reached out to his arm.

Although he looked hale and hearty, he was nearly seventy years old. God knew if he might fall down the stairs.

However, his reaction dismayed her.

She couldn’t comprehend his attitude, because he was wary of her like a virus.

Did he despise her or fear that she had bad intentions?

He must be going soft in the head!

Even if she failed to get Felix’s favor, she was not going to hook up with an old man!

She wondered why he flattered himself and put on such an air of dignity.

Bella, not daring to show her rage otherwise, forced a smile.

“Donald, don’t get me wrong. I was just trying to help you downstairs.”

Though she smiled, there was a flicker of malice in her eyes.

“You freaking old man! How dare you look down upon me.”

“We’ll see.” she thought to herself.

Her words were a deliberate attempt to embarrass Donald.

Implicit in her words was that compared to Donald, she was more open-minded and aboveboard.

To her surprise, Donald nodded to her and said, “Miss Collins, I appreciate your kindness. But having lived here for decades, I already know every step like the back of my hand. So don’t bother!”

“Instead, you are a guest here. So don’t wander around if you don’t have to.”

“After all, you come from a good family, so you should watch your manner so as not to bring disgrace on your family.”

The smile on Bella’s face disappeared when she heard his words.

Although his manners were decent, his tone was tinged with irony.

She knew he meant that as a guest she’d better not poke her nose into other people’s business and wander around.

However, why would she be here if it wasn’t to apologize to him? Didn’t she suffer enough humiliation in front of Felix yesterday?

What an unreasonable person!
