Understanding the hidden meaning in his words, Edward Benson just smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Watching the two leave, the smile on Edward Benson’s face gradually disappeared from the corner of his mouth.
Once again, loneliness submerged in his eyes.
William Guillen supported Fluffy Zane as they left the medical office. Due to her leg injury, Fluffy Zane walked slowly, and William Guillen slowed his pace to match hers.
An awkwardness lingered between them.
Fluffy Zane used her leg pain as an excuse to call him, and he anxiously brought her to the medical office. In the end, the doctor said she was recovering well.
Fluffy Zane felt an awkwardness, like being caught lying face-to-face.
Fluffy Zane walked slower and slower, and William Guillen simply stopped, his brow slightly furrowed, "What’s wrong, does your leg hurt again?"
The word "again" was truly ironic.
Fluffy Zane lowered her head, her face burning, "It doesn’t hurt..."
"If it doesn’t hurt, why did you stop?"
"I..." Fluffy Zane suddenly lifted her head, throwing caution to the wind, "Yes, I said my leg hurt as an excuse, I was lying to you, I just wanted to see you."
William Guillen smiled playfully, "I thought your lying skills were top-notch, turns out they’re so easy to see through."
"But you still believed me, didn’t you?" Fluffy Zane gazed at him, her eyes dazzled by his smile, and her mood became lighter because of his charming grin.
The previous awkwardness and heaviness vanished completely.
"Yes, even though you lied, I still believed you." William Guillen nodded to himself, releasing her hand, and rubbed his chin with one hand, "So, next time you speak, I won’t easily believe it."
"Why?" Fluffy Zane panicked. Just because of one lie, he won’t believe her words in the future?
She said she liked him, loved him, but that was true!
Truer than gold and silver!
William Guillen extended his index finger, poking her forehead, "Because you have a previous record, so my trust in you is temporarily gone."
"William Guillen, you can’t do that." Fluffy Zane hastily grabbed his hand, looking angry to defend herself, "I just missed you too much, that was my last resort. If you want to blame anyone, trace it back to the source, you should blame yourself."
William Guillen was amused, hooking the corner of his mouth, looking at her with a roguish air, "You’re lying, yet it’s my fault? That’s really strange, Fluffy Zane, does saying this make you blush? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?"
Fluffy Zane snorted, her cheeks puffing up, "My conscience doesn’t hurt, but you, Young Master Guillen, Mr. William Guillen, what’s the meaning of avoiding me? I even went to your house, so why did you leave?"
Speaking of that day, the smile on William Guillen’s face froze; there was no good explanation for that.
At that time, he left simply because he didn’t want any more entanglements.
Who would have thought she would actively come looking for him, or that she would demand to see him in such a pitiable way?
Not wanting any more entanglements, yet entangled once again.
Oh well.
After all, she is his life-saving benefactor, not just an ordinary person standing in front of him.
William Guillen lowered his head, letting out an almost inaudible sigh, then raised his head again, a smile once more forming at the corner of his lips, "Alright, my fault, consider me at a disadvantage."
"It was your fault all along, it was your mistake from the start."
"Okay, Miss Zane, what kind of compensation do you want? As long as it’s not too difficult, I’ll agree to it."
