Fluffy Zane’s eyes sparkled with tension as she tightly clung to her hand, "Can you be my boyfriend?"
William Guillen was evidently unprepared for her to say this, and at the instance, he didn’t know how to respond.
Silence erupted between them.
The warmth and smile on Fluffy Zane’s face gradually faded away.
Still not possible?
He still couldn’t agree?
"Forget it, let’s pretend I never said anything." Fluffy Zane lowered her eyelids in disappointment and shrugged, pretending to be at ease, her tone light and breezy, "William Guillen, take me back home."
"Alright."
William Guillen supported her as they walked out.
On the way back to the Zane Family, Fluffy Zane quietly observed the man focused on driving.
This man she had loved for eight years hadn’t changed much.
If there had to be any change, it would be that he grew from a man into a true man.
The masculine aura from him was increasingly strong, increasingly manly, matured and stable, and increasingly attractive to women.
She withdrew her gaze in disappointment, dejectedly lowering her head, annoyed with herself for not listening to Sophie Sullivan at that time.
Why did she pretend to be lofty enough not to need his gratitude, and now, having missed the opportunity, wanting to be with him was still as hard as scaling the heavens.
Safely sending her back to the Zane Family, William Guillen helped her out of the car, "Need me to help you in?"
"No need, I can do it myself." Fluffy Zane also had her worries; if he went inside, he would inevitably lose points in her mother’s mind.
William Guillen didn’t insist, simply nodded, and advised her, "Be careful and watch your legs."
Fluffy Zane leaned on the crutch, slowly took two steps, and then turned her head back, asking stubbornly, "William Guillen, aren’t you really considering my words?"
Their gazes met in the sky, Fluffy Zane stubbornly refused to admit defeat, William Guillen looked at her for what seemed like a long time, before nodding imperceptibly under her gaze.
Fluffy Zane blinked in disbelief, full of joy as she said, "You agreed?!"
"I will consider it."
For Fluffy Zane, him being willing to consider was already the greatest news!
Therefore, her demands weren’t high, as long as he considers.
She nodded enthusiastically, her lips blossoming into a radiant smile, bright as summer flowers, "Drive safely, see you."
William Guillen nodded with a smile.
Watching her being helped back into the villa by the servant, only then did William Guillen get back into the car and leave.
Car window rolled down, his elbow rested on the car window, fingertips pinching a cigarette, occasionally taking a deep draw.
Most of the time, his facial color was heavy, with clouds of worry hanging between his brows.
...
Country F.
"Young Master, the maniac is here."
Thomas Shannon nodded lightly, "Go get her."
Charlie River nodded in response, "Yes, Young Master."
Sophie Sullivan got off the car with Harry in her arms and saw Charlie River, his face adorned with a standard smile, "Maniac, good evening."
Sophie Sullivan pouted, her gaze swept over him to look behind him, "Where’s Thomas Shannon?"
"Young Master is taking a bath, so he sent me to get you."
Sophie Sullivan: "..."
Bath...
Why did Sophie Sullivan hear those two words in such a wicked way...
She awkwardly coughed lightly, touching Harry’s head with one hand, "Lead the way."
"Maniac, this way please."
Back to the hotel suite, Sophie Sullivan assessed the layout briefly, in a while, a tall figure emerged from inside the bedroom.
The man’s lean waist was loosely wrapped with a bath towel, as he wiped his hair with a white towel in one hand.
