Better Life Without You. novel Chapter 150

While she was lost in her own thoughts, she heard the voices of the counselors discussing in low voices next door.

"Oh right, her son is not coming to school today either."

"I heard. It's probably because his mother quit her job. He can't cover the sky in school with one hand anymore."

"I wish he could resign."

"That's right, his mother has already left. What is he still doing here? How annoying is he?"

As the two of them spoke, they chuckled softly.

She slightly frowned and shook her head, no longer thinking about anything else.

When the department's competition was over, she took a few of her students away from the field.

Benjamin Walton walked beside Laura and said in a low voice, "Laura, if our school can win this competition, help me out with something."

She looked at him, "What do you want? "

"Anyway, this is something that you can do."

"Why do I feel like you're trying to trick me?"

"How could that be? I could trick anyone but I don't dare to plotting against William's people. If William knows about this, then the one who's going to suffer in the end would be me. Don't worry, I'm making a deal with you in a reasonable manner."

"Then let's talk after you successfully enter the basketball team and win the competition. "

"You have to agree to my condition. Otherwise, I won't be coming to the tournament tomorrow at noon."

She stared at him. "You're threatening me, kid."

"I can do this only when my brother is not around. Laura, quickly promise me, don't worry, you definitely could do it. We are all family, so I will not make things difficult for you."

She thought about it and said, "Then... Go for it."

Benjamin Walton was pleased: "Just wait and see."

After he finished speaking, he quickly caught up to his classmates and left.

After work in the afternoon, as she walked towards the school gate, she dialed William Walton's number: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Anything you treat me."

"Aren't you very picky? If it's too expensive, I can't afford it. It's not like you can look down on roadside stalls."

"As long as it's not a roadside stall and has a private room, it's ok."

"Why do you need a room?"

"Recently, my reputation has been pretty good. If you're not afraid of being filmed, then I will be fine."

After thinking about it, she smiled mischievously, "I won't eat in the private room. I'll send you the address later. Come look for me."

She hung up the phone and went to the door to get Mike in the car.

"Mike, let's not go home. We need to go to a restaurant on the backside of the sea. I know the way. I'll show you."

"Alright Miss Green."

William Walton followed the address that Laura gave and arrived at the entrance of a dark restaurant.

He smiled and walked in.

The waiter enthusiastically welcomed them, "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

"Miss Green's reservation. Number 3, she has arrived."

"Okay, please put your hand on my shoulder, Mister. I will bring you in," the waiter said as he put on the night vision goggles and led William Walton through the two doors.

William Walton looked around: "Hmm, that means, this place is indeed very suitable for a confession, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Me?" Laura was puzzled for a moment.

After all she had said, he could not have mistaken that she had invited him here because she wanted to confess.

"I invited you to dinner."

"It seems that you don't plan to confess to me. That's just perfect. I'll confess to you."

He smiled charmingly, "Although you have heard these words many times, I still have to say it a few more times. I want to marry you and let you become my legitimate Mrs. Walton. Are you willing?"

Just as he finished speaking, the lights in the restaurant suddenly lit up.

After being pierced by the light beam for a moment, William Walton frowned and looked towards her.

At this moment, Laura also looked at him with wide eyes.

He smirked. "How about it? Do you want to hold my hand or leave?"

She looked at him with her conflicted gaze.

These were things that he had never seen before.

William Walton raised his eyebrows, and moved forward: "Laura, do you dare to admit it, do you like me a little now? Hmm?"

The lights went out, and she closed her eyes and exhaled gently.

William Walton laughed: "You didn't leave. It seems that you intend to accept me."

"I just haven't finished my meal. William Walton, don't be bored, hurry up and eat."

William Walton moved the steak he had just sliced, and naturally placed it in front of her, bringing her steak to his side.

"Laura, our bet is too long. I believe that I can take you down in less than half a year. Do you believe me?"
