Better Life Without You. novel Chapter 52

When William Walton said this, Laura almost choked on her saliva.

This person ... he made bigger trouble to help her out of the predicament.

This was pushing her into another pit.

And it was even bigger than the previous one.

The reason why she had agreed with helping him today was mere that she wanted him to keep his mouth shut.

Things were even more chaotic.

Benjamin Walton was pleasantly surprised, standing up from the table and clapping his hands: "Look, I'll say it, there's something wrong with the atmosphere between you two."

William Walton glanced at him sideways: "What are you so excited for, sit down."

"I'm happy," Benjamin Walton said as he sat down, "William, no wonder you never cared about me studying. But in this past month, you came over so many times to my place with no reason. Now I know why."

William Walton smiled and did not say a word.

There was no place for her to put her embarrassed face.

She stood up, "That ... I think it's getting late, so I need to hurry back to finish my paper. Otherwise, I'll have to stay up late again tonight.

She turned around and was about to leave when William Walton grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

Because of his tugging, she spun around and sat on his lap.

She blushed and was about to stand up when he held her by the waist. "You can leave after you finish eating. I'll send you back."

"I am on a diet."

"You're already very thin, I don't agree," he said, and then smiled lovingly, "Do you want me to feed you, or do you want to eat by yourself?"

She looked at him and sighed. "I'll eat."

She got down from his lap and sat down.

The three of them drank wine while she and Carol Wright ate.

Carol Wright observed her from time to time, just like last time.

She was embarrassed and avoided Carol Wright's gaze from the beginning.

In the end, she simply raised her eyes and looked at her too.

After all, Carol Wright had started it first.

The two of them looked at each other, and Carol Wright laughed.

"William, you have good tastes, Miss Green is very beautiful."

"Yes, of course, she's pretty. She's the prettiest girl in the entire university in the past years, and she's also a bookworm. The most important thing is that her personality is very good, I like it."

Being praised like this, she felt quite good.

Although it was just an act, no one disliked listening to nice words.

Jack Walton put down his chopsticks and wiped the corner of his mouth, "So I still felt that it was too far away to attend to your wedding, but now it seems... it will be soon."

Benjamin Walton was puzzled, "What's going on? Did I overhear something? What does Jack mean? William, are you going to get married? "

William Walton laughed: "it all depends on her. After all, I'm already this age and am already prepared. I can get married anytime, as long as Miss Green agrees."

The entire table's gaze fell onto the warm face.

She almost choked by the words.

He handed her a glass of water.

She took a sip of water and swallowed the food in her mouth.

Did this man see that she was easy to bully and didn't finish it?

It was obvious that he could avoid this question with a single sentence, but the more he spoke, the more confused the situation became.

Alright, since he likes to mess things up, then she will do the same things.

He wasn't afraid of not being able to finish well in the end, so why should she be afraid of that? After all, this wasn't her family.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled, her smile like a crescent moon. She said in a clear voice, "Isn't it fashionable to get married right after graduation? I'm also ready. We can go get a certificate at any time. I'll be Ok tomorrow."

Did he think that she was a soft bun that he could pinch as he pleased?

If the existence of Laura Green could solve the problem between him, Jack, and Carol, it would be a good thing.

He put down the wine cup and asked Laura, "How is it, are you full yet?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll send you back." He got up and put down his handkerchief.

She felt that she had been granted amnesty and quickly got up: "Mr. Walton, Miss Wright, Benjamin, you guys enjoy the meal. I'll leave first."

"Alright, after you finish eating, go back to your own homes. I will be staying at Miss Green's place tonight and will not be coming back."

After pausing for a moment, she gritted his teeth. Damn it, she had been defeated again.

After everyone bid their farewells to her, William Walton brought her out of the hall and left.

"Shit, I forgot. Jack Walton, Carol Wright, wait for me for a while, I still have something to say to Miss Green."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly chased after them.

Once he left, only Jack Walton and Carol Wright remained in the living room.

The two of them looked at each other, speechless.

Carol Wright lifted her wine cup and took a sip.

Jack Walton looked at her, his expression is cold.

She smiled. "Now, you can be relaxed."

"I can relax. I don't need to worry about my little brother's marriage anymore."

He looked at her as he spoke: "I think this time, he is serious, I have never seen it before. Did you see the indulgence in his eyes towards the Miss Green?"

Carol Wright bit her lips and placed her wine cup down, "I want to go home now."

He smiled. "Alright, let's go home."

At the door, Benjamin chased after him and called out to William Walton who was about to close the car door: "William, wait a moment."

He ran over and pressed on the door, lowering his head to look at Laura that was already sitting inside the car: "I wish you a successful defense, Laura."
