Better Life Without You. novel Chapter 56

William Walton walked to her side and handed the flower to her: "Congratulations, the defense is over."

She extended her hand and received the flower. "Thank you."

"Why are you so weak? Did you fail? In my opinion, you will never fail. "

She tried her best to control her emotions. She pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't say anything.

William Walton frowned: "Looks like you are really sad. What happened?"

He was the first person that could tell from her expression that she had something on her mind.

The more painful the situation was, the more she would disguise herself because she didn't know what to do. She would make herself look no different from an ordinary person.

Mother once said, the strongest thing in the world is not steel, but the human's heart.

How strong your heart is, how strong you can be.

Mom also said, do not let people easily see your weakness, that way, you will become very easy to bully.

The cell phone in her bag rang.

She lowered her head and opened her bag before taking out her phone to take a look.

Seeing that it was Avery Harris, she immediately hung up and threw it back into her bag.

She still hadn't decided how to face him.

William Walton raised his eyebrows, "Are you not going to answer the phone?"

"I don't want to."

She took a deep breath. "Thank you for the flowers. I'll go back first."

She was about to go into the house.

William Walton tugged on her wrist. "What happened and who bullied you?"

His voice was so authoritative that she couldn't help but look back at him.

Seeing the mist in her eyes flicker, he frowned, "Tell me, if you don't speak, no one can help you."

She raised her delicate and beautiful eyes. "Can I use your embrace?"

With that, she stepped forward, holding the flower in one hand and putting her other hand around his waist. She then pressed her cheek against his shoulder.

She thought that if she continued to be alone, she would go crazy.

She forced herself to calm down in his arms.

His arms were so warm, so warm.

"William Walton, can you touch my head and tell me, it's okay?"

William Walton lowered his head to look at her who was in his embrace and felt an indescribable pain in his heart.

He put one hand around her waist, the other gently stroking her hair, his chin resting on her head. "With me here, everything will be ok."

Her heart shrank, and tears finally welled up in her eyes.

Yes, if her mother was still alive, she would comfort her in the way.

If Dad... It was just an ordinary father who loved her. In this case, he would probably tell her, 'Don't be afraid, I'll be there for you no matter what happens.'

It's okay, it's going to be okay.

She turned her head slightly and rubbed her eyes against his chest.

She didn't want anyone to see her tears.

However, in front of him, she couldn't control herself.

The phone in her bag rang again.

He wanted to pry open her head and see what was in it.

"I think you've become a nerd because of studying. Have you never thought that I could help you? Don't forget, I still owe you a favor."

Laura Green knew these words were very alluring.

However, she knew clearly in her heart that her relationship with William Walton must end.

If they continued to pester like this, it would only get more and more chaotic.

She had never asked for anyone's consolation, but in front of William Walton, she unconsciously did so.

She had to admit that this was a charming man. He could easily make her let down her guard.

What would happen after she let the guard down?

She was afraid that she would get hurt in the future, so she chose to retreat to her original position and protect herself.

She looked at him with alienation in her eyes, "You don't owe me anything. Just as you said, I was the one who took the initiative that night. I won't use my mistake to make you pay. I'll still say, William Walton, please keep getting away from me.

If you think that I am different from the girls you know so want to hunt me down like prey, then please give up that idea because I will never play this game with you. During my whole life, I don't want to have anything to do with rich people like you. "

Hearing her words, William Walton twisted his head and laughed, the performance of this woman could not be more obvious.

She did despise him.

However, this little girl had overestimated herself.

Could it be that if she told him to give up, he would give up?

What a joke, he was William Walton.

He hugged his chest and laughed calmly: "The reason why you are so resistant to rich people and me, is it because of the Anderson family?"

She frowned. It had been a long time since he mentioned the Anderson family. Why did he ...

"What, are you afraid that your status as an illegitimate daughter of the Anderson family will be discovered?"
