Better Life Without You. novel Chapter 64

Laura immediately jumped away from him and turned back to him: "William Walton, if you dare to do this again, I will go."

He looked at her blushing face and did not make a fuss. He sat down and looked at the food in the lunchbox.

Crabmeat, braised beef, and vegetable salad.

"This too much."

"Of course, since I owe you, I have to thank you well."

She was the one who wanted to pay the bill last night, but when she went to pay, the waiter said that William Walton had shares in the restaurant and that it would be free for lunch.

She asked him why he didn't tell her in advance.

He said, "I was afraid to disturb your sincerity when I saw how devout you were in mourning for your purse."

At that time, she hated him.

After all, she ate with a painful heart. She didn't have a fine taste of the wine, nor did she have a good taste of the dishes.

When she finished her meal and went downstairs, she first walked to the 34th floor before taking the elevator back to the 12th floor.

Standing in the elevator, she gave an inexplicable smile. If she thought about it carefully, wasn't this supposed to be a clandestine love affair?

Getting off work at night, she politely rejected William Walton's request to send her home. She went downstairs alone and took the bus home.

Arriving at the entrance of the district, she saw Nick Anderson.

He walked over warmly and was a little surprised. "Brother, why are you here?"

"I know your defense is over, and I've been looking for time to congratulate you, but the last two days have been too busy."

She chuckled. "You're busy. It's not a big deal."

"To me, this is a very memorable event." He pointed at his car. "Come, get in. I will take you to celebrate."

"Where are you going?"

"Go eat," he said, pushing her from behind and sending her to the car before driving her to dinner.

When Nick Anderson finished ordering the dishes, the waiter left the private room.

He said, "Laura, do you want to stay in school as a teacher? How was it? Did you get any results?"

She nodded. "Yes, the name list has already been passed down. A student from our department will stay with me."

"Must you do this? Auntie is no longer here. You don't have to do this for her dream. "

She shrugged, smiled, and said nothing.

"Laura, why don't you come to my company? I'll give you a position, and in the future, we will always be together so that we can look out for each other. You don't have to worry about Betty Anderson and my mother, they will be ok with that."

She shook her head firmly and said, "Brother, please spare me. You know that I'm not good with the Anderson family."

"But dad is your father after all, so why don't you just say yes, we will forever be family."

"I wouldn't do that," she said, shaking her head firmly. "I don't have a father."

"Laura your dad's heart isn't completely devoid of you. You ..."

"Brother, if you continue on this topic, then I will go back," she said with a serious expression. "I told you, don't talk about family matters between us."

Nick Anderson sighed, and just as he was about to say something, he saw John Anderson being pushed in by a waiter.

He stood up and frowned, "Dad, Mom, why are you guys here?"

The father and daughter were the only ones left in the room. They sat down. Laura moved their gazes to the side.

John Anderson looked at her.

"Mr. Anderson, don't beat around the bush. You and I aren't suited to playing with those provocative things."

"Laura Anderson." John Anderson was unhappy.

She said, "Forget it, I won't correct you in any way. Just speak."

"What exactly is going on between you and William Walton?"

"It's my business."

"He's targeting the Anderson family. Did you instigate him?"

She pursed her lips and thought for a moment. "Who knows, maybe ...Right."

"You ...It's a waste of time. If you hate us, just come at us. Don't play these little tricks. Your mother will be disappointed if she were alive while you're in such a state of self-indulgence."

"As I said, don't mention my mother."

"Your mother is not a bad person."

"Of course," she said, looking at him with a face full of resentment. "She's just a blind fool who's been cheated for her entire life."

John Anderson frowned and looked away: "Laura, there are some things that aren't as simple as you think. I also have my difficulties."

"I've already told you, it's not suitable for us to invite each other." She stood up. "If you're done with what you want to say, then can I leave now?"

Seeing that she was about to leave, he said: "Leave William Walton, I have arranged for a man who suits you, find a time to meet him, if it's suitable, marry him and leave Philadelphia."
