Elizabeth took out a thermos bottle from the bag on her hand, "I've made chicken soup for Master
Howard."
"Our father is in poor health and the doctor advised him to eat a bland diet.Such greasy food like
chicken soup is not allowed" William replied lightly.
"Then you can take it, for your hard work on taking care of father!" Elizabeth laughed.
"I don't like it. You can keep it for my brother, your husband " William refused.
Elizabeth felt embarrassed to be so directly rejected by William.
She had no choice but to change the topic, "What did the doctor say our dad should have? Next time I'll
cook something our dad likes and send it over."
"Something light as the doctor said.But I've ordered someone to make breakfast for father, so don't
bother."
Though Elizabeth invited a snub, she didn't get angry.
A mild reply still, "Then that will count on you, William."
William nodded, "I'm glad to be of help of my own father!"
Then Valeria sent a message asking what he was doing.
He replied, "I'm working."
"Are you free at noon? Shall we have lunch together? I'd like to cook your lunch myself"
Another message from Valeria.
The corners of William's mouth curled up in a tender smile .
He had such a great smile.
No wonder so many women fall for him.
William Howard did have a fatal attraction in such a rakish appearance.
Elizabeth put out a feeler, "Girlfriend, ha?"
"Yeah." William replied faintly.
"Which family does the young lady come from? You two must look good together.When will you
introduce her to us?" Elizabeth put on airs.
After ending the text with "Okay”
William Howard looked away from the phone and looked back at Elizabeth with a polite fake smile.
"We're fine, thank you.Why don't you pay more attention to Andrew? He needs a girlfriend more.You
should keep watching him instead of me!"
When William mentioned Andrew Howard, Elizabeth forced a smile and said, "He probably won't listen
to me.And, he's abroad now..."
"He'll be back soon.After all, this country is his home.He can't stay abroad for ever! ' William put in a
word.
"Who said that?"
Elizabeth was surprised to hear that Andrew Howard was coming back.
"He told me in a call himself.So my dear brother didn't tell you that?"
William stared at Elizabeth with a cold smile.
William's cold manner made Elizabeth squirm.
It was as if the man in front of her could read her mind, which caused Elizabeth to flee the room after a
few words.
William caught a glimpse of Elizabeth's worried expression and a sneer crossed his face., "When the
fox preaches, people should take care of their geese.You probably think yourself as the smartest
person in the world, right, Elizabeth Eich?"
A sneer came over his face as he got up from the sofa and started out.
At the entrance, he ordered the bodyguards, "If Elizabeth comes to the hospital in the future, don't let
her in.If she asks why, tell her it's Master Howard's order"
The bodyguard said "Yes, sir".
Then William looked at the nurse, "Please take good care of my father.I have something to take care
of.I'll be back this afternoon"
Bob was coming back for lunch, so Valeria went shopping at a nearby supermarket.
She bought fish and shrimp, which Bob liked, and chicken as well.
While at the supermarket, however, Valeria felt she was being watched.
Valeria had become more alert since she got kidnapped last time.
She did the shopping with a stiff upper lip kept while she was secretly observed the people behind her.
And she finally found something wrong that two people were following her within a certain distance.
A young tall man with sunglasses and a middle-aged heavy-jowled man.
Valeria hurried out of the supermarket and started her car for home.
From the rear view mirror, the two men who had just followed her were driving a car respectively
behind her.
They were from two groups? So did the other side whatever Valeria sped up or slow down.
Valeria became worried that she sent a voice message to Bob, "I noticed two men following me all the
time!"
She got a reply in a second, "I'll be back soon.Calm down and go home directly.The security of the
apartment is very strict, and they can't enter!"
Valeria sped up into Lake View Nest.
In the rear view mirror, she saw that the two cars tracing her slow down and stop on the opposite side
of Lake View Nest.
Bob was right.
The security of Lake View Nest was very strict, and the two men did not dare to follow in.
With a sigh of relief, she drove downstairs and returned to the apartment with the ingredients.
Valeria made some dishes following the tutorial.
She found herself talented in cook.
Because she was able to cook with ease after only a few practice given that she never cooked before.
The dishes tasted good.
She put the dishes on the table, and William came back at the moment.
William put on a smile as soon as he went through the door, "It smells good.Looks like you're getting
better at cooking!"
"Yeah, I discovered that I had a talent for cooking, and maybe I would open a restaurant in the future"
Bob reached out and squished her face, "I don't think it is a good idea.I don't want my girl to get too
much publicity.From now on, you can only cook for me, you got it?"
"Pfft!"
Valeria rolled her eyes at Bob, wondering why he had been so tacky lately.
She served in a dish for Bob.
"Well, thank you for the fireworks last night.It must cost a lot, right? The money...How did you get the
money?"
Calmly, William took a bite of the chicken.
Looking at Valeria's nervous expression, he smiled, "It costs me no penny!"
"No penny? What do you mean?"
Valeria looked at Bob.
"I mean, I gave you a fireworks show without spending a penny."
William lied with a calm smile.
"Marcus, you know, the CEO, recently planned to buy a fireworks factory, and he wanted to test the
fireworks and have them test them on site.And I talked to him to help me with my plans on making my
girlfriend happy by making it on the beach and adding some words"
"Is this all?"
Valeria didn't really buy it, "But I didn't see Marcus or anyone else there?"
"He doesn't check such little things out himself.The others had to leave for fear of accidents" William
lied again.
He was not afraid that the lie would be found out.
At the worst, he would ask Marcus to buy a fireworks factory.
Valeria frowned, "So you didn't borrow money to set off fireworks? Let me know if you really did it.You
know I hate liars the most!"
"No.Nobody would lend money to me except for you, babe "
William held Valeria's hand, "Relax, I won't borrow money from others.For now, I don't owe anyone
except you.His prim manner convinced Valeria that he hadn't borrowed any money, but the thought that
Marcus had arranged the fireworks made her sick.Marcus seemed to agree to his every request, which
was incredible for Valeria.Why would a senior leader of the company be so good to a driver?
"So Marcus wants Bob for real?"
