Chapter 291

Wounded, he said, "Your current partner is right here, but you keep staring at your ex. Consider how that can be a bit humiliating for me, could you?

Emelle bamed around and said, "I don't remember agreeing to be your girlfriend, Mr. Davis

"What I mean by "partner" does not have to be about being romantically entangled. I'm just trying to say that you used to appear in banquets and parties with Mr. Middleton, but now you're with me," Charles sald with a frivolous smile.

"However, if that's how you understood it. Hm.. Tunderstand. You must be interested in me too, a

wen't you?

Emelie was getting tired of him. "If it really is that hun for you to argue with me, Mr. Davis, you should practice with some comedians who would appreciate what you have to say more than I do" charles paused as if to think.

Then, he looked down as it he was serious. He said sincereh, "At first, I wanted to say that you'll replace out just what a cunning linguist can be, but I say to the girls I'm not serious with But you? I'll refrain because I'm being sincere with you. I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable or offend you."

If Emelie was ten years younger, she might be stunned by his romantic words.

But she was older and could see through all the tricks he had up his sleeve. "You didn't want to say it, but you sad it anyway,

Not only did she retort, she even made sense of his nonsense. She was really quite good at this.

Charles said innocently, "Ah, I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. Please forgive me. This is the first time I've courted a woman I like and I'm rather inexperienced, so I apologize if you replace me to be a bit reckless and awkward."

There was a moment of silence.

Out of anger, Emelie had to laugh out or she would hit something

While William was listening to Matilda, he looked to the side disinterestedly.

He saw Eneli turn around and leave after looking at Charles with disbelief.

Charles did not look like he was about to give up and continued to tease her with his head best low. They really did look like a couple in a fight

William's expression became even. colder. His thumb and index fingerbrushed together behind his back as thoughts crossed his mind.

"Did you hear what I said, William?" Matilda said, unhappy that he was becoming distracted

"I did. You were telling me to replace someone and get engaged. Once I do, l'Ebecome much more composed, especially with a family and child to care for," William said calmly," Those who don't know anything about me would think that I'm very rebellious. Did my father ask you to tell me that?i

Matilda didn't deny it. She then looked at Elena who was standing next to her, but she didn't intend to ask her of her identity. She simply said, "You know how anxious your dad is. He doesn't demand much of the kind of person you're looking for."

William remembered something. Contempt brewed in has eyes as be snorted. "He isn't asking for much, correct"

There were only no demands, really.

Firstly, his partner had to be a woman

Secondly, she had to be able to give birth

Matilda parted his hand and said, "The twins are upstairs. Go see them. You'll grow fond of children after you look at them. Perhaps, you'll understand your father's feelings when you do."

Emelie didn't want to be anywhere near Charles anymore. He was so much more of a clown than she had expected. She looked at Matilda and noticed that William was almost done with her she moved to go over and greet Matilda

Charles wasn't in as much of a rush. He looked at Emelie and switched gears. "This color looks great on you"

Emelie subconsciously looked down and looked at the dress she was wearing

She was wearing along, white dress. It was plain and had no embroidery as it hugged her neck and revealed her skinny shoulders. She looked modest yet elegant.

Wearing an outfit like that to a banquet like this could never go wrung.

Emelie half-heartedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Davis".

charles revealed a wide grin, "But you would look so much better in a traditional dress."
