Darling, Don't Get Rid of Me novel Chapter 74

When they sat down at the dinner table, Harriet, who had consciously chosen the seat furthest away from Wesley, obediently moved to the seat beside him under his fierce gaze.

It was really hard to figure out why he was so stubborn in such a detail when he obviously didn’t like her. And It gave her false hopes now and then.

“If you have the courage to ask me to pick you up, you needn't care about the reputation.” Wesley tried to break the embarrassment.

Harriet didn’t say that the request was just an excuse. But she didn’t expect Jack to be so honest as to actually call him. And now she felt embarrassed.

“I'm conflicted, too.” Harriet said sincerely, “I wish you would pay more attention to me, but it makes me feel guilty to think that you would be involved in a negative scandal because of me.”

Wesley looked up at her.

Harriet was momentarily guilty, but she knew that Wesley liked the sweet-mouthed and smooth woman best, and if she behaved well, she would not be embarrassed today, so she was pretending to be compliant.

“Don’t you hate me?” Wesley asked coldly.

He remembered that the anger and hatred in her eyes were not false when he forced her.

Harriet replied, “Everyone changes. Since you still want to keep the previous relationship, and there’s nothing wrong with it. You’ll give me everything I want anyway, won’t you?”

The answer seemed to be perfect, but Wesley didn’t feel happy.

The two-year relationship was, in a word, a bargain in which everyone got what they wanted. He was in love with her good body, and she needed money to pay her family’s medical bills, that was all, but now he wanted more.

It wasn’t just her body that he was supposed to take.

“Well, Mr. Smith, can you tell me that how is Irene now?” Harriet tried to change another topic.

Wesley said, “She went to a nursing home abroad.”

Harriet was shocked.

Well, it seemed that if someone offended him, she would suffer a lot.

Everyone knew that the Whittys had two daughter, and they discriminate against the entertainment industry. Thus, the Whittys did not agree with Irene into the entertainment industry.

However, because they loved Irene too much, finally they had to allow her to join the entertainment circle. Therefore, everyone knew that.

The Whittys loved their daughter so much, but now they had to sacrifice one daughter because of Wesley.

“Well, are they causing you trouble?” Wesley asked.

Harriet shook her head, “No, I don’t think the press has done me any wrong.”

“Those rumors will die down sooner or later. Never mind.” Wesley said.

He’s not a star, so he did not worry about fame. After all, the business world cared about one’s capability instead of fame.

As long as the career was successful, then the black reputation could be changed, but the star was not the same, once the reputation was discredited, he would be banned and even forced to give up the star career.

“...Got it.”

Looking at Wesley’s indifference, Harriet did not believe that he would not know that.

Well, he just cared when she could make love with him.

Wesley added, “I will deal with the press.”

Harriet did not say anything.

Harriet had to meet Wesley for the next few days. Though she said that she were willing to keep a good relationship with Wesley, she never intended to do so.

Because she still had some pride.

Fortunately, her brother had already moved out with his girlfriend, so she didn't have to be so timid with Wesley

“Please, Colin...”

On the street, Louisa held Colin’s hand and asked him to accompany her to a private party.

Colin was embarrassed, “Is it inappropriate for me to accompany you to the party?”

Louisa said, “Why not? You are my boyfriend, how can they dare to say anything? What’s more, everyone else has company, but I don't. Will you leave me alone?”

“Well...Ok.” Colin agreed and said, “Let’s go as soon as we’ve bought something. It won’t be nice if your family sees us outside.”

Now Colin also knew the reason why Louisa was blamed by her family and he always worried about Louisa.

Louisa rolled her eyes, “Well, I do not care about whether they would know. If they know, then we’ll go public, or we’ll elope together!”

Colin felt helpless. He did not know whether his girlfriend was naive or silly. How could she say the word “elopement”?

Wesley saw someone in a black sedan in nearby traffic.

Wesley thought Louisa dating with Colin was just for fun, but now it seemed different. He has not seen Louisa dating with a man for more than a week, but this time...

Wesley frowned, “Check out how long they've been together and how familiar they are.”

Jack nodded, “Yes.”

Jack had a strong ability to handle affairs, so he went to the office and reported the news to Wesley in the afternoon.

“Miss Jones claimed that Colin was her boyfriend and even bought a house for him. It seemed that she’s serious.”

Wesley narrowed his eyes.

Well, it seemed that Louisa and her brother were good at loving. And How could Louisa do that? Did she think that Wesley could bear her no matter what she did?

Wesley didn’t care. His love for Louisa was gone, and even though their engagement was still there, marrying Louisa was just an obligation for him.

But if the man was Colin, he had to do something.

“Don’t let Harriet know this thing.” Wesley said.

Jack replied, “Yes, sir.”

In the evening, Wesley met Allen at a lively business party.

“Wesley, why did you leave early last time? Didn’t you mean to have dinner at home?” Allen asked.

Wesley replied, “Then you should go to ask your daughter.”

Allen felt nervous.

In the past, Wesley did not use “your daughter” to replace Louisa’s name no matter what happened. But something unhappy happened at last birthday party made both families feel embarrassed. So Allen was afraid that Wesley would hate his daughter.

“If Louisa made a mistake, I apologize for her.”

Wesley raised his eyebrows slightly, “No, I just want to remind you that your daughter has been backsliding recently, and if she really wants to marry me, she needs to pay attention to her attitude.”

Allen frowned, “Louisa is still young so that she knows less. But I promise that she would think twice and admitted her mistake.”

Wesley said coldly, “You’ve pampered her enough over the years. If you still think she’s a child, then we can call off the marriage.”

Allen felt embarrassed. Wesley was very angry, but Allen had to bear it, after all, Louisa was wrong.
