Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 97

She quietly looked into his eyes, and his deep, inscrutable eyes were somewhat weary at the moment. She could see that Euan did not like to deal with this crap, or maybe he did not like to be caught between the two to make a choice.

So he probably wouldn’t have to deal with this kind of trouble if she left.

Euan looked down at her, "I'll take care of this. You don't have to rush to know the answer. Now is not the time."

"And when, may I ask you, is the time? When Lydia gives birth to your child and you walk straight to the wedding hall with the newborn in your arms? Is that the time?"

It hurt!

She only slightly imagined in her mind that someday in the future they were going to walk down the aisle together, exchange wedding rings, and hold a baby that belonged to them ...

Just the thought of it made Riley's heart ache so much that she couldn't breathe.

Euan frowned, "No. Anyway, you should not be in a hurry right now. I'll take care of it."

Euan was strange today. He spoke with such a low posture, almost as if he was discussing something with her, which made Riley feel even more frantic inside. What the hell did he mean?

She was afraid she had made a fool of herself.

She was also afraid that she would miss him.

"Euan ... Lydia is pregnant with your child. She is the daughter-in-law your mother has recognized. No ... what matters is the weight she carries in your heart. In view of this, you should marry her. Your child cannot be without a father, and she needs you."

What she feared more was that she would spend her youth in vain on him again, three years, thirty years ...

So, "For the good of all three of us, why don't we just get a divorce?"

She spoke softly but firmly, with a calm analysis of objective facts.

"Just give up. I will not divorce!"

Euan finished the sentence coldly. Before he got angry and tried to strangle her, she lifted her long legs and left the foyer.

"Come back! You don't go to the hospital today!"

Fine, then she didn’t go.

He wouldn't let her go to the hospital, but he took a phone call after breakfast and left.

As soon as Euan left, the mood in the house changed.

Riley sat in the living room on the large sofa reading a medical book while Lydia walked towards her, holding a fashion magazine in her hand.

"What's the use of studying at home if you're not as skilled as others? Why don't you just stop being a doctor? You'll get a nice pension after you divorce Euan anyway, which is enough for you to spend for the rest of your life. Why do you need to go to the hospital and get others killed!"

Lydia crossed her legs and said in a sarcastic tone.

Riley did not even look at her, "Lydia, before you officially become the George family's daughter-in-law, calm down. I'm afraid if you go too far, Euan will kick you to death."

"Oh, thank you so much for your concern! Not coincidentally, Euan even told me in bed last night that I should not feel restrained here in the future and just make it my own home. How do you think I should interpret ‘my own home’ ...?"

Riley turned a deaf ear to Lydia's wanton bragging, "He's probably reminding you not to paint your face like that when you're at home!"

"You! Oh, you're jealous, aren't you? Even if I don't wear makeup, I still look better than you!"

Riley looked at her lazily, "Of course. You were born with foxy looks. I'm no match for you."

Lydia knew she was no match for her when it came to arguing. So she quickly flipped through the magazine and found a page where a European star was advertising the latest luxury product.

"Riley, how about this necklace? The Jamp;K anniversary model. There are only ten sets in the world. Priced but not marketable. But Euan has already pre-ordered. On what occasion, do you think, would he give it to me?"

Riley saw the jewelry from the corner of her eye. This was a masterpiece, which cost a lot of money and sold for a staggering price.

Euan had always spent a lot of money on gifts for Lydia. She was used to it.

She just couldn't get rid of the pain in her heart.

"Congratulations. Looks like your sleeping with him last night was a success!"

"Oh, stop making a last desperate stand. Riley, I've got Euan's mother's approval and even more Euan's favor. You'll be out of the George family sooner or later!"

Damn it!

Riley was furious. She was going to leave the George family, but when Lydia said that, she was so angry that she couldn't stand it!

Even if she left, she wouldn't leave as a castaway!

At that moment, Riley's phone rang.

"Honey, you're not going to spend the weekend at home, are you? Come out, I've got something fun here. I promise you'll like it!"

"Something fun? No way. Last time I almost ..." Glancing at Lydia, she didn't say any more, "What are you up to this time?"

"Gee, don't ask too many questions. Just dress simply and decently. You'd better bring a change of underwear with you. Let's stay here tonight."

"What place?"

"Here's the address! Hurry up and come over!"

Hanging up the phone, Riley got up and went to change her clothes.

"Where are you going to play again?"

Riley sneered, "You're pregnant. You want to join me? Sorry, you're not welcome."

Changing into simple, decent early summer pants and a shirt, Riley brought another change of clothes. It was so nice that she could not come back tonight!

Sophia walked her out the door, "Mrs. George, you're in such a good mood. You must be going somewhere really fun?"

She said casually, "HG Manor, a themed leisure center. I won't be back tonight."

HG Manor.

"You're fast! Well ... you look good in that outfit, and it is refreshing to look at. Let's go!"

Sarah took Riley's hand and headed inside. The manor was built with the feel of a garden in the South of Chine, with winding paths, lush foliage, running water, and chirping birds.

"You really know how to find places to play."

"I didn't really find it this time!"

"Not you? Then who is it?"

The two of them happened to go around the flower paths and trees, and in front of them was a new world with a wide view. A man was sitting under the shadow of a tree, with his back to them, propping up his fishing rod and fishing.

"Here, he's the one who found it!"

He?

Riley looked closely at the man's back. The man was wearing a gray t-shirt, with a straight back and a proper sitting posture, which seemed familiar. But ...

Not likely!

"Oh, there's a fish on the line!"

The man suddenly picked up the fishing rod. A redfish was hanging on the hook, and it was jumping and struggling.

It was really him!

"Mr. Hardesty, what are you doing here?"

William turned around and looked at her with a gentle smile, "I was wondering how the fish had surrendered to take the bait. It turns out it saw you." There was sincerity in his joke, "It's a rare break. Wouldn't it be nice to come out for a walk?"

Riley got it in a second. Sarah couldn't wait to match-make her and William. They had actually hooked up to this extent.

"Riley, don't stand still. The fishing rod is ready. Come on, come on, sit here. Let's fish. The fish you catch later will be given to the chef. It must be so unusual to eat fish you've caught yourself."

Riley was pushed to William's side by Sarah. There was only one bench and the two sat side by side. Intentionally or unintentionally, the warmth on each other's skin would transfer to each other.

The air was a little hot in the early summer when the temperature was rising. The atmosphere was really a bit awkward.

Sarah beamed with pleasure, "You two just stay here and fish. I'll go round there. I'll be waiting for your fruit in the evening!"

Sarah went straight away!

William held the fishing rod in his hand, revealing his long, thin but strong and powerful arm. Without a white coat and shirt, the clean skin on his arms was very nice.

Probably because of being a doctor, his skin was very white, but not the kind of effeminate sickly white. He looked healthy and comfortable.

"Sorry, I'm not very good at wooing girls ... I hope you'll enjoy your trip today." William was frank. He pursued her straightforwardly, without being evasive or obtrusive.

Riley also tried not to be embarrassed, "Mr. Hardesty, I'm a married woman. It's not really appropriate for you to do that."

William's eyes were clear and his smile was clean and pure, "I know. I am prepared to be accused of being the other man. If I get you, I don't have to pay attention to gossip. It is what I should bear, and it is none of your business."

Riley was speechless with his words!

He looked at her silently and quietly, carefully sketching her eyebrows in his mind, "You are very kind. Beware that I will take advantage of your kindness."

Riley was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"Obviously, your kindness will make you intolerant of rejection when faced with a suitor. I am patient and will take my time waiting for the fish to take the bait. Only, to catch you, the mermaid, I'll have to change the bait."

William looked at her with warm eyes and smiled, "Do you want to know what it is?"

"Uh ... this ..."

He carefully observed the fluctuation of the fishing line and her reflection in the water. Looking at her reflection, his heart softened, "My bait is absolute tolerance and ready companionship."

Riley felt her face burning. Where did William learn this ... flirting technique! It was impressive!

"Your tenderness is used in the wrong place. It is not for me. Get someone else. Maybe Ms. Pouchain would like it." Riley switched topics hastily.

With the sudden happiness and the strange warmth, she was touched but not blessed.

Instead of dwelling on the subject, he suddenly and joyfully bragged to her about his fruits, "Dr. Watson, my fish has taken the bait again."

Sure enough, this time it was a fat fish of seven or eight centimeters in length. He skillfully took the fish down and put it into the bucket, which was already swimming with five big fish.

She lifted up the fishing rod but found no fish.

What was even more annoying was that her bait was eaten up!

At YJ Villa.

Euan rushed home from work and looked around to find Riley was not there.

Thinking he was looking for Lydia, the maid reported, "Ms. Saunders is sleeping on the second floor."

Euan didn't care what she was doing. He changed his shoes and asked, "Where is Mrs. George?"

Didn't he tell her to stay at home!

Sophia came over and took the briefcase from his hand, "Mr. George, Mrs. George took a call and left. She said she was going to HG Manor."

HG Manor?

"When did she go there? When will she be back?" Euan's brow began to furrow.

"Well ... she's been gone for two or three hours and said she wouldn't be back for the night."

Damn it! She was going to stay out all night again, and how dare she not tell him!

Euan leaned over and put the shoes he took off on again.

"Mr. George, Ms. Saunders asked you to ..."

"I have something to do, and I will not come back tonight. You tell her when she wakes up."

"Yes, Mr. George!"

In a rage, Euan grabbed the car keys and slammed the door.
