President Williams Woos His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 30

Beth grinned at Mark Cook constrainedly.

“What a coincidence to meet you here, uncle.” She said.

He looked her up and down, and finally returned the diamond ring to her

“Why do you want to sell your diamond ring? Are you short of money?”

“No, I don’t...” Beth denied immediately, for she didn’t want him to see her abjection and embarrassment.

Mark figured out her situation quickly. He spoke to her softly,”If you need my help, just tell me.”

Beth knew that all the Cooks disliked Mark very much. They treated him just like a dog. But Beth was really moved at that moment.

Mark had helped her many times, and he was much better than any members of his family.

“I am not short of money...Thank you.” She was not that close to him, and was ashamed to ask him for money.

Now that Mark was here, it was impossible for her to sell her ring. She turned around and went out.

Mark followed her and grasped her wrist.

“Uncle, please let me go.” Beth struggled.

Mark smiled and let go of her hand. He gently said,”You said you want to thank me before. It is almost noon now, and I haven’t had lunch yet.”

“Do you mind inviting your benefactor for lunch?” Mark put one hand in the his trousers pocket and raised his eyebrow.

“Invite you for lunch?” Beth clenched her ring.

She had no reason to refuse him, since Mark had helped her several times.

So Beth agreed, and asked him,”What would you like to eat?”

She has only €25, so she hoped that Mark wouldn’t order too expensive dishes.

It was not that she was mean, but that she had to save money for her brother’s medical expenses.

Mark smiled, pointing to a milk tea shop outside.

“I'm not a picky eater.”

His eyes were gentle, as if there were bright stars in them.

His voice was hoarse. “If you want to thank me, please buy me a cup of milk tea.”

“I love cherry ones.”

She stunned, looking across the street with difficulty.

“Milk tea?”

“Cherry ones?”

There was a big smile swung on his face, brighter than the sun.

“Yeah.” He laughed.

Beth was a little bit lost, “I’ll go.”

She felt Mark more and more gentle now. He must have seen through her lack of money already.

That's why he only want a cup of milk tea.

But, uh, was there a cherry milk tea?

An idea occurred in her mind.

Did he like cherry, too?

Beth trotted across the street to buy milk tea, and Mark was waiting for her right beside the traffic light.

When Beth was buying, she couldn’t help but looked back frequently to see Mark, who was standing in the crowd.

There he stood, with remarkable and superb temperament.

He was quite different from Aaron Williams. Though both of them were handsome, the latter was unfriendly cold.

Mark was as warm as the sun in March, and it was hard to resist getting closer.

Beth finished buying a cup of milk tea, running back and handed it to Mark.

“There's no cherry one, and I've bought other flavor on my own.” She said embarrassedly, hanging her eyes to herself.

She really hasn't heard of a cherry flavored milk tea.

Really not.
