William Walton did not move, but she said: "Since Miss Wright is here, you should go take a look."
He patted her hands and said, "Eat slowly. I'll be back soon."
She smiled at him and tried to suppress the embarrassment in her heart.
Carol Wright and William Walton stepped out of the house.
She lowered her eyes and poked the fork into the Bowl.
The butler stepped forward: "Ms. Walton, don't worry, he will protect you well."
She smiled at him but did not say anything.
She placed her phone on the table and started to buzz.
She picked up the phone and flipped it over.
Seeing that it was Nick Anderson, without any hesitation, she immediately hung up and rejected his call.
After last night's events, she was truly disappointed in Nick Anderson.
Nick Anderson was not like John Anderson.
If she didn't answer, he naturally wouldn't call again.
Only, he sent her a message.
"Laura, I am sorry. I know you are very angry at me, but I have never regretted it. I am really doing it for your own good. I have something to confess to you. "
She did not return.
Her heart was already outside the door.
She did not know what William Walton and Carol Wright were talking about.
Carol Wright went around to the small stone table at the side of the garden in the backyard and sat down.
It was already winter, and the weather in the evening was very cold.
She rubbed her hands together a few times before raising her head to look at William Walton.
"It's very cold, isn't it?"
William Walton did not say anything and just sat opposite of her.
"What message did Jack Walton want you to send me?"
Carol Wright looked at his windbreaker.
"I'm really very cold."
He said lightly, "Then let's talk inside."
Carol Wright sighed: "If it was before, you would have given me your clothes."
William Walton said: "People should not live in the past."
"But I can only live in the past, because I can be happy only with the past!"
Carol Wright said with a downcast expression.
"You won't understand."
William Walton said in a deep voice, "I indeed do not understand. Carol, you and I have already embarked on different paths, and right now, we can't even be considered parallel to each other. Do you understand?"
"I don't want to understand."
William Walton said calmly: "Actually you know everything, you are just pretending not to know. Let's talk business, what did Jack say?"
"He didn't ask me to come!"
Carol Wright looked at him with sorrow.
"So, you lied just now?"
Carol Wright said sorrowfully: "If I hadn't said that, would you have come out?"
William Walton berated her: "You have learnt to be self—righteous too!"
