She sat down on the edge of the bed, feeling a little conflicted.
While she had lived in the Anderson family for the past few days, she had not been able to avoid meeting Nick Anderson.
It would be better to be frank from the beginning.
She looked in the direction of the door.
Without any hesitation, she walked over and opened the door.
Nick Anderson looked at her, his gaze as gentle as ever: "Let me bring you to the roof to sit for a while."
She said to the butler: "The butler, I'll be right back. You should rest for a bit."
The butler took a glance at Nick Anderson, then nodded : "Ok, Ms. Walton."
Laura followed Nick Anderson to the top of the building.
On top of it was a small and quaint pavilion with elegant decorations.
Nick Anderson pointed to the stone bench under the pavilion: "Sit down."
She walked over and sat down.
Nick Anderson sat on the seat beside her.
They were both silent for a long time.Nick Anderson then said: "I really never thought that the two of us would have the chance to meet at this house and quietly drink tea and chat."
She looked around but didn't say anything.
Nick Anderson continued, "Actually, this has always been the scene I have been most looking forward to. But for some reason, when I see you right now, my mood is actually very heavy. Laura, in the end, you still walked on the path that I don't want you to take."
She took a deep breath and looked at him: "Do you not want me to walk into this house, or do you not want me to marry William Walton?"
Nick Anderson replied honestly, "Neither of them."
She pursed her lips and smiled faintly.
She shifted her gaze away and looked into the distance.
"Laura, do you have anything you want to tell me?"
She shook her head.
"Has the relationship between us siblings already reached this stage? Are you still mad at me for taking you away last time? "
She said, "Is it important to be angry? My life, every path is my own choice, I will not regret your opposition. It doesn't matter if I am right or wrong. In the future, I will bear the consequences myself. "
Nick Anderson helplessly shook his head: "You didn't have to come to this step today. If you had listened to me from the beginning and stayed further away from William Walton, perhaps …"
She interrupted him, "There's no such thing as an 'if', then all the arrangements are the best for me."
"Do you really love him that much?"
Love...
Yes.
She had fallen in love with William Walton.
But when she thought of all the things that William Walton had done for Carol Wright, her heart began to churn with waves of pain.
Seeing her hesitation, Nick Anderson reached out and grabbed her hand.
"Laura, it's still not too late. I still want to ask you that question from last time. If I drop everything and take you away, are you willing to leave with me?"
