After Braelynn was done speaking, she left to find a doctor. The doctor came to check on Richard, “The fever is gone, but in order to prevent it from happening again, we should put him on the IV drip for a little longer.”
So, Richard had the drip attached to his forearm again. Braelynn realized that he hadn’t had breakfast yet, so she went out to buy some food for him.
Richard did not pester her and obediently ate the food she bought. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Richard leaned against the headboard, picked up his mobile phone, and turned it on to see the message Braelynn sent yesterday asking him if he was pretending to be ill.
He cursed in his heart, “How close!” Luckily, he had listened to William’s advice. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to explain himself to Braelynn.
Seeing him turn on his mobile phone, Braelynn’s heart jumped. She was a very straightforward person, and she knew that she was in the wrong, so she immediately apologized.
“Sorry, I thought you were pretending to be sick yesterday, so I sent you such a harsh message. It turned out that I was wrong. I apologize!”
“Ah!” Richard sighed heavily, “I know you don’t like me and probably even hate me, but I didn’t expect you to see me as that kind of person. Am I really so unbearable?”
“No… I… I…”
“Alright, stop explaining. I know that you don’t like me. I can tell, but I just can’t control my feelings for you. Braelynn, is it wrong to like someone? Is it wrong for me to like you?” Richard looked at her and asked.
This was the first time he said that he liked her to her face. As an innocent person, Braelynn was extremely flustered at his confession.
She lowered her head, “Mr. Clark… You… Stop joking!”
“I’m not joking. I mean what I say, and it comes from the bottom of my heart. I like you! I’ve liked you for a long time!”
Braelynn also had some feelings for Richard, but he was famous for being a playboy in the past, so she couldn’t trust him.
“How can you like me? You have so many women to choose from, and I even saw you with that woman last time…”
“She was just a client!” Richard explained.
“She’s not. I heard her call you darling,” Braelynn retorted.
“You must have heard wrongly!”
“I didn’t!”
“You really misheard her. I’m not a casual person, and I don’t like anyone else except you. Believe me, please?”
Richard pleaded in a soft voice. Braelynn pursed her lips in silence and avoided eye contact.
When he saw that she did not believe him, he suddenly raised his hand, and the needle on his hand fell off, so the blood started dripping out. He cried out in pain.
Seeing his miserable state, Braelynn’s pupils contracted and she immediately stepped forward. Richard ignored the pain and grabbed her hand, “Braelynn, if what I have done in the past caused some misunderstandings between us, it’s all my fault. I’ll get rid of all my bad habits from now on! Please give me a chance and I will change myself until you are satisfied.”
“Are you crazy?”
“I’m not. I really like you, and I’m willing to do anything for you.”
“We should deal with your wound first!”
“No, I want your reply. Braelynn, promise me!”
This madman! Braelynn’s fluttered her long eyelashes as she said with difficulty, “Fine, I promise you. Let go of me so that I can call the doctor to help you deal with this!”
Seeing that she agreed, he finally let go. Braelynn quickly went out to look for someone, and he let out a sigh, “How painful! Fortunately, she promised. Everything’s worth it!”
In William’s manor in Munich, several servants set up tables and umbrellas by the lake and prepared the utensils and food for the picnic. The carriages that toured the manor arrived one after another.
Knowing that they had to prepare their own food for the picnic, everyone began to divide the tasks.
Natalie rolled up her sleeves and looked at Archer, “Let’s cut the vegetables.”
Abbie’s mum, Helen Clark’s cooking skills were top-notch, and she looked at her husband with a smile, “Since you guys are cutting the vegetables, let’s be responsible for cooking.”
Since the three big company’s CEOs have already divided their tasks, Lamont naturally couldn’t sit idle. He looked at Raymond and asked, “Mr. Saunders, do you want to be in charge of the grill with me?”
Raymond did not refuse, “Of course, but the food I’m going to roast might not taste too delicious, will that be okay?”
“No!” William walked over, “Valeria likes barbeque, so I’ll be in charge of today’s barbeque.”
Michael immediately chimed in, “William and I have the best teamwork at the grills, so I will help him here.”
Callum strode over, “Speaking of barbecue, my skills aren’t half as bad. The three of us can do this together!”
Lamont looked at Raymond, “Mr. Saunders, I guess we can only tend to some odd jobs!”
Abbie looked around and said, “My cooking skills are bad too. I just joined a cooking class, and I only know how to arrange fruits for now, so I’ll prepare the fruit platter.”
“I’ll help you!” Deborah said with a smile.
“What about me? What am I doing?” Valeria asked.
“You can focus on taking care of yourself,” everyone replied in unison.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Fandrey was about to give them a hand when his phone rang. He glanced at it and realized that it was Sammuel, who was back at home, that called him. He had left for less than twenty hours, so something must have happened for Sammuel to call him so urgently.
Fandrey immediately walked to the side and answered the phone, “What is it?”
“Mr. Floyd! Angel secretly went to see Ornard.”
“She is in a hurry indeed.” Fandrey laughed coldly.
“Yes, they secretly met at the Hot Spring Hotel, so we don’t know what they talked about, but I think that Ornard must have alternate motives to meet up with Angel right after you left, so I wanted to report it to you.”
“What other purposes can he have?” Fandrey sneered. Veronica and Callum had nothing to do with each other, so Ornard had nothing to eye in the Floyd family except the property now.
He definitely met up with Angel with the intention of prying into the secrets of the Floyd family’s company. Fandrey didn’t know what Angel would decide to do. She was their sole heir. If she was smart, she wouldn’t choose to be on Ornard’s side.
But thinking of her recent series of actions, Fandrey knew that she would probably side with Ornard, however, he still secretly hoped that she would go back to the right path.
If Angel was Veronica’s child, then Fandrey wouldn’t say anything about her getting close to Ornard and Veronica. However, she had nothing to do with them.
Just the thought of the sole descendant of the Floyd family collaborating with outsiders to set up her own family sent chills down to Fandrey’s heart.
He told Sammuel, “Let Angel do whatever she wants. I’ve already arranged for the company to make preparations. Now it’s time to see what Ornard wants to do.”
