Before Elena could get over her embarrassment, the door opened, and in came the doctor and nurses.
Behind the doctor was Michael. He already changed his clothes. White shirt with black trousers, a formal look.
There was no trace of the commotion that happened that night at sea.
In an instant, he was back to his serious and stern self, cold and distant god-like being.
Layla didn’t even dare to look directly at him from afar. She stood aside as soon as Master Williams entered.
Levi was behind Michael and he smiled in relief when he saw that Elena has awakened.
“Missus, you’ve finally awakened. How are you feeling? Do you want to continue?”
Continue? Continue what?
Elena was confused and wanted to look at Michael but she didn’t dare to.
She thought about her forcibly kissing him and felt so embarrassed.
She felt guilty even when she peeked at him.
“What’s the situation?” Michael looked calmly and emotionlessly at her.
That cool and calm voice, it was as if nothing happened that night.
The doctor inspected Elena and said, “She’s out of any danger.”
The nurse removed the intravenous drip. She was much better after the infusion.
Apart from being slightly pale, she was as good as any other person.
Levi sighed a breath of relief, “Then, in a while, we should be able to continue with the banquet?”
Elena remembers that when Michael drove to accompany her to look for Layla, he did have Levi to inform everybody to wait.
Who would dare to leave if Master Williams said to wait?
“What’s the time now?” Elena turned to look at Layla.
“Two in the morning.” Layla stole a peek at Michael. She idolized him.
Master Williams really had the authority. All the guests were the elite of Bentson City. But when he wanted them to wait, not one person objected!
This was truly a capable man! This was what every man in the world try to attain in their life!
It’s a pity that there is only one Master Williams. All the rest must slog for ten lifetimes before they can attain a tenth of his prowess!
Elena finally calmed down and though she still didn’t dare to look at Michael, she was less guilty.
She decided to forget about her shameless attempt to kiss him forcibly. Forget it. She’ll be fine when she has forgotten about it.
“Oh! That, are we going back now?”
“No hurry, Missus, rest awhile more, I’ll have someone bring over your gown. Wash your face and then we’ll go back.”
Wash face?
Elena couldn’t resist and touched her face, is there anything on her face?
It wasn’t clear where Layla obtained a mirror and she gave it to her, “No matter, the makeup ran a little, in a while I’ll redo your makeup…”
“Yikes! Ghost!”
Elena stared into the mirror and half her waterproof mascara ran down her cheeks. The other half encircled her eyes.
As for her lipstick… She was in the sea for so long, and it appeared that it didn’t fade a bid!
The lipstick smudged beyond the edges of her lips, and she looked like a circus clown!
Ah, ah, ah, ah! Who was this ghost? It was definitely not her!
Elena almost fainted when she thought that she had used these clown lips to kiss Michael.
Master Williams was so kind not to have given her a fatal blow and throw her back into the sea. He was too kind!
…
The engagement continued at four in the morning.
When Michael brought Elena up the stage, everyone below had a multitude of thoughts.
No one knew what games this third daughter of the Garcia family was playing. The first time she went missing, and now she made everyone wait till the wee hours of the morning.
Everyone hadn’t slept for a night, and at this time, even if they could muster a smile, they were definitely criticizing within them.
If it wasn’t out of respect for the Williams family, who would be willing to wait?
But of course, no one dared to disrespect Master Williams.
Regardless, everyone was unhappy to have waited until now.
Since they can’t bear a grudge against Master Williams, they put all the blame onto Elena.
“This woman went crazy and ran. Master Williams looked for her for the entire night.”
“That can’t be, if that ugly woman wants to run, then let her? Why look for her?”
“That’s why the ugly ones will cause trouble…”
Though the murmurs were soft, some of these words floated up the stage and into their ears.
The patriarch of the Williams family was expressionless and stern on the stage. Though he has not indicated anything, it was obvious that he was in a foul mood.
If it wasn’t for Grandma Williams, he would have lost his temper!
She looked at the two of them and sighed softly without speaking a word.
At this time of the morning, no matter how the master of ceremony tried, he couldn’t rouse up the atmosphere.
All the hate focused on Elena.
Elena kept telling herself not to be affected by these.
What happened tonight was indeed her responsibility.
No matter what, those looks of discontent added to her immense stress.
Furthermore, the entire Williams family was there and she couldn’t possibly completely disregard their impression of her.
Grandfather Williams must be angry with her as well.
Suddenly, a large hand grasped her tiny hands tightly.
This was the first time that Michael willingly took the microphone from the MC. He rarely spoke at events, even when representing the company for press briefings.
Master Williams was about to speak! Everyone quietened down. Even grandparents Williams was surprised.
Originally everyone thought that he would simply exchange rings with Elena, and it’ll be over. After all, he wasn’t that keen on this engagement.
Everyone was curious about what Master Williams wanted to say.
What did he mean to convey with him holding tightly to this ugly woman’s hands?
Holding onto Elena’s hand, he looked expressionlessly at the guests and calmly said, “I’m sorry to let everyone wait for so long tonight. Due to my losing control, I am to be blamed for causing all the inconvenience to everybody.”
He let go of Elena’s hand but pulled her entirely over. How intimate and sweet!
What did he mean by `losing control’? Does he want them to guess?
Lord! The reason for the wait was due to Master Williams?
Was it because the woman was too seductive and he couldn’t resist?
Could that be true? He… couldn’t resist?
The women present refused to believe that he couldn’t resist.
Who was able to accept that Master Williams couldn’t resist an ugly woman and set aside his engagement banquet to get… with her?
Who was the one who said that Master Williams liked Ava and not Elena?
This passion between them was clear to everyone!
It is impossible for him not to like Elena.
