Chapter 40 Will Mr. Williams Marry Me?
Elizabeth immediately revealed a puzzled expression.
She looked up at the man's face and asked in a daze, "Why did you say... like when I was a child? Did
you know me when I was a child?"
She asked so seriously and doubtfully.
Robert just glanced at her lightly and bent his fingers to touch her cheek.
It was as if he had not heard her question at all.
"Miss Bennett, you are really not a good dog. I saved you twice. If it weren't for me, you would have
died a long time ago. Why don't you know how to be grateful?"
His words made Elizabeth feel that she was in the wrong.
She was grateful to him for saving her twice.
But that could not be the reason for her to be humiliated in front of others.
The man played with her delicate face as if he was addicted to it, which made her more and more
painful and couldn't help frowning.
Robert probably drank a lot tonight. The moment his face got close to hers, she smelled the strong
smell of alcohol mixed with the inherent fragrant of his body. Somehow, it smelled good.
His voice was hoarse, and he was still a little drunk.
"What exactly is so good about Marvin that you are so unwilling to leave him? Is it because you cannot
bear to part with him... or is it because you like being abused?"
Elizabeth frowned. However, she still replied calmly. "Mr. Williams, are you so curious about my
personal feelings? If you insist on asking, I might as well be straightforward. The matter between
Marvin and me is very complicated which is not something that others can understand. Furthermore,
even if Marvin were to get married, he would not let me go to follow the other man."
Robert pinched her chin and looked into her eyes.
His voice was low and hoarse, but it seemed to be a little weird and charming, as if he was making a
promise.
"Follow me, surely I'll protect you. What are you afraid of?"
Elizabeth smiled. "I'm not afraid, but I don't want to."
Regardless of his inevitable attitude towards her which let her guard against it.
She knew that he definitely had an intention beyond love.
This attempt might have something to do with Aileen or Marvin.
Perhaps it was related to the secret past that she could not guess at present.
In short, he was not simple at all.
Furthermore, it was still impossible for her to leave Marvin.
Ten years of love.
They were family, siblings, and lovers.
Even if Marvin had lost his reason and drove her to mad.
But after calming down, she still could not betray him.
Ten years was longer than half her life.
It was Marvin who held her hand and stayed by her side for ten years as an elder brother and a lover.
He accompanied her to grow up, taught her to read books, write, and the ways of the world.
In this life, even if she and Marvin had no relationship between men and women, they were destined to NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
be inseparable souls.
She could not easily betray him.
Of course, she kept these words in her mind and did not expect Robert to understand.
…
Robert narrowed his eyes and smiled.
There was a smell of alcohol in his breath, which was very intoxicating.
"Tell me, what's so good about Marvin that you can't bear to part with him?"
Elizabeth didn't want to talk to him about this, so she smiled perfunctorily. "He is very good. He can
give me anything except the status of wife."
Robert looked at her smile face and seemed to be stunned for a moment.
Elizabeth continued to ask with a smile, "Is status so important?"
He sneered. "In terms of time, you and Marvin were the first to know each other. However, everyone
would respectfully address Ann Charke as Mrs. Bennett when they meet. As for you, you will be
regarded as a vixen and 'the other woman' by the world. What do you think is the importance of
status?"
Not only was Elizabeth not angry, but she also smiled more brightly. "If I follow Mr. Williams, will Mr.
Williams be willing to marry me?"
Robert frowned, and disbelief flashed across his eyes, as if he had heard an ignorant joke.
Elizabeth was very satisfied with his reaction. It was very straightforward and not hypocritical at all.
With Robert's status and ages of 32 years old, he would either fail to get married or be married the
daughter of a high-ranking official or a business partner.
She was only 19 years old. Except for her face, she had nothing else.
Moreover, not long ago, there was also a scandal about her. She was an encumbrance with chaotic
private life and a shameless b*tch.
If Robert said he was willing to marry her, it would be extremely hypocritical words.
Fortunately, he did not say that.
He just gave her a negative answer with his eyes.
…
Elizabeth did not feel disappointed.
But, this tall, handsome, and noble man took the initiative to approach her and saved her life at the
critical moment. It was a little fake to say that he didn't like her at all.
However, you should not take the illusory love between men and women of demimonde to be serious.
She smiled like a little fox. "Isn't that it? Both you and Marvin will not give me a status. Then what's the
difference between him and you? At least he has loved me for ten years."
Her words were so straightforward that seemed a little shameless. Robert was not angry after hearing it
but just sneered and hooked her chin.
"You've become more and more sharp-tongued, not cute at all."
Elizabeth remembered what he had just said and couldn't help but ask, "Do you remember what I
looked like when I was a child? Was I used to be very cute at that time?"
Robert looked down at her, and a delicate girl appeared in his mind who was only fourteen or fifteen
years old.
His eyes quickly darkened and said indifferent. "Who knows what you looked like when you were a
child?"
Elizabeth was not convinced. "But you clearly said just now that I've got guts, just like when I was a
child. Robert, when did you know me?"
Robert ignored her.
However, as if he had just woken up from a drunken stupor, he slightly pushed open the door of the
private room.
John and others had been waiting outside the door.
Seeing the door open, he immediately went forward and waited for orders.
Robert looked as usual and ordered in a low voice, "Give her two million dollars check."
John's eyes lit up and he immediately realized who Mr. Williams was referring to.
Alright, the little daughter of the Bennett family dared to charge Mr. Williams' protection fee.
And she could really get it.
Two million dollars was not cheap.
John was not a gossiper, and he did not dare to ask about Mr. Williams' private affairs.
He answered in a deep voice and started to do it.
…
Elizabeth walked out of the nightclub with the check in her hand. She was a little confused and her
head was heavy.
John's man saw her get in the car and leave with a group of people.
He couldn't help hitting John with his elbow and asked with his eyes full of gossip, "John, this girl is so
awesome. I heard from the bosses just now that she dared to fight with Mr. Williams. Not only did she
come out alive in good condition, but she also took money to leave. Hey, the next time I see her, should
I call her Mrs. Williams?"
