Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Don’t Even Think About Leaving
After leaving the Parker Family estate, Waylon Lewis and Hope Williams went straight ho.
Seeing Waylon trailing closely behind her with an expression full of grievance, Hope couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Turning around, she asked, “What are you doing?”
“Are you mad at ?”
Hope suppressed the smile tugging at her lips. “Do you think I’m like you, Stingy Lewis?”
Waylon reached out and wrapped his arms around Hope.
Hope let out a soft chuckle, tilting her head to look at him. “Why do you think I’m mad?”
Waylon raised a brow. “The way you glared at back at the Parker Family’s house—wasn’t it saying you’d settle accounts with when we got ho?”
“What’s there to settle accounts for? Because of your face that attracts all kinds of trouble?” Hope smiled and shook her head. “I’m not that petty.”
Waylon paused for a mont.
“I need to tell you sothing.”
“Hmm?”
Waylon held her tighter, his expression unusually solemn.
Hope blinked, listening as Waylon explained the incident that led to him firing Elias Patel back in Emperor Capital, going over the cause, process, and results of the whole situation.
Hope’s expression shifted, making Waylon feel a bit uneasy.
“I didn’t lay a finger on her,” Waylon said seriously, staring at Hope and imdiately explaining.
Hope stroked her chin, pushed Waylon away, and started circling him, her expression serious, as if thinking deeply about sothing.
“What are you looking at?”
“Looking for signs of a magnet on you—one that attracts won!” Hope clicked her tongue twice and said, “This is putting quite a lot of pressure on .”
“What pressure?”
“What if one day you can’t resist temptation and get lured away by so little vixen?”
Waylon frowned. “Do you really think I’d do that?”
Hope raised an eyebrow and teased, “It’s not completely impossible.”
Waylon’s dark, brooding gaze locked onto her. “If I did, what would you do?”
Without hesitation, Hope said, “Leave you.”
Waylon’s eyes flickered with displeasure, his voice heavy. “You’d even think about leaving ?”
“If you get snatched away by so beautiful little vixen, I’ll just go find myself a handso guy instead. Isn’t that fair?”
Looking at the playful glimr in the woman’s mischievous smile in front of him, Waylon could only raise an exasperated brow. He reached out and flicked her forehead.
“Ouch, that hurt!”
Hope rubbed her forehead, glaring at him angrily.
Waylon brushed her hand aside and examined the spot he’d flicked, noticing it had turned slightly red.
While rubbing her forehead gently, he scolded her, “You’re so full of yourself these days.”
Hope humd in response twice.
“Stop overthinking all the ti. I’ve given you everything I have—how could I possibly be seduced by anyone else? Or… are *you* the one thinking about seducing soone else?”
Hope smirked faintly. “Can’t I even joke a little?”
“No. I don’t like those kinds of jokes. I’ve already told you—you’re stuck with for life.”
Hope sighed with a helpless smile. What a stingy guy—he wouldn’t even let her joke. “Got it. I won’t joke like that with you again.”
Waylon reached out and ruffled her hair.
Just then, faint rustling noises could be heard coming from upstairs.
Waylon and Hope furrowed their brows suspiciously, stepped back, and looked up toward the second floor.
There, Wyatt Lewis was crouched by the upper railing with Luke and Willow, covering their mouths as they giggled.
Waylon’s expression darkened. “What are you hiding for? Co out.”
Wyatt jolted in surprise. He straightened up, glanced down, and t his elder brother’s warning glare.
“Uh-oh, Dad found us.” Willow quickly covered her mouth while she and Luke giggled secretly.
“Wyatt Lewis!” Waylon gritted his teeth.
“Bro, I swear I wasn’t intentionally eavesdropping on you and sis-in-law’s lovey-dovey talk! I promise I didn’t hear a thing.”
Wyatt made a motion like he was swearing, then imdiately scooped up the two kids into his arms.
“Don’t let us interrupt. Please, carry on, carry on.”
As he ran off with Luke and Willow in tow, Wyatt mockingly mimicked, swaying his head, “You’re stuck with for life~”
“Pfft…”
Hope, leaning against Waylon’s chest, couldn’t help but burst into giggles. In the next mont, though, she could feel Waylon’s muscles tense.
Now she completely understood why Wyatt was always getting lectured.
Well! How to put it…
He really did have it coming!
…
After lunch, Waylon had to return to Emperor Capital. Hope personally drove him to the airport. After watching him leave, she was just about to ask Xiao Shi to drive her ho when she received a call from Elias Patel.
Recalling the story Waylon had told her earlier, Hope’s face darkened slightly but she still answered the call.
“Madam,” Elias’s urgent voice ca through, “I’m at the café next to the Williams Group building. Can I see you for a mont?”
“You’re in City A?”
“Yes. Can I et with you?”
Hope let out a light sigh. “Elias Patel, I already know about your dismissal. There’s no need to say more.”
Just as Hope was about to hang up, Elias’s voice quickly called out again, “Madam, did you hear about the Lewis Family’s private airplane crash a few days ago?”
The Lewis Family’s private airplane crash?
Hope’s heart suddenly skipped a beat violently.
