Chapter 84 Nolan's Banter
Bethany didn't expect Ainsley to really know so much.
"It's not the ambiguous stage before love." Bethany didn't know what to say now. "He did give me a
birthday surprise yesterday, and I really didn't expect him to be so dedicated to celebrating my birthday
for me. Then...I seemed to mess it up in the end."
"What do you mean by you messed it up?"
Bethany was now very disordered, and, apart from Ainsley, she had no one to turn to, so she told her
everything that had happened yesterday.
After hearing that, Ainsley couldn't help but smile. Seeing that, Bethany was confused.
"You silly girl, are you really a well-educated adult? Why did you not get it? He just wanted to marry
you. Everything else he said was just an excuse, but you took it seriously. You discussed the property
and even divorce with him, so he was naturally angry," said Ainsley.
"Do you mean he really wants to marry me?"
"Of course." Ainsley couldn't help but knock her head and said somewhat angrily, "You're really a silly
girl. Trust me, as a bystander, I see it better than you do. He's really into you."
Bethany was a little stunned at that.
"Lisa, as I said before, I hope you can come out of the past and pursue your own happiness. I think
Raymond is generally good. If happiness is really coming, don't miss it."
Bethany didn't know what to say now, for her mind was still in a mess.
"Think it over. If you really want to have a deeper relationship with him, just tell him everything about
your past and see how he reacts. If he can accept it, then what else are you afraid of?"
Bethany remained silent.
After returning to her bedroom, Bethany sat on the windowsill holding a pillow and kept looking out of
the window with something on her mind.
Indeed, she was really moved and happy when seeing such a warm scene yesterday. After all, even
Adriel had never treated her so well when they had been together before.
Bethany was in a daze for a long time and didn't move until Ainsley came in.
"Lisa, I cooked some congee. Isn't Raymond always in poor health? Why not take it to him?" said
Ainsley.
"Are you asking me to take the congee to him?" Bethany was a little confused.
"Yes." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"But he said he's been busy lately, and he doesn't want to see me."
"He said that because he was angry. If you believe me, just take the congee to him. He will be very
happy."
Hearing that, Bethany couldn't help but think, "If I really take the congee to him now, will I not seem too
cheap? He has already said that he doesn't want to see me, so how can I take the initiative to go to
him?"
With that in mind, she said, "I don't think that's a good idea, Ainsley. I don't want to go to see him."
"Then when are you going to take a step? Just listen to me and go quickly," urged Ainsley.
Bethany felt really helpless and thought, "What is going on? Why are the people around me all trying
so hard to match me with Raymond?
Tyrone and Shayla have been asking me to marry him, and now even Ainsley has joined them. Is that
man really so charming?"
"Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up," said Ainsley in a particularly urging tone.
Helplessly, Bethany could only brace herself to go.
At the same time, Raymond had just finished a meeting. He had just returned to his office when he saw
Nolan waiting for him on the sofa.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be taking care of your mother in the hospital?" asked
Raymond.
"Can't I come out to take a breath?" Nolan roasted, "I've been treating all kinds of mental patients since
my mother's diagnosis of cancer. I'm really going to be depressed."
"How is your mother doing now?"
"She's alright, except for the severe drug reaction. She has no appetite and has lost a lot of weight,"
said Nolan.
"Then why are you not looking after her in the hospital?" Raymond reprimanded.
"Her husband is with her, so she doesn't need me. I am here today just to tell you that I want Bethany
to go to the Shepard's mansion for my mother's chemotherapy. Firstly, I believe in Bethany's medical
abilities. Secondly, if she's the doctor, my mother won't be suspicious," said Nolan.
"Since you're looking for her, why don't you go and talk to her?"
"Are you asking knowingly?" Nolan said, "You treasure her so much, and she's still in recovery, so you
naturally don't bear to let her work now. Therefore, if I want her to be in charge of my mother's
subsequent chemotherapy, I need your consent before I can go to her. Otherwise, even if she agrees,
and you refuse, you will be angry with me. I'm not stupid, okay?"
Raymond let out a sneer.
"What do you mean? Do you agree or not?"
"No, I don't agree," said Raymond resolutely.
"Are you serious?" Nolan couldn't help but roast, "I just need her to go to give my mother a
chemotherapy injection on a regular basis. I swear I will not let her get tired, and I will pay her a high
salary."
"I said, no!" Raymond didn't agree, not only because Bethany was still in recovery, but more
importantly, Bethany had said she was very afraid of Karter.
"Are you going to keep her off work all the time?" Nolan couldn't help but banter.
"If there's nothing else, you can go now. I'm very busy."
Nolan really wanted to curse now. He said in his heart, "Well, he's really a fair-weather friend!"
Nolan was just about to leave when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in," said Raymond.
Bethany pushed the door open and walked in. She had really braced herself to enter the office, and her
cheeks were flushed now.
Seeing her, Nolan couldn't help but tease, "We were just talking about you. Well, speak of the devil,
here you are."
Bethany hadn't expected to hear that.
"Hello, Mr. Nolan," Bethany politely greeted Nolan.
"Ray and I grew up together. If you are his wife-to-be, then you and I are also family. Therefore, just call
me Nolan. You don't have to be so polite."
"Stop your nonsense and get out!" Raymond ordered Nolan.
"Fine, I'll leave you two alone here. I'll go right away." Nolan quickly got up and walked towards the
door. "I'll leave at once."
Bethany had not expected Nolan to be here as well. After he had left, Raymond looked up at her and
asked, "Why are you here?"
"I..." Bethany was really embarrassed, but since she was already here, she could only say, "Ainsley
cooked a lot of congee, so I decided to bring some to you."
Bethany could only find such a bad excuse to start the chat. Unexpectedly, Raymond coldly said, "Just
put it on the coffee table."
"Okay." Bethany nodded and placed the congee on the coffee table. After that, she happened to see a
trash can, as well as a particularly eye-catching gift box in it.
