Chapter 24 What A Shame!
Then, just as Richard Scott was about to take further actions, Abby Miller suddenly came to her senses and pushed him away with inexplicable strength.
Richard Scott only regained a little of his senses when his embrace missed.
He looked at the little woman, who was grabbing his collar with a red face and taking a deep breath. He finally calmed down.
A man would know the pain of being interrupted when he was about to succeed.
Although Richard Scott was impulsive, her self-control was not bad. Furthermore, he could tell that the little woman was unconscious and was feeling uneasy and nervous.
"Sorry... I'm sorry, Mr. Scott, I..."
Abby Miller looked at him cautiously, fearing that he would swallow her if he got angry.
At this moment, Richard Scott was frowning with a pained expression. He secretly suppressed the desires that had yet to be pressed down and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll let you go this time. It won't be that easy next time!"
After that, he walked out of the room.
Abby Miller could not believe it.
"He let me go just like that?" It was... It was incredible, isn't it?
While she was thinking, Richard Scott, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped with a cold face.
Abby Miller was shocked. She was just about to relax when she became alert again.
"Can you cook? You didn't feed me on the bed, at least feed me on the table."
Richard Scott asked in a low and mellow voice.
"Uh, are the noodles okay?"
Abby Miller's mind went blank for a moment. Her mentality could not keep up with Richard Scott's.
Richard Scott thought for a few seconds before nodding, "Sure, I hope it's not too bad."
After that, he went back to his room.
Abby Miller heaved a complete sigh of relief. She remembered that she had almost... Immediately, she blushed again.
It's really... What a shame!
She had just been completely immersed in the man's attack.
It was too horrible. No matter what, she had to keep a distance from him next time, otherwise... She really doesn't know what would happen then!
About 20 minutes later, Abby Miller finished cooking the noodles. When she was about to go upstairs to call Richard Scott, she found that he had already gone downstairs and was waiting at the dining table. Abby Miller brought the noodles over and did not dare look into his eyes, "I only know how to make this. Hope you don't mind."
Richard Scott had already returned to normal. He looked at the bowl of steaming noodles as if nothing had happened and did not comment. He just lazily raised his head and asked, "Where is yours?" "Ah? I... I'm not hungry."
Although she said that, in fact, she was already hungry. During dinner, she didn't eat much in the strange atmosphere in the Scott Family.
Moreover, who was willing to have supper alone with a poker face at night?
"Not hungry?"
Richard Scott raised his eyebrows and said, "You ate six mouthfuls of rice and four mouthfuls of dishes tonight in total."
"Eh?"
Abby Miller looked at Richard Scott in surprise.
It turned out that he had been paying attention to her all the time.
"Go get the bowl."
While Abby Miller was lost in thought, Richard Scott spoke again.
Abby Miller responded and brought another pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Richard Scott deftly divided the noodles into two portions, one of which was pushed to Abby Miller and ordered, "Eat up, don't sleep if you can't finish it."
The entire villa hall was very quiet. No one spoke, there was only the sound of Abby Miller and Richard Scott eating noodles.
Richard Scott was focused. From time to time, Abby Miller would look up and peek at him. She felt that it was a little unbelievable.
She thought that a few days ago, she was still busy with the matter of the orphanage. She didn't expect that after a few days, she would sit at the same table with the most valuable bachelor in the whole Great City to eat.
It was exciting enough to experience such a big change in life.
"Can you be full up by looking at me?"
Abby Miller bit her chopsticks and was lost in thought as she looked at Richard Scott. The man had already raised his head to look at her, his eyes filled with ridicule.
Abby Miller snapped back to reality, "No, I was just thinking about something."
After that, he hurriedly lowered his head with a look of annoyance.
"Abby Miller, are you a pig?" "Even if I want to look at him, don't be discovered. See, what happened when I was caught on the spot?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Richard Scott asked casually.
Abby Miller didn't even raise her head as she ate on her own. She said vaguely, "No, nothing... I'm just thinking that life is like a play. It all depends on acting."
Richard Scott nodded in agreement, "That's true. Unfortunately, your acting skills are too bad. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been exposed when you took the initiative to plot against me for the first time."
Abby Miller's face was full of embarrassment. Thinking of what had just happened; she blushed and said, "Can you forget about the past?"
"Okay. I just want to remind you to improve your acting skills next time. Don't show any flaws in front of others."
Richard Scott's reply was straightforward.
Abby Miller hesitated again. After a while, she said cautiously, "Well, can I ask you a question?"
"Say it."
"Why did you ask me to play your fiancée? Is that Nancy Lee really that bad? From my perspective, she is beautiful, comes from a good family, has a good temperament, and must have a good education background. Aren't all the rich people like you looking for such outstanding women?"
Abby Miller did ask the question, but she soon realized that she seemed to have gone too far, so she quickly added, "I'm just curious... It doesn't matter if you don't answer."
Richard Scott did not seem to care too much. He just casually asked, "An outstanding woman may be good, but it's not good for her to be thorny. I hate brainless women, scheming women, rich women, and ugly women."
Abby Miller was so astonished that she said straightforwardly, "Mr. Scott, if you exclude it like this, all you can like is men!"
Richard Scott, "..."
"Ahem, I'm sorry."
Abby Miller continued to eat her noodles, not daring to say a word.
After a long while, Richard Scott got up and said tonelessly to her, "Rest early after you finish eating."
After that, he turned around and went upstairs.
In the hall, the original silence was restored. As Abby Miller watched him disappear at the stairs, she continued to be lost in thought.
After tonight, Abby Miller seemed to have gained a little more understanding of Richard Scott.
Although this man looked cold on the surface, he didn't seem to feel so cold in his heart.
What caused him to become like this? Was it related to his family?
She had seen it with her own eyes tonight. The Scott Family had a huge population, but there was nothing warm. It was cold everywhere, even his father. What kind of environment did Richard Scott grow up in?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
