A chill immediately swept over Annie, as if that person was watching her from somewhere again.
Annie quickly shook her head, trying to push him out of her mind, and continued discussing the new perfume with Charles Don…
Hwang-Po Will, elegantly reclining in the garden corridor, coldly watched the two of them.
Cristina, unaware of his fleeting gaze, looked up with a pitiful expression, “Will, are you angry? Why haven’t you answered my calls these past few days?”
Hwang-Po Will glanced at her and smiled lightly.
With so many people trying to reach him, how could he answer them all?
However, he still had to give her some attention because Miss Don was a rising star in the perfume industry…
Hwang-Po Will’s lips curled into a playful smile, “I wanted to surprise you. Don’t women love surprises?”
Cristina’s delicate, blooming face immediately turned red, and she playfully punched his chest, “You’re such a tease~~”
“Well, wait a moment, I’ll give you a surprise too.”
With that, she cheerfully ran off!
Dealing with this little woman was easy for him; he wasn’t in a hurry.
His thoughts were on another prey.
The sunlight was golden, and the violet eyes were dreamy.
Hwang-Po Will looked at Annie not far away, then at the piece of silk handkerchief in his hand, which she had given him to wipe his sleeve during the party…
It still retained her faint scent.
A surprise?
He chuckled softly, yes, life is full of surprises!
For instance, that woman was not a mere maid. How could a maid stand alongside the eldest son of the Don family so intimately?
By the violet garden, Annie’s long hair flowed to her waist, drifting gently in the breeze along with her white dress, creating a picture of breathtaking beauty!
Charles Don, seeing that Annie still wore the mask, frowned, “Why are you wearing that thing at home? Shanshan can be unreasonable at times, but don’t let her bother you.”
“It’s nothing… My skin has been bad these days.” Annie adjusted her mask and glanced at him.
She still didn’t understand why he was speaking so much to her today.
And why he was so kindly accompanying her to see the violets?
After thinking for a moment, she asked, “Brother, is there something you want to tell me today?”
Charles Don, dressed in a long-sleeve shirt, with his neatly styled short hair, looked like a standard, handsome professional elite!
He didn’t answer directly, lighting a cigarette and remaining silent like a refined gentleman.
After a while, he said, “Do you really want to stay in our house?”
“…”
“Do you like the people in this house?”
Annie thought for a moment and said, “I like Mom, respect Dad, and respect you, Brother. As for Shanshan…”
She tightened her grip on her dress.
Charles Don looked at her and understood her concerns, “Shanshan has been spoiled by the family; don’t take it to heart. You can stay in this house with peace of mind.”
“…” Annie was stunned, and her eyes felt a bit swollen.
Apart from Mom, it was the first time someone explicitly accepted her?
There was no echo around, and Charles Don seemed to be contemplating something while smoking.
After a while, he suddenly asked her, “Do you have someone you like?”
“Ah?” Annie looked up in confusion.
“I mean, a man…”
Looking at his stern profile, Annie suddenly understood, and her face turned bright red!
Being asked this question by her brother was quite awkward.
“…Yes,” she said, clutching her clothes.
But Charles Don didn’t ask who she liked. He was silent for a while before extinguishing his cigarette, “Actually, everyone in this family cares about you. Dad does, Mom does, and so does Shanshan, although in her own way…”
He specifically did not mention himself.
