Chapter 562 Don’t Provoke Me
“Tell me, tell me,” Eli urged.
“Larry’s younger sister committed suicide because of me,” Sean said simply.
“Oh,” Eli said and nodded.
Her imagination filled in the rest of the story.
She had always known his history. There seemed to be more than one woman who had committed suicide for him.
This man was indeed a demon who was good at the art of seduction. Fortunately, she was smart enough not to lfall in love with him. Moreover, he was still a married man. Else, she would surely suffer from depression.
Distracted, Eli absent-mindedly put a large piece of tomato into her mouth. She realized that the bite was too big. When she bit into it, the juice spilled out to the sides of her mouth.
Sean had no choice but to take out a tissue to wipe her mouth.
Eli stepped back. She was not used to having him wipe the corner of her mouth. She felt that this was what an adult would do to a child.
She was not his child. She took out a tissue and wiped her mouth. “Your chef makes delicious dishes, but they’re cut a little big.”
“Who would eat such a big bite like that? I’ll tell them to cut it smaller in the future then,” Sean said.
“It’s a gift from the President. Of course, I have to eat it in one bite to express my sincerity,” Eli started laughing and teased, all of which were full of sarcasm.
“Why hadn’t I noticed that you were so sincere before?” Sean played along, lowered his head, divided the tomato into two pieces, and gave her a piece.
Eli looked at him suspiciously.
She realized that he was different from before. In the past, he wouldn’t have cut the tomato for her. He used to say that she had eaten too much and that she was fat.
“Sean, you’ve changed,” Eli raised an eyebrow.
He just wanted her to know what a good person he was. He wanted her to know that so that she wouldn’t leave him.
“Don’t you want me to treat you better?” Sean asked in reply.
Eli bit down on her fork. “Yes, but why do I have the feeling that you have some ulterior motive? I don’t know anything, okay?”
She spoke sincerely.
“I did not ask you to do anything. You’d better be good. I’m going to entertain the foreign ambassador tonight. Come with me,” Sean said.
“Can I not?” It sounded like it was going to be a very formal occasion. It was definitely not suitable for a lazy person like her.
“No, you will have to get used to it in the future. You should at least try to be familiar with it, you don’t need to learn it all at once. You are a smart person, so it will be easy for you to adapt,” Sean praised.
She was actually a smart person.
Eli faked a smile.
Since he had said so, he would definitely force her if she refused to go.
“Anyway, you can’t blame me if I were to make any mistakes,” Eli finally agreed.
Sean raised his smile. “Of course, once you’re done eating, I’ll get someone to design a new hairstyle and some clothes for you. Stay at home for the rest afternoon.”
She was fond of styling her hair and clothes, so she nodded.
Yvonne had already been waiting at the door for quite some time when she saw Eli.
She smiled at her and walked to Sean, “Sean, something happened when you were having your meal. Let’s talk at the study.”
“Mmm.” Sean put his hands in his pockets and nodded, “Well, I happen to have something to tell you.”
Sean turned around and walked into the study, followed by Yvonne.
Natasha walked to Eli’s front with a strange expression and reminded her, “Tomorrow, the Madam will invite a foreign ambassador home. His wife is color blind. Also, she is allergic to perfume. Please take note.”
“Got it,” Eli said as she sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.
Natasha frowned. “You have to get their permission before turning on the TV.”
Eli didn’t want to get into trouble, she turned off the TV, took an apple, lay down on the sofa, and took a bite.
“You should not lie on the sofa. It is for you to sit. People will look down on you if you lie on it like that,” Natasha said.
Eli glanced at Natasha, got up, and walked toward the stairs.
Natasha stood in front of her, “Now Mr. President and the Madam are in the middle of a discussion. If they wanted you to listen to it, they wouldn’t have gone to the study.”
“Well, dear, I’m not going to the study, I’m just going to my room, okay?” Eli said lazily.
Natasha stood aside awkwardly.
Eli passed by her.
The more Natasha looked at Eli, the more she disliked her. She whispered, “What an uneducated person.”
Eli stopped in her tracks.
She couldn’t hold it in anymore.
She turned back and walked to Natasha, looking down at her from high above. “Is gossiping behind another’s back a well-educated manner? Why don’t you reflect on yourself?”
“My father is General Griswell. My family has been strict with me since I was a child. Of course, I’m well educated,” Natasha’s face was red.
Eli said sharply, “It’s of your own opinion that you think you received a good education. However, don’t let me hear you talking behind my back again. If you insist on provoking me, then, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”
Natasha had always thought that Eli was weak and timid. She didn’t expect her to be so fierce. Her face turned red, “What are you going to do about it? ”
“Do you really want to know?” Eli raised the corner of her mouth, turned around, and walked upstairs. When she reached the door of the study, she knocked on the door.
Yvonne opened the door and smiled, “Yes?”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Your maid said that I need your permission to watch the TV. Could I please watch the TV?” Eli asked.
“Of course, you can watch it as you wish. You don’t need my permission. Since you’re here, we’re a family. You can do whatever you want,” Yvonne said politely.
“Your maid also said that my education was lacking. My father had been a diligent director all his life. My mother was born into a well-educated family. She was a public officer when she was very young. You guys may criticize me, but don’t talk bad about my parents. Is that okay?” Eli said politely.
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault for not having taught her well. My maid had spoken carelessly. Natasha, come over and apologize,” Yvonne said seriously.
Natasha lowered her head unwillingly. She walked to Eli, peeped at Yvonne, and whispered, “I’m sorry, I misspoke.”
“Could I watch TV now?” Eli asked Natasha.
Natasha pursed her lips and did not speak.
“Of course you can. As you wish, Eli. If my maid offends you again in the future, please let me know,” Yvonne said with a smile.
Eli looked at Yvonne.
If she had guessed correctly, Yvonne was much younger than her.
However, she was warm, gentle, and mature. Her voice was also exceptionally pleasant to the ear, and it seemed that it could calm the fiercest seas in one’s heart.
She didn’t want to make a fuss about it nor did she want to offend anyone. However, she knew that she would be annoyed if Natasha were to keep pestering her in the future. After all, she had never had a good temper.
“Thanks,” Eli said. She then turned around and went downstairs.
Yvonne looked at Natasha and said, “Don’t do this again in the future. I’ve told you before.”
