Chapter 216 I Didn’t Like Sweets
She pursed her lips, “What resentment?”
Hearing this, I said, “Then let’s sit down and calmly discuss the matter of William.”
She instinctively stood up to leave, but I grabbed her and pushed her back onto the sofa. Looking at
her, I said, “In theory, I shouldn’t interfere with your feelings, and I don’t even have the right to meddle
too much. But Rachel, we’ve known each other since we were kids. Although we’re not related by
blood, I consider us more than sisters. I can’t stand by and watch you make a mistake. There’s nothing
wrong with liking someone, but anyone but William.”
She pursed her lips without speaking, her eyes downcast as she said, “I won’t get close to him
anymore, rest assured, I won’t cause you any trouble.”
After speaking, she stood up and left directly, not giving me any chance to speak.
The words that reached my throat at that moment just got stuck there, unable to go up or down.
“Bang!” Her bedroom door was slammed shut, clearly indicating she didn’t want to say another word to
me.
Seeing her like this, I felt a sudden throbbing in my brow. When it came to dealing with William, I didn’t
understand why she was acting this way and for a moment, I didn’t know what to do.
She was unwilling to talk to me much, even going so far as to deliberately avoid me.

I was tired, trying to send her a message on my phone to make things clear.
But I had sent countless messages, all to no avail. Helpless, I had no choice but to wait outside. Yet, I
sat in the living room for over two hours, and she never came out.
The Hinton family called, and because I had previously promised the old lady that I would go to the old Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
house for dinner, I had no choice but to go to the old house first.
The old mansion of the Hinton family.
The old lady was discharged from the hospital, and almost all the younger generation of the Hinton
family came. It was very lively. When I arrived, Olivia came out to greet me, took my arm and said,
“Tabatha, you’re finally here. Let’s go in quickly.”
Before I could say anything, I was already pulled by her into the rest lounge in the backyard. There
were a few young people sitting in the lounge. Walter, who was sitting on the single sofa, was the most
eye- catching. To be precise, the eye-catching one was Gianna, who was standing next to him, holding
a plate of delicately cut fruits.
Yesterday, Gianna wore a white dress, topped with a soft light blue cashmere sweater. The
combination was vibrant and lively, exuding a youthful aura. However, it was already the cold winter
months, and everyone was primarily focused on staying warm, so the color of their clothes tended to be
less vibrant. Therefore, her outfit was particularly eye-catching.
After glancing at her, I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Her outfit was indeed attractive, but… wasn’t
she cold?
“Tabatha, do you want some fruit?” Olivia asked me, not waiting for my response, she continued,
“Perfect, Miss Zhao peeled a lot, Walter
doesn’t cat, you can have it.”
After speaking, she somewhat rudely snatched the fruit plate from Gianna’s hands, held it up to me,
and looked at me with a smile, saying, “Tabatha, try some, these fruits are very sweet.”
Before I could even reach out, Gianna, who was next to her, had a tense expression on her face. She
looked at us and said, “You guys should peel your own, why are you trying to take mine? These are for
Walter to eat, I peeled them myself.”
When she said this, her little face was full of a wronged expression, as if she had been bullied. The key
point was that her eyes were drooping, which was heartbreaking to see.
It wasn’t the first time I had seen Gianna. Seeing her like this, I couldn’t help but want to laugh. After all,
she was young, and all her emotions – happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy – were clearly displayed on
her face.
Olivia didn’t respond to her, instead she looked at Walter, her face serious as she asked, “Walter, do
you want to eat?”
Walter glanced at the plate Olivia had already brought to me, and said seriously, “I don’t like sweets.”
“Not sweet…” Gianna’s voice came.
But Olivia immediately interrupted, “If Walter doesn’t eat, then we will. Gianna, you wouldn’t only feed
Walter and not us, would you?”
Gianna’s face turned red, she pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Walter doesn’t like sweets? Then why did he make me get out of the car halfway to buy them last
night?
What was the problem?
I looked at him, unable to suppress my displeasure, and glared at him.
The man raised his eyebrows, as if he hadn’t seen anything.
The old lady was helped in by Dale, having just been discharged from the hospital. She was still a bit
weak, but she looked much better. Seeing me, she waved and said, “Tabatha, you’re here. Come over
and chat with grandma.”
Seeing her call me, I walked over. The old lady pulled me to sit on the sofa beside her, then looked at
Dale who was following behind and said, “Give me the stuff.”
