Chapter 105 Are You Worried I Might Do Something to Nola

Chapter 105 Were You Worried I Might Do Something to Nola

Nola's face lit up with delight upon hearing Jefferson's compliment, and her voice even softened.

"Thank you, Mr. Larsen, for your kind words."

Asher said in a sarcastic tone, "Aren't women from the Gentry family good at serving people?"

Asher didn’t bother to hide the disdain in his eyes.

Nola's face slightly paled, and she felt a bit embarrassed.

"Well, I'm not bad at serving either. I'll offer this dish to you, Ms. Nola."

Darren smiled and offered the food he had just prepared to Nola.

She said with a grateful smile, "Thank you, Mr. Darren."

"We're of a similar age; there's no need to address me as Mr. Darren. Just call me by my name."

A few casual conversations helped alleviate the tension.

However, Asher seemed still angry. He cut the food on his plate but did not take a single bite.

Elianna knew he was angry because he attempted to belittle the Gentry family to humiliate her, but it didn’t work.

The atmosphere grew awkward during the meal, but Darren helped diffuse the tension.

Throughout the entire meal, Nola attended to Jefferson by his side. Jefferson's attitude towards her had changed, for he no longer showed the disgust as he had done last time. He was giving her

some respect.

Furthermore, he hadn't said a single word to Elianna from start to finish.

Initially, Elianna felt relieved, but gradually, she began to sense a different emotion creeping in. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Was he really interested in someone else?

After all, they had been together for a while, and perhaps he was growing tired of her.

Moreover, Nola who was gentle had a soothing voice that could make anyone feel at ease when she spoke.

No wonder that Jefferson would choose her.

As the final dessert was cleared away, the awkward lunch came to an end.

Everyone remained seated, waiting for Jefferson's order.

"You can just leave now."

Jefferson said casually.

With his words, everyone promptly stood up, except for Nola, who hesitated for a moment.

However, having learned her lesson from the previous encounter, she didn't rush and also got up.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got up, Darren cast a sidelong glance at her and slowly added, "You stay with me."

Nola's eyes lit up and sat back.

Jefferson looked up at Elianna, who had paused and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, Anna? Worry that I might do something to Nola?"

Elianna snapped out of it and realized her momentary lapse. She lowered her gaze.

"Mr. Larsen, you must be joking. Excuse us, Asher and I will go back first."

"Alright."

Jefferson responded indifferently.

As they were about to leave, Elianna couldn't resist stealing a glance back.

The waiter was closing the door, and through the crack, she saw Nola leaning closer to Jefferson.

...

As they were in the elevator, Elianna felt she was reeling.

However, she didn't have much time to think about why she was having these emotions because she needed to calm Asher down before he broke off the engagement.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Asher hurriedly walked out.

"Asher, wait."

Ignoring her completely, Asher went straight for the car door.

Just as he pulled the door open, it was swiftly closed again. Elianna stopped him from opening it with her back against the car door.

"I know you don't want to hear me saying anything right now, but I hope you won't tell anyone about this."

Her words instantly triggered Asher's anger. He pointed at her and cursed.

"Elianna! Do you have no shame at all? You have done this dirty deed, and now you expect me to keep it a secret for you?"

"It's not about keeping it a secret for me but preserving your dignity."

Elianna retorted, "Do you want this matter to become public?"

Asher fell silent and glared at her.

Of course, he didn't want others to know about this. Having his fiance cheat on him was the most humiliating thing he could imagine.

Elianna continued, "Asher, let's be frank. Why did you agree to marry me in the first place? Because you believed that women from the Gentry family are quiet and obedient, even if their husbands cheat, they can turn a blind eye and live their lives as if nothing happens."

"Think about it, if it were any other noble lady, how would they react if they found out about your affair with Kenley?"
