Sumr Sutton stood obediently to the side, like a student who had done sothing wrong, silently observing his reaction.
Watt Bennet seed to be trying hard to restrain his anger, taking several deep breaths. His face slowly lifted, and his gaze fixed on her again, "Tell , why did you go abroad this ti?"
He had beco much steadier than before. When provoked by Sumr Sutton, he no longer just focused on his anger, or thought only of tornting her.
Now, he would calmly ask her for reasons first.
Breathing steadily, he just looked at her, waiting for her answer.
She’d better give him a good reason!
Otherwise...
As he looked, he suddenly curled his lips into a cold smile.
Sumr Sutton found his smile rather creepy, making her extrely uncomfortable under his gaze. She took several steps back, "I already said, I just wanted to take a break. I was a bit tired recently."
She was undoubtedly tired, Watt could imagine that.
A woman who didn’t understand business managent, managing so many companies, how could she not be tired?
But before, had she ever said she was tired, or complained?
Sumr Sutton wasn’t soone to complain, and Watt knew her.
Her reason, he didn’t believe a single word of it.
"Give a better reason." Coldly, he said again.
Sumr Sutton seed not to expect that he completely didn’t believe her, but since she had already spoken, she could only stubbornly continue.
"I told you, that’s the reason." Her gaze shifted stiffly away; Sumr Sutton didn’t dare to look at him directly.
Watt looked at her coldly, seemingly pondering over her words.
Sumr Sutton cautiously glanced at him, not knowing how credible she appeared in his eyes.
Watt remained silent for a long while after her words, not probing further, simply saying slowly, "In that case, rest abroad for a while then!"
Before Sumr Sutton could relax, he added, "I’ll co to see you every ten days."
Sumr Sutton looked at him in astonishnt, unable to believe what she heard.
"No, no! Aren’t you busy? I’m an adult, I don’t need company, just focus on your work. Don’t worry about ! I can take care of myself." She seed a bit flustered, waving her hands repeatedly.
Seeing her like this made Watt’s gaze sharp again.
The two of them stood there in the garden in a standoff, just looking at each other without knowing how much ti passed until a voice suddenly broke the silence, "Sumr, what are you doing there?"
A strange male voice startled the two of them in the garden. Sumr Sutton stiffly turned her face to see Manuel Ink standing not far away, her face turning pale.
Watt slowly turned his head, following her gaze to Manuel Ink’s face, and his eyes instantly grew cold.
The two n’s gazes t, and because of the distance, Sumr Sutton couldn’t see Manuel Ink’s expression clearly, only Watt’s.
Watt’s gaze was icy, cold as a piercing wind, even lowering the pressure in the garden.
"Is this the reason you refuse to go back?" Still staring at Manuel Ink, Watt coldly asked.
"No!" Sumr Sutton was truly panicked, waving her hands several tis, trying to explain, but the situation seed too complicated to clarify.
"Then what is it?" Watt pressed on.
Sumr Sutton wore a distressed look, not knowing how to clarify things.
