Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

They returned to the manor.

“It’s true that when a man and a woman combine their strength, we won’t feel as tired. It seems that you have a good haul this time, Mr. Hardesty. I don’t think we can finish so many fish here!”

William produced a gentle smile and replied with a crisp and sound voice, “If you cannot finish all of them, you can put them back. Letting the fishes escape danger is a good deed on your part.”

“What kind of logic is that? If you really want all fishes to live freely and survive without facing any danger, you shouldn’t go fishing on them in the first place, no?” Riley looked at more than a dozen fishes in the bucket and had to admit that he was really a good fishing expert.

Fishing? Expert?

Why did her mind wander to a line from the Little Mermaid?

William flashed another one of his smiles again, “If one were to immerse oneself in a safe and comfortable haven for some time, one would lose their bearing on what it means to be happy. Without struggles and obstacles, happiness would feel cheap and hollow. You have to remind someone what it means to be happy from time to time.”

What he said sounded reasonable and she couldn’t find any words as a response. However, why did she have a feeling that he was hinting at something?

If one would cease to feel the true essence of happiness while they were always happy, would someone forget about their unfortunate circumstances if he or she were to be plunged into such a state for a long time? Would one get used to being unfortunate in life?

She felt somewhat annoyed. Why did she have to apply that logic on herself?

When Sarah saw the two of them engaging in such vested conversation, she blinked playfully, “Hey, it seems that you two are having a great time talking to each other! Should I find a place to hide?” Then, she giggled.

Riley grabbed her hand abruptly and threatened her in a low voice, “You rascal, aren’t you getting too full of yourself after being a go-between for some time?”

Sarah grinned widely without any shame, “It seems that you are really taking your undeserved gain for granted! Hmph!”

Damn it, she didn’t expect that she would be seen through.

To tell the truth, whenever she was with William, Riley would feel very relaxed. He was very gentle, and they would never have the chance to fight or have any conflict. He was good at resolve awkward moments, and he was attentive to details… He was really the epitome of a model boyfriend.

“But, now I…”

“To hell with that! You won’t meet a good man very often, and besides, he’s not just merely good in the sense of the word! Just give up on Euan, that big shark, and embrace your dolphin!”

Her analogy hit the mark in terms of their images. Euan was a ruthless and emotionless shark while William was a gentle dolphin.

“Are you thirsty? Drink some water.” William handed a uncorked mineral water bottle to her.

“Both of you, how do you plan to eat this fish? Steam it? Braise it? Or cook it? With their size… what is the best method to process them?”

“Pfft!”

Riley spat out the water she had just poured into her mouth!

Sarah and William turned to look at Riley at the same time, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Cough cough cough!” Her throat caught some of that water as she continued to clutch her chest while coughing, “I’m fine… I’m fine.”

Eating some fish? Damn, she suddenly recalled a scene from when she was eating fish with Euan. Her brain was now full of Euan’s devilish face.

William patted her back, “I think you should use a glass to drink water. It’s always easy to choke yourself on water if you drink from a bottle.”

“That’s not it, don’t mind me.”

Sarah swayed her gaze back and forth between the two of them and thought that they were really a match made in heaven! If they got together, they would be the most compatible couple!

“You guys go on, I need to bring the fish to the kitchen.” Sarah said while stifling a laughter.

Sarah was really doing a good job as a matchmaker.

Mr. Hardesty thought that he was really satisfied with Sarah’s performance. He vowed to pay her back handsomely later on.
