President Williams Woos His Ex-wife Again

Beth grinned at Mark Cook constrainedly.

“What a coincidence to meet you here, uncle.” She said.

He looked her up and down, and finally returned the diamond ring to her

“Why do you want to sell your diamond ring? Are you short of money?”

“No, I don’t...” Beth denied immediately, for she didn’t want him to see her abjection and embarrassment.

Mark figured out her situation quickly. He spoke to her softly,”If you need my help, just tell me.”

Beth knew that all the Cooks disliked Mark very much. They treated him just like a dog. But Beth was really moved at that moment.

Mark had helped her many times, and he was much better than any members of his family.

“I am not short of money...Thank you.” She was not that close to him, and was ashamed to ask him for money.

Now that Mark was here, it was impossible for her to sell her ring. She turned around and went out.

Mark followed her and grasped her wrist.

“Uncle, please let me go.” Beth struggled.

Mark smiled and let go of her hand. He gently said,”You said you want to thank me before. It is almost noon now, and I haven’t had lunch yet.”

“Do you mind inviting your benefactor for lunch?” Mark put one hand in the his trousers pocket and raised his eyebrow.

“Invite you for lunch?” Beth clenched her ring.

She had no reason to refuse him, since Mark had helped her several times.

So Beth agreed, and asked him,”What would you like to eat?”

She has only €25, so she hoped that Mark wouldn’t order too expensive dishes.

It was not that she was mean, but that she had to save money for her brother’s medical expenses.

Mark smiled, pointing to a milk tea shop outside.

“I'm not a picky eater.”

His eyes were gentle, as if there were bright stars in them.

His voice was hoarse. “If you want to thank me, please buy me a cup of milk tea.”

“I love cherry ones.”
