Mr. Waltson, Refrain Yourself

Amy looked up at Edwin.

No matter how naive she was, she knew something.

It was not reasonable for her to have dinner with a man who liked her best friend alone when her best friend was not there.

“I’m sorry, Edwin. I have something to do tomorrow.”

“What about the day after tomorrow?”

“The day after tomorrow…” Amy felt a little headache and said awkwardly, “I can’t go out the day after tomorrow. My brother watched me very carefully.”

“It’s just a meal. It won’t take you too long. At most… Half an hour?”

“I’m really sorry, Edwin.”

Edwin was almost sure now. “Amy, why are you hiding from me?”

Amy thought for a while and smiled, “no, Edwin. It’s really inconvenient for me. How about this? I’ll treat you to dinner when Shane comes back.”

“Why do you wait for her to come back?”

Amy smiled politely and said, “Edwin, I seldom go out alone. If you have anything to say, just tell me now.”

“Amy, you used to be very enthusiastic about me. But recently, you have been avoiding me. Did I do something wrong?”

Amy hastily waved her hand and said, “no, no, No. Edwin, you are a good teacher, really.”

“So that’s why Shane didn’t allow you to get in touch with me?”

Amy was stunned for a while and said, “why did Shane do that? Of course not.”

Edwin smiled helplessly. “The day before Shane left, didn’t you contact her? Did she really tell you nothing?”

Amy shook her head, “no… should she tell me something?”

Edwin sighed, “actually… I want to invite you to dinner for the matter of Shane.”

Amy pressed her lips and asked, “Shane’s?”

“Yes, I want to pursue Shane, so I made an appointment with her the night before she set out. Shane said that she needed some time to think about it, but I don’t want to wait any longer, so I want you, who knows Shane best, to talk about her with me.”

Hearing Edwin’s words, Amy felt somehow relieved.

“I don’t know much about Shane, but I’m willing to share it with you if Edwin needs it.”

“Then tomorrow night…”

She nodded with a smile. “Okay. Edwin, send me the address. Half an hour is enough.”

“Amy, could you please keep it a secret for me?”

“Of course, you have to come out and share it with others.”

“I mean, keep the secret of our meeting tomorrow night for me. I haven’t succeeded in pursuing her yet. If I am refused, I will feel a little embarrassed. The less people know about it, the better.”

Amy couldn’t help laughing and said, “okay.”

“Don’t tell your guardian. I think he is hostile to me…”

Amy nodded, “okay.”

Edwin patted her on the shoulder and said, “then you should go to the appointment as soon as possible. I’m really sorry to have delayed you for so long.”

“Nothing.”

Amy smiled and nodded at Edwin before she turned around and left.

Staring at Amy’s back, the smile on Edwin’s face gradually faded away.

After a long time, he sighed, turned around and walked back to the school.

After returning home from school in the afternoon, Amy hummed a tune and entered the house.

Seeing Max come back, Amy greeted him while changing her shoes.

“Max Brother, why are you so early today?”

Max, who was drinking tea, glanced at her, picked up his tea cup and said arrogantly, “yes, I’m free recently.”

Amy changed her shoes and walked into the room. “Wow, it’s so rare for a workaholic to idle away. It’s so boring.”

She sat down beside Max.

Max curled his lips and said, “yes, I’m a little bored.”

“Then you can go out for a date.”

Max asked, squinting at her.

Amy quickly raised her hands and made a surrender. “I swear, I’m not nosy. I just said it casually for reference.”

“She is very busy.”

Amy pouted. It seemed that she had already asked.

Max Brother must be very depressed now.

Yes, it must be.

After all, a good opportunity had been wasted.

Amy was lost in various fancies and conjectures when Max looked at her and said, “come back early tomorrow.”

“What?” Amy looked at him and asked, “why?”

“Go to the opera.”

“I won’t go,” Amy refused without hesitation.

“What? Can you go with someone like Noah Collins? Can you go with me?”

Amy was surprised. He sent someone to beat her up and asked her about it.

“He threatened me to go there. Didn’t I do that to protect you?”

“No matter what your purpose is, you have gone with him in the end. What? Can you go with him? Can’t you go with me? I’m not as good as him?”

Amy stared at Max in disbelief.

How… How could it be possible to tell that a child was angry and mischievous.

“Why are you looking at me?”

Amy said gloomily, “I… I slept inside all night.”

“Then go to sleep with me again.”

After Max finished his words, the two of them both paused.

Realizing there was something wrong with his words, Max hurriedly said, “I mean, go to the opera and listen to it.”

Amy lowered her head and held back her laughter.

Max Brother must have been very embarrassed just now.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime mistake to see Max make.

When she was hesitating whether she should laugh at him or not, Max added, “I’ll ask the driver to pick you up early.”

“Don’t be too early. After seven o’clock tomorrow night, okay?”

She suddenly found that people were either fine, or a pile of things piled up on the same day.

“Why?”

Didn’t Shane come back? She had nothing else to do until seven o’clock.

Amy scratched between her eyebrows. She had promised to keep it a secret

“Tomorrow, I have to go out to deal with some personal affairs. It may take more than half an hour.”

Max snorted, “what personal matter?”

“It’s not convenient to tell you about girls.”

“You are a high school student, but you are busier than me.”

Amy shrugged and said, “so, Max Brother, please forgive me and change the time.”

Max rolled his eyes at her and walked towards the dining room.

Amy looked back at him and said in a spoiled tone, “Max Brother.”

“Stop shouting. I know. Come and have dinner.”

Amy smiled and said, “here you are.”

She sat opposite Max and looked at Max with a smile.

Max pretended to be impatient. “Why are you looking at me like that? What’s wrong with you?”

Amy shook her head and smiled.

Since she had a serious talk with Max Brother.

She found that the atmosphere between her and Max Brother had really changed a lot.

She didn’t feel stressed at home now.

This feeling was inexplicably good.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
