Free Web NovelChapter 1187: Chapter 1187: Try Again
Their eyes met, holding each other’s gaze, until Summer Sutton sneezed.
"Try getting into trouble next time!" Watt Bennet snapped back to reality, threw her a remark, and helped her put on her coat.
Ensuring her clothes were properly arranged, making sure nothing inappropriate was exposed, Watt Bennet took her out to dinner.
Today, Summer Sutton managed to scare the entire crew; as soon as her silhouette appeared, everyone crowded around her, "Oh my, Miss Sutton, you really scared us today."
"Are you alright now? Did you get injured anywhere?"
"Thanks to Miss Sutton today, if it hadn’t been for her pull, Joy would have fallen and gotten seriously hurt."
"I’m fine, no need to worry." Summer Sutton smiled at the crowd and pulled Watt Bennet to a square table and sat down.
She’d never shared a meal with Watt Bennet in this kind of atmosphere, sitting in a countryside open courtyard, listening to the croaking frogs and insects chirping, eating simple and plain meals, surrounded by people chatting and laughing, Summer Sutton suddenly felt, this kind of feeling is quite nice.
Watt Bennet was never one to be spoiled; whatever food he was given, as long as it was edible, he could eat it.
A man used to luxury, eating such humble food at the table, didn’t utter a single complaint.
Summer Sutton ate while quietly observing his reaction.
She thought, after her hard fall today, his anger should have dissipated by now?
She tried to see some expression on his face, but Watt Bennet’s face stayed stern from start to finish, not a single change.
Summer Sutton felt helpless and continued eating quietly.
When Watt Bennet wasn’t paying attention to her, she appeared normal, her limbs moved freely.
Yet, once dinner was over and back in the room, Summer Sutton started to act strangely again.
While walking, she’d "carelessly" trip, and every time she’d manage to fall right onto Watt Bennet. When accompanying Watt Bennet for a midnight bath by the lake, she suddenly had difficulty walking, and Watt would carry her both ways.
Watt Bennet didn’t say much; when Summer Sutton wasn’t injured, he often did similar things.
Summer Sutton lay on his back, arms gently around him, with an expression as if she was enjoying herself.
"Still angry?" She tilted her head and looked at him, tentatively asking.
How could Watt Bennet not be angry?
How many days had she been away?
After finding out she’d separated from Ryan Walyon, she didn’t return to him, and Watt Bennet constantly worried something had happened.
Then unexpectedly, she ended up with the Ink Family, even got photographed by the media with Manuel Ink in Cannes!
Watt Bennet knew very well that nothing could happen between Summer Sutton and Manuel Ink, but still, he searched for her for so many days, only to find her around other men; could he not be furious?
Watt Bennet kept walking with a glum face, ignoring her words.
"Manuel’s identity is complicated; once with the Inks, I couldn’t use any communication tools," Summer Sutton tried to explain.
She had thought about contacting Watt Bennet, but considering that he’d likely storm up to the Ink Family upon knowing, she restrained her impulse.
Moreover, given the situation at the time, even if Summer Sutton wanted to contact him, it was not easy.
Watt Bennet kept walking, his face cold and silent from beginning to end.
