Free Web NovelChapter 466: Something You Need To Do
The atmosphere became more awkward. Wendy probably knew it. But it was not a big deal. Michael had left Todd among a throng of reporters. Todd wanted revenge, and Wendy could understand.
Since they had to continue eating at the same table, Wendy smiled and tried to ease the atmosphere, "It’s not a big deal. I’ll just order them for you again."
Wendy took the tablet from Michael’s hand, lowered her head, and ordered the two dishes again. When Wendy was about to pass the tablet to the waitress, Michael took the tablet back again.
It was obvious Todd had deleted those two dishes, but it was not because he was petty. He was deliberately targeting Michael.
Michael smiled and said to Todd, "Since you’re not petty, would it be okay if I ordered a few more dishes?"
"You’re more than welcome," Todd said with a reluctant smile.
"Thank you for your generosity." This was exactly the answer that Michael wanted from Todd. Michael then ordered all the dishes on the menu and said to the waitress, "Please serve everything that’s available on the menu."
The waitress took the tablet and was a little embarrassed as she said, "There’s so much food, I’m afraid the three of you won’t be able to finish everything," Wendy glanced at Michael, looked up at the waitress and said, "Don’t listen to him, just two more dishes will do."
The waiter was put in a spot, wondering if she should listen to Wendy.
"Wendy, what if these two dishes were accidentally deleted by mistake again?
Besides, Mr. Lewis is generous." Michael smiled and continued, "Serve everything.
Mr. Lewis is paying, and he is not short of money."
"That’s too much, will you be able to finish all of it? This isn’t about money," Wendy was obviously a little upset as she continued, "Michael, even Leah knows that it’s wrong to waste food."
"That’s right..." Michael looked thoughtful. "I can’t finish all of it." He deliberately pretended to think for a moment and said, "Then how about this. Let’s get some wine. I would like to have a couple of glasses."
Michael asked Todd, "Mr. Lewis, is that okay?"
If Todd said no, he would definitely look bad. Todd knew, too, that Michael was trying to mess with him. It’s no longer about money. None of them were short of money.
It’s a matter of dignity.
Obviously, Todd had deleted Michael’s food orders. Now, it seemed he had shot himself in the foot. He had made a fool out of himself.
Todd could only smile and nod, "Sure."
If Todd said no, Michael would definitely either say that Todd was stingy and couldn’t afford to pay for it, and that he must have deleted Michael’s food orders earlier on.
Todd could only swallow his pride for this one.
"Serve two bottles of your restaurant’s most expensive wine," Michael said without hesitation.
"Our most expensive wine is up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, Sir, are you sure you want to order two bottles?"
The waitress asked Michael to be sure.
"What are you talking about, a few hundred thousand is nothing. Did you not hear?
Mr. Lewis has plenty of money."
Michael looked angry.
"Sure, I’ll get them immediately," the waitress nodded and left immediately. She was afraid that if she had stayed a little longer, Michael would change his mind and cancel the order.
...
Soon, the wine was on the table.
Michael watched the waiter pouring the wine and said, "My wife doesn’t drink, some wine for just Mr. Todd and me would be perfect. Thank you."
After the waiter poured the wine, neither Michael nor Todd started to drink, or even touch the wine glasses. The atmosphere was surprisingly quiet.
Wendy had a headache just from looking at the two bottles of wine. Should she have come to join them for this meal in the first place?
After sighing, Wendy smiled helplessly, "Why don’t you drink? Don’t you want to drink? Don’t leave until you finish drinking today."
"I suddenly don’t want to drink anymore. With such good food, I feel more hungry now. Let’s eat first." Michael picked up some food for Wendy and said with a smile, "Wine can never be wasted, can it?
"Todd can always take it back and drink it if we can’t finish it today."
Michael’s move was really deliberately bullying Todd. However, it was Todd who cut down his dishes in the first place. Michael is someone who never forgets to take revenge. What’s more, Todd was also a rival in love.
From the beginning to the end, Michael did not take a sip of wine. When checking out, Michael didn’t pretend to pay the bill politely but deliberately followed Todd leisurely.
When the bill came out, he deliberately smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Todd, for your hospitality. You have to come to Lake City in the future. We will have another drink when we have a chance."
The word "drink" was now an insult to Todd.
Seeing Todd paying the bill with a gloomy expression, Michael was in a good mood.
"Hello sir, these two bottles of wine have already been packed for you." The waiter handed over the wine.
Todd’s face became darker, and he said coldly: "No, take it to feed the dog." freewebnσvel.cøm
After speaking, Todd turned and left.
"...feed the dog?" The waiter’s eyes widened as if he had misheard something. Take such expensive wine to feed the dog?
"Maybe, give it to me instead, please." Michael deliberately took the wine, and then took Wendy’s hand to chase after Todd.
Then, he handed the wine to Todd and said, "Mr. Todd, I know you are not short of money, but this wine is pretty good. Take it home and have it at another time."
Michael forcibly stuffed the wine into Todd’s hand.
Todd’s eyebrows dipped low. Had Wendy not been here, Todd would probably have had a fight with Michael.
But since she was here, Todd couldn’t say anything.
"Mr. Todd, do you still want to be our personal driver and take us home?" Michael deliberately said the personal driver part, trying to annoy him more.
Obviously, Todd was angry.
Wendy took Michael’s hand and told him to stop talking.
Wendy looked at Todd, smiled, and said, "Todd, it will be fine for Michael and me to go back on our own, you don’t have to drive us back. If you ever come to Lake City, let me know and I will invite you to dinner."
"Wendy..." Todd actually had a lot to say.
But with Michael here, Todd couldn’t say anything more.
After sighing insignificantly, Todd finally said, "let me know before you leave, I’ll see you off."
After saying this, Todd turned and left.
After Todd walked away, Wendy turned to look at Michael who had a very happy face, and said calmly, "What the he*l are you doing, Michael, when did Todd offend you?"
"Wendy, it’s unfair. Didn’t you see that he deliberately reduced my dishes?" Michael was upset.
"And you left him among reporters," Wendy said.
"I didn’t, it’s just that my bodyguards didn’t help him." Michael said, "My bodyguards must have thought that as long as we were protected, it will be fine."
...
Wendy felt a little helpless upon hearing Michael’s excuses. However, it doesn’t matter at all. They were about to leave Lake City anyway. There were not many opportunities for her to meet Todd, let alone Michael.
Seeing that Wendy hadn’t spoken, Michael skipped the matter and said, "I will let Mr.
York pick us up right now."
Mr. York was waiting nearby and drove the car over quickly.
It was getting late, Wendy had just been out of the hospital today, and they had nothing to do next, so they went straight back to Wendy’s home. Michael also wanted Wendy to rest early.
After arriving at the place, Michael took the lead and got out of the car, walked around to Wendy, and helped her open the car door. He took Wendy’s hand and went upstairs with her.
Entering the room, Wendy looked at everything she was familiar with. The room was obviously cleaned up, it was very neat and tidy as if nothing happened in the room before.
It’s just that Wendy couldn’t forget, just a few days ago, she almost had an accident in her own home. Thinking of the incident with Clement, Wendy’s eyebrows sank.
In this matter, she overestimated herself and underestimated the enemy.
Fortunately, Michael arrived in time, otherwise, the consequences might be unthinkable.
However, Wendy was in a coma at the time, and she didn’t know what happened afterward. Thinking of this, Wendy thought of Todd’s hesitation at the time.
Should she find an opportunity to ask Todd what happened after that day? However, Wendy was a little scared. She was afraid that what happened might be something she couldn’t bear.
"What’s the matter?" Michael watched Wendy standing still, she didn’t look well, he asked worriedly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Wendy shook her head and said, "Let’s go to a hotel."
Wendy didn’t want to live here anymore, she was a little scared of being reminded of Clement. Especially in the bedroom, Wendy looked over it but didn’t have the courage to step in.
Hearing Wendy’s words, Michael breathed a sigh of relief. He actually didn’t want to bring Wendy back. Clement’s incident had a greater impact on Michael than on Wendy.
At that time, Michael saw Wendy was wounded and her body covered in blood, and he wanted to thrash Clement.
However, Michael didn’t dare not bring her back because he was afraid that Wendy would ask her why he didn’t go home. Michael could not tell Wendy the truth.
Therefore, he could only keep it to himself, as if he didn’t know anything.
Now that Wendy indicated that she wanted to stay in a hotel, Michael was very happy, but he asked, "Why? Isn’t it good to live in your own home?"
"I just want to stay in a hotel, okay?" Wendy turned to look at Michael in a serious manner.
"Of course." Michael nodded, "You can live wherever you want. We can go to a hotel now."
Holding Wendy’s hand, Michael took Wendy and headed out again. Michael immediately asked Mr. York to book the best hotel possible for Wendy.
After leaving home, Wendy felt a lot calmer, but deep in her mind, she still couldn’t help thinking about that day and what really happened on that day. Wendy always had a bad feeling in her heart and she couldn’t figure out why.
"Wendy, are you really alright? Don’t say you are if you are not." Michael saw Wendy being in a depressed state and keeping silent. He was worried about her. "If you feel unwell, you must not hold it in, you know?"
Wendy shook her head and smiled: "I’m fine, don’t worry."
...
Todd was sitting in the car and the window was rolled down. He didn’t head back with Wendy and Michael. Instead, he drove halfway and drove back to Wendy’s house.
When the car stopped downstairs, he saw that the lights at Wendy’s house were already on. He knew that they were back.
But not long after that, he saw Michael and Wendy coming out again. Michael’s eyebrows dropped low. The car stopped not far from them. Todd saw them with their hands clasped together and leaving the place.
Seeing Wendy get into the car, Todd subconsciously started the car and followed them. It wasn’t until Wendy’s car stopped that Todd’s car also halted.
This was a hotel. Todd frowned, somewhat puzzled. They obviously went home, why did they come to a hotel?
Soon, Todd thought of the reason. It must be Michael who wanted to come out after returning home or Wendy who was unwilling to spend the night at home. However, Todd couldn’t guess whether it was Wendy or Michael who was unwilling. The closer they were together, the more jealous Todd was.
Yes, jealous.
Todd was going crazy with jealousy. He hoped that Wendy was closely connected to him. He hoped that the person holding her shoulders was himself. He hoped that the first person she saw when she woke up was also himself.
Curling his fingers one by one, Todd took a deep breath. It wasn’t until Wendy and Michael disappeared from his eyes that Todd gradually calmed down.
No, he can’t just watch Wendy leave Lake City like this. No matter what means he could use, he would keep Wendy in this city.
Todd lowered his eyes, in the next second, he took out his phone. After a while, Todd made a phone call.
Todd looked forward coldly, fingers clenching the steering wheel, and then, he said, "There is something you need to do..."
...
Michael knew about Todd all the way. Mr. York immediately told Michael what he found out about Todd. However, Michael did not tell Wendy. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
After all, he brought a hundred bodyguards this time. How could he not know that someone was following them? Michael didn’t ask Mr. York to do anything, he deliberately let Todd follow along.
He just wanted to let Todd see how good his relationship was with Wendy and how affectionate he was so that Todd would eventually give up. Michael booked the most luxurious suite.
Looking at the different environment, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief. After a busy day, Wendy was a little tired.
She looked in the direction of the bathroom with her mouth slightly agape, she asked, "Do you want to take a shower first?"
"Let’s take a shower together." Michael smiled and stretched out his hand to wrap around Wendy’s waist. "I have been busy taking care of you these past few days, and I haven’t taken a shower. It would be perfect if you could join me in a nice shower."
These words made Wendy blush instantly.
She stretched out her hand to push Michael away, coughed lightly, and said, "Don’t be a tease!"
Wendy took a step back, kept the distance between herself and Michael, and continued: "I’m going first then."
After speaking, Wendy turned around and opened the suitcase behind her. The suitcase was brought in by Michael’s people, and it had some simple daily necessities and some clothes inside. Taking out the change of clothes, Wendy quickly ran into the bathroom.
She was afraid that if she was slow, Michael would be able to catch up. Even though Wendy was not running slowly, when she was about to close the door, the bathroom door was pushed ajar by Michael...
