She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 265 - Dont Bother Me Im Annoyed
Chapter 265: Chapter 265 Don’t Bother Me, I’m Annoyed
Hope Williams pursed her lips, not knowing what to say to Liam Cloud.
“I’m taking you somewhere,” Liam Cloud said, clutching Hope’s hand.
“No, it’s too late. Luke and Willow need to sleep,” Hope immediately refused.
“It’s barely evening. Going to bed so early will turn those two into little porkers.”
“…”
“You promised me last time.”
“What did I promise you?”
Liam Cloud’s brows slightly knitted, “Hope Williams, this way you’ll easily accumulate debts of gratitude.”
“… But I really don’t remember what I promised you.”
Liam Cloud’s aura lowered slightly, chillingly cold.
Forgotten by this woman again, this feeling really fucking annoyed him.
Hope Williams blinked, sensing his change in mood, subconsciously stepping back, not out of fear, but upon seeing his saddened expression, her mind raced, trying to recall everything from the past few months, yet she couldn’t figure out what she had agreed to.
Hope Williams pursed her lips, when had her brain malfunctioned and agreed to something with this guy?
“Um… was it to treat you to a meal?”
Liam Cloud’s chilly demeanor eased slightly as he glanced at her, “Thank you for remembering.”
“…”
It had been several months ago, why was he still holding onto this?
Hope Williams awkwardly smiled, having made a promise, she couldn’t just renege, “So, what would you like to eat? I’ll treat you tomorrow…”
“Today.”
“Today? This late at night, what am I supposed to feed you, lint?”
Liam Cloud furrowed his brows, “Today.”
Hope Williams rubbed her forehead.
“Let’s go.” Liam Cloud bent down, not giving Hope Williams a chance to refuse, and hoisted her onto his shoulder, “You two follow.”
“Liam Cloud!”
Downstairs of the apartment building.
Hope Williams quickly wriggled down from his shoulder, and Liam Cloud let her.
Hope Williams, “Are you sick?”
Liam Cloud echoed, “Are you sick?”
Hope Williams took a deep breath, “You!”
Liam Cloud smugly arched his eyebrow, clearly in a good mood.
“Big Sister!”
A call came through.
A row of car headlights lit up in front of her, about a dozen cars neatly parked by the roadside.
Blinded by the headlights, Hope Williams blinked as the man from the lead car stepped out, walked up to her with a smile, and respectfully called out, “Big Sister, please get in the car.”
“Don’t call me that.” Hope Williams frowned at the man.
Their Big Boss was Liam Cloud!
Wesley Ruiz was unbothered, “What’s the problem with calling you Big Sister?”
Those in the cars behind were all Liam Cloud’s brothers, most of whom Hope Williams recognized; they got out and joined in the teasing.
Hope Williams turned back to glare at Liam Cloud.
Liam Cloud was hooking his lip, slightly raising his eyebrows. Seeing Hope Williams staring, he slightly curtailed the smile on his lips and reprimanded Wesley Ruiz, “Just think it, don’t say it.”
“Big Sister, the Big Boss really only has eyes for you, he’s even moved his base back to the country for you,” a cheeky girl stepped forward and affectionately patted Hope Williams’s shoulder, jokingly.
“…” Hope Williams’s face darkened, “I have nothing to do with him, I have a husband, don’t matchmake.”
Liam Cloud’s expression darkened instantly.
The atmosphere suddenly grew tense, those who were teasing straightened their faces, not daring to make a sound.
“Sister Hope, our bad, our bad, let’s not talk about it anymore, let’s get in the car.” The girl who had just joked, Aaron Ruiz, quickly intervened to defuse the tension.
Since everyone was here, Hope Williams didn’t say much more, not wanting to dampen everyone’s spirits after being apart for so long.
Wesley Ruiz opened the car door, and Hope Williams got in with the two youngsters.
Liam Cloud stood still, his tall, sturdy figure slightly somber, Hope Williams could see that he was obviously upset.
She felt somewhat helpless.
Aaron Ruiz glanced at Hope Williams, pressing her hands together in a pleading gesture.
“Liam Cloud,” Hope Williams called out.
“…” He didn’t move an inch.
“Are you coming or not?”
“…”
He still ignored her.
Hope Williams took a deep breath.
Everyone who dared not speak hurriedly made pleading gestures, looking earnestly at Hope Williams.
Hope Williams opened the car door and got out, patted his back, and said, “Just a moment ago you dragged me out here like it was a matter of life and death, now you’re not leaving?”
Liam Cloud glanced at her sideways, avoiding her hand.
“Stop bothering me, I’m really annoyed.”
Hope Williams frowned slightly, “Then just stand here by yourself, I’m going back.”
“Come back.”
Liam Cloud grabbed Hope Williams’ hand, took a deep breath, and suppressed his emotions, “Can’t you just coddle me a little?”
“How old are you to still need coddling?”
Liam Cloud gritted his teeth; he could never outdo this woman, he only got frustrated by her.
“Are you getting in the car or not?”
“Yes.”
Liam Cloud turned away and took the passenger seat.
Aaron Ruiz secretly gave Hope Williams a thumbs up, having realized early that she was the only one who could handle Liam Cloud.
Inside the club.
Liam Cloud had booked a large private room, crowded with brothers he had been through thick and thin with. The club had arranged for several beautiful hostesses, but Liam Cloud had sent them away.
Luke and Willow were not uncomfortable at this gathering; from a young age, they had roamed wild with them, and the two kids were very familiar with everyone. They were quickly surrounded by everyone calling them ‘brother’ and ‘uncle,’ endearing even the toughest men.
“Come on, bring out the drinks, Sister Hope, you don’t know, since you were away, our Big Boss almost moved his lair here.”
“It’s hard enough to meet up, tonight no one is going home sober.”
“No going home sober, no going home sober.”
Everyone enthusiastically egged on.
Liam Cloud was not in high spirits; he leaned back on the sofa as soon as he arrived, under the warm yellow lights, his silver hair shining, his collar open, adding an air of casual defiance.
Listening to everyone else urging Hope Williams to drink.
His dark eyes deepened, slantingly fixing on Wesley Ruiz, the most vigorous in egging on, “Drinking what?”
“Alcohol.”
What else would they drink here but alcohol?
Liam Cloud remained silent, staring at Wesley Ruiz; the atmosphere weirdly quieted down, everyone’s gaze fixated on his clearly troubled face.
“Switch to juice.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Juice?
Those holding their drink cups stiffened, all eyes locked on Liam Cloud, then collectively turned to Hope Williams.
Are they kidding!
A bunch of grown men out to have fun drinking juice?
They still had to toast to Hope Williams, with juice?
Liam Cloud glanced at her, and not hearing any objection from Hope Williams, returned his gaze to Wesley Ruiz.
Wesley Ruiz shuddered and quickly said, “I’ll go switch it right now.”
Reluctantly, everyone put down their drinks.
Hope Williams, seeing them looking like they were being robbed of their love, smiled helplessly, knowing it was because of her, and said, “It’s fine, carry on with your drinking, don’t mind me.”
“No, no, no, drinking juice… is actually pretty good, it’s healthy.”
“Luke, Willow, what will you drink?” Aaron Ruiz holding Willow, asked Luke.
“Is there milk?”
“Of course.”
Someone quickly went to prepare milk for Luke and Willow, pouring each a glass, “Thanks, Sister Ruiz.”
“No need to thank me, have Luke and Willow gotten fatter?”
“Grandma says fat is cuter and prettier.”
Hope Williams gently shook her head, it seemed these two kids had really been fattened up by Alitzel, their little faces looking much rounder.
“Grandma? Where did you two get a grandma from?”
Aaron Ruiz instinctively blurted out, because in her mind, Hope Williams had always been taking care of the two children alone.
“Grandma is daddy’s mommy, don’t you know, Sister Ruiz?”
“Daddy? Who is your daddy?”
“Cough, cough!” Wesley Ruiz coughed loudly to remind Aaron Ruiz.
“Bang!”
The crystal teacup was heavily placed on the glass table.
Everyone was startled.
Hope Williams was also startled by this guy, as Liam Cloud nonchalantly poured himself a full glass of juice, then downed it in one gulp.
