Chapter 55: Warning and Threat (1)
The two arrived at the parking lot and got into the car.
Helena fastened her seatbelt and curiously asked, “How come you came to the museum?”
Willis started the car casually, saying, “I went abroad for business and took some cultural relics along. I’m donating them to the museum on my way back.”
Helena, with respect, said, “On behalf of the country and the people, thank you.”
Willis glanced at her indifferently, “Just a few days of not seeing each other, and you’re talking to me so formally? Don’t think of me as that great. Donating cultural relics can enhance the company’s reputation and also provide a reasonable tax avoidance.”
Helena paused, looking at his handsome and profound profile, and smiled, “You’re becoming more and more like a qualified businessman.”
Willis smirked, “Making fun of me for being too business-like?”
Helena chuckled, “Wouldn’t dare.”
“Where do you want to eat?”
“Anywhere.”
Willis drove her to a standalone building near the river.
The ancient-looking plaque at the entrance was engraved with two majestic characters: Wonder Palace.
It looked like a small palace, with its exterior resembling an exquisite and magnificent building.
Luxury cars were parked at the entrance, and their license plates were all covered.
After getting out of the car, Willis handed the car keys to the parking attendant at the entrance.
Following him inside, the club operated on a membership basis, ensuring high privacy.
Willis seemed to be a frequent visitor, and as soon as they entered the lobby, the manager warmly welcomed them, exchanged greetings, and politely led them inside.
They reached a private room at the end of the corridor.
Entering the room, seating themselves, and after the manager exchanged a few pleasantries, he left.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Willis handed the menu to Helena, “What do you want to eat, feel free to choose.”
Helena took the menu and only ordered a dish she liked, letting Willis order the rest.
In three years of marriage, she knew everything about him like the back of her hand, and she couldn’t forget it.
After she finished ordering, Willis moved the menu in front of himself. He had the waiter remove the dishes he liked and replaced them all with what Helena liked.
The waiter who took the order was now filled with question marks, unable to understand this kind of love.
When the dishes arrived, Willis used the public chopsticks to pick up food for Helena, saying, “Eat more.”
Helena also picked up a dish for him, looking at his slightly lean face and asked, “Were you busy during the week abroad? You seem to have lost some weight.”
Willis picked up a piece of fish and put it on Helena’s plate, saying, “It’s okay, the food overseas isn’t as delicious as what you make.”
Helena smiled knowingly, understanding that he was deliberately teasing her.
Wherever he went, he stayed in the best hotels, and naturally, he ate the best food.
How could the dishes made by world-renowned chefs compare to her home-cooked meals?
When they were almost done eating, Willis went out to take a business call.
Helena got up to go to the bathroom.
The interior decoration was quite distinctive, even the bathroom was designed with an antique style, very elegant.
Coming out of the bathroom, Helena walked back along the corridor.
Just as she was about to turn the corner, a sudden force pulled at her clothes, pushing her into a small garden on the side.
Helena quickly turned to look.
The person who grabbed her was Susan.
Being entangled one after another, even if someone had a good temper, Helena was a bit impatient now, frowning and asking, “What do you want?”
Susan remained silent, dragging her behind a tall and dense ficus tree, glaring at her aggressively, and said angrily, “You malicious woman, I hate you!”
But Susan couldn’t swallow her pride, her face turned purple, choking, “Why did you come here?”
Helena spoke calmly, “To the restaurant, of course, to eat. What else could I do?”
Susan bit her lip, “Is it because of Willis?”
“Yes.”
Susan’s expression changed, looking sinister, and sarcastically said, “You’ve already signed the divorce agreement, about to get divorced, and yet you follow Willis out for a free meal and drink. Shameless!”
Her words were too harsh.
