Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: So the Person Youâve Always Liked Is Enna Clark? Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: So the Person Youâve Always Liked Is Enna Clark? Just then, the waiter came over with a freshly brewed Blue Mountain coffee, steaming as it was carefully carried. He said, âExcuse me for interrupting, your coffee is ready.â
Emilia Goldsmithâs attention was solely fixed on the fact that Lyle Westbrook hadnât answered her question. She hadnât noticed the waiter beside her and, in her agitated state, she demanded, âSo, the person you like is Enna Clark? The person you said you liked when you rejected me at the hospital was also her?!â
Hospital, rejection?
The waiterâs ears perked up at the gossip, and his hand shook accidentally, spilling the scalding coffee, which poured onto his hand, making him gasp in pain. He uttered an âAhâ as he reflexively tossed the coffee cup away.
Crash!
The coffee cup shattered upon impact, with the boiling coffee splattering everywhere.
âIâm sorry, Iâm so sorry!â Realizing her mistake, the waitressâs face turned pale as she continuously apologized to Emilia Goldsmith.
âSorry, it was my mistake, Iâll clean this up right away and brew another cup for you,â the waitress said, bowing as if she were pecking at grains of rice.
As she fumbled, unsure of what to do, she suddenly heard a detached voice from across, âWash your hands first.â
The waitress looked up.
In front of her was a glass of untouched lemon water being pushed towards her. She was stunned for a moment before her eyes met the manâs peach blossom eyes.
Her cheeks flushed red as she stammered, âTh-thank you.â
Emilia Goldsmith, seeing the waitressâs expression, knew she had read too much into the attention and felt a wave of helplessness.
Had she not fallen into the same trap in the past? She had mistaken this manâs cultured concern as a special sign of interest, only to find herself falling deeper before realizing that his act of care that had once moved her heart was just a subconscious, emotionless reaction born from his upbringing.
âClean this up and brew me another coffee,â Emilia Goldsmith paused, then added, âI donât want Blue Mountain anymore, make it a cappuccino with sugar.â
Coming back to her senses, the waitress quickly replied, âRight away, Iâll go make it now.â
She walked away quickly with flushed cheeks, carrying the glass of lemon water.
Soon enough, a male waiter came and cleaned up the spilled coffee, pouring a fresh lemon water for the indifferent man.
The indifferent man didnât touch the water glass but instead turned to Emilia Goldsmith, âI canât answer that question.â
âWhy canât you answer? Donât you know whether you like her or not? Or do you think if I knew you liked her, Iâd do her harm?â Emilia Goldsmith clenched her lower lip and said bluntly, âI might develop hard feelings towards her because you like her, but I, Emilia Goldsmith, am not so low as to scheme against someone you care about behind their back.â
âBut didnât you know sheâs about to get married? Baron Lawrence has already announced the engagement, itâs just that the wedding was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.â
Peach blossom eyes remaining calm, the man being questioned replied, âI know.â
âIf you know, then why would youâŠâ Emilia Goldsmith stopped abruptly. She couldnât bring herself to finish the sentence; saying the rest would sound too much like jealousy. She had already lost so thoroughly before him and didnât want to lose the last bit of her self-respect!
