Obsession With Mr. Right

Chapter 212 

When William returned to their room with the milk in his hand, Valeria was still fast asleep.Chuckling lovingly, William gently shook Valeria to wake her up.

"Babe, drink some milk before you continue sleeping."

"Stop disturbing me...I'm sleeping!"

Valeria waved her hand around in irritation.

Seeing how childlike Valeria was, William couldn't help but laugh.He compromised and putting the milk on the bedside table before he reached out to take Valeria into his arms.

However, since she was only half-awake, Valeria thought William was hinting at another round of intimacy.So, she mumbled, "William, I don't want to do it anymore.I'll break into half if you don't stop."

William only brought the glass to her lips and assured, "I'm not doing anything.Just drink up the milk" This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

To which she reluctantly opened her mouth with closed eyes.

Then, he watched her in silence as she bottomed the glass of milk before going back to sleep again.

Rendered speechless at how weak Valeria was, William decided that he would make her exercise to build stamina.

Then, in fear of disturbing Valeria, William didn't linger in the room any longer and left the room quietly with the empty glass after tucking her in.

Meanwhile, in the dining room, Paisley, Danya, Lucas, and Bobby were seated for breakfast.

Since they were in a foreign country, and William wasn't keen on following the orthodox rules, the household employees didn't have to dine at a separate table.

Absent- mindedly, Paisley sipped on a glass of milk that Danya had poured for her.

She was truly disheartened to see William pampering Valeria to such an extent.

If she were alone, she would have pulled a long face earlier on.

Danya, who had looked after her since she was a child, noticed Paisley's displeasure at a glance.

Gauging that Paisley was about to lose her cool, Danya got up to serve her a bowl of porridge to distract her, "Miss, you should try this almond maple porridge.It's delicious."

"Alright, I'll have a try,"

Paisley snapped back to the present as she realized that she should straighten herself up.

With a forced smile, she took the porridge from Danya and put a spoonful into her mouth , “Yes, it does taste good."

Lucas chimed in, "Ms.Anthony, please feel free to let them know if you prefer anything else.The chef can cook for you."

"Sure, Uncle Lucas.Thank you," Paisley smiled.

And Lucas gladly replied, "My pleasure.You're welcome to make yourself at home."

During their exchanges, William returned to the dining table with the empty glass.

One of the maids came forth and placed a glass of milk and sandwiches in front of William.

He took a sip of milk and instructed the servant, "Valeria needs rest, so be careful not to disturb her"

"Yes, Sir William,"she answered immediately.

After a moment of consideration, William added, "Oh, by the way, Valeria likes spicy food.But she's not feeling well recently.So, maybe you can make something mild and savory for lunch, and also chicken broth to help her feel better.As for the rest of the menu, it's your choice."

"Of course, sir."

Although the maids had been living abroad, their etiquettes were still like how they were back in their hometown.

While William was giving orders to the maid, Paisley listened with her head lowered as she ate her porridge.

She began to feel restless at the affection William showed towards Valeria.She had always thought that Valeria was just another woman to William.She was sure that he would break up with Valeria once the excitement of something new gets old, just like how he treated the other women in the past.

However, Paisley had a bad feeling after she had seen how William acted around Valeria.

Then, she realized something appalling.

William might have really fallen in love with Valeria.

It would be the greatest thing in the world to be loved by someone as remarkable as William.

Paisley was green with envy and she was even more determined to fight for William's attention.

She couldn't wait the day William would treat her like how he treated Valeria.

Paisley decided to move fast to kick Valeria out of the picture so that she could replace Valeria's position by William's side as soon as possible.

After all, in Paisley's eyes, Valeria only had the looks and she was no competition for her.

After breakfast, William went to work and he was bringing only Bobby with him.

Lucas was left behind to accompany Paisley and Danya to make their new passports and shop for new clothes.

However, even though Paisley and Danya didn't have to reissue their passports because they didn't lose them in the first place, they had an act to keep up.

Therefore, Lucas still left the house with Paisley and Danya in a car after William and Bobby left.

Since they were alone, Lucas dropped the act.

"Ms.Anthony, I'm sorry that you had to witness this.I didn't know Miss Brown would come along with Sir William until I saw them on the plane, and I didn't have time to call you after seeing that."

Danya was displeased to hear that, and she retorted, "What do you mean that you haven't had the time to call, Lucas? You should have tried your best to notify Ms.Anthony in advance once you knew Sir William invited that shady woman.That could have saved Ms.Anthony from the embarrassment."

Lucas took a glance at Danya.

Although he was still smiling, his tone was icy cold when he spoke, "I apologize for not calling sooner.But what are you going to do next, Ms.Anthony?"

"That'll have to depend on you.What can Miss Paisley do when there ‘s another woman in the house? At the very least, you should have dealt with that woman before asking for our plan!"

Danya interjected .She couldn't bear to see Paisley being wronged like this.

"I'm talking to Ms.Anthony, Danya.Not you.Who are you to speak for your employer just as you wish?"

Lucas replied in annoyance.

He had been working for the Howard family as their butler for decades and he was trusted by Hayden.

Due to the responsibility and power that Lucas held, no one had dared to go against him for years.

Noticing Lucas's displeasure, Paisley apologized in an instant, "Lucas, please forgive Danya.She didn't mean it.Please don't have to take this to heart."

"I won't.But you'll have to make a decision now, Ms.Anthony.Do you still want to move forward with our plan? If you don't, you'll have to tolerate it for another day or two until we find an excuse for you to move out from the villa.Otherwise, I'm afraid that you'll have to come up with something as soon as possible."

Paisley was stunned as she processed what Lucas had just said.She didn't think Lucas would put it so blatantly.

As far as she knew, Lucas wasn't someone so direct.She was sure that the sudden change in his attitude was because of Danya's words from earlier.

Paisley glimpsed at Danya and blamed her for her reckless behavior, but it wasn't the time for her to point fingers at Danya.

She had to properly articulate her answer because she knew it would eventually reach Hayden's ears.She wouldn't give up on William.

So, naturally, she needed to discuss the following steps with Lucas.

"Of course we're going to carry on with the plan.That's why I'm here, Lucas.What do you think we can do next?"

"Sir William is tied down with work at the company, so Miss Brown wouldn't be a problem during the day.I'm thinking that maybe you can bond with Sir using this opportunity.What do you think, Ms.Anthony?"

"It's brilliant.What do I need to do?"

"Can you speak Italian?"he asked.

To which Danya interjected with pride, "Ms.Anthony is fluent in four languages."

"Great! Then I'll put Sir William in charge of a collaboration case with an Italian company.Since he doesn't speak Italian, Ms.Anthony could stand in as the interpreter.And you can assist him from the side if he runs into any problem, which he would.He doesn't know much about managing a company.He'll see you in a different light for sure."

"No problem! I appreciate your help, Lucas," Paisley was overjoyed.

It would be impossible for William to not see the good in her if they were hanging out all day long for work.
