I was so annoyed that I couldn't be bothered to continue this meaningless topic with Yaeger.
He frowned and his eyes were filled with impatience. I swung my arm forcefully and turned around to push him away.
I knew very well that I had not used much strength, but he seemed to have been hit by a huge force and staggered back a large step. He almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Only then did I realize that he seemed to have lost a lot of weight and looked listless.
"Are you still not feeling well?" I asked subconsciously. There was a hint of surprise and concern in my tone.
When Yaeger heard this, he immediately shook his head pitifully like a child who had been wronged. He even exaggeratedly covered his chest with one hand, his face filled with resentment. "Ever since I was poisoned, you haven't cared about me at all. After all, we've known each other for so many years."
Seeing how pitiful he was acting, my heart ached. I pursed my lips slightly and asked, "Are you alright?"
Yaeger frowned. "I'm not alright."
I glanced at him from the corner of my eye, my eyes filled with helplessness. I sighed heavily and finally compromised. "What exactly do you want?"
He was the heir of the Duesler family and an only child. Nothing could possibly happen to him.
Moreover, the poison in his body was not serious. He had many people taking care of him. It was not my place to care.
Yaeger seemed to be prepared. He glanced at his watch unhurriedly and retracted the cynical smile on his lips. His expression instantly became serious. He stared straight at me and said coldly, "I just want to remind you not to forget what you promised."
"Do I look like someone who goes back on her word?" I pursed my lips, a look of disdain on my face. "I don't do anything illegal. What do you want me to do?"
I should repay the favor I had owed as soon as possible so that Yaeger would not always find trouble for no reason.
If Alex found out one day that I was with another man behind his back, and the other party was someone he knew, I would not be able to clear my name.
Yaeger pondered for a moment. He frowned and narrowed his eyes as if he was weighing something. After a while, he slowly looked at me. "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I've thought about it."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the elevator without looking back. Just as the elevator door was about to close, he reached out to block the elevator door again and smiled slightly. "Laurel, I believe that you will be touched by me one day."
I stared at him with a fake smile. "Confidence is a good thing, but not blind confidence. Why don't you give me your entire net worth and I'll think about it?"
Yaeger glanced at me and silently closed the elevator door.
The moment I saw the elevator lights flashing, I heaved a long sigh of relief.
Rubbing my stomach which was already rumbling with hunger, I turned around, eager to open the door and enjoy a delicious dinner.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened from the inside and Maliyah walked out of the house.
"Laurel, who was that man just now?" Maliyah's bright eyes revealed a trace of doubt. She tilted her head slightly to the side and stared at me intently.
"A former friend," I replied, feigning casualness. I forced a faint smile on my face, but I felt vaguely uneasy, afraid that she would continue to ask questions.
Maliyah frowned. Her eyes were filled with suspicion and scrutiny. Her tone became a little serious. "He's the person you liked in the past, right?"
I was stunned and the smile on my face froze. I didn't expect Maliyah to still remember Yaeger after so many years.
Indeed, Yaeger's handsome face was unforgettable.
Back then, countless people liked Yaeger. Although I had never been the kind of person who only cared about looks, who wouldn't be tempted by an upright, kind, and gentle boy?
"Laurel, do you still like him?" Maliyah's expression became even more serious at my silence. She stared at me seriously. "Laurel, you're already married. Although Alex's legs are injured now, he's good to you and us."
As she spoke, she gently tugged at the corner of my blouse, her eyes filled with worry.
I hurriedly interrupted Maliyah with a smile on my face. I held her arms tightly and comforted her, "Don't worry, I don't have any improper thoughts about Yaeger. Don't worry."
Trying to sound light-hearted, I tried to reassure her.
"What about him?" Maliyah was still unwilling to drop the topic. She bit her lower lip slightly, and there was a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.
"How could he possibly fancy me?" I smiled and shook my head. There was a self-deprecating smile on my face, but I couldn't help but feel a ripple in my heart.
"But he has come back to look for you before." Maliyah bit her lip and slowly raised her head to look at me. Her eyes were filled with complicated emotions. There was doubt and worry.
"Is that so?" I asked nonchalantly. I still had a faint smile on my face, but my heart was beating a little erratically. After perfunctorily saying a few words to Maliyah, I pulled her into the house to have dinner.
As soon as I entered the dining room, I saw that Dorothy had made a table full of sumptuous dishes. The aroma assaulted my nose.
Maliyah's eyes lit up when she saw the table full of delicacies. She turned to me and asked, "Laurel, do you want to call Alex?"
I shook my head, a wry, resigned smile on my face.
Alex probably had no time for us now. Regina and Bailee should be enough to keep him busy.
Thinking about how he was still in the mood to accompany Regina to the movies when I was in danger, I felt a little upset.
Indeed, those who were not loved were the most miserable.
Just as we were about to start eating, the doorbell suddenly rang urgently.
When I opened the door, I saw a few police officers in plain clothes standing at the door. Among them were a few familiar faces.
"Laurel, please follow us back to the police station. There's a case that requires your cooperation in the investigation." The police officer in the lead had a serious expression. He flashed his credentials expressionlessly and looked at me coldly. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate my body.
"Can I have something to eat? I haven't had a proper meal all day." I looked up and met his gaze. The corners of my mouth curled up slightly in a calm smile as I touched my stomach.
As soon as I finished speaking, Sophina directly shielded me behind her and stared at the plain-clothed police officer in front of her with a serious expression. "No, what right do you have to come here and take Laurel away?"
The police officer replied, "There's a murder case that requires Ms. Parks's cooperation."
He frowned and his eyes were filled with impatience. I swung my arm forcefully and turned around to push him away.
I knew very well that I had not used much strength, but he seemed to have been hit by a huge force and staggered back a large step. He almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
