Chapter 96 Deliberate Showing Off
“Levi, you are so kind to me.” Holding the bowl of egg noodles happily, Amelia tilted her face and spoke in a delicate manner.
Levi smiled and sat down at the side, “Eat.”
It was only when Amelia started eating the noodles.
Levi’s cooking skills are average, not really delicious, but at least edible.
However, as if she was eating some kind of delicacy, Amelia ate up the big bowl of noodles, and burped with satisfaction.
“Levi, I feel really happy.” Amelia put her empty bowl down before she looked up at Levi, her face full of shyness.
Levi took the bowl over and got up to walk to the kitchen to clean it while replying, “If you hadn’t saved me five years ago, I would have been dead long ago.”
The smile on Amelia’s face stiffened as she looked at Levi’s back, her gaze rising with resentment.
She clenched her fists for a long time before she could hold back the pent-up anger in her heart.
Five years.
She had been by Levi’s side for five years, yet she was still no match for Ruby’s one night five years ago!This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Did she just sleep with him once? What was the big deal? Why should she spend five years and not be able to replace Ruby?
The more she thought about it, the more indignant she felt in her heart, barely able to control her twisted expression.
Levi cleaned the dishes and put them aside, and when he turned around and came back, Amelia’s expression had returned to natural.
“Levi, even if I had to do it again, I would have helped you all the same. At that time in a foreign country, we were from the same country, how could I not save you?” Amelia’s expression was warm and gentle as she looked at Levi with an imploring gaze.
Levi gave a nod and didn’t say much.
“Levi, can you stay here with me for a little longer and not be in such a hurry to leave?” Amelia looked at him expectantly.
Levi thought for a moment before nodding his head in agreement.
He was always distracted and wandered off several times, and only when she was tired and fell asleep did he breathe a sigh of relief and leave the hospital as if relieved.
At the Starry Night Club, Levi held the cocktail in his hand and shook it gently.
“What brings you to my place?” A young man walked in through the door, his hair looking extraordinarily striking with its colourful dye and the diamond studs he wore above his earlobes emanating a blinding brilliance in the light.
He sat down directly beside Levi and raised eyebrows at him.
Levi took a sip of wine and twisted his head to look at the man sitting beside him, his gaze paused on the colorful hair on his head and he couldn’t help but frown in disgust: “Why did you make it fancy? Your grandfather doesn’t scold you?”
“He only asked me to marry and have children, I have married and my wife is pregnant, what more does he want from me?” The man bristled disdainfully, “You haven’t answered me yet, so why are you drinking here? That’s not like you.”
“Amelia is paralyzed and has just had her legs amputated.” Levi took another sip of wine before speaking.
“The woman who saved you and had sex with you five years ago?” Declan Bell raised his eyebrows and immediately understood, “Do you have to be responsible for someone for life just for one night? I don’t think that woman is good either.”
“My mother told me before she died that a man should be responsible. Since I had sex with her, I naturally have to be responsible for her.” Levi was expressionless, just calmly restating this fact.
Declan couldn’t understand it even more, “If that’s the case, what’s bothering you now! You don’t even like her, do you?”
Levi didn’t answer, just drank in silence.
By reacting like this, he was actually answering Declan’s question in a silent manner.
“You don’t like her, but you have to be responsible for her. Now that she’s paralyzed, doesn’t that make her want to rely on you even more?” Declan tugged at the corner of his mouth, thinking that it was really stupid of Levi to do so.
“Amelia is not such a person.” Levi subconsciously defended Amelia.
“Levi, if you really like this woman and want to live with her for the rest of your life, you will accept her whether she is good or bad. There will not be any hesitation. But now you are hesitant, it means that she is not as important in your heart as you think. It’s just a one-night stand, just compensate some money and be done with it, why should you spend with her for your whole life?” Declan reached out his hand and patted Levi on his shoulder.
He and Levi have been friends for many years, and they grew up together. They are both in the kind of big family, and the Finn family was ruthless than the Bell family.
Levi didn’t say anything, not knowing why, but at this time he actually thought of Ruby.
He felt a little ridiculous himself.
Ruby and him are just a cooperative relationship, they have long had an agreement with each other to divorce after one year of marriage, not to interfere with each other, he would now actually be swayed by Ruby.
“Maybe.” Levi leaned back before spitting out the words faintly.
Seeing that he hadn’t convinced Levi, Declan didn’t say any more.
The two of them had been drinking for a while when there was a sudden commotion outside. Declan frowned and greeted Levi, “I’ll go out and see what’s going on.”
Levi responded carelessly.
Declan got up and went out, opening the door, and the sounds from outside came in more clearly.
“What! Do you think you are pure? I’m telling you, it’s your good fortune that I like you, don’t be shameless, hurry up and go with me, let me have a good time, and you will have your benefits, but if you make me unhappy, I’ll kill you!” A rough and savage voice, with a very thick drunkenness, came in.
“Is that so?” The clear and fresh voice rang out faintly, but inexplicably with some authority.
Sitting inside, Levi was shaken, and then felt that he had probably had too much to drink.
How could Ruby come here?
But soon, that familiar voice sounded again, “I’d like to see how you can get me killed.”
“Shit! You little bitch, I … ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts …” the man cursed and was about to strike.
Only just as his hand reached out, he only felt pain in his body and knelt down directly in front of Ruby.
Ruby moved her body forward and looked at the fat man kneeling in front of her, “Why do you make such a big salute? Even if you know you’re wrong, you don’t have to be like this.”
The people around couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
The man only felt that he was ashamed, gritting his teeth and getting up to reach for Ruby, but unfortunately, before he could grab her, three silver needles pierced the back of his hand, immediately causing him to scream out like a pig being killed.
Levi left the box at this moment and stood at the door, looking at the figure standing in the corridor, with clear features and coldness all over.
It was really Ruby.
