Chapter 8: Coaxing
“Are you going to take the photo or not? Why are you being so troublesome?” Yvette Quinn was getting impatient because of Xenia Lewis, and in turn glared at her.
“It’s not that I’m being troublesome, it’s just that your behavior… Damn, I don’t think there were any couples acting like you even 30 years ago.”
Xenia Lewis’s words made Yvette Quinn lose her temper. Yes, William Scott was her boyfriend. How could it be so awkward to take a photo with him?
Xenia Lewis must have noticed something.
At this moment, William Scott smiled and said, “Xenia, although your sister and I have known each other for more than a month, we really haven’t taken any photos together. It’s especially unnatural to let someone else do it. You should be more forgiving.”
“What’s so unnatural about taking a photo? The two of you are really old-fashioned. I really don’t know how the two of you got together.” Xenia Lewis curled her lips and looked disdainful.
William Scott placed his hand on Yvette Quinn’s shoulder and gave her a gentle squeeze before hugging her.
Yvette Quinn’s body was still a little stiff, but she still braced herself and leaned against William Scott. She thought to herself, “It’s just a photo. It’s nothing.”
“Smile more! Smile more sweetly! Snap! Snap! Snap!”
Xenia Lewis kept pressing the shutter on her cell phone, locking the two of them together.
Yvette Quinn was definitely a great beauty. Now that she was so close to him, William Scott could smell her faint fragrance. Coupled with the physical contact, she couldn’t help but feel a little awkward.
Xenia Lewis had forced him to hug Yvette Quinn, and everything he had done was to complete his mission. He had to pretend to be her boyfriend, so his initial cautiousness quickly became natural.
Yvette Quinn could sense that William Scott’s actions were a little too casual, but she could not stop him. Not only could she not stop him, she could not even avoid him.
......
In addition, she had to cooperate with him. She even had to put on a happy and sweet smile. To her, this was even worse than torture.
Xenia Lewis finally let the two of them go. Yvette Quinn had just relaxed a little when William Scott let out a long sigh and whispered, “I’m so tired.”
Yvette Quinn turned to look at William Scott. This guy actually looked extremely tired, which made her feel uncomfortable. She looked at William Scott coldly.
William Scott took a step back and said, “What’s with that expression of yours? I wasn’t trying to take advantage of you just now! Do you think we could have fooled her if I hadn’t done that?”
Yvette Quinn snorted. Even though she knew that William Scott was right, she still felt a little uncomfortable. She said in a low voice, “After this, you’d better stay by my parents’ side. You can stay by Xenia’s side too. Try not to stay by my side only, or others will notice.”
“You’re asking me to come on a trip but not hang around my own girlfriend. Do you think that’s a good idea?”
Yvette Quinn said coldly, “Aren’t you out to take my parents around today? Isn’t that enough of an excuse to make them happy?”
“You have a point. Alright, I’ll set up a tent first and see if Uncle caught any fish.”
Yvette Quinn watched as William Scott moved the things in the car. Her lips twitched. She had never had such physical contact with another man in her life. Now, William Scott was taking advantage of her. She felt a little aggrieved.
William Scott hummed a tune and was in a good mood. Pretending to be her boyfriend was a good thing, especially after taking advantage of her. Yvette Quinn’s angry and helpless expression was really interesting.
Larry Zion was fishing with Yoel Quinn, but William Scott did not accompany him. Instead, he went to Yvonne Shaw.
“Auntie, you’ve picked up so many wild vegetables. You’re really amazing. Many people don’t even recognize which wild vegetables are edible now, yet you’ve found the best here.” William Scott started flattering her.
Yvonne Shaw was also excited. She smiled and said, “These wild vegetables are good for the body. I didn’t expect there to be so many of them here. I can’t even pick them all.”
William Scott said, “Then let’s gather more and boil it with hot water before drying it, so we can bring it back. When you want to eat it, you can soak it in water again. Even though the taste isn’t as good, the nutrients will still be preserved.”
“You know how to do it?”
“Yes, we often carry out missions in the wild. Survival in the wild was a compulsory course we had to complete. We’re very familiar with sourcing for food and preserving them.”
“Sure, do you see anything else here?”
Yvonne Shaw’s attention was completely attracted by William Scott. This made Larry Zion jealous and his resentment towards William Scott deepened.
Larry Zion said viciously in his heart, Pretense! You really know how to f*cking pretend! William Scott, I’ll expose you later and see if you can still be cocky!
