Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 827: A Straightforward Personality

Heath noticed Vanessa hesitating, like she had some reservations, and said, "Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person. You’re good friends with Audrey Sutton, right? She’s my cousin-in-law. Her friends are my friends too, so let’s add each other as friends for easier contact." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Vanessa still politely refused, saying, "I don’t really use social media tools often, so..."

Heath interrupted Vanessa’s excuse, saying, "Not using it much still means you use it sometimes. At least let me have a way to contact you. I like you, but I’m not forcing you to agree. I’m not the type to pressure someone. It’s not like adding me as a friend would mean I’d constantly bother you or force you to be my girlfriend. I wouldn’t do that."

Vanessa was least skilled at dealing with overly familiar people. She felt the other party was too enthusiastic, and she had no idea how to respond.

Yet Heath kept talking, continuously giving Vanessa psychological reassurance: "We’ve only just met and haven’t seen each other many times. Asking you to be my girlfriend now would definitely be too rushed, so let’s be friends. If fate brings us together, that’s great, but if not, being friends is still okay. You really don’t need such a big mental burden. Even if you reject me, I won’t blame you. Just follow your heart."

Saying that, Heath pushed the QR code towards Vanessa again: "Come on, scan me."

Having heard all Heath’s talk, Vanessa felt that if she still didn’t agree, she’d seem a bit too unfriendly.

Besides, now that Miles wouldn’t interfere in her affairs anymore, it wouldn’t matter much if she had male contacts.

She should learn to take this step, gradually distancing herself from the influence Miles had on her in the past.

Thinking this, Vanessa lowered her head, took out her phone from her bag, scanned Heath’s QR code, and added him as a friend.

Heath smiled contentedly, immediately opened Vanessa’s profile and avatar, and after taking a look, praised, "I heard you draw comics; this avatar is self-drawn, right? It’s really cute."

Vanessa awkwardly smiled, not knowing how to respond, as Heath continued, "Can you draw one for me too?"

Vanessa pressed her lips, saying, "...I didn’t bring my computer with me."

Heath: "No worries, no hurry. You can draw it when you get home and have time. Just look at me now and draw me so others can recognize it’s me."

Vanessa: "...How about you send me a photo? I’ll find it easier to draw based on the picture."

Heath: "Huh? I’m not much into taking photos. I’m not sure if I look good. Why don’t you take a few photos of me now?"

At first, Vanessa refused, but in the end, Heath managed to persuade her with his words.

Audrey Sutton came over with Anna after finishing her meal and saw Vanessa photographing Heath with her phone.

She almost thought she was seeing things, puzzled about how these two got to this stage?

Vanessa is introverted and doesn’t interact much with unfamiliar people, especially men.

And Heath’s laid-back personality should definitely irk Vanessa. So why did they seem to be getting along quite well now?

Could Heath have used some flowery language to deceive Vanessa?

Thinking about how Vanessa is somewhat naive, easily fooled by bad boys, Audrey Sutton went over to disrupt the atmosphere and asked Heath, "What are you up to here?"

Heath looked up, saw Audrey Sutton, and immediately chuckled, always sweet-talking: "Auntie, it’s you! Long time no see, you’ve gotten prettier."

Audrey Sutton put Anna down on a mat to play with toys and glared at Heath: "Cut the nonsense, what crooked idea are you scheming now?"

Heath: "Auntie, what are you saying? I’m just asking Vanessa to draw an avatar for me."

After hearing this, Audrey Sutton turned to the somewhat embarrassed Vanessa, as if questioning whether Heath’s words were true. Vanessa put away her phone and explained: "Uh... just drawing him an avatar."

Then Audrey Sutton looked at Heath, saying: "Vanessa’s drawing fee isn’t cheap. Make sure you pay her."

Before Heath could answer, Vanessa said: "No need, no need... it’s not a big deal."

Heath grinned, saying: "Talking about money hurts relationships. I’ll treat Vanessa to a meal someday."

Audrey Sutton glared at him: "You wish! Your cousin asked for you. He has arranged a place for you to stay."

Having gotten contact details, Heath happily got up and ran to find Shane Warner.

After Heath left, Audrey Sutton reminded Vanessa: "He’s unreliable; don’t fully trust what he says."

Vanessa seemed to understand, nodding and saying: "He said he’s a relative of yours."

Audrey Sutton: "He’s my husband’s cousin, very mischievous, always causing trouble outside."

Saying this, Audrey Sutton pointed her chin towards Faye Xavier and Luc, who were playing drinking games and mingling with the women, and told Vanessa: "They’re the same as him. They got caught in a honey trap once, and my husband had to bail them out from the police station, so keep an eye out for what he says."

Vanessa nodded in response: "Okay."

She herself wasn’t inclined to easily trust or rely on anyone, but she envied Heath’s somewhat childish and straightforward nature.

She didn’t really like herself as she is now but didn’t know how to change.

She was always trying to blend into her surroundings but always seemed awkward in front of others.

Let alone striking up conversations openly, she needed some time to process what to say when strangers spoke to her.

She always worried about saying something wrong, so she mostly chose to listen, rarely joining in discussions unless the topic involved her.

After dinner, Barry Barrett suddenly mentioned that Simon Sue was having a concert nearby and would drop by for some fun. So, a few more tents were set up.

Everyone started teasing Barry Barrett and Simon Sue, while Barry blushed and kept denying.

The main city where the concert was held was still some distance away, about three to four hours by car.

Audrey Sutton was required by Shane Warner to sleep by ten every night. By nine, she was called back to the motorhome to wash and prepare for bed.

Laura Yates, Phoebe King, and Flora Lane all returned to their motorhomes before ten because they had their children.

Scott Sutton adhered to his "senior routine," always going back to the motorhome for a wash after resting for a while post-dinner around seven.

Although Audrey Sutton couldn’t figure out why her fourth brother went back to his room so early when he didn’t sleep that early.

Barry Barrett was yawning away while snacking on seeds by the table, waiting for Simon Sue.

Lana Holloway was accompanying Barry Barrett, chatting away to pass the time.

Meanwhile, Faye Xavier and a group of people gathered to play cards, and Seraphina Vaughn, the avid gambler, naturally joined them. These days, Norman Sutton, who was having a spat with Lana Holloway, also joined in the fun.
