She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 634: Don’t Even Think About Leaving Me
Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Don’t Even Think About Leaving Me
After leaving the Parker Family estate, Waylon Lewis and Hope Williams went straight home.
Seeing Waylon trailing closely behind her with an expression full of grievance, Hope couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Turning around, she asked, "What are you doing?"
"Are you mad at me?"
Hope suppressed the smile tugging at her lips. "Do you think I’m like you, Stingy Lewis?"
Waylon reached out and wrapped his arms around Hope.
Hope let out a soft chuckle, tilting her head to look at him. "Why do you think I’m mad?"
Waylon raised a brow. "The way you glared at me back at the Parker Family’s house—wasn’t it saying you’d settle accounts with me when we got home?"
"What’s there to settle accounts for? Because of your face that attracts all kinds of trouble?" Hope smiled and shook her head. "I’m not that petty."
Waylon paused for a moment.
"I need to tell you something."
"Hmm?"
Waylon held her tighter, his expression unusually solemn.
Hope blinked, listening as Waylon explained the incident that led to him firing Elias Patel back in Emperor Capital, going over the cause, process, and results of the whole situation.
Hope’s expression shifted, making Waylon feel a bit uneasy.
"I didn’t lay a finger on her," Waylon said seriously, staring at Hope and immediately explaining.
Hope stroked her chin, pushed Waylon away, and started circling him, her expression serious, as if thinking deeply about something.
"What are you looking at?" frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Looking for signs of a magnet on you—one that attracts women!" Hope clicked her tongue twice and said, "This is putting quite a lot of pressure on me."
"What pressure?"
"What if one day you can’t resist temptation and get lured away by some little vixen?"
Waylon frowned. "Do you really think I’d do that?"
Hope raised an eyebrow and teased, "It’s not completely impossible."
Waylon’s dark, brooding gaze locked onto her. "If I did, what would you do?"
Without hesitation, Hope said, "Leave you."
Waylon’s eyes flickered with displeasure, his voice heavy. "You’d even think about leaving me?"
"If you get snatched away by some beautiful little vixen, I’ll just go find myself a handsome guy instead. Isn’t that fair?"
Looking at the playful glimmer in the woman’s mischievous smile in front of him, Waylon could only raise an exasperated brow. He reached out and flicked her forehead.
"Ouch, that hurt!"
Hope rubbed her forehead, glaring at him angrily.
Waylon brushed her hand aside and examined the spot he’d flicked, noticing it had turned slightly red.
While rubbing her forehead gently, he scolded her, "You’re so full of yourself these days."
Hope hummed in response twice.
"Stop overthinking all the time. I’ve given you everything I have—how could I possibly be seduced by anyone else? Or... are *you* the one thinking about seducing someone else?"
Hope smirked faintly. "Can’t I even joke a little?"
"No. I don’t like those kinds of jokes. I’ve already told you—you’re stuck with me for life."
Hope sighed with a helpless smile. What a stingy guy—he wouldn’t even let her joke. "Got it. I won’t joke like that with you again."
Waylon reached out and ruffled her hair.
Just then, faint rustling noises could be heard coming from upstairs.
Waylon and Hope furrowed their brows suspiciously, stepped back, and looked up toward the second floor.
There, Wyatt Lewis was crouched by the upper railing with Luke and Willow, covering their mouths as they giggled.
Waylon’s expression darkened. "What are you hiding for? Come out."
Wyatt jolted in surprise. He straightened up, glanced down, and met his elder brother’s warning glare.
"Uh-oh, Dad found us." Willow quickly covered her mouth while she and Luke giggled secretly.
"Wyatt Lewis!" Waylon gritted his teeth.
"Bro, I swear I wasn’t intentionally eavesdropping on you and sis-in-law’s lovey-dovey talk! I promise I didn’t hear a thing."
Wyatt made a motion like he was swearing, then immediately scooped up the two kids into his arms.
"Don’t let us interrupt. Please, carry on, carry on."
As he ran off with Luke and Willow in tow, Wyatt mockingly mimicked, swaying his head, "You’re stuck with me for life~"
"Pfft..."
Hope, leaning against Waylon’s chest, couldn’t help but burst into giggles. In the next moment, though, she could feel Waylon’s muscles tense.
Now she completely understood why Wyatt was always getting lectured.
Well! How to put it...
He really did have it coming!
...
After lunch, Waylon had to return to Emperor Capital. Hope personally drove him to the airport. After watching him leave, she was just about to ask Xiao Shi to drive her home when she received a call from Elias Patel.
Recalling the story Waylon had told her earlier, Hope’s face darkened slightly but she still answered the call.
"Madam," Elias’s urgent voice came through, "I’m at the café next to the Williams Group building. Can I see you for a moment?"
"You’re in City A?"
"Yes. Can I meet with you?"
Hope let out a light sigh. "Elias Patel, I already know about your dismissal. There’s no need to say more."
Just as Hope was about to hang up, Elias’s voice quickly called out again, "Madam, did you hear about the Lewis Family’s private airplane crash a few days ago?"
The Lewis Family’s private airplane crash?
Hope’s heart suddenly skipped a beat violently.
