"In that case, you might as well go along with his wishes and say it. He certainly won’t refuse you, it’s only three months, and William Guillen isn’t bound for a lifetime."

Autumn Johnson still had her concerns, she shook her head, her voice tinged with a mild plea, "Fennie, let’s not talk about this anymore..."

She wouldn’t agree to it.

Saving William Guillen was entirely an instinctive act, without any thought of seeking a reward.

Even if William Guillen wanted to repay her, she didn’t hope for it to be in this manner.

Sophie Sullivan: "..."

Really stubborn like a mule, won’t budge! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Suit yourself, I’ve said all I can. If you still don’t agree, there’s nothing more I can do."

She had already said what needed to be said; the choice and action were up to her.

People are inherently selfish; there are great, selfless individuals in the world but who can deny that selfish people tend to live better?

Because they are selfish, they focus on themselves, therefore pleasing themselves.

In Sophie Sullivan’s view, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Moreover, with William Guillen intending to repay her, Autumn Johnson wasn’t really forcing him; it’s just two people willing to play their parts.

At worst, after three months they can part amicably, with no debts between them.

From then on, male and female marriage would be separate and unrelated.

The first thing William Guillen did after returning from the company was to come to the medical office. Just as he pushed the door open, Autumn Johnson and Sophie Sullivan, who were talking, stopped simultaneously.

He smiled apologetically, "What, did I interrupt you?"

Sophie Sullivan just smiled without speaking and turned to Autumn Johnson, "Someone is here to take care of you, I’ll get going."

She was exhausted and needed to go back early to rest up and regain her energy.

Sophie Sullivan brushed past him, and William Guillen’s gaze fell on her face, sighing inwardly, Thomas Shannon indeed had good taste.

From the medical office until he entered, he heard the little nurses discussing Sophie Sullivan’s appearance, and the envy in their tone was unmistakable, with eyes bewitched as if enchanted by her.

Despite being mentally prepared, seeing Sophie Sullivan still startled him.

No wonder she’s the Number One Beauty in Country F, deserving of that title.

Seeing William Guillen, Autumn Johnson completely lost the ease she had just now with Sophie Sullivan.

The smile on her face was also considerably restrained and subdued.

Since she was wounded and after waking up, William Guillen had been taking care of her, and she noticed his guilt inside. She had clearly told him that she didn’t need his gratitude, nor his repayment.

But William Guillen wouldn’t listen to her words, insisting on staying to take care of her. This wasn’t the Zane Family territory, it’s Thomas Shannon’s territory, and she couldn’t simply chase him away.

She could only let him come daily, at the regular times, serving her water and rice.

"Fluffy, what do you want to eat tonight, I’ll have the kitchen make it for you."

Having just returned from the company, William Guillen was still in his suit and leather shoes, with the tie loosely hanging at his neck, pulled by him.

He came to sit at the bedside, with the bedside table still holding the fruit plate she and Sophie Sullivan had left.

Autumn Johnson moved slightly, about to lie down to sleep, but William Guillen swiftly grasped her wrist and stopped her, "Fluffy, do you have resentment towards me?"

Ever since her injury and awakening, she seemed to have changed completely.

Seeing him, she was no different from a stranger, let alone a friend.

Distant, indifferent, treating him as she would a stranger, perfunctory and dismissive.
