Chapter 467


    Chapter 467 Margot, the Best Support


    In the end, ke couldn''t help but retort, saying, "Lisa lost her parents.You don''t even know this, and


    here you are, rubbing salt into her wound."


    When Margot heard that, a pained expression flitted across her face.


    "Lisa, I''m so sorry.I should''ve tried to learn more about you.ke never told me about this before.I


    shouldn''t have disregarded your feelings when I was talking just now."


    She truly didn''t expect Lisa to be an orphan.


    Looking at Lisa, Margot was both heartbroken and upset.


    "Lisa, if you''re willing, just rx and marry into our family.If ke mistreats you, I''ll break his legs."


    In the blink of an eye, she was on the youngdy''s side.


    ke thought his words could evoke a sense of regret in Margot, but he didn''t expect her to be so


    loving toward Lisa.


    Did she say shed break my legs? Geez!But things should be fine this way.


    Lisa, who had never experienced the warmth of a family, would probably be very touched by Margot''s


    love and care.


    She might feel even happier this way.


    When ke thought of his future darling wife living in happiness, he felt that getting his legs broken


    would be a small price to pay.


    "Thank you, Mrs.Winthrop..."


    Lisa''s hand froze as it held the fork.


    The touching words had caused a ripple to spread across her heart.


    "Look at how thin you are! Come, eat more."


    Margot hastily ced more meat onto Lisa''s te.


    "Thank you, Mrs.Winthrop, but it’s okay.You''ve already given me so much food that I might not be able


    to finish everything."


    As Lisa watched Margot bustling about, her heart softened even more.She then looked at ke, who


    wore a brilliant smile on his face.She suddenly felt that getting married to him wasn''t too bad after all.


    Margot noticed Lisa''s touched expression, then gave ke a hinting look.He immediately understood


    as he suddenly reached out and took Lisa''s hand.


    Before she could react, he said earnestly, "Lisa, please be my girlfriend"


    Lisa was stunned.


    ke had thought of confessing before, but she kept thinking that the timing wasn''t right or that she


    hadn''t prepared herself yet, so she never said yes.


    Now, under these circumstances, she felt that if she disagreed, things might turn awkward for him.


    She then thought about how Margot had treated her just now.


    Lisa nodded right away as a faint blush tinted her cheeks.


    "Okay."


    Just as expected, ke really needed Margot''s help to convince Lisa.He was so happy that he was


    smiling like a fool.


    If they weren''t dining, he would''ve picked Lisa up and twirled in circles with her.


    "You finally agreed to be my girlfriend! Don''t worry.I''ll love you wholeheartedly from today onward."


    He had been sticking to her for months, but he never gave up, and he had stubbornly persisted in


    following her.


    Her heart wasn''t made of stone, after all, so it had begun softening a long time ago.


    However, she hadn''t experienced much love since she was young, so she never dared to believe in


    love from anyone.


    After all this time, she also felt that ke might be the person she could spend her life with.


    Lisa snorted.


    "Don''t just talk the talk.Remember to walk the talk too"


    "But of course.I''ll definitely do it better than anyone"


    Callum, who had been smilingly watching the intimate interactions between the two, felt a sudden wave


    of difort.


    Why did he feel like he was beingpared? "What do you mean by that?"


    Realizing that Callum was taking it personally, ke shrunk back a little.


    After all, he had always greatly respected Callum, so he naturally wasn''t in a position to tease Callum


    at the moment.


    "Callum, you''re overthinking.I didn’t mean it like that."


    Callum smiled faintly.


    "Good."


    In reality, ke’s words had identally offended someone other than Callum.It was Max, who was


    keeping quiet at the side as he focused on eating.


    His presence was so easily overlooked that when everyone was having fun, theypletely forgot


    about him.


    Out of nowhere, almost everyone simultaneously looked over at him.


    Max was in a daze, and when he suddenly [elt everyone''s eyes on him, he looked up with a bewildered


    expression.


    "Why are you looking at me like that?"


    It’s just a meal, so where did all thise from? "Nothing, you just look like you''re enjoying the food,"


    ke spoke up first and teased him.


    "Yes, how can Ipare to you? You just got yourself a beautiful girlfriend,"


    Max retorted without any hesitation.


    "I know, you must still be thinking about Yelena.However, since she had already decided to break up


    with you, let''s not think about her anymore.There''s plenty of fish in the sea, so why are you so hung up


    on her? Am I right?"


    Everything was fine before, but at the mention of her name, Max instantly exploded.


    Thud!

    "Can you not mention her name in front of me?"


    He mmed his fork on the table.His expression was grave, a clear sign that this incident deeply


    affected him.


    ke realized that he had been a little clumsy with his constion, so he hastilyforted Max.


    "Hey, sorry.I didn''t know that you''d react so strongly to this incident.I won''t mention it ever again."


    "Fine.Let''s not talk about it anymore"


    With that, he stood up straight away and went to the backyard.


    Elspeth and Callum exchanged nces, then furrowed their brows.


    "Shall I check on him?’ Elspeth suggested.Among them, she was the person closest to Yelena, so her


    words would also carry the most weight.Therefore, it might be more effective if she were the one who


    went tofort Max.


    With that in mind, Callum nodded in agreement with her idea.


    Elspeth put on a coat and grabbed a scarf, then walked out after Max.He was already in a bad mood,


    so as he crouched by theke and gazed at the deste scenery, he felt even worse inside.


    "Why did she suddenly stop loving me..."


    He was muttering to himself when someone suddenly patted his shoulder, after which he whipped his


    head around to see Elspeth standing behind him, smiling.


    "Miss Elspeth—no, Elspeth.Were you looking for me?"


    Even though he wasn''t in the mood for a chat, Elspeth was his sister-inw and Yelena’s bestie, so he


    found it difficult not to talk to her.


    "I''m just checking on you.How are you feeling?"


    "How else can I be feeling?"


    Max forced a smile as he picked up a stone lying next to him, then threw it with all his might.


    The stone skipped on the surface of the water, generating countless ripples as it went, then finally sank


    into the water with a plop.


    "Don''t just wade in sorrow.Come, tell me.Is it because you still can''t forget about Yelena?"


    The two had been together for so long, after all.It wouldn''t be easy to forget a lover.


    Elspeth knew that he wasn''t feeling too good, so she tried tofort him in another way.


    "Yes, I still don''t get it.If two people were so much in love before, why can one of them just stop loving


    the other suddenly?"
