Chapter 881 Because You’re Unworthy of It
It might have been her illusion, but Queeny had a persistent feeling that E was behaving somewhat
differently than she usually did.
Queeny felt that E seemed very preupied today.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
What on earth had happened?
With all these people around them, however, Queeny could do nothing but indulge E’s reticence.
It was already noontime when they had finished the purchase.
Queeny suggested that they have lunch at a nearby restaurant.
Finally, they chose an expensive restaurant with gourmet food. On entering it, E went to the
washroom.
Queeny paid no attention to it. She asked for an exclusive room for E and herself, and arranged for
Dean and the others to dine at the adjacent room. Then she took a seat and began to take the order.
The food at this restaurant was mostly light in vor. Queeny chose some dishes she liked, some that
she thought would be to E’s taste, and then added a pot of tea before she finished.
Meanwhile, E was making a phone call at the washroom.
Grabbing the phone tightly, she hissed between her teeth, “Have you decided not to help me?”
On the other end of the line was a man’s low voice, smoldering with anger.
“I wish I could help you, Karida, but our rtionship must be kept secret. If I lent a helping hand,
everyone would know that you’re my daughter, and the subsequent n would be ruined. You should
put the interests of the whole above everything else.”
“I don’t care about the interests of the whole! I only know that my mother-inw is in danger and she
will die if I don’t help her!”
“Karida, as long as you take no action and keep them in limbo, they won’t dare to hurt your mother-in-
panicky at this crucial moment.”
“I don’t care. I’ll ask you onest time. Will you help her or not?”
There was a moment’s silence.
A sigh followed.
“Karida, it’s not that I don’t want to help her, but I am hindered…”
E burst into a sarcasticugh.
“Hindered? Well then, since you’re so much hindered, Mr. Zardi, I will bother you no more. From
this day on, don’t ask me to do anything for you! Because you’re unworthy of it!”
With these words, E hung up on him.
On the other side.
Stephan stared at the phone with a deep frown.
Be stepped out of the trying room in a suit of the Chanel style and asked, “How does it look? Does it
look good on me?”
Stephen didn’t reply.
Be cast a nce at Stephan, who was sitting there with a sullen face and knitted brows, enveloped in
an air of gloom.
She paused, lowered her eyes and smiled, “Stephan, what’s the matter?”
Stephan snapped out of his trance.
Looking up at her, he saw the situation and nodded, “Yeah, it looks nice.”
It was obviously perfunctory.
Be felt somewhat annoyed.
But she didn’t dare to vent her displeasure, just saying, “I’ll take it then?”
“Yeah, take it.”
Stephan took out his credit card for the salesgirl to swipe.
After the purchase, Stephan left the shop with Be.
In the meantime, E went out of the washroom.
It was a hotpot restaurant. Queeny was pouring the freshly-arrived food into the pot when E came in.
Seeing E, Queeny smiled and said, “Sit down and have a taste.”
E took the opposite seat.
Queeny scarcely needed to look at E to detect that she looked worse than before. Her brows and
eyes were brimming with mncholy too apparent to conceal.
Not betraying any emotion, Queeny said, “E, if youe across any trouble that I can help to solve,
just let me know.”
E looked up at her.
She forced a smile and shook her head, “You can’t help me.”
How could Queeny help her?
Queeny’s brows furrowed.
She had no idea what had happened to E, but E’s disturbed look filled her with pity.
Queeny sighed.
“Well, if you don’t want to talk about it, let’s leave it aside and have lunch.”
Queeny put a piece of cooked meat into E’s te.
E just stared at the meat without moving.
Her eyes and her mind were taken over by a mixture of feelings.
Seeing E so fixed, Queeny urged, “Come on, eat it.”
E blurted, “Queeny, I want to drink. Can I have some wine?”
Queeny was surprised to hear that.
Only then did she discern that E’s eyes began to redden.
Not knowing what had happened or how she couldfort E, Queeny could only acquiesce.
“Well, you can, by all means.”
Queeny rang the bell. Soon a waiter came in.
Queeny asked E, “What kind of wine do you prefer?”
E replied, “Just any wine.”
Queeny ordered a bottle of red wine not so strong for E.
After the waiter went out, Queeny looked at E worriedly and asked, “What on earth is the matter?”
E said, “Nothing. I’m just in a bad mood.”
She bit her lips and cast a nce at Queeny.
“Sorry about that, Queeny. I know I am not behaving myself. I shouldn’t bother you with my emotions.
I’m really sorry.”
Queeny’s brows knitted.
She was at a loss how to console E. After all, she had no idea what was wrong with her.
She could do nothing but give a sigh.
“Let’s have lunch first.”
The wine was soon prepared andid ready for them.
E poured a ss of wine for herself and then some for Queeny.
Not having fully recovered from her injury, Queeny could not drink too much. She only took some sips
with E so that thetter would not drink alone.
Raising her ss, E said, “Queeny, thank you for being so nice to me these days. I propose a toast
to you.”
Queeny gave a faint smile, raised her ss and touched E’s.
She took a sip, while E gulped the whole ss.
Seeing that, Queeny frowned lightly, but soon released.
Now that E desired to drink, let her be.
Queeny dismissed the titude of “drowning one’s sorrows”. One could never solve his problems by
merely getting drunk.
After sobering up, he would have to suffer from the hangover as well as facing the unsolved problem,
which would only add to the dismay.
That was why Queeny would never choose to evade a trouble in this way.
With that said, she was aware that not everyone in the world thought the way she did.
If alcohol really had the magic of rxing and delighting someone for a little while, she was willing to let
him try.
If not, he could at least vent his feelings.
Thus, Queeny made no fuss about it.
Having taken a couple of sses, Queeny quitted the drinking, but E continued one ss after
another.
