Despite the annoyance and resentment bubbling in Leslie’s veins, he had to force a smile and raise his glass reluctantly due to his fear of Nigel’s wealth and affluent background. “Mr. Manson, cheers.”
“Before drinking this glass of wine, I want to thank you for giving Queenie to me,” Nigel narrowed his eyes and said.
Leslie sighed and lamented, “Well, I suppose we’re not meant to be together.”
After Nigel took a sip of the wine, he extended his arm and wrapped it around Queenie’s shoulders. Queenie stiffened in shock and looked up at Nigel beside her.
Nigel looked back at her, and their eyes met. Then, finally, he called out her name softly, “Queenie, I have something to tell you.”
Queenie blinked curiously, looking forward to what he would say to spice things up.
Even Bonnie, who sat across from Nigel and Queenie, felt her heart leap to her throat when she heard Nigel’s remark. Did he plan to confess to Queenie in front of her parents?
“Queenie, you may have been worthless to a man who didn’t appreciate and cherish are priceless to me. So from now on, I’ll care for you and love you for the rest of your life.”
you, but you
Queenie was enjoying a morsel of food when she heard Nigel’s statement. She was so dazed that she forgot to chew for a moment as she stared at Nigel, who was smiling so gently. Was he telling the truth or making their bluff seem more believable?
She must admit that Nigel was a natural-born actor if it was a bluff. Julian should even give his best actor award to Nigel.
But it seemed impossible to be true. After all, she was the one who came up with the idea for him to be her pretend boyfriend.
Unexpectedly, Nigel got into character so seriously that she didn’t know how to follow up.
However, never let it be said that Queenie didn’t know how to ad-lib on the fly as she regained her composure and smiled sweetly. “Really?”
Nigel flicked the tip of her nose lightly. “Of course! Do you think I’m bluffing?”
Queenie chuckled and thought. Of course you are! This is all fake from the start!
Still, everyone present felt that Nigel’s confession was genuine. Nigel even mocked Leslie as the man who didn’t appreciate Queenie and regarded her as worthless.
Bonnie was so jealous that she was barely holding on to her rationality, and at the same time, she immediately came to a decisive conclusion. She must ruin Queenie’s happiness and steal Nigel from her. Even if she couldn’t win Nigel’s heart in the end, she would definitely ruin Queenie’s chances to be with a man like him.
“Oh! By the way, I broke off the engagement today, but it is also Bonnie’s engagement day! So I won’t steal the limelight. Dad, Mom, Mr. and Mrs. Payne, please host their engagement party!” It seemed as if it finally occurred to Queenie that she was stealing the limelight.
Maggie nodded when she heard her reminder and said, “Right! We almost forgot about this. So, Bonnie and Leslie…”
“Dad, mom, you misunderstood. I have no intention of getting engaged to Leslie,” Bonnie put her foot down.
At the same time, she glared daggers at Queenie.
It was only natural for Queenie to pick up on Bonnie’s ire. Still, considering the situation, she merely smirked in amusement and turned her attention to Leslie, “You must be responsible for my sister.”
Leslie was a bit chagrined. Bonnie had been so affectionate to him before this, but why did she suddenly change her mind and refuse to marry him?
Were all his efforts in the past six months in vain?
“Queenie, stop sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong. Leslie and I are just friends. You’ve clearly misunderstood things,” Bonnie continued on with her bald-faced lie. After she had set her sights on Nigel, there was no way she would ever admit to being involved with Leslie.
Queenie knew Bonnie’s character like the back of her hand. She knew Bonnie wanted to dump Leslie and steal Nigel. Nevertheless, she would not give her such a chance.
“Bonnie, I’m your sister, so of course, I have to mind your business. Both of you have already done the deed, so it’s only right for me to ensure he marries you!” Queenie avowed firmly.
Bonnie’s frayed nerves snapped as her face flushed with anger. She was flustered as Queenie bluntly revealed that she had slept with Leslie in front of Nigel. She glanced at Nigel to observe his expression, but he was drinking water and didn’t look like he was paying attention to the proceedings.
“Don’t be ridiculous. Nothing happened between us. That day, I was drunk, and Leslie took care of me the whole night. Nothing happened,” Bonnie explained angrily, trying to alter the fact.
Leslie was shocked when he heard Bonnie’s denials. Yet, this was indeed an opportunity for him. to see an individual lying through her teeth and trying her best to get away with it.
“Bonnie, how can you…” Leslie was heartbroken.
“Leslie, hurry up and explain to Queenie what happened that day. Nothing happened between us, right?” Bonnie’s gaze was fixed on him. She was forcing him to take her side.
Leslie finally accepted reality for what it was as he gulped down the wine and hissed, “Whatever!”
“Bonnie, what do you mean by that? You don’t like Leslie?! Do you know how much he spent on you in the past six months just to ask you out?! How can you say such a thing now?” Keira roared, feeling upset on behalf of Leslie.
Maggie and Brandon immediately defended Bonnie valiantly, “Bonnie is still young and immature. Please forgive her.”
“Young? Immature?! Leslie has spent millions on her! How are we going to settle this then?!” It would be an understatement to say that Keira could feel her temper rising with each question she spat.
“Well, that’s not on me. He spent that money willingly,” Bonnie wasted no time in retorting huffily.
After hearing this, Keira was enraged. “What?! How dare you shirk things off, you brat?!”
Queenie was a little bewildered at this point because she didn’t expect things to turn out like this. So, she got up and said, “Dad, Mom, why don’t we go home first?”
“Queenie, are you happy now?” Even at a moment like this, Bonnie didn’t hesitate to push all the blame on Queenie.
Her shameless remarks rendered Queenie speechless.
Alas, Leslie genuinely loved Bonnie. Therefore, he turned to Keira and said, “Mom, please stop. This is between Bonnie and I. We’ll solve the problem ourselves.”
An irritated Bonnie threw the cutlery down harshly, grabbed her handbag, and stormed off. As a result, Leslie hurried to catch up with her as he called out to her, “Bonnie!”
Maggie and Brandon felt a little embarrassed at this moment. Keira hissed in fury, “I don’t think Leslie is lucky enough to marry Bonnie. There will be no further discussions about the matter!”
“We’re sorry. We’re so sorry for Bonnie’s attitude. We will knock some sense into her when we get home.”
“Dad, Mom, we’ll take our leave first.” With that, Queenie nudged Nigel, and they made a hasty exit.
Maggie and Brandon were left in the room, and they kept apologizing to the Payne family. members.
When they finally escaped from prying eyes in the restaurant corridor, Queenie patted her chest and was a little worried about her parents. “They won’t fight, will they?”
“No, but the two families are bound to fall out,” Nigel concluded with a quirk of his brow.
