I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date Novel - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Exposed

William Scott laughed. “You’re exaggerating.”

“I’m not exaggerating. When I go out with my friends to have barbecue, the food they roast are nothing compared to yours. If I go out to play in future, you have to come with me.”

“Ha, no problem.” William Scott smiled and agreed.

Yvette Quinn was speechless. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she said, “You have to take a meat roaster with you when you’re out having barbecue with your friends? You’re putting on airs.”

Xenia Lewis chuckled and said, “Yvette, you can’t be so petty, right? Are you afraid that I’ll snatch your boyfriend?”

Yvonne Shaw slapped Xenia Lewis’s head and said, “You brat, how can you say such things? Eat your roasted meat.”

After he finished eating, William Scott packed all the rubbish into bags and put them into the trunk of the car.

Larry Zion frowned and said, “Why did you put the rubbish in the car? The car will smell awful.”

William Scott said, “It’s rare to find such a good place like this where people rarely come. I don’t want this place to be filled with trash when I come back in the future.”

Yvonne Shaw immediately praised, “Not bad, not bad. You have a strong sense of environmental protection. We didn’t pay attention to environmental protection in the past and have already suffered too much. We have to start from the individual and start from the beginning.”

Larry Zion’s face darkened. How could he be so stupid? Yvonne Shaw was working at the Environmental Protection Bureau. How could he not show off in this aspect? However, it was too late.

Yvonne Shaw and Yvette Quinn had the habit of taking naps. After eating, they went back to their tents to sleep.

Xenia Lewis was full of energy. She looked at the small lake and said, “If only we could play in the lake.”

William Scott said, “Go upstream from here. There’s a small stream there. The stream is very clear. You can play with the water there and won’t disturb Uncle from fishing.”

Xenia Lewis immediately said, “Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up!”

“Go on, go on,” he said. “You’d better get this girl away. If she’s here, I won’t be able to fish properly.”

Even though the fish in the lake were extremely good at nibbling the bait off, there was really an abundance of fish. After knowing how to fish, Yoel Quinn’s harvest was bountiful, and he was also in the mood to fish. Xenia Lewis was chattering non-stop here, and he was already having a headache. William Scott was more than happy to take her away.

Actually, Larry Zion did not like fishing, but he could not go with William Scott and the rest now. He could only brace himself and accompany Yoel Quinn now. He felt an inexplicable sense of defeat. He had always been cautious in front of Yvette Quinn’s family. It was not easy to get Yoel Quinn and his wife to have a good impression of him, but William Scott suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He did not seem to be working hard, but he managed to coax the two elders so easily.

Hence, Larry Zion was even more determined to expose William Scott!

The water in the lake came from a small stream. This stream was about two meters wide and ten centimeters deep. The small fish swam freely inside.

Xenia Lewis threw off her shoes and rolled up her pants, preparing to enter the water.

However, the shore was still rather slippery. In her panic, she lost her footing and cried out in alarm. Her feet slipped into the stream and her body fell backward.

“Be careful.” William Scott dashed behind Xenia Lewis and reached out to grab her waist.

Xenia Lewis instinctively tightened her grip and hugged William Scott. She stomped her feet twice more and finally managed to steady himself.

“I had the shock of my life. Thank you.” After calming down, Xenia Lewis realized that this position was rather ambiguous. She immediately wanted to let go of William Scott and stand up straight.

William Scott held her waist to steady her before letting go. He smiled and said, “Be careful. Otherwise, you’ll be covered in mud.”

It had to be said that Xenia Lewis’s waist was really very soft. Even if William Scott only held her up for a bit, he still didn’t want to let go. However, Xenia Lewis was considered his cousin-in-law now, so he naturally couldn’t have any thoughts about her, even if this identity was fake.

“I know.” Xenia Lewis stuck out her tongue and slowly got into the water. However, the rocks under the water all had moss growing on them. They were very slippery and it was hard to walk steadily. She looked at William Scott for help and said, “William, come down and pull me.”

“No problem.” William Scott put on his shoes and went into the water. Then, he held Xenia Lewis’s hand.

At this moment, Xenia Lewis walked steadily. She kicked the stream and said contentedly, “It’s comfortable! It’s really too comfortable!”

William Scott accompanied Xenia Lewis and felt an indescribable sense of relaxation. For the past few years, he had spent half of the year on the brink of death. Even if he had such powerful abilities, he could not guarantee that he would be able to see the sun the next day.

That was why William Scott still had a kind of darkness and violence in his heart. Xenia Lewis’s sunlight seemed to be able to resolve that kind of darkness. It really made him feel very comfortable.

“You’re my cousin-in-law… no, I should call you the fake cousin-in-law, right?” Xenia Lewis suddenly turned around and revealed a mischievous smile.
