Chapter 51 Honest Man

When they turned to the origin of the voice, they saw Louise approaching them.

She probably just returned after her bath in the hot spring. Her hair was wet, and she was only wearing a laced dress on top of her sexy bikini. That combination of clothing was really inviting people’s imagination to run wild.

She had an extremely attractive figure, and she knew how to put on the right clothes to display her beauty. When looking at her, it felt as though she was simultaneously showing off her perfect, sexy figure without losing her modesty.

Her craftiness was evident.

Seeing that she had just come from the resting area, it would appear she was waiting for Jonathan.

As a woman herself, of course, Michaela could see the affection in Louise’s eyes.

Just as she was going to find an excuse to leave, Louise approached her instead of Jonathan and stood in front of her. “You’re Old Mr. Simmons’ granddaughter, Ms. Lingard, right? There are quite a lot of mosquitoes during the night here, so I specially prepared a bottle of mosquito repellent for you. It’s quite useful. I wanted to deliver it to your room, but I didn’t know which room it was, so I decided to wait here after taking a bath in the hot spring. Don’t worry, it’s brand new. I haven’t even opened it yet!”

Even though it was the first time they met, Louise was acting like she was familiar with Michaela.

There was a bright smile plastered on Louise’s face while she spoke, as though she wanted to come off as gentle and generous. If Michaela wasn’t experienced enough to know Louise clearly had an ulterior motive, she would have been moved by that benevolent offer. In actuality, it only made her suspect Louise’s intentions. Sure, it’s natural that she’s calling me Ms. Lingard since we’re not familiar with each other. However, it’s definitely suspicious that she intentionally brought up my granddad. Is she reminding me that, if Adrian wasn’t my granddad, I wouldn’t have the chance to stand next to Jonathan? Or is she reminding me to know my place and don’t get in her way? Which is it?

It not only made her dislike Louise, but it also made her stop thinking that she was an excellent woman and that she was a good fit with Jonathan.

Staring at the mosquito repellent in Louise’s hand, Michaela stepped backward and rejected without hesitation, “I won’t take it if you need it too. Besides, I’m allergic to that kind of stuff. I’m afraid I have to reject your offer, Ms. Johnson.”

though she didn’t expect Michaela to reject her generosity. She quickly returned to her senses and smiled. “It’s all right. I apologize for being presumptuous,
