Chapter 490 Aleah Invites Betty Out

They were about to get close when David, the bodyguard, rushed in.

"Richard!"

Richard, now used to these interruptions, didn't feel embarrassed with Betty clinging to him. He coughed to break the tension, holding Betty to keep her from falling. "What's up?"

"Aleah's outside and wants to see you," David said, pointing outside.

Aleah had been showing up every few days. If it weren't for this secure estate, Betty would have moved out with Richard long ago.

"She's so annoying!" Betty grumbled but still clung to Richard. "You go handle it."

"You trust me to handle it?" Richard put down the egg he was holding.

"I trust you!" Betty said with a fake smile.

Richard sighed. "No, I don't trust myself to go alone."

"Your ex-girlfriend is gentle and clingy. What are you worried about?" Betty said sarcastically.

"I'm worried about you," Richard said, rubbing his forehead. It was clear Betty wanted him to stay and cook, ignoring everything else.

"So what now, Richard?" Betty teased.

Richard took a deep breath and coughed. "Stop it. David is still here."

David quickly turned around. "I'm not here. I'm leaving now."

Richard was helpless. "Tell Aleah I've done everything I can for her; the past is the past.
