Chapter 497
Although she had paid for the information, she still felt indebted.
“Maybe another time,” Nina replied, not rejecting the offer directly. “Wait a moment. You gave me strawberries, so I’ll give you something in return.”
She hurried inside her house. Wilfred did not follow her in, quietly waiting at the door. Nina had not planned on what to give him, but she spotted a few bottles of fresh milk and decided to grab them. Wilfred watched Nina’s retreating figure with a gentle smile and warmth in his eyes. When she turned back around, he quickly concealed his emotions.
“I don’t have much at home, but I really like this milk. It’s quite rich. I don’t know if you’ll like it,” Nina said.
Wilfred did not refuse, taking the two bottles of milk from her. “Thank you.”
“It’s nothing. You’ve helped me, and I’ll remember that.”
“You paid for the information. You don’t owe me anything,” Wilfred replied.
“Miranda’s information wasn’t just any information,” Nina said. “Since you were willing to sell it to me, I feel indebted.”
Wilfred rubbed the milk bottles thoughtfully. “How do you know I didn’t approach you on purpose?”
His words made Nina pause. She had considered this but had not voiced it. Since he brought it up, she asked, “Honestly, I’ve wondered. Why did you help me? What do you gain from getting close to me?” She thought for a moment. “I’m just an ordinary person. I can’t figure it out.”
Wilfred could see her wariness. “I gain nothing.”
Nina stared at him, feeling like he was implying that his help had no significance for him. Yet, he still helped.
Nina looked at him, realizing something. “Your name is Wilfred Yates, right?”
Wilfred’s lips curved slightly, his brown eyes seemed to brighten. “Yes.”
“Are you sure we haven’t met before?” Nina asked again.
Wilfred’s fingers tightened momentarily. Before he could respond, someone called out, “Nina!”
Nina turned to see Yvonne waving at her. She immediately smiled. “Yvonne!”
Yvonne came over and hugged Nina. “It’s been so long! It looks like you’ve put on some weight.”
“Really?” Nina touched her face, not having noticed.
Yvonne then noticed Wilfred standing nearby. She looked him up and down, seeing a tall, fair man with gold-rimmed glasses and elegant hands. His face was strikingly handsome.
Surprised, she blurted out, “Wow, Nina, your luck with men is incredible! First, there’s Nash, and now this handsome guy shows up.”
“Don’t be silly. This is my neighbor, Wilfred Yates,” Nina quickly introduced.
Wilfred nodded to Yvonne. “Hello.”
“Hello, I’m Yvonne Turner, Nina’s friend,” she said warmly. “Why are you standing outside? Come in.
“Nina, I’m exhausted. Just got off the plane. Do you have anything good to eat?”
“Sure,” Nina said, knowing that Yvonne had just gotten off a plane and was probably exhausted from her busy schedule and travel.
She then turned to Wilfred and asked, “You haven’t had breakfast yet, right? Want to join us?”
Wilfred did not hesitate. “Sure.”
