"Should I just not go back? After all, it's just a contract signing," he said, feeling hopeless even as the words left his mouth.
"No, work is important. William, do you know when I like you the most?" How could a man give up work for a woman?
"When?" he teased her.
"When you're working diligently, being the decision-maker in the company, supporting the Griffith family, and being the impressive father to Lewis. That is when you're the most attractive to me. I don't want you to ruin that image because of me, otherwise, your family might dislike me even more."
William's heart softened at her words. It seemed his family still posed significant pressure on Cherish.
But he was always good to Cherish, willing to face her with his best attitude, no matter what she said or thought. He always managed to comfort her without bruising her pride, even when she lacked confidence.
"So I'm that good in your eyes? What should I do? I'm becoming arrogant."
