However, as soon as he reached out his hand, he saw the woman in front of him dodge in disgust.
David Benington was taken aback, and the expression on his face froze.
"Mr. Benington, you seem to have misunderstood something. Whatever your relationship is with that woman, I am not interested in knowing, and it has nothing to do with me. You’ve got the wrong person if you want to explain," she snapped.
If Joanna Lawrence used to have a bit of distaste for David before,
She could say that she now dislikes him very much.
She questioned again what kind of taste she used to have.
How could she not have seen that this man in front of her could be such a scoundrel?
Ironically, she once foolishly thought that David Benington was a rare good man.
She even thought that being an affluent offspring, he had not developed many bad habits of rich men.
She thought he was different from those men who like to play with women’s emotions.
In retrospect, she must have been blind.
She finally believed a saying.
There is not a single good man.
All crows are black under the heaven.
There isn’t a cat that doesn’t steal.
If she hadn’t discovered it earlier, it was only because he had hidden it so well.
Otherwise, how could she not know when he and Annie Lawrence had been together for so long.
If Annie hadn’t actively sought her out, perhaps she would continue to be in the dark.
With these thoughts, Joanna felt even more disgusted with the man in front of her.
Her dodging motion and disgusted expression irritated David Benington.
She could enjoy lying under another man, yet be so repulsed by his touch.
Did she really dislike him that much?
"Joanna, I know you’re still angry with me." David looked at the woman before him with a somewhat infatuated look, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said as calmly as possible, "I know I was in the wrong. I did something I should not have done to you."
"No matter how much I say or do, I cannot undo my mistakes."
"But – I still hope that you will give me another chance."
He thought clearly now, he still loved Joanna Lawrence.
The only person he genuinely cared for was her.
In this life, he would probably never meet another woman he liked as much.
Therefore, he didn’t want to give up just like that.
He wanted to work hard to win her back.
He had already decided that once Annie Lawrence was discharged from the hospital, he would break up with her.
After breaking up, he would be single again.
He could then legitimately pursue her.
He had once been confused and done something wrong, which caused great harm to her.
In the future, he would try to treat her well and make up for his mistakes.
"That woman just now has nothing to do with me. She is the daughter of one of my uncles and just returned from abroad. My mother asked me to take her out to get familiar with the environment, and we just had a meal together, nothing else happened."
"When you saw us just now, she had accidentally sprained her ankle, and I was just politely helping her."
Even though Joanna Lawrence looked like she didn’t want to deal with him, David still wanted to explain what had just happened.
He didn’t want her to misunderstand him.
What he said were mostly truths.
He wasn’t interested in the woman just now, only reluctantly agreeing to this blind date due to Mrs. Benington’s incessant requests.
It was merely a formality.
His mind was all about Joanna Lawrence; how could he be interested in other women?
