Chapter 50 After thinking for a moment , she said , " A marriage alliance is not something to be taken lightly , so I will treat it with the utmost seriousness . Since I harro already agreed to it , I will do my best to get along with my intended partner . " After speaking , she smiled at Woodrow and added , " You don't need to worry . " " Me … worry ? " "Yes ." Kaneeta nodded earnestly . She thought that Woodrow was probably asking about her attitude on behalf of the Hartwell family . As an older brother , it was only natural for him to be concerned about his younger brother's marriage . It was a long while before Woodrow finally responded with a soft , " Mm . " The car stopped in front of the residence where Kaneeta was currently staying . Kaneeta thanked Woodrow , and just as she was about to get out , she suddenly heard him ask , " There's a movie premiere on the twenty - second of next month . Would you like to go together ? " Kaneeta was taken aback and instinctively turned to look at him . Woodrow's face was expressionless , but there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes and brows . In fact , Kaneeta quite enjoyed watching movies , especially the one next month - a masterpiece that a renowned director had spent years preparing , and it was a genre she liked . Despite her busy schedule , she had even found time to follow its news recently . But she hadn't expected Woodrow to suddenly invite her. On the twenty - second of next month , by then , she would have already returned to Roseburn . By then , she should have already met Miguel , right ? At that time , what would it mean for her to go to the movies with Woodrow ? " No , thank you . " Kaneeta smiled politely . " I … don't really like watching movies . Goodbye , Mr. Hartwell . " With that , she opened the car door and got out . Watching her figure disappear into the residence , Woodrow was Chapter 50 silent for a long time before suddenly curling his lips into a smile . " Little liar . " She had lied to him twice in one evening . No , three times . She even said she would do her best to get along with her intended partner . Yet she refused to even go to the movies together . But it didn't matter . They still had plenty of time ahead of them . She had just come out of a failed relationship ; how could he force her to immediately throw herself into a new one? For now , the most important thing was to heal her wounds and chase away her nightmares . As for everything else , he was willing to wait . After entering the house , Kaneeta first called Atticus . " Atticus , if possible , please try not to trouble Mr. Hartwell with Chapter 50 my affairs in the future." Atticus was taken aback . " Why ? " " He has already helped me so much before . I owe him a lot of favors , and if this continues , I'll never be able to repay them all , " Kaneeta said . " But … " Atticus hesitated , as if wanting to say more . " Atticus , I know our two families are to be joined in marriage ." " You know ? " Hearing this , Atticus was even more confused . Since she already knew about the marriage alliance , why would she say such things ? Regardless of whether the two of them would end up together , wasn't it normal for Mr. Hartwell , as a man , to do a bit more in their interactions ? " Yes , but even so , we shouldn't trouble Mr. Hartwell over every little thing ." Atticus gave a wry smile . " Neeta , you're far too considerate . There's really no need to be so cautious . Mr. Hartwell , he … " Before he could finish , his secretary hurried over to report a work issue - apparently , something had gone wrong somewhere . Chapter 50 Atticus immediately lost his temper : " You can't even handle such a small matter ? " " Atticus , please go ahead and take care of your work ! "
