Chapter 86: I’ll Give You an Opportunity
In the afternoon, more of the relatives arrived, and it became lively. The ones who snagged the most attention were undoubtedly Janna Sands and Graham Scott.
There was an old saying that went, “In the first thirty years, respect lies in the father’s achievements. For the next thirty years, respect lies in the child’s achievements.
The meaning of the saying was that if others wanted to respect you, it would depend on your father’s achievements. When the child has reached adulthood, if he or she had no achievements, then others would not respect the parents.
William Scott could easily give a few hundred thousand dollars to the two families. This had already proved that he was very capable. In addition, he had found a rich and good-looking CEO girlfriend. His status was even more dazzling.
Therefore, Janna Sands and Graham Scott’s status in the family were immediately elevated. They were basically considered representatives of the Scotts.
Xenia Lewis and William Scott were also very busy. The two of them were constantly introduced to the new relatives, and they had to accept their praise.
It was fine if it happened once or twice, but after doing this for the entire afternoon, both William Scott and Xenia Lewis could not take it anymore. However, looking at Janna Sands and Graham Scott’s proud expressions, the two of them did not slip away.
During dinner, William Scott and Xenia Lewis were in the limelight. Many young people came to toast them. Under such circumstances, if Xenia Lewis did not drink, it would seem like she was being rude. Therefore, she had no choice but to drink.
Finally, Janna Sands reprimanded them and the young people stopped forcing William Scott and Xenia Lewis. They also found an excuse to escape the chaos.
The two of them walked together along the path. William Scott said, “I’m really sorry. My young relatives like excitement. It’s also their first time coming into contact with an important person like you, so they can’t help but be carried away.”
Xenia Lewis revealed a sweet smile and said, “It’s fine. I think it was quite fun. My family doesn’t have such an atmosphere.”
“Good. I was afraid you have been tolerating it.”
“I’m fine. Is there anything fun here? Bring me there.”
William Scott pointed at the mountain in front of him and said, “When I was young, I always ran up the mountain to catch wild rabbits. There should be more of them on the mountain nearby, but it’s going to be dark soon. We can’t go up the mountain anymore. Let me bring you to the stream at the village entrance instead.”
After walking for a few minutes, they reached the stream and found a large rock to sit on.
“Are there crayfish? Or is there a big black bear that wants to eat me?” Xenia Lewis asked with a grin. When she first met William Scott, they went to catch many crayfish together and met a big black bear.
William Scott chuckled and said, “It’s really hard to say. No hunting is allowed now. There should be more wild beasts around.”
“I’m not afraid even if there are beasts around. Anyway, I have you.” Xenia Lewis swayed slightly and pouted. “I drank a little too much. Why didn’t you help me up?”
William Scott reached out and held Xenia Lewis’ waist. She leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
The two of them sat quietly for a while before Xenia Lewis opened her eyes again and said, “The water in this stream is very clear. I want to soak my feet.”
William Scott smiled and said, “Sure.”
Xenia Lewis raised her legs and placed her calves on his legs. “Then help me take off my shoes.”
William Scott was stunned for a moment as he looked at her in a daze.
Xenia Lewis pouted and said, “Do you have a foot fetish? I’m giving you an opportunity now, why don’t you seize it?”
William Scott smiled and said, “You’re either giving me an opportunity or testing me.”
“Then hurry up.”
“All right, since you’ve helped me so much this time, it’s only right for me to serve you.” William Scott smiled and reached out to take off Xenia Lewis’ shoes.
She was wearing long pants and high-heeled boots today. It was very easy for her to take them off.
“I’m wearing socks.” Xenia Lewis wriggled her toes.
“You even want me to remove your socks?” William Scott looked at Xenia Lewis in surprise.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to serve me well? Why? Do you think my feet are dirty?” she pouted even more.
“Of course not, but …”
Xenia Lewis shrugged her shoulders and said coquettishly, “Then take it off. I don’t want to move at all now.”
An affectionate expression slowly appeared in William Scott’s eyes. “All right, I’ll take them off for you.” He reached out and took off her socks before putting them in her boots.
Only then did Xenia Lewis nod in satisfaction and say, “That’s more like it. Oh right, roll up my pants too.”
“You…” William Scott patted Xenia Lewis’ calves gently before gently rolling up her pants.
Xenia Lewis smiled mischievously at William Scott and said, “Aren’t you going to seize the chance to take advantage of me?”
William Scott patted Xenia Lewis’s foot again and pretended to be angry. “If you continue like this, I’ll really take advantage of you.”
Xenia Lewis chuckled and placed her feet in the water. “Ohhh… It’s so cold. Do you want to soak your feet together?”
“Yes, I’ll do that too.” William Scott quickly took off his shoes and socks and soaked his feet in the water.
Xenia Lewis gently kicked the water twice and then leaned her head on William Scott’s shoulder again. After a while, she said softly, “You know, I’ve always visualized an image in my mind.”
“What image?”
Xenia Lewis closed her eyes and said faintly, “A man and a woman sitting by the stream. Just like us, we soak our feet in the water and sit quietly for a day. The background of lush mountains and sparkling water, and there are insects and birds chirping in our ears. I think it’s definitely a beautiful sight.”
“Oh, that doesn’t seem like much.” William Scott looked around.
Xenia Lewis opened her eyes and glared at William Scott. She said, “You really ruin the atmosphere. This scene is so beautiful, especially when it’s filmed from behind. It has a hazy sort of beauty. I must film this scene in the future. You’ll understand when the time comes.”
“All right, all right. I may not be able to understand what an artist like you is thinking.”
“Then don’t speak and experience it properly.” Xenia Lewis glared at William Scott again before closing her eyes.
He looked at her face from the corner of his eyes. The scene she had described seemed to be quite wonderful, but it seemed impossible to experience the kind of beauty that she had mentioned.
“Whoo-hoo…”
After about ten minutes, Xenia Lewis actually fell asleep. William Scott had no idea if he should laugh or cry. Wouldn’t such a beautiful scene ruin the mood if she fell asleep?
