NOVEL WEB Chapter 92 - Confession
Chapter 92: Confession
“Then what should we do? What should we do!” Xenia Lewis panicked and stammered, “If my sister finds out that I’ve slept on the same bed as you, she’ll definitely be livid. Moreover, she’ll definitely think that something happened between us. Oh no, oh no, even if I jump into the Pacific Ocean, I won’t be able to clear my name.”
William Scott reached out his right hand and patted her lap gently. “Don’t panic. I’ll just explain to her about this. How could she not trust you?”
Xenia Lewis grabbed William Scott’s hand and frowned. “But we slept on the same bed. Won’t she suspect anything?”
William Scott said, “Your sister is such a rational person. She’s not the kind of person who likes to let her imagination run wild. She naturally knows if it’s true or not.”
“That… seems to be the case. My sister is indeed not the kind of person who would make wild guesses. But this is not a trivial matter. I’m afraid that if she thinks too much, there will be a problem with my relationship with her. I don’t want my sister to suspect me or even hate me.”
William Scott smiled. He and Yvette Quinn’s relationship was fake to begin with. Even if it was true, there was no need for Yvette Quinn to be jealous. At most, he would just tell Xenia Lewis the truth.
“How can you still laugh? I’m about to die from this!” Xenia Lewis glared at William Scott.
William Scott replied, “It’s fine. We’re open and aboveboard. Unless you have a guilty conscience, that’s why you’re afraid of being suspected.”
“I impersonated her openly. I did it for her. I paid a price too, as I slept with you on her behalf!”
“Pfft… Can you ignore the last sentence?” William Scott was speechless.
“Oh, yes, yes. We didn’t sleep together. We just slept on the same bed under special circumstances. Actually, nothing happened between us. I didn’t sleep in your arms. I didn’t hug you to sleep.”
“I’ll remove the last two sentences as well.” William Scott was tired.
Xenia Lewis looked at him with a bitter expression.
William Scott squeezed her hand again and said gently, “Remember, everything you’re doing now is because you’re pretending to be Yvette. Everything you’ve done is for her. This is not your intention. It’s for her relationship with me.”
“That’s right!” Xenia Lewis slapped her thigh hard, then raised her chin and said, “I was doing it for her in the first place. I noticed that her progress with you was so slow and I have always been anxious for her, so I wanted to help her.”
William Scott was shocked. He turned around and looked at Xenia Lewis’ beaming face. He couldn’t help but laugh. She was still so flustered just now. In the blink of an eye, she found a reason to ease her conscience and she was back to herself.
“Okay, let’s go find your sister. Call her.”
“Okay.” Xenia Lewis didn’t hesitate and called Yvette Quinn.
Yvette Quinn was at home. Ten minutes later, William Scott and Xenia Lewis arrived at her place.
As soon as Xenia Lewis entered, she shouted, “Sister, you’ve really tricked me. I’ve been so tired these two days.” Then, she collapsed on the sofa.
Yvette Quinn and William Scott exchanged glances. He smiled at her, indicating that everything was fine.
Only then did Yvette Quinn go over to sit beside Xenia Lewis. She handed her an apple and said, “It’s been hard on you. What do you like? I’ll buy it for you.”
Xenia Lewis took the apple and took a bite. She said, “Do you think you can just buy me a gift as compensation? I suffered a huge loss this time. I don’t even have my reputation left.”
“Reputation?” Yvette Quinn frowned and looked suspiciously at William Scott again, who spread his hands.
Xenia Lewis deliberately said aggrievedly, “My reputation! At Brother-in-law’s house, everyone thought that you guys had slept together, so they arranged for us to sleep in the same room and even a bed. If this incident leaks out in the future, wouldn’t my reputation be ruined?”
The more Xenia Lewis chattered, the more Yvette Quinn knew that she was fine. She replied, “No one will know it’s you. What are you afraid of?”
Xenia Lewis’ eyes widened and she said, “Damn, Sister, won’t you even suspect that something happened between Brother-in-law and me? We slept on the same bed.”
Yvette Quinn snapped, “I know your brother-in-law well. What else can he do to you?”
Xenia Lewis was so aggrieved that she was about to cry. She said, “Sister, you’re really inhumane. I’ve given so much, but you’re actually treating me like this?”
Yvette Quinn glared at her and said, “I know, I know. You’ve paid a huge price. Didn’t I say I’d buy you something?”
“How boring. I wanted to scare you, but you didn’t cooperate. Brother-in-law, you’ve been squatting on the chair for the entire night for nothing.” Xenia Lewis had a sympathetic expression on her face.
The two of them did not agree on this script in advance. There was really nothing to say about Xenia Lewis’ improvisation.
At this moment, Yvette Quinn had to pretend that William Scott was indeed her boyfriend. At this moment, she had to put on a pained expression and say, “You’ve really worked hard.”
William Scott smiled and said, “It’s fine.”
Xenia Lewis nudged Yvette Quinn with her shoulder and said with a smile, “But let me remind you. His mother is now certain that you two have slept together. Today, she even said that she wanted to change his bed, mattress, and the air conditioner at home.”
Yvette Quinn’s expression changed. She finally understood the consequences of this. She turned to look at him and frowned.
Xenia Lewis blinked and said with an ambiguous expression, “Hey, what’s with your expression? You’ve known each other for some time, and Brother-in-law is a good man. You can do whatever you want. Don’t tell me you want to wait until the day you get married before you sleep together?”
Yvette Quinn was even more embarrassed. “This is our own business. Don’t worry about it.”
“What do you mean by asking me not to worry? Aunt and Uncle have been asking me to keep an eye on the two of you. I still have to report to them frequently.”
The corners of Yvette Quinn’s mouth twitched. Then she looked at William Scott again before she said, “You little traitor, I’ve been so good to you for nothing.” She felt a headache sneaking up. She and William Scott had been using each other without any hiccups thus far, but why did it feel like the situation was spinning out of control as more people got involved?
