Lahat ng Kabanata ng That Stranger Lying Beside Me: Kabanata 201 - Kabanata 210

Paisley was not an ordinary person and soon, she came up with a good idea. She had to tell Hayden about this matter. What she had told Valeria about how much he liked her was the truth. He was indeed very fond of her and he had always wanted William to ask for her hand in marriage. She had fallen in love with his looks. His player reputation initially made her think that she was out of his league. However, he was too good-looking, so she fell for him inevitably.   Not only did his looks captivate her, but Hayden had also given her a condition. As long as she was willing to marry William, Hayden would let her enter the Howard Group and give their child 20% of the shares under his name. Even 10% of the Howard Group's shares was a large portion, so she was moved by the deal and accepted his conditions.  Hayden's illness and her first aid were a play conspired by Hayden and Paisley to allow her to appear in front of William in a dignified manner.

After trying a piece, Abbie also frowned like Valeria and William, "It really is bad. Are you sure this is roasted fish?" She said it tasted bad but added more pieces of fish to her plate and gave some to Andrew and Marcus, "Mr. Field, you guys have to try it. It's horrible!" Andrew and Marcus also agreed that it was bad. At first, Michael and Richard thought it was for real, but they realized that the people claiming that it tasted bad did not stop eating it. These people were all foodies. If the fish was really bad, why would they eat it nonstop? When they found out that they had been fooled, they immediately rushed over to grab the fish. It was very delicious. William sneered, "You two are so shameless." "Why should I care about being shameless? As long as there's good food, I don't mind," Richard winked and replied. Michael was also very surprised. "This actually tastes really good. I think that William and Valeria could run a couples' barbecue s

The car stopped after traveling for about 40 minutes. Seeing that Valeria opened her eyes, William's eyes brighten up and asked, "You're awake?" "Oh, I didn't realize that I fell asleep. You should have woken me up," Valeria said embarrassedly. "I just wanted you to rest more." "Why did your dad call you back? Was it something urgent?" "Don't worry, it's just a mess caused by Burtos family," William simply answered. "Were you scolded?" Valeria looked at him worriedly. "Not really, it was just some nagging. I'm fine." "Are you sure?" Valeria doubtfully asked.  "Yes, I am. Alright, let's just forget about this and head in," William held her hand and they entered the villa.  They both needed to wash up after a long day, so they headed to the bathroom. Seeing such an attractive lady like Valeria, William would never be able to resist himself and it led to a steamy make-out session in the shower. William carried Valeria out of the

Valeria and William left the hospital together and returned back to the car. Valeria sighed heavily and said, "Do you know why my father was chasing me away?" "Was it because he couldn't scold you while I was there? Chasing you out would be equivalent to chasing me out as well!" "That's just one of the reasons. Another one is that if we leave, he could call his mistress and her daughter to come to accompany him." "Really?" asked William. "Yes. To him, I'm the disobedient and rebellious one. That lady and her daughter are sweet and gentle. I'm betting that he is going to say things about me later." William caressed her head and asked, "Are you upset?" "No, I think I've gotten used to his way of treating me!" "Was he like this from the start? Does he hit you all the time and whenever he wants to?" "Actually, he was nothing like this when my mother was still here. He treated me so well, just like how a father should. After my mum passed away

"Help! Help me, please!" She was shaking uncontrollably as she must be scared out of her wits. "Ms. Anthony?" Lucas cried out in surprise. Without hesitation, he opened the door and got out of the car. Meanwhile, William opened his eyes when he heard Lucas's exclaim. Initially, he was going to continue to doze through the minor accident. It turned out that Paisley was the unkempt woman who had stopped the car. Shocked by the realization, William also got out of the car. Paisley wasn't looking like the decent and elegant young lady as she should be. Her hair and her clothes were in a mess, and even one of her shoes was missing. When she saw William, she lunged towards him and hugged him pleadingly, "Mr. Howard! Please, help me!" "What happened?" William asked stiffly. He didn't expect Paisley to clutch onto him. He wasn't used to being held by other women like this. He wanted to push Paisley away, but she tightened her arms around him as she was
