Chapter 161 I'm Sorry. I Can't Help You
At eight o'clock in the evening, Dermot returned from the company and saw Natalie standing outside the mansion.
"What are you doing here?" The man got out of the car and walked towards her with his expression complicated.
In fact, he could guess some of it. The current situation of the Barns family in Moris City was widely known, so there’s only one reason for Natalie coming to find him now.
Natalie looked somewhat disheveled at that moment. Her eyes red as she looked at the man in front of her. "Dermot, can you help the Barns family once?"
"Let's talk inside." Dermot neither agreed nor refused.
But Natalie didn't move, still standing in place. "I won't go in. I came here today just to ask for a result."
Upon hearing this, Dermot didn't force her and looked at her for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry, Natalie. I can't help you."
"Dermot, if you don't help the Barns family this time, my dad will let me marry to the Stanley family, using my lifelong happiness in exchange for the cooperation between the Barns and the Stanley families. Even so, can't you help me just once?"
She looked at him with pleading eyes, hoping that he could help her this time, even if it was just once.
Dermot frowned and said seriously, "Don't worry. I won't let your dad marry you off to the Stanley family. I have my own way."
However, this was not what Natalie want.
"Is that really the only way to go?" She looked at Dermot in front of her and felt that he was a stranger.
Perhaps it is not that he is a stranger, but that he has never really known him.
"Natasha, although the police didn't track you down so much, you and I both know why Natalie died. I didn't do anything to you."
On one side is Jiang late, whom he likes, and on the other is a good friend who grew up. He is also very embarrassed.
Originally, I was already very sorry that I didn't help Evelyn. if I helped the Barns family now, wouldn't I push Evelyn away by myself.
Natalie did not defend herself, she knew that this matter could not be hidden from Dermot, and she was sure that he would not do anything to him, so she dared to frame Evelyn so boldly.
She bowed her head and wept softly. Dermot listened with indifference.
Natalie looked up and asked him, "Dermot, in fact, I have been wanting to ask you for so many years, have you ever liked me?"
This question came all of a sudden, and Dermot didn't know how to answer it for a while.
"Before Evelyn showed up, everyone said that we were the most suitable partner, and you didn't retort at that time. I thought you liked me, too."
"But then you got married and almost didn't resist anything, and at that time I was asking myself, did you really like me?"
"I went abroad angrily, waiting for you to chase me, but you didn't.” She laughed as she spoke.
"When I heard abroad that you and Jiang Wan had a bad relationship after their marriage, you didn't even go to see her, and I thought you liked me in your heart."
"I was skeptical and certain back and forth, and it wasn't until I returned home that I was sure that you didn't like me at all. In your heart, I've always been a friend and a good marriage partner, right?"
Dermot listened to her say so much in one breath, and his face was particularly heavy. "Maybe, in fact, before Jiang Wan appeared, I couldn't even tell what love was."
Natalie took a deep breath and kept her tears from falling. "All right, anyway, I just want a result today, otherwise I will always be unwilling."
"I won't say anything if you won't help the Barns family, but for the sake of our friends, have a drink with me?
Think of it as a toast to my dying life of happiness, "she said.
"I can go to the Stanley family."
"No, if I can't marry you, it's the same for everyone. At least the Stanley family can help my father keep the Barns family, which is actually quite good."
She smiled and seemed to have figured it out.
Dermot had no choice but to nod: "think it over yourself."
"Just say whether you want to accompany me or not.
Having been friends for so many years, you can't even drink two glasses of wine, can you? " She asked.
