Chapter 144 : He is Unwilling

“Who's short? I'm over 160cm tall!" Emily stared at him.



This guy said she was short!



She was over 160cm tall. Why was she short?



If she could be regarded short, how about those who was just over 150cm?



In order not to show weakness, Emily looked up and tried her best to look him in the eyes.



After a while, her neck became sour. Then she found that this guy was as tall as Hunter.



“Can you tell me why you always pester me?”



She was really annoyed. Someone inexplicably pestered her. She was very innocent and helpless.





"If your goal is Hunter, then you're looking for the wrong person. I'm nothing to Hunter. It's useless for
you to pester me.”



“Do you think I want to get information about Hunter from you?"



His smile let Emily realized that she was wrong.



“Then, why?” She was not good at guessing at all.



“I said, I don't know.” Henry's words didn't sound fake.



His beautiful eyes were full of innocence and a trace of confusion, which made it hard for people to
doubt his sincerity.



But was this really the case?



He didn't know why to pester her, but he always pestered her. How could she be convinced of this
excuse?





“Probably because I am unwilling to be driven away by you that night.”



Unwilling? Why did he sound like a kid?



“Was it the first time you had been rejected by a girl?”



The restaurant owner served the first dish. Emily said casually while holding chopsticks.



Unexpectedly, Henry thought about this question seriously.



After a moment, he nodded seriously, "you are the first girl to refuse me."



“Cough!” Emily almost choked to death on the Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs.



Did he have to pester her just because she refused him?





But what was the point?



“You hurt my self-esteem." Henry said seriously once again.



Emily looked at him carefully to study his expression.



Since she found that the man’s words were true. He did not lie to her.



OMG! These noble men were born to be loved by thousands of people.



In particular, Henry was so handsome. He must have lived in the flattery of women all the time.



Now, he was occasionally refused by a girl. Then, he felt that she hurt his self-esteem?



“I refuse you to approach me because of Hunter. I don't want to have any contact with Hunter's friends.
It's just so simple."





Emily felt that it was necessary for her to make it clear to him, so that she would not really hurt his self-
esteem.



"If you are not Hunter's friend, with your so handsome face, I should not have refused so thoroughly
when you accosted me."



Of course, she was not the kind of person who would only be attracted by face. Even if he was
handsome, it depended on

whether he was pleasing to her eyes and the situation at that time.



Like that night, so many people were there. Under that circumstances, she would not refuse a good-
looking guy.



After all, it was a group of people playing together. It did not matter to have one more friend.



Of course, if she was alone, she would probably refuse.



So, she said, it depended.





"Really?" Henry didn't seem to believe it. He turned his head and looked at her face.



“Yes. Most girls won't refuse a man like you."



“Will you refuse me?"



“Will you sever your friendship with Hunter?”



“No.” Henry answered firmly.



Emily gently took a breath and said helplessly, "So, you are Hunter's friend, and I'm not willing to make
friends with you. It is so simple.”

So, after this meal, he should do his own things and not pester her again.



Henry still stared at her small face and wanted to say something. But his eyes finally sank and he didn't
speak.





His depressed expression made Emily uneasy immediately.



Could it be that she hurt his self-esteem again?



But, why was this gentleman so fragile? Could he be a little bit stronger?



The people around, especially the girls, looked at her fiercely and almost wanted to tear her apart.



It was as if she bullied their beloved God and made him so depressed.



“Hey, the Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs here are really good. Would you like to try them?"



In order to avoid those eyes which wanted to tear her, Emily wrinkled her nose and gave a piece of
Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs to Henry.



Henry did not even look at the bowl, but looked at her, "My name is not 'Hey’.”





"..." Emily was speechless. Why did he even care about this small matter?



Anyway, after the meal, they could go their separate ways. She didn't think she needed to know his
name.



But now, this guy's more and more depressed expression almost made her feel sorry as all the girls.



“Well, you... What's your name?"



"Henry. Henry Sharp.” Henry finally was in a better mood than before, “How about you?"



“Don't you know my name?" As a friend of Hunter, it was impossible for him to not know Miss Gale's
engagement to Hunter.



“I only know that you are the daughter of the Gale family." As for her name, he really hadn't checked.



“Emily.” Emily said peevishly. “Now, can we eat?"





The restaurant owner served one soy-braised pork. Although the color was not good, it smelled
delicious!



Emily's mouth was watering and she immediately ate a piece of soy-braised pork.



“Oh... " She covered her lips and looked embarrassed.



“What's wrong?” Henry thought that she choked. So, he immediately patted her back, "Eat slowly, I
won't grab.”



“No. I... It hurts...” tt hurt so much that her tears almost started from her eyes, "No... Don't pat..."



Seeing that she looked unwell, Henry increased his strength, “Eat slowly."



“No, you... Don't pat me. It hurts."



Emily turned and pushed his hand away.





Finally, she swallowed the piece of soy-braised pork. She glared at him and her eyes were red.



“You pat me so hard. Do you want to kill me? Do you know it hurts?”



"I'm afraid you're choking.” What's more, he didn't use much strength... Well, maybe he didn't control
his strength well after he had been trained for so many years.



However, this girl was so vulnerable and could not bear a little strength.



This cognition was a little fresh for him.



Emily covered her lips and breathed. She felt aggrieved.



“Are you scalded, little girl? The dishes are all cooked now. They are very hot. Don't be so greedy. Eat
slowly.”



When the restaurant owner served the third dish, he looked at Emily with a smile.





He looked at Henry again and said with a smile, "You little girlfriend is so lovely."



"Yes." Henry nodded and did not explain.



He never liked to explain the irrelevant things.



But Emily was different. As she wanted to explain that they were not lovers, the restaurant owner had
gone far away.



She glared at Henry and said unhappily, "Why don't you explain? We are not lovers."
