Chapter 716
For that split second, Peter felt repulsed.
He was not stupid.
Esme had done so many things behind his back and he knew that she had not let go of Conrad at all.
However, once a person fell in love and believed that that one person was the one for them, they would become
humble.
As long as she did not do things too absolutely, he would follow her to the end of the world.
Waiting for that one day when she would realize that he, Peter, was the man that was worth her love.
“Peter?” Esme tilted her head to look at Peter, acting like she was at a loss.
Peter looked at her, saw Britney’s face, and suddenly regretted it.
He should not have changed her face. He should have let her continue looking like her original self, brought her

“Do you feel unaccustomed, looking at Britney’s face?” he suddenly asked her.
Esme frowned. “What do you mean?”
Peter’s gentle brows curved as he said lightly, “I am a little unaccustomed to seeing Britney’s face doing things that
only Esme would do.”
Esme looked at Peter in shock. “You’re missing her?”
She immediately started to worry.
Now, Britney was her scapegoat. If Peter suddenly realized that he had feelings for a dead person, his cruel
methods would definitely make her wish she was dead!
“Peter. We are now in the same boat!” Esme was very nervous internally and her expression was a little ferocious.
Peter stretched his arm out and held her chin, looking at her face left and right.
“The two of you are really unalike.”
Esme slapped his hand away. “I never thought of betraying you. I’m only doing this for revenge! Don’t
misunderstand me!”
Peter laughed lightly a couple of times as he started the car and set off, suppressing a little disgust within his heart.
He had already said so many warning words. If she could not take his words in, no matter how much more he said,
it would all ultimately be useless.
The future was vague. He would just have to take things as they were.
It’s just that his sister, Sally, would have it hard.
If anything were to happen to him in the future, his sister would be entrusted with the responsibility of taking care
of their parents.
He was not able to give anything to his sister, but he had to do his best in helping her plan in terms of finances.

Esme was stunned. “Why do you want to sell them?”

are not cheap. So, I might as well sell them.”
Esme,frowned. “Are you someone who lacks money?”
“Nobody’s money falls from the sky. Can you not be a little thriftier?” Peter swept her a glance and said
sarcastically, “Why? You want to manage my money before even marrying me?”
“I didn’t mean that.” Esme pinched her palm. “You have never treated me badly financially.”
“Good that you know. I don’t expect you to repay me, but I do beg you not to disappoint me!” Peter was silent for a
couple of seconds before adding on. “Don’t try to play any of your tricks on my family.”
“How could that be possible?” Esme smiled. “Your sister and parents have no vengeance with me. I won’t harm
them.”
Fia finished her shower and went down, but did not see Conrad. She asked Mrs. Taylor, “Where is he?”
“Master Maxwell has gone next door”
“Mr. Lane’s house?”
“Yes.” Mrs Taylor hesitated before asking, “Do you want to go over? I can bring dinner over so you and Mrs. Lane
can eat together Mrs Whitley and I can make some food that the two children like to eat too.” Fia stood by the
stairway, thinking about something that no one knew about.
