Chapter 226 Stay Away from Her
Noel glanced toward Whitney before looking affectionately at Lilian and smiled. “Up to you.”
Whitney had never seen Noel this gentle before. She always remembered him as cold, ruthless, and even
borderline ruthless...
She felt like an invisible hand was elenching tight on her heart, each squeeze sent a suppressing, throbbing ache
to it.
Lilian smiled sweetly and replied, “You're the best, Noel!”
She then invited Whitney to get in the car
to leave.
“Thank you, Ms. Reid. But perhaps | shouldn't disturb your dinner with Mr. Howard, Whitney said before trying

The waiter confirmed their orders once they'd placed them.
Noel said, “Please change the salad with peanut dressing to Caesar salad.
Whitney was surprised. She realized she was allergic to peanuts, but she didn’t pay attention to the ingredients
on the men since they were set meals.
She felt a slight warmth in her heart, knowing Noel remembered her allergies

before pouring a glass of juice to Lilian.
Lilian tumed scarlet and said embarrassingly, “Hey, Whitney is here, you low!”
Whitney smiled awkwardly. “You're so lucky to have an observant boyfriend like Mr. Howard, Ms. Reid.”
Whitney had misunderstood Noel. She thought he changed the salad because he remembered her peanut
allergy.
It turned out it was because of Lillan. He was so attentive that he knew all about her preferences and aversions.
Whitney felt like her heart had sunk into a cold, bottomless river, freezing her heart
Lilian excused herself to the washroom halfway through the meal,
Noel and Whitney were left at the table, sitting across from each other.
“Why did you calong?” Whitney had her head lowered, focusing on the meal when she heard Noel asking

“Did you not see Lilian insisted on havingtag along?” she looked up, replying, “But don’t worry, I'll leave
