Chapter 39 Did You Two Go on a Date?
Knowing that Nolan had misunderstood, Bethany blushed and quickly reminded Raymond, "Explain to
your friend, and don't let him misunderstand."
"Don't worry about that," said Raymond.
"Don't worry? Because it isn't his reputation that would be ruined, is it?" Bethany thought.
"If you're ready, then we'll start." Bethany picked up a needle.
When she looked at him, the biggest visual impact on her was not his sturdy abdominal muscles, but
the eye-catching scar near his heart.
"Was this the scar caused during the mission you mentioned?" This scar looked particularly frightening,
and it could be imagined how he had been injured.
"There are many scars on my body. Do you want to see them?" Seeing Bethany so interested in his
scars, Raymond joked and began to untie his belt.
Bethany hurriedly stopped him and said angrily, "What are you doing? Who said I want to see them?"
"You want to be Mrs. Zavala, but you don't have enough courage," Raymond sneered contemptuously
as he buckled his belt. "If you have admitted that you want to be Mrs. Zavala by pleasing my son,
perhaps I would get a marriage license with you in order to get rid of Aria Shepard."
He was mocking she was too clever for her own good. He believed that Bethany must regret it now.
In recent days, Bethany feels quite unlucky. She had encountered a medical accident, internet abuse,
the trouble brought by Mr. Shepard and Aria, and even the portrait of Mrs. Gina was strangely lost.
She had been feeling upset, but when she heard Raymond's words, she smiled heartily.
"Raymond, I really thank you!" Bethany expressed her gratitude earnestly. "Since becoming a doctor, I
have met countless patients. Your illness is the only one that can make me so happy."
Raymond squinted at her, keeping a cold face, not understanding her meaningful words.
"If you don't trust me, we can sign an agreement. The agreement will state that we are just fake
boyfriend and girlfriend and will never get a marriage license. Once Aria Shepard completely gives up
on you, we will immediately terminate this relationship. If one party breaches the contract, the party will
have to compensate the other party by one billion dollars. What do you say?"
Raymond's face became increasingly gloomy. He thought, "This dead woman! She's not only tough but
also arrogant!"
"Are you going to do acupuncture or not?" Raymond ordered, "My time is precious. You can't afford to
waste a minute of my time!"
"Okay, Mr. Zavala." Bethany began to treat him. Although they had some grudges, as a doctor, Bethany
was being absolutely careful.
At the beginning of acupuncture, her cellphone rang. It was Shayla. Because she was afraid of
delaying Raymond, Bethany opened the phone and turned it on hands-free.
"Beth, you should be off work now, right? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Bethany gave Raymond treatment when she got off work. She owed him money and had to repay it.
"I'm having a home visit. You guys eat first and don't wait for me."
"A home visit?" Shayla didn't believe it at all. "You've gotten off work. Why did you go for a home visit?
Are you going on a date? Is Raymond next to you?"
"Shayla, you are really smart. You guessed it right." Before Bethany could speak, Raymond interrupted.
Bethany really wished to give him a punch.
"That makes sense," Shayla said helplessly. "Beth, Tyrone and I won't stop you from marrying
someone. You don't have to lie to us for a date."
"I didn't..."
"Raymond, take care of Beth. If you two are busy tonight, you don't have to bring Beth back."
Bethany wondered, "What does he mean by that?"
"Shayla Hamilton! What do you mean...?"
Upon hearing Shayla hang up the phone, Bethany felt angry! This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Who let you interrupt?" Bethany scolded Raymond.
"Shayla asked if I was nearby, so I answered him. Why? Am I not...?"
Bethany was speechless.
"Your daughter seems to like me very much. She only saw me twice and urged me to marry you. She
has shown that more obviously just now."
Bethany heard his pride.
"When I come home, I will educate her well," Bethany said, gritting her teeth.
She also didn't know why Shayla liked Raymond. When they lived in Masston, there were many men
who pursued Bethany, but Shayla didn't think much of any of them.
"Shayla said she didn't have a father. I've always been surprised. Your husband passed away. Why did
you never mention him to the children?"
Upon hearing this, Bethany froze and quickly continued the treatment.
Raymond, just now you said that we were just a fake pair of couple. Since that's the case, I don't need
to tell you my privacy."
From Bethany's reaction, Raymond could conclude that she was lying.
"I am not only your fake fiancée, but also your boss. You don't need to disclose your privacy to me, but
if you have falsified your background or resume, I will punish you severely."
Bethany thought, "My background? My resume? Those things I showed Raymond were indeed fake.
But I don't need to tell him that based on our relationship."
When she found the child, she wanted to bring her three children back to Masston.
"Raymond, when you threatened me, did you forget that I have something on you?" Bethany could only
shamelessly threaten, "I know your condition the best. As long as I prick the wrong point, I can kill you,
believe it or not."
"You dare not."
Upon hearing Raymond's arrogant tone, Bethany wished she could prick him at the fatal point. But she
did not do it.
Bethany didn't speak again and completed the treatment carefully. Then she slowly stood up and
looked at him up and down, as if admiring a piece of her work.
Bethany suddenly laughed, feeling that the imposing Raymond looked quite comical with the needles
covering his body.
"What would happen if I took a photo of you and sent it online?" Bethany pretended to take out her
phone.
Raymond went up to snatch her phone. "Bethany, how dare you!"
Bethany dodged, causing Raymond to lose his balance.
Seeing that the needle on his chest was about to hit the table, Bethany strode forward and pressed her
arms against his chest.
His body fell on her and her waist hit the corner of the table fiercely.
