Her Sensational Return with Triplets After Six Years

Chapter 79 Don't Call Me Lisa

Chapter 79 Don't Call Me Lisa

When Bethany heard that, she paused for a few seconds before she came back to her senses.

"Stay here for a while. I'll fetch a glass of water for you." Bethany made an excuse and went out.

After she left, Raymond tossed his head, trying to sober up.

"Mr. Zavala." At this moment, Ainsley quietly pushed open the door and entered the room. Raymond

rose at the sight of her and greeted her politely, "Hi, Ainsley."

Raymond had forgotten that Ainsley was there. It was embarrassing to sleep in the room when he was

drunk.

"It's getting dark. Please stay for dinner." Ainsley said warmly, "Although I'm not as good as those chefs

of yours, my cooking is not bad. After all, I've cooked for so many years. Mr. Zavala, you can have a

taste."

Raymond said, "Thank you, Ainsley. I'm sorry for troubling you."

After Raymond spoke, Ainsley smiled lightly. She thought he was polite.

Ainsley looked back at Bethany, who was still in the living room. She turned to Raymond and asked

directly, "Mr. Zavala, will you marry Lisa?"

This question...

Raymond was wondering how he should answer the question. Could he say his proposal had been

refused?

Looking at his disturbed face, Ainsley smiled again and said, "If you love her, treat her well. I'm not

exaggerating. Lisa is a very good girl, and it takes good luck to marry her. She's kind, beautiful, and

intelligent. Many men are courting her."

Raymond believed her. He gathered some information from her words. "You call her Lisa. Is it her pet

name?"

His question surprised Ainsley. Bethany's real name was Melisa Hamilton, and Ainsley had been calling

her Lisa since infancy. She continued to call her Lisa after the latter changed her name.

"Yes." Seeing that Bethany hadn't told Raymond the truth, Ainsley had to tell a lie. "It's her pet name."

At this moment, Bethany entered the room with a glass of water. Ainsley quickly said, "Lisa, please

take care of Mr. Zavala. I'm going to make dinner. When dinner's ready, I'll come to call you."

After she spoke, Ainsley went out to the kitchen and made dinner.

Raymond quickly explained, "Ainsley asked me to stay for dinner."

"You're lucky. Ainsley is much better than those chefs of yours." As she spoke, Bethany handed him

the water.

Raymond took a sip of water and looked at her. "Lisa."

At the mention of the name, Bethany shuddered and looked at him in shock.

Apart from her dad and Ainsley, only Adriel had ever called her Lisa.

"What did you call me just now?"

"Lisa. Ainsley said it was your pet name."

Bethany let out a sigh of relief. Raymond said, "Lisa? It's a nice name. I'll call you Lisa from now on."

"No!" Bethany said loudly. She didn't want any man to call her Lisa again.

Bethany had overreacted. It was her subconscious reaction. When she saw the surprised look on

Raymond's face, she quickly regained her composure and said, "You'd better call me Bethany."

Raymond didn't know why she overreacted. His intuition told him it was not that simple.

"By the way, Nolan came to see me today." Bethany quickly changed the subject. "He showed me Mrs.

Shepard's physical checkup result. It's gastric cancer."

"Is it indeed cancer?"

"Yes." Bethany nodded. "There's hope for recovery, but Mrs. Shepard has to suffer a lot from the follow-

up chemotherapy."

Raymond sighed softly. He had wished it to be a false alarm, but...

"Nolan is a doctor and knows many experts in this field. His mother will be fine," said Bethany.

"I hope so."

"Dinner is ready," Ainsley shouted outside the room. Bethany quickly responded, "I got it, Ainsley."

"Let's go for dinner."

Ainsley made a sumptuous dinner. When Bethany and Raymond sat at the table, Ainsley said, "Enjoy

the dinner. I'm going out for a walk."

Bethany hastily said, "Ainsley, you haven't had dinner yet."

"I ate too much at lunch. I'm still full. I'll go out for a stroll. Have a good appetite." As she spoke, Ainsley

changed her shoes and went out.

Bethany couldn't help wondering why Ainsley suddenly got so tactful.

After Ainsley left, Bethany was left alone with Raymond. Looking at the dishes that filled the table,

Bethany said, "You're lucky today. Have a taste of the dishes. Ainsley is a great cook."

As Raymond was the guest, Bethany put some food on his plate.

"I'm curious about your relationship with Ainsley," Raymond asked as he enjoyed the dinner.

"Ainsley has been working at my home since she was young. She's more like a nanny than a maid. I

grew up under her care."

A maid?

Recalling that Bethany ordered the dishes decently in the restaurant, Raymond suddenly realized

something.

"Was your family rich before?"

When Raymond first met Bethany, she lived in a small apartment. When she told him that her parents

passed away, Raymond subconsciously thought Bethany came from a poor family. However, it didn't

seem so.

Bethany said uninterestedly, "Kind of."

"In this case, your parents should have left their properties to you after they died."

Bethany suddenly felt the food in her mouth tasteless. She looked at him and said, "Raymond, did you

do it on purpose? I used to be wealthy, but now I'm poor. Of course, my family went bankrupt. Is it so

difficult to guess? You like to rub salt into my wound."

"I didn't mean that. I was curious..."

"I don't want to listen to your explanation. Get out after you are through," Bethany said sulkily. "I spent

the afternoon looking after you, and I haven't replied to the messages from the online patients."

Looking at her sullen face, Raymond couldn't help smiling.

When Raymond was enjoying the dinner, Nolan went to discuss Fiona's illness with Karter at home.

They reached an agreement that only the two of them should know about this. They would keep it not

only from Fiona but also Aria.

After all, if Aria knew about this, she wouldn't be able to keep the secret.

At night, Nolan stayed at Shepard's mansion for dinner. Fiona was surprised.

She looked at Nolan and asked, "Since you fell out with your dad many years ago, you seldom come

home, let alone have dinner here. Why do you suddenly stay for dinner today?"

"I feel like staying for dinner. What, don't you welcome me?"

"Of course, I'm glad that you stay for dinner. I just find it unbelievable." Although they didn't tell Fiona

about her illness, she was worried. She asked, "What's wrong with my physical checkup result?"

How could Nolan have stayed for dinner with Karter if the result had been good?
