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 I shouldn’t disturb your dinner with Mr. Howard, Whitney said before trying 

But Lilian held Whitney’s wrist and responded, “We’ve promised to have a meal together. Besides, there’s still something more I want to learn about the company, 

Whitney couldn’t refuse Lilian, so she submitted to her and entered the passenger seat. 

Lilian’s graceful laughter kept coming from the backseat whereas Whitney felt like she was sitting on a bed of needles 

They finally arrived at the restaurant. 

It had a very romantic floor–to–ceiling glass wall, displaying the e amazing 

coastal view. 

“Noel, I heard you’re the designer of this restaurant. Is that true?” Lilian asked once they were seated. 

Whitney recalled when she was on a date with Damian in this restaurant where they ran into Noel and Thomas. She felt so awkward that she covered her face with 

the menu. 

Because she was having an emotional issue back then, she didn’t pay attention to the restaurant aside from it being the most romantic restaurant in all ot 

It was after the date she realized the design of the restaurant suited her taste. 

But who would’ve thought it was designed by Noel? 

“It was just a help for a friend,” Noel casually replied as if it was insignificant 

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 

Oops! 1 completely forgot I was allergic to peanuts! How did you know, Noel?” Lilian was surprised as she excitedly held Noel’s hands. 

“You’re always so forgetful, so thaw to remember it for you instead. Noel unconsciously withdrew his hands 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 come along?” Whitney had her head lowered, focusing on the meal when she heard Noel asking coldly. 

“Did you not see Lilian insisted on having me tag along?” she looked up, replying, “But don’t worry, I’ll leave once she’s back. I won’t disturb your lovey dovey date any lunder “ 

“Uh–huh,” Noel grunted. “Stay away from her in the future.”

Whitney similed and wondered if her was
