Chapter 288 I Don’t Want to Keep Waiting Anymore
“Mr. Soder?” Beatrice looked up at the man entering the room.

Odin was still holding a thermos in his hand, and his gaze fell upon the food box on the table as he chuckled, “It seems like someone else had the same idea as me.”
To my surprise, Ryan brought up the food he had brought himself, saying, “Mr. Soder, I just came to see Beatrice. This is the food I prepared for her mother, and you arrived just in time.”

Before Beatrice could say anything. Ryan had already left with his things.
She looked at Odin awkwardly and said, “Sorry, are you… are you okay?”
Beatrice noticed that Odin was also wearing a patient gown underneath his coat.
The sea water was so cold that most people couldn’t bear it.
Odin walked to the bedside and placed the food box down. As he opened the box, he reassured, “It’s okay, just a little cold. How about you?”
In order to alleviate the awkwardness, Beatrice jokingly raised her soft and limp arm.
“Jakob almost broke my arm, but everything else was fine.”
‘I looked.”
Odin sat on
the edge of the bed, his slender hand gently grasping Beatrice’s wrist, pulling her towards him.
The sudden approach left Beatrice somewhat bewildered.
She moved slightly, wanting to pull back her wrist.
Odin, however, tightened his grip slightly and cast a deep, penetrating gaze at him, “Are you afraid of me?
“No,” Beatrice answered truthfully.
He slowly rolled up her sleeve and frowned at the red mark on her arm, saying, “Do you know what I was thinking when I pulled you out of the
sea?”
Beatrice shook her head.
I didn’t want to keep waiting anymore.”
Odin’s palm temperature was very comfortable. Seeing that she didn’t reject it, he carefully lifted and kissed the injured area.
Beatrice was a bit disoriented, her mind completely blank.
“I…”
Just as Beatrice was about to speak, the wall–mounted internet TV automatically updated with the latest news
“The Baldwin Group signed a multi–billion–dollar collaboration, and Mr. Caden’s wedding is imminent, bringing double joy.”
Although it was a business collaboration, the media, who loves to create a spectacle, published a photo of Caden and Bella together.
Watching the happy couple, Beatrice recalled Ryan’s words.
She should have started a new life, let go of herself, and let go of others.
The words of refusal were on the tip of my tongue, but they turned into hesitation: “I wasn’t sure, you should know that I…*
Odin pinched her hand and interrupted, “It’s all in the past, how will you know if you don’t give it a try?”
“Your father…”
After
experiencing Xander’s persecution,
When it came to his father, Odin’s smile was casual.
Beatrice was truly afraid of dealing with these
powerful elders.
“Should we organize our chat records into

look?” a
Odin joked.
“I have already mentioned you to my dad, he doesn’t interfere with my love life.”
“Did you make it clear about my situation?” Beatrice emphasized.
Beatrice scratched her head, struggling with how to respond.
Odin didn’t put any pressure on her: “Let’s eat first, I’ll have Keyon go buy some milk, it should be here soon.”

Keyon entered the door carrying a beverage, and Beatrice had just thought of saying thank you when she saw a colorful face.
She exclaimed, ‘Keyon, you were beaten by a crowd?”
“What brawl? Ms. Lindsey, you’re being unfair with your words, aren’t you? I just got hit by Keith! Keyon said, covering his face.
“It was you who couldn’t match up to others in terms of skills,” Odin quipped, taking the drink.
Keyon grimaced and said, “I told him not to slap his face, but he was just like his boss, heartless and indifferent!”
“Keyon,” Odin interrupted, his gaze shifting towards Beatrice.
Beatrice didn’t pay much attention to the person Keyon mentioned, she just smiled and said, ‘Keyon, I remember Keith being quite level–headed, he wouldn’t resort to violence. Did you say something?”
Keyon coughed twice and said somewhat awkwardly, “I saw him acting all refined and said he looked like a toy boy. Was it really necessary?”
Beatrice couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Odin saw her smile and handed her the milk with a straw already inserted, and he also smiled along,
Outside the door.
Caden stood for a moment and then turned to look at Keith.
Keith stood solemnly and whispered, “He deserved it.”
Caden remained silent, turning his body to stare at Beatrice inside the door.
But she was looking at Odin, her clear and bright eyes reflecting the figure of the man.
She really took Odin into her heart.
Although she didn’t immediately accept Odin’s confession, she also didn’t reject it, and she didn’t even refuse when Odin tried to hold her
hand.

Although Caden’s tone was calm, his hands were tightly clenched, with bulging veins, as if he was restraining something.

Jakob was locked I up, there was no escaping the conviction.
But Angie was just assisting in the investigation and came out unharmed.
The deceased toy boy became the mastermind threatening Monica.
Beatrice
knew that the situation was
not like this, but she couldn’t produce any more
evidence.
Not until she hung up the phone did she truly understand how important Ryan’s words “to cut the grass and remove the roots” were.
Beatrice sighed softly.
The next second, the receptionist came in holding a large bouquet of flowers.
“Beatrice, it’s you again. You’ve been spending time together for three days in a row. Are you in a relationship?”
“Thank you.”
Beatrice didn’t answer, she just took the flowers and glanced at the card.
Looking at the abbreviation of the name Odin above, she curved her lips.
“Who is it?”
Other colleagues also curiously gathered around.
Beatrice knew the horrors of office gossip, so she smiled and said, “I will tell you later.”

“It seems like an extraordinary person, hiding away like that,” a colleague joked.
Beatrice smiled and said nothing.
To their surprise, their conversation was overheard by the newly arrived colleague.

“Beatrice is in a relationship? Then why didn’t she treat us? I heard that anyone who dates in the office would bring their partner to treat everyone to a meal. Why are you hiding it? You wouldn’t be so stingy, right? Didn’t you just receive a bonus? Could it be that you don’t actually have a boyfriend?”
“Beatrice, don’t take it to heart, I’m just a bit straightforward and outspoken.”
The woman speaking was a new colleague who had arrived at the company a week ago.

actually familiar with Lucia, but Lucia had an inexplicable hostility towards her.
She even made an effort to search for memories of past lives, and indeed did not recognize this person.
Lucia looked at Beatrice, who had been silent all along, and said impatiently, “Forget it if you can’t.”
“Sure, treating someone is fine, but having a boyfriend is out of the question.”
Beatrice had planned to treat everyone after receiving the bonus, as she had always attended when her colleagues treated.
If she said no now, others would think she only wanted to take advantage.
Lucia gave her a meaningful look and said, “Then
