I generally don't befriend men

Watching the rich array of expressions on David's face, William found it especially amusing for a moment.

In reality, he wanted David to realize that no matter how hard one tries, it's futile to gain the affections of a woman who doesn't love him.

Of course, it was also essential for him to make David understand the treacherous nature of society.

Yes, that was the right way to put it.

William had met David a few times before, and every time the young man saw him, he never had a friendly expression, clearly indicating his animosity.

In situations where others didn't resort to violence, William wasn't a fan of it either. As Bella often said, "It's better just to irritate them."

David had never gotten the better of William. When he came out of the medical room, his intention was to make William look like a clown in front of Bella and the others.

However, to his surprise, he realized he was the real clown.
