It was Lily’s first time making Alexander angry, and he continued to fume the entire night and said no words to her. Although he did not lash out at her nor did anything to show his anger, she could feel that he was upset.‘Is he mad because he thinks I’m jealous or because I’m not?’Lily had little experience in relationships. When she was still dating Nathaniel, she had never once felt jealous. After all, Lily focused on working for their future and regarded Melanie as their mutual friend. She never thought that anything would happen between Nathaniel and Melanie.When she found out about Nathaniel’s affair, she felt betrayed, used, and lied to. It made her mad and upset. In retrospect, she was angrier than she was upset. As for jealousy, she felt none of that.She wondered if Alexander wanted her to be jealous or the other way around. However, he said nothing was happening between him and Brittany, so Lily felt no reason to be jealous.Before she could find an answer to her que
‘God knows!’The way she rolled her eyes was so adorable to Alexander that he smiled. The joy spread from his eyes to every corner of his face, delightful like the spring breeze."All right, let bygones be bygones. Let's not talk about that anymore." Then, he raised his hand to caress the top of her head and asked, "Who called?"With a pout, she patted down her hair and thought to herself in confusion, 'Let bygones be bygones? He’s the one who was angry yesterday. Yet today, he seems like a completely different person.' However, seeing that Alexander was back to his usual self, Lily could no longer be bothered. "Lisa called. She invited me to dinner today and said I would go. So, do you have any plans today? If you don't, then I'll go see her.""Nope. You can go." He smiled.Alexander had two other clients he had to meet. Although it did not matter, he wanted to settle any business-related things in one sitting since they were already in Westwood. "By the way, I heard you ment
Once Lily arrived at the agreed-upon location, she discovered that it was a relatively high-end clubhouse that was carefully maintained. Once she mentioned her name, someone led her upstairs. Although it was not a private room, the entire second floor was empty. The restaurant was surrounded by glass windows, giving the restaurant a unique and romantic look. People were playing the violins. Melodious music filled her ears, making her feel very relaxed. "Lilsy!" Lisa called out, waving in Lily’s direction.Even if Lisa had not called out, Lily would have spotted her. After all, other than the waiter, Lisa was the only one on the whole floor."Lisa!" Lily greeted her and walked over to hug Lisa.When the two let go, Lisa explained smilingly, "Mr. Corden has something to attend to and will run a little late. He asked me to apologize to you on his behalf." "It's fine," Lily said with a smile. "Honestly, there's no need for him to do all this. He already thanked me for the other da
However, Lisa shook her head as the corners of her lips curled up. "They didn't even get married. How could they be divorced?""Ah…" Lily exclaimed. The first thing that came into her mind was how open-minded the people abroad were. How could a couple not get married and have a child that age? "Actually, Nick was all part of Helen's plan," Lisa mumbled and sighed. Then, she looked out the window as if reminiscing. She knew all this because she used to regard Helen as her friend back then and even had a little sympathy for her."Plan? Is that not his child?" "No, it is his! Helen had always liked Mike. She was madly in love with him and swore that she would marry him. However, Mike didn't bat an eyelid at her. Later, she pulled some tricks out of her sleeves and got herself pregnant with his child. In her mind, Mike would marry her after finding out she was bearing his child. She did not expect that he did not even want this child at all, but Helen refused to abort it and insist
Mike overheard their conversation when he came up and interjected. "Mr. Corden." Lily stood up and nodded her head when she saw him. Then, he gestured for them to sit while he held a little boy with his other hand. "Hello, everyone," Nick greeted politely. His voice was crisp and very pleasant to the ear."Hello, Nick," Lisa replied with a smile. She was pretty familiar with him. Lily also joined in with a nod. "Hello."The little boy was holding a well-packaged box in his hand. After letting go of his father's hand, he walked straight up to Lily and handed the box over to her. "Ms. Christian, my father said you saved me. I can't repay you for saving my life, but here is a small gift as my token of appreciation. I hope you like it."Although he was still young, he was very articulate with his words. If Mike had given the gift, Lily might have rejected it, but since a child gave it, she did not expect it to be expensive, and the box was not very big either. She could not bear t
Lily did not look like she was talking nonsense. Looking at the little guy's complexion, he was fair and cute. However, the fairness of his skin was weak and unhealthy, which made people feel bad for him. "How did this…" "It might be hereditary, but it’s not certain. The world is so big, and there are always some incurable diseases, which is not unusual,“ When he said that, he seemed restrained and calm. He did not sigh as if it were just a common disease. Seeing Lily staring at him, she may feel that her eyes were full of pity. She even took the initiative to say, "Miss, I'm not uncomfortable. I'm used to it. It doesn't matter."The more she did, the more uncomfortable she felt. After all, he was just a child. She was so young and yet so sensible. She even comforted Lily. What a good child. "There’s no cure? Like you said, the world is so big. There may be a possibility of a cure.”Mike shook his head, "I have seen many doctors, but this ailment is quit
"You miss them?" Lisa looked puzzled. "I remember you don't have any family. Do you have a boyfriend?"Lily smiled implicitly. Instead of directly answering the question about her boyfriend, she said, "I have a family, but I don’t keep in touch with them often."“A lot of guys are probably chasing after someone as outstanding as you,” Mike teased.However, Lisa waved her hand and replied to Mike, "You have no idea. Lily is an amazing person but still a workaholic. If it wasn’t for that d*uche…”Frowning, she suddenly forgot what that person’s name was, so she skipped it, "Anyway if he hadn't been chasing you so closely, I guess you'd still be single. I'm sorry."Suddenly remembering why they had broken up, she stopped immediately.Lisa did not know much about what had happened before. If it were not for this competition, she would never have had the chance to see her again. She only knew what had happened to Lily recently."It's okay," Lily smiled and said disapprovingly, "It's
After hearing that, the server breathed a sigh of relief, hurried over, and waved to let Helen up. Helen saw the signal and rushed forward in three steps but was stunned when she saw Lily and Lisa.She immediately turned her attention to Mike, saying, "Mike, I went to the hospital and discovered that you brought Nick home. Why didn’t you tell me about the discharge? Do you know how worried I was about him?!""Since you can see that he’s okay now, you can go," Mike said without any particular expression.Helen failed to convince Mike, so she looked at the child instead, "Nick, thank goodness you’re okay! Do you know how worried I was? It was all my fault! I’m so sorry! Are you feeling better now? Do you want me to accompany you and take care of you?”She opened her arms to hug Nick as she spoke. Lily glanced over, seeing Nick subconsciously avoid his mother’s hug. His body naturally moved back. "You don't need to take care of him. Just stay away from him," Mike said unceremoni
