CHAPTER 70

DINNER DATE

The sweet feeling of going out on a date with her ex was overwhelming.

Lila felt a great urge to share this latest development, and the best person she could share this information with was no other person than Brian.

Immediately, she went and stood at the mirror, having a full glance of her beauty, her face flushed with smiles.

If she could be as beautiful as this, she wondered how excessively beautiful she'll look when she changes into something nice and wears makeup.

As she finished staring at her elegant features which would not waste time to get any man yearning crazily for her, she grabbed her phone on the bedside table and placed a call across to Brian immediately.

“Hey, Brian, are you home?” Lila asked; her tone was a clear evidence of her happy mood. Brian didn't need to ask, because he was familiar with that attitude of hers already.

He knows what would come next if he dared to answer her with a ‘no.’

“Not really. But I'll be home in the next fifteen

    CHAPTER 71DINNER DATE 2She wanted to alert Grey of what she had just observed but later decided to keep it to herself. Besides, if it is Cynthia or any of her agents that is doing that, she has a good way of dealing with them.Grey smiled suggestively at her while he pulled the chair for her to sit. Without much waste of time, he signaled the waitress, and she showed up immediately to take their orders.After talking for a while as they ate and drank, Grey stirred up the main topic that had brought them to the dinner.“I'm sincerely sorry about everything that Cynthia did to you at the hospital. I mean, she should be happy that you saved my life and not the other way round,” Grey said apologetically, putting on a pitiful look.Lila sneered in her heart. To be honest, she was still mad at him for doing nothing when he saw Cynthia's violent reactions towards her. Sometimes, whenever she thinks of the incident, she regrets why she offered to save his life in the first place.“I don't

    CHAPTER 72BACK HOME The disappointment in Grey as he watched her sashay to the gate washed out immediately; she caught his eyes staring at her, and she decided to give him a flirtatious wink. After all that happened today, he was hopeful of a better experience on their next hangout.Definitely, he won't allow himself to be as stupid as today again.Even though his depression was slightly taken away, he was still feeling disgruntled that he couldn't take things to the next level. Sure, he's going for a private room the next time they plan for a hangout, because he won't let her get away just like she did today.“But, do you think that'll be enough for him?” Brian asked, smiling knowingly at Lila.“Of course, that should hold him for a while. My joy is that Cynthia would start dying of depression from now,” Lila answered as they both walked into her apartment.“I bet he was expecting more. But too bad, I ruined his plans with my call,” Brian said with a self satisfied smile. He had n

Her hands began to tremble.Is Cynthia doing this on purpose just to provoke her? Lila slouched to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of cold water to cool her fast-beating heart. She sneered as she looked at the multiple pictures Cynthia had sent to her.Fuck! That wasn't the result she was expecting. So that bitch and her husband still got along without a fight even after all the call snubbings and the pictures?She thought Grey and Cynthia were no longer a lovely couple, hoping that those pictures she asked Brian to take would facilitate the destruction of their family. But no, it seems like Grey was only trying to use and dump her while he goes back to his crazy wife afterwards. “That guy must be a jerk!” She cursed with bitterness

Wasn't she involved in a fatal accident that claimed her life?“Besides, why the coincidence? First, an anonymous number threatened her with exposing Jannell's identity, and now her mother is filled with fear and suspense that Lila is alive?” Cynthia thought to herself.Silence fell in the room for a while. Cynthia still couldn't get why her mother was panicking if Lila were truly alive. She's done nothing to her, right? After all, her death was a result of an accident!After a while of debating in her heart, trying to figure out the reason behind her mother's uneasiness but couldn't get any answer, Cynthia was forced to ask, “But wait, mother; how did you know and come to the conclusion that she's alive, and even if it happens to be like that, why the great panicking?” She demanded coldly, peering in

She couldn't stop blushing at the choice of seductive dress she chose.“Hey, hope you know that I'm going with you as well?” Brian asked as he stood behind her.“Oh my God! Brian, you almost startled me, you know,” she exclaimed, throwing her lipstick to the ground.Brian had left the other night for his house, and she can't remember discussing going along with him. But there he was at her back, fully dressed in his own captivating outfit already.“Brian, are you sure this is a good idea? I don't want Cynthia to feel bad. What if she only planned the dinner for one?” She asked calmly.Seeing the conflicting emotions outwardly displayed in her facial expression, Brian drew closer and held her from behind. “You know how much I don't trust those people, right? Believe me, that woman's mind can conceive a great d

His heart was already beating faster than an athlete in a relay race.“What are you trying to do, Grey?” She asked with a cheeky smile, staring at him flirtatiously.But instead of answering her question, he seemed to be too aroused at her actions.Swiftly, he held the finger, which was on his lips, and brought it down before kissing her knuckles. Grey lifted her hand and placed it on his chest, making he

Wu! Wu!!!” Lila exclaimed, sounds of clapping following each of her exclamations.“So, that's your plan, right? Even though I don't know what you're insinuating, what if I was truly allergic to those things? That means you invited me here to kill me, right?” Lila reprimanded angrily.“I'm really sorry, Miss Rick's. Please…” Grey was talking, but Cynthia shut him up immediately.“Cut the crap, Miss Rick's or whatever you call yourself!” Cynthia ranted, looking keenly at Lila's skin, especially her neck, expecting to see it filled with rashes as that's normally her first symptom of garlic and ginger allergy, but to the greatest surprise, Lila's neck was healthy and hearty without any scratches or a trace of rashe

Did he travel?” Ethan asked with an inquisitive look while having breakfast with his mother.Lila took a deep breath before giving a reluctant reply to the curious little boy.“He didn't travel, Ethan, just that he has been busy at work recently,” she answered with a twitch.“So, what about Mr. Grey? Did you love him? Or—is he?”“Come on, Ethan.” Lila interrupted.“You don't need to talk while eating. Please, observe some table manners.” She reprimanded him, scaring the little boy.A few minutes later, little Ethan couldn't hold his silence anymore when he heard the persistent knocking on the door while his mother had left for the kitchen.“Mother, I think Mr. Grey is at the door,” he said.With a broad smile as she opened the door, Lila's brows furrowed with a fading smile at the sight of the unexpected figure at the door.“What are you doing here, Brian?” She asked with a frown while blocking his

I don't mind if you make a suggestion for the hospital of your choice,” he said calmly. The only response she could give was an unexplainable gesture in silence as she stuttered.“Grey, I—I don't think…”“Please, just this favor, and I'll be off your neck with disturbance,” Grey interrupted as he figured her response was going in the negative direction.Before she could utter another word, he was gradually leaning in as his hand met her cheek, and a warm whisper of his breath crashed against her skin until their lips met in a passionate, tender, and fier

She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, leaving her with no choice but to get a good parking space and stop. Her eyes were suddenly turning fierce as she stepped out of the car and leaned on it. With a fixed and bitter look at Grey, she lowered her head and wrapped her hands around her chest. “Ghmmm…ghmmmm…” She cleared her throat. “If you don't mind, Mr. Grey, can you repeat exactly what you said while I was in the car?” She asked, peering her inquisitive eyes on him. “What phrase didn't you understand, Lila? I simply asked why Ethan was proven not to be my son, yet you gave birth to him just nine months after our divorce. So, tell me, are you a harlot or just some chronic cheat who …” Slap!!! “How dare you come to my house and accuse me of some nonsense infidelity, Grey?” She cut his statement short as her hands met his cheeks with a resounding slap. “So, yo

    CHAPTER 92 THE DNA TEST “Mr. Brian, do you know that man? And why did we even come to the hospital, by the way?” Little asked with an inquisitive look after they left the hospital.Without a second thought, Brian answered wittily. “Sure, he's a friend, and—I actually wanted to see a doctor friend of mine, but unfortunately, he seems not to be on duty today.” Brian explained, convincingly and confusingly, to the little boy at the same time. “But—I think I know that man somewhere. He has once been to our house,” Ethan added. “What? No way!” Brian answered with furrowed brows. His mind began to race that the boy might tell his mother about meeting with Grey at the hospital. “I know who you are talking about, but this one is entirely a different person. In fact, he just returned from overseas yesterday. Probably, I think it should just be a resemblance, okay?” Brian explained, and the boy nodded. “Remember, every individual in this life has a lookalike somewhere he or she does

Sitting in the dining room while sipping a cup of tea, he heard a knock on his door. “Come in,” he said without hesitation, believing that it could be Lila, because most times she does pass by the house before she proceeds to her office, which is just a few miles away. “Lila, I thought…” he paused when he heard a masculine voice greeting. “You, what are you doing here?” Brian said with an agitating frown. “Calm down, man. I'm only here for peace, so no need for the violent attack.” Grey, he said softly as he moved closer. “Well, you have a nice apartment.” He said as he rolled his eyes around the corners of the room. “I know that already. Can you just go straight to the point? I've got a lot of things to do .” Brian said rudely. “Alright. The thing is… I'm here for a favor, which I need so desperately from you.” Grey mentioned and paused to take a deep breath. “I… I saw Lila with a

Don't worry, I'll explain everything to you once I'm done,” Lila said casually as she tried to avoid the little boy's question with a convincing peck on his cheek, but Ethan's smartness won't let him fall for her trick easily.“Come on, Ethan, have you forgotten that you have some homework to do? Let's get it done before your tutor comes.” Aunt Kendy convinced him when she saw the boy's hesitation to leave.“Answer my question, Lila. Whose son is he?” Grey insisted as his countenance began to turn unfriendly.“I don't owe you any explanations for the paternity of my son, Mr. Greyshun. Besides, where are your two daughters?” Lila responded with a straight face.Her hesitation made Grey's stomach churn. “Could it be that she was pregnant before the divorce?” he mouthed to himself. “Fine, I'll let that be. So what about the burning down of the warehouse? The condemnation of Cynthia's dress at the party? The cajoling of m

Stop pretending as if you don't know what I'm talking about!” Grey retorted, his voice rising to a higher pitch at every word she uttered. “Look, Mr. Grey, I still don't know what you are talking about. Have you started going insane? How can you barge into my house and start asking me questions about the same woman you betrayed and sent to her early grave?” Aunt Kendy ranted, threatening to call the police on him if he didn't disappear from her door. Her words sent a chill down his spine. Instantly, a wave of guilt blew over him. Every day of his life since the departure of Lila, he had been secretly living with that guilt of being the root cause of her death. Even though he never loved her, Cynthia has been unable to fill that space that she left. “Oh, are you still stan

As soon as they approached the parking lot, Grey's phone began to ring.When he checked the caller ID, he wasted no time in picking it up.Mark's brows slightly furrowed in confusion. For the long time he had known Grey, he had never seen him pick a call from a strange number on that particular phone.“Hey, what's up?” He said that as soon as he picked up the call.“Were you able to trace her?” Her? he asked, his voice filled with curiosity.“Yes, boss.

Even though she had spent a lot to convince the shareholders to withdraw their shares, it is nothing compared to the accomplishment of her goal.Seeing Grey's face wrapped up with frustration was one thing that gave her the utmost joy.Without hesitation, she drew near the bedside table and grabbed her phone to place a call.“Hey, how's she doing? Is she still breathing?” She asked as soon as the person on the other end of the phone picked up.“Yes,
