Lillian's POVStanding in the line waiting to pass the security check, I turned on my phone. I was trying to find out how many calls I'd missed when I received a call from Rebecca.I swiped to answer, and the first thing I heard was her howl and wail. "Lillian! You finally turned on the phone. My hand is getting numb from calling you. I...""What's wrong? What happened?" I interrupted her wailing."It's that A-hole Ismail! What kind of a d*ckhead is he! He threatened to kill me if I didn't tell him where you were...""Did you tell him?"I heard a muffled and guilty "Uhm..." followed by "I'm sorry, I had to. I'm sorry..."My mind went blank. I quickly cut off the call and peeked at the queue. There were still two people in front of me. Everything would be fine as long as I passed the security check and got on the plane. I hoped that he would not catch up so soon.I closed my eyes and prayed in my heart. Then I turned around. Through the crowd, I saw him heading toward me, his chilly ey
Lillian's POVAs I sat in Ismail's car, I felt uncomfortable. No matter how I adjust myself, I still could not find a comfortable position.I stole a glance at Ismail and remembered the scene when he held me from behind and his lips on my neck. "Why did he do that? Why?"I unconsciously touched the part of my neck where he kissed. I took a deep breath. This man was getting more and more difficult to see through.As if sensing my discomfort, Ismail tilted his head to look at me. "What are you afraid of? Where did your courage to jump off the bridge go?""I..." I looked at his calm face and said, "I'm afraid that I would suffer more if I lived rather than died."The corners of Ismail's lips twitched. "If you insist on giving birth to this child, it will be worse than death."I smiled bitterly. This wasn't what I was afraid of.Before I could say anything more, we pulled up in front of the Amus family mansion. I unconsciously straightened my back and the expression on my face gradually b
Third person POV"Chloe is being bullied by Ismail." Hazel looked at the two of them, then laughed as well."Is that so? I wonder if you'll be as cute as Chloe if I bullied you?" Seth asked as he placed an arm around Hazel's shoulders. As he spoke, he leaned over to kiss her cheek.Hazel intentionally glared angrily at Seth. "I dare you! I'm not as easy to bully as Chloe.""I know." Seth led her towards his car. "Come on, I'll drop you off at the hospital. We'll eat out tonight.""Okay, I want hot pot.""Deal. We have to order the spicy soup."The two of them chatted and laughed as they got into the car. After waving their hands at Ismail and Lillian, they drove out of the Amus family.Ismail and Lillian watched as the car disappeared in the distance. He looked at Lillian and asked with his eyebrows raised, "What's wrong? You don't want to go?"Although Ismail agreed to let Lillian keep the baby, he could feel that she was deliberately avoiding him.He did not understand why she was d
Lillian's POV :Sofia stopped talking. She swept her eyes over the shocked expressions of Rebecca and I. She cleared her throat and sat back down on the sofa.Rebecca and I were indeed shocked by her last sentence. After a long while, Rebeca asked in a daze, "Sofia, I know you think this is unfair for Lillian, but... what do you mean when you said that if Ismail was a good man, you would have gotten married to him? Did you two..."She chuckled and carefully considered her words.Sofia glared at Rebecca grumpily. "All I'm going to say is that I know him better than you two."After another round of silence, I said, "I want to make one thing clear. I'm not giving birth to the baby for him, I'm doing it for myself."Sofia sneered and said, "I thought you would have gotten rid of the baby once you find out that you were pregnant. I did not expect you to be so stubborn and stupid."After that, she picked up the cup on the table and took a sip. Then, she slammed the cup back on the table and
Lillian's POV :I stared at the eight bags in front of me and there was a faint look of surprise on my face. That was a lot of new clothes... Did Ismail really bought them for me? What's wrong with him this day?This morning, he suddenly asked me to have dinner with him, but I refused. Now, out of the blue, he bought me a ton of new clothes. What was he up to?"It's not convenient for me to change, so please don't force me. You'll get to see it when I wear it in the future," I said absent-mindedly.Since I spoke, Hazel naturally did not force me to try on the clothes. She smiled and put the clothes back into the bag. "Alright, then. We won't bother you anymore."As they turned around to leave, Lena noticed that Ismail was walking in through the door. So, she tugged at the corner of Hazel's clothes. The two glanced at each other and then Hazel said sensibly, "Fine, then. Chloe, we won't disturb you anymore."After that, they left my bedroom together.I knew that Ismail was in the room,
Third person POV :After saying that, he walked to the bathroom at the door. The bathroom was soundproof. In fact, Ismail did not need to suppress his voice. He held the phone and said angrily, "Katrina! What the h*ll are you doing?"On the other end of the line, Katrina was as serious as ever. "I'm trying to help you make up with Luna.""It's not your responsibility." Ismail was unhappy.He did not hate eating with Lillian, but he did not like to use this method, which would make Lillian feel that he could not live without, so he had to spend all his efforts to please her."I'm the one who made her misunderstand our relationship. I'm responsible.""If she wants to misunderstand, then so be it." Ismail was a little irritated by her words. In fact, he could feel that Lillian was not simply estranged from him because of Katrina. She was not so stubborn and did not hold grudges against him."Alpha, I don't care about the rumours in the office about us, but I don't want it to affect our r
Lillian's POV :"Deal, you can help me carry this baby then.""It's a pity that I don't have this skill." After saying that, he wanted to kiss me again. I turned my face to avoid him and said, "You should go to bed early."With that, I turned and walked towards the door with the bowl in my hand.Ismail did not force to stay. After all, I was pregnant now. If I slept with him, he was afraid that he would be impulsive.That night, I had a dream.I dreamed that I was having hotpot with Ismail. Halfway through the meal, my grandmother suddenly appeared and slapped me in the face. She pointed at Ismail and cried, "He killed me! How do you still have the mood to eat and laugh with him? You are unfilial! Are you really that ignorant?"I was scared silly and stumbled backwards. My grandmother slowly walked towards me, gritting her teeth and threatening me. "If you continue to eat with our enemy, I will cut off my relationship with you!"I cried, grabbed the corner of my grandmother's clothes,
Lillian's POVThe two of us decided to go to the hot pot on the spur of the moment. After we came back, we went back to our own rooms. I did not tell anyone and Ismail would never tell anyone.Seth hurriedly said, "Oh, it's like this. Hazel and I were planning to go to the restaurant next to Young House. When we saw Ismail's car parked in front of the restaurant, we decided to change places. We did not want to disturb you two.""I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to get you into trouble." Hazel's face was still filled with regret.I smiled bleakly. I took a final look at Ismail and turned to walk out of the bedroom.When I arrived at the Amus family's prayer room, fear surged through my entire body before I even entered.The two servants guarding the door were especially wary of me after I broke into the prayer room alone last time. They looked at each other and asked cautiously, "Luna, didn't you faint from fright last time? What are you doing here again?"Both of them had a look of def
