This street was full of bars.There were no streetlights or surveillance cameras in the alley over there.It was usually used to store random junk, and very few people passed by. Those who frequented this place knew that the alley was filled with couples seeking excitement.The taxi driver stopped and then shook his head before driving off.Young people had no morals.A black SUV followed behind the taxi.In the car, Galen saw Lily’s familiar figure from afar, surrounded by a few men.He subconsciously stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly.As soon as he arrived, he saw Lily smiling innocently and walking into the alley first.Galen suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped in front of the taxi. His fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly. His sharp eyes stared fixedly at the figure’s back in disbelief.Was this girl really as Demi had said? Was she that naive?This was just reckless!Did she even know what she was doing?In that instant, Galen felt an inexpli

Galen pursed his lips and looked straight ahead in silence.The street lights were dim and yellow. They fell into the car through the mottled shadows of the trees and landed on Galen’s sharp and cold outline, adding a hint of gentleness to his face.Lily’s big eyes sparkled. She leaned closer to him. “I’ve thought about it. Notus has recently gotten a divorce and is very busy. He might not have time to deal with me—”“Then, I’ll send you back to Kingsland Manor.” Galen cut her off coldly and warned, “Keep your distance.”Lily was unmoved. She leaned closer and said, “I’m maintaining a distance. If I go any further, I’ll be thrown out of the car.”Galen said nothing.He remembered how he had tossed Lily out of the car the last time when she had gone too far He had an inexplicable feeling that Lily was deliberately pushing his buttons.It was her way of exacting revenge.As expected, she even told him seriously, “But I didn’t shamelessly come into your car this time. You invite

Abel, who had come in to convey Charles’s concerns about Lily, calmly turned around and went to the walk-in closet to help her find some clothes.Ruth threw down her nightgown and asked Lily seriously, “Where are you now? What’s the situation? You can use your phone normally, so you shouldn’t be in danger—”“You’re awake. Get up and have breakfast.”A cold male voice on the other end of the line made Ruth pause.Not only was Ruth stunned, but Lily was also frozen on the bed.Her wide eyes looked at the man in disbelief.Two seconds later, she lifted her blanket and heaved a silent sigh of relief when she saw that she was still in the same clothes she was wearing the night before.Then, she asked unhappily, “Why are you here?”Galen said, “This is my home.”Lily’s mind went blank for two seconds before she subconsciously raised her voice. “Why am I at your house?”Galen was used to seeing her smiling cheekily and teasing others as if she did not have a care in the world.It w

Lily slowly smiled.She began to eat and asked casually, “Why didn’t you send me back to the Loveharts last night?”Galen did not look up. “No one in the Lovehart family would be willing to take care of a drunkard.”Lily’s smile faded.So, she did not enter the Lovehart villa at all.After a few seconds of silence, she asked again, “How did I get up here? Why don’t I remember anything?”Galen took a sip of water and did not mind her suggestive tone at all. He replied casually, “You were unconscious. I don’t expect you to remember anything.”“Is that so? Then how did I get upstairs?” Lily continued to ask with a smile.Galen was indifferent. “How else can you come up? I carried you up.”The smile on Lily’s face vanished.To think she wanted Galen to say he had carried her up gently like a princess…He was already being kind by not letting her spend the night in the parking lot…“Well, thank you.”“You’re welcome.”The dining table was quiet except for the sounds of food be

Galen said nothing.“Abel also knows! Do you think they’ll misunderstand our relationship?”The meal ended in silence.Although Galen looked expressionless, he actually had a headache.He knew Abel very well. He was extremely protective of his loved ones.He may not be particularly kind to Lily, but since Ruth saw her as a sister, so did he.If Abel thought that Galen had a weird relationship with Lily, who knew what would happen?After breakfast, he tactfully tried to chase her away. “Where are you going later? I’ll drive you there.”Lily was curled up on the sofa, looking like she did not intend to move.“Did you cash in the wedding favors you snatched on the day of Ruth’s wedding?” Galen suddenly thought of something.Lily could not help but sit up straight. “That’s right! I have a car and a house!”Galen raised his chin slightly and gestured to her. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to cash them in.”Lili wanted to tease him by staying in his house and seeing how he would react.
