Lily nearly choked. "Don't say things like that or I really will get upset!"

Margaret clamped her own lips shut instantly.

After dinner, Nadia arrived.

She pulled Lily aside toward the bedroom without preamble.

"What's wrong?"

"Tell me straight what did you ask me to look into? The reviewer at the Culture and Tourism Bureau?"

  • After 666 Betrayals, I Chose His Billionaire Rival   Chapter 123: Dead Men Tell No Tales

    Beatrice stood frozen.Staring blankly at Nathan, unable to force out so much as a single word.He guided her, gently, over to where his father stood.His father barely glanced at her.Something seemed to seize in Beatrice's throat.She looked at him.At the faint red marks still visible at his collar, at how he'd clearly just rolled out of someone else's bed to be here. She forced the words out, halting. "Edmund Edmund was... Nathan did this"She didn't get to finish.Her husband cut her off sharply. "Watch what you're saying."The words landed like a slap across her face.Beatrice stood there, stunned into silence.Her fingers twisted into the hem of her coat, her eyes fixed back on the closed operating room doors.Her only lifeline now.Nothing but the sterile chill of the hospital hallway around her.The operating room doors swung open.Beatrice shot to her feet.A nurse rushed out, papers in hand. "Family of the patient?"Beatrice stumbled forward. "Me I'm his mother"The nurse h

    Lily's eyes flickered, uneasy.Adrian's gaze cut sharply to Edmund's hand on her arm.He crossed the distance, one hand still in his pocket.Walked straight past themRight between the two of them.His shoulder caught Edmund's arm on the way through.Edmund pulled his arm back fast.Adrian disappeared into the men's room, expression unchanged.Lily gave Edmund a quick nod and slipped into the women's room right after.Edmund watched her go, a faint smile settling on his face, and stayed exactly where he was.When Lily came out to wash her hands at the shared sink, Adrian was already there, standing tall and composed in front of the mirror.She steeled herself and walked over."Mr. Sterling."She held her hand under the sensor tap.Water ran over her fingers.Adrian watched her reflection quietly. "Do you need help with something?"She realized he meant Edmund."He said he wanted to apologize to me, for his brother, on behalf of the family," she explained. "I told him it wasn't necessa

    Robin stared, startled, at the man's profile. "Is that Adrian?"Lily pressed her lips together.Nodded.She hadn't expected to run into him here, of all places.A young woman stood beside him.Striking, composed, dressed head to toe in designer labels that somehow didn't look like she was trying too hard like the clothes had been made specifically to match her.Lily lowered her eyes.Just thenAdrian turned, looking faintly bored.Then caught sight of Lily standing behind Robin.His brow lifted slightly.He started walking straight toward them.Robin grabbed Lily's arm. "He's coming over."Lily's eyes flickered, uneasy.She looked up sharply.Watched, helpless, as he closed the distance.The woman beside him trailed after, curious.Lily grabbed Robin's arm and tried to steer them both awayAdrian's voice cut through, low and even. "Lily."Her feet locked in place.Her legs went heavy, leaden.Couldn't move an inch.A moment laterHe was standing right in front of them.Robin gave a sm

    Lily smiled, gentle and unmoved.Robin squeezed her hand harder. "Just try it. I don't see the harm! At least you'd get to experience actually dating someone. Speaking of would you even say you've ever been in a real relationship?""Of course I have," Lily said automatically.Robin held her gaze. "Think about that again."Lily: "..."Robin's voice slowed, deliberate. "What's the actual difference between what you had with Nathan and what you had with Mr. Calloway?""You grew up, got a little more sensible, and for five million dollars you married him and spent your early twenties playing devoted wife. After he passed, you kept raising Milo on your own. Then Nathan spent six months wearing you down until you agreed to marry him straight into a wedding, no courtship at all.""And the marriage itself was basically two strangers playing house like an old married couple of twenty years. The only real highlight, I guess, was the six hundred-some gifts he gave you..."Six hundred-some gifts.

    It was almost as if, had Adrian simply said yes, Milo would have bolted straight out the door to find Lily himself.At thatWinston's expression soured instantly.What exactly was so special about that girl?Whatever she'd given Milo couldn't hold a candle to everything the Sterling name had already provided him.One by one, everyone around him seemed to have been won over by that girl's little kindnesses.Winston's temper flared.And it landed squarely on Adrian.The two of them, sneaking off together last night did they really think he hadn't noticed?He'd simply chosen to let it go. For now.He coughed, pointed.Mrs. Dalton jumped in quickly, smiling. "Milo, once your uncle's married, you'll have one more person to dote on you. Who wouldn't want that?"Milo made a small, noncommittal sound.Clearly unconvinced.Adrian patted his head gently. "He already has more than enough people who love him."Jennifer's lips pressed together.Winston said flatly, "Take Jennifer for a walk."Adri

    ...warmth, slow and certain.Adrian brushed his thumb gently over her kiss-swollen mouth, tracing lightly.Something sharp and wanting lingered behind his lowered eyes.He knew.This was as far as it could go tonight.He was reluctant to let her go.Just as he started to pull backLily rose up on her toes without warning.Pressed her lips to his.He went still, caught off guard.Then, in an instantOne broad hand settled at the small of her back, the other cradling the back of her head, firm.And the kiss that followed was deeper than the first.Night stretched on around them.Fireworks bloomed across the sky, endless.Chapter 118: Uncle, Are You Getting Married?The Pierce family estate.Beatrice came to Edmund's room. "How are you settling in?"He smiled. "It's only been a few years. This house hasn't changed a bit. Why are you still up, Mom?"Beatrice rubbed her eyes. "My eye's been twitching all week. I keep thinking it's a bad sign."Edmund stood.Came around behind her.Worked g
