63. Surprise
Miles away from Andrew's mansion, Barry Barlow stood at the front door of a typical respectable suburb house.
Usually, he never did a direct visit. But today was an exception because he was doing a personal favour for Andrew.A woman with a supermodel figure opened the door. She smiled at him like she was expecting his arrival.He recognized the woman, she was in the short video who said bullshit about Andrew harassing her, and didn't return her smile.The video was actually blurred, but Henry's incredible skill managed to make it clear. That was why he could recognize the woman at once.Though Max briefed him about the slander things, he was here for a different matter."Good afternoon." He started, handing a business card. "May I know if you live here?"Taking the card, she frowned at his question. As she learned that he was a lawyer from the card, her smile bloomed and stretched her hand. "I'm Carla. Yes, I live here.Related chapters

The funeral went smoothly. It was a simple and intimate ceremony. Though no one from Lila's circle attended, she still felt familiar with Andrew's circle. Like Henry and Evan who were always there for Andrew, not to mention Max who managed everything perfectly for Andrew.Even a celebrity designer like Maggie came to show her respect. She didn't know Dan when he was alive, but knowing that he was like a family member to Lila and Andrew was enough for her.Plus, Max had informed her that the boy was an unfortunate child, whose mother sold him in exchange for narcotics, and got shot when Lila was trying to rescue him.As someone who cared about the needy and regularly gave additional help in the Caring House, she understood the depression that Lila felt. So, she would show her support to Lila as much as possible."I'm so sorry." She said, hugging Lila. "I wish I knew him before. I'd surely make him a cute suit."Lila grimaced. Her eyes were

Lila dozed off once she settled in Andrew's car. A full dynamic and energetic day without a proper meal had drained her.She slept soundly alone in the back seat while Andrew was in the passenger seat next to Henry who drove the car.The sky was dark when her eyes fluttered open. Andrew's jacket slid down from her shoulder to her lap."Finally, the sleeping beauty's snoring stops." Henry's eyes sparkling in the rearview mirror."I'm sorry, Henry. I can't hear you clearly, all I heard is beauty." Lila yawned.Andrew chuckled. Which became regular since Lila officially joined their circle. And it also wasn't a surprise anymore for Henry."Here." Andrew handed a bottle of water.Then patiently, Andrew and Henry waited while Lila drank the water. Because her satisfied expression in every gulp as downing the bottle was a sight to see."Why are we still in the car?" Lila closed the bottle lid. "Why don't you guys wake

The soft morning sunrays infiltrated the curtains in Lila's bedroom.She woke up. Satisfied because of a very good night's sleep. To be precise, because of what she had heard before falling into a deep sleep with a wide smile.Andrew's scent was easily absorbed by her breathing system. Alerting the wires in her brain to be up. Right on time so that she could anticipate the lightning strike when his hand landed on her forehead while pretending to be asleep.She was right all along. Andrew did love her. It was just his nonsense guilt that forbade him to admit his love toward her.Now that she knew his feelings, her wicked side kicked in. She didn't want to make it easy for him to get her. Nope.Turns out, they occupied a three bedrooms' suite with a huge living room and a beautiful city view. She observed as she stepped out of her room, surely after freshening herself.Hearing Andrew and Henry engrossing in a discussion, she walked

Tea and some refreshment were wheeled into the suite's living room by the hotel manager.If the manager wondered why Lila curled on the armchair, hiding her face, he kept it to himself. Instead, after serving the tea, he showed a fancy box to Andrew. "Here's the glasses you asked for earlier, Mr. Mac Miller.""Thank you, Mr. Manager." Andrew took the fancy box. He gave the manager a cordial smile before the manager bowed and left.He turned to Lila who was pretending the show on tv required her focus and attention which he was sure she couldn't see the show clearly. He knew she was still embarrassed for mistaking him with someone else an hour ago when an accident happened in the famous city landmark's sidewalk.Amused, he bit his lip. Then clearing his throat to get Lila's eyes at him. "Put these on, so you can see your face turning red clearly."Taking the box from Andrew's hand, Lila glared at his amused face. Her embarrassment was gone

His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 69. Carla's new personality
"I don't have enough money to buy a drink there."Lila fixed a blank flat look at her cousin, Carla. Her eyes drilled into Carla's, searching for something to validate her doubt.Since Carla came to her lab when she was tidying her work, she didn't believe a thing from Carla's mouth.Well, there was one thing though. Carla suspected Andrew made her lose a few jobs, while she was a hundred percent sure Andrew was behind it. She knew it was an easy thing for Andrew.But it was almost impossible to believe when Carla said that she was sorry for everything she had done to her and wanted to fix their relationship.Losing jobs would never change someone with spiteful and hatred that rooted for thirteen years into a better person. The change perhaps to get the job back or revenge. That was what she thought about Carla's intention.Lila said nothing then walked inside the fancy cafe. She failed to find anything to validate her doubt. Not

"What is she doing here?" Andrew's smile dropped and his step halted upon seeing who was the one behind Lila. "Why is she with you?"His abrupt halt made Lila halt her step too. Behind Andrew, Lila saw Maggie was sitting on the long sofa and calmly put her drink onto the table.She was slightly irritated. Though she understood perfectly why he acted that way toward Carla, did he have to spark fire like that in front of Maggie?"I told you this isn't a good idea." Lila heard Carla's whisper.When they were in the hospital to get some stitches for Carla's wounded hand, Lila invited Carla to go with her to directly apologize to Andrew and Carla uttered the same thing.She knew Carla was worried then, and right this moment she sensed Carla was worried and scared at the same time.Andrew could be very scary when he was mad, she had witnessed it once. He coldly dumped Tony out of the country, because Tony did something inappropriate to
