SORRY MR. CROWNELL YOU'RE TOO LATE Chapter 18
Lily“Pregnant?” Chaise appeared by the door and my breath hitched. So much for trying to keep this a secret. I was already exposed before I even had the chance to defend myself. Chaise’s eyes rested critically on me and I gulped. They landed on my stomach and I fought the urge to wrap my hand protectively around my stomach. Is he going to stake claims on the child already? Will I be forced to stay here?“Don’t be ridiculous, grandma. There’s no way Lily could be pregnant,” he said before I could even utter a word. “We haven’t been intimate since we got married. It's probably something she ate.”My lips parted in disbelief. We haven't been intimate since we got married? Did he already forget what happened the night he came home drunk or did that simply not count for him?I didn’t know whether to feel irritated or relieved. To make it worse, he looked at me like he was expecting me to back up his claim. “Is that true?” Grandma asked softly, drawing my attention. “Yes,” I lied with a

Lily“Grandma, I know that you are upset but please forgive Lily. I don’t want to pursue the matter any further for Chaise’s sake,” Rachelle said meekly, attempting to come over to Grandma Crownell’s side but the woman flung the documents at her.Rachelle staggered back in shock. The document hit her hand and dropped to the floor.“And who said I am upset with Lily?” She shot back, surprising all three of us. Happy tears brimmed in my eyes. She was supporting me even without asking for explanations. Something my so-called husband couldn’t do for me. “So what if she copied your so called research? If she didn't have the proper skills to execute it, things would have gone south but here I am, standing strong and healthy. Isn't that enough proof that my daughter-in-law is brilliant?” Grandma huffed. Rachelle's jaw dropped. She opened her mouth countless times to speak but the words wouldn’t come out, She was speechless. “And you…” she faced Chaise with a disappointed look. “Which pres

Lily“What does that mean?” Grandma was the first to react. I stood beside her, too bewildered to speak. Everyone knew it was my herbal recipe that improved Grandma's health when modern medicine was failing. How did it suddenly become Rachelle?“I told you to let it be, Chaise. There's no need to bring it up. I’m very fine with Lily taking all the credit,” Rachelle pretended to whisper, while making sure every single person in the room could hear it. “No!” Chaise said stubbornly, shooting me a disappointed look. “It's not right everyone paints you as the villain when all you've done is help my family in the best way you can.”I was too stunned to speak. What are they even talking about?Chaise moved straight to his explanation. “Grandma, you’re right to believe that Lily treated you. I believed that too, until Rachelle showed me proof that Lily merely stole her work.”I stole her work?Grandma simply stared at him. “Let me guess, that’s another lie she told you?”“It is not a lie, g

LilyChaise looked like he’d been slapped across the face. He moved Rachelle out of the way and stepped towards me with a look I couldn't quite decipher. My stomach curled tightly but I willed myself not to move.“What did you just say?” His voice was low and murderous. I stared back at him with the same fire, irritated that he was acting like this was all new to him. Didn't he send me the divorce papers himself? Or was he expecting me to refuse signing it and beg?“You heard me, Chaise. Rachelle is pure and harmless. She's better than me in every way and the only woman worthy of you. I've kept you away from each other for so long, so I've decided to let true love have its course,” I shrugged.He grabbed my arm, anger flashing in those beautiful blue eyes, “Do you even know what you’re saying? It’s been three years, Lily. Three whole years and now you want to throw that all away?”My heart ached from hearing him say those words. Hearing him say something like this, you’d think he cher

LilyMy ears perked up on hearing that and I slowly moved my head from the glass to look at him. His eyes locked with mine. Did he really apologise to me? Or was I so desperate for an apology that I started imagining things?“What?” My question was overshadowed by the horn beside us. Chaise sighed.“Let’s talk when we get home,” he told me. I nodded and turned back to the window. My chest felt heavy. There was nothing more to talk about, except him signing the papers. The further I get away from him, the better things would be. Five minutes later, we arrived at the mansion that used to be my home. It felt different now. Like one of those random buildings you see everyday. I never thought one day I would feel so detached from this place. I was lost in thoughts for a second and didn’t notice that Chaise hadn't walked in. He was just standing by the side of the car, watching me. “If you miss it so much why run off?” He finally said, drawing my attention. He took my hand before I cou

Lily“What papers?” He asked and I shot him a glare. “The di…”“Sir, ma’am, if you may,” a man in a security uniform suddenly interrupted. Our faces turned to him and he gave a polite bow. “You’re in front of the cafe. Our customers might think you’re causing trouble.”“Sorry about that,” Chaise apologized sincerely. “My wife is having a moodswing. We'll be on our way.”I offered the man a sugary smile even though I badly wanted to punch this asshole in the face. He pulled me along with him.“Hey! Where are you taking me? What about grandma?” I questioned as we reached the Mercedes. The guards will bring her back!” he answered, shoving me inside the car. “The doors locked immediately and I cursed him aloud. Why was he doing this to me? He never wanted me in his space and now I was doing just that, he was forcing me?He opened the door and got in the driver’s seat. “Hey! Let me out! I have an important meeting with someone!” I hit him repeatedly in the arm but he paid no attention t
