Meet Me Halfway Lilian T James の小説・ストーリー

JJ shows Daniel into my mother’s sitting room. “Hi Mr Fields, please call me Lily.” I narrow my eyes at JJ who blushes. I should really take what I can get, at least Lillian is not, Miss Blackwood. I shake Daniel’s outreached hand. “I wouldn’t be comfortable with Lily; may I call you Miss Blackwood?” he asks politely “No, you may not” his eyebrows shoot up in surprise, “Okay. Lily.” I smile. “This is Lucas Craven.” “Mr Craven is fine.” I narrow my eyes and roll my eyes at Luke. Men! JJ starts to leave.

I’ll send you my address. James – Okay, that’s great. I’ll be there in just a short time. I rushed home like a storm. I needed all the time I could get to prepare. The excitement was bubbling over, I could barely keep still. Amelia wasn’t home yet, which didn’t surprise me. She usually worked late shifts and often came home after dark. Once I arrived, I jumped straight into the shower. James had told me he’d be there within thirty minutes, and I didn’t want to make him wait. He didn’t deserve to be kept waiting, not tonight.

She looked a little too skinny, but her face was quite attractive. “I was not expecting the award winner to grace my home,” James smiled warmly. “You even brought your sister along. To what do I owe this pleasure?” Adrian stood and shook James’ hand. James’ wife shook Lilian’s hand, but then she gave a hug to Adrian. James and Lilian were a little surprised. “Do you two know each other?” James asked. “When I was a model,” she said, “he was one of the interviewers of the panel when I passed and became a brand ambassador for their lipstick brand. I asked him out later, but he refused.”

‍“Oka‍y, he’s p‌erfectly​ terrible.” ​Meeti⁠ng James was surreal. He’s polite, sma‌rt, clear‍ly in l‍ove with A​mar⁠a‍. And watching him play with Lily breaks my hear⁠t⁠ i⁠n the best way. “He’s g‍oin⁠g to be a great‌ pediatric oncologist,” Amon observes. “If Amar​a doesn’t scar‍e‍ him off first.” “Our d‌aughter is delightful.”

James chuckled, not accustomed to being referred to as a billionaire. "Billionaire, huh? Well, my name is James. Just call me James," he said to Lily. "Mr. James, nice to meet you. I'm Lily, Maya's one and only friend in Florida. I'm sure you've heard a lot about me," she replied with a playful tone. Mr. James laughed, unable to break Lily's heart by saying no. "Yeah, I've heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you," he assured Lily. "You actually look dazzling in person. I thought the magazines were exaggerating your looks, but I guess they're not," Lily flirted with Mr. James.

To decided to break the tension by letting out a short laugh before changing the topic by making a lighthearted comment about James. "So, babe,” I said, stealing her term. “You wouldn’t believe it...about James.” I said, turning off the stove. “He walked into my trap much faster than I ever thought. He took me on a date today and even brought me back home.” Lilian’s eyes widened, a playful grin spreading across her face. “For real!” I chuckled. “Yeah, like it's so surreal when I think about it.” Lilian leaned closer, mockingly assessing my figure. “I can see why you didn’t need to stress so much with the seduction.”

"Nice to meet you, Madam Lilian." At the sight of Madam Lilian, Trevor, Hansen, and Jenna greeted her. Trevor was extremely flattered that Madam Lilian had dropped by to see Vivian. "Hello, all of you." Madam Lilian walked down steadily with Quina's support. With a mild smile, she greeted them and raised her head to glance around. With a sigh, she lamented, "A walk down memory lane. This feels so familiar."

Charlotte was engrossed in her dinner preparations when her phone rang, an unfamiliar number flashing on the screen. Her curiosity piqued, she stepped away from the gas stove and answered with furrowed brows. "Hello?" She responded, holding her phone to her ear. "Hello, Ms. Thompson. It's Lilian. I have something important to discuss with you. Can you meet me at St. Viane's or should I send a driver for you?" Lilian's voice echoed through the phone.

Jane could tell he was smiling even though she couldn't see him. "And I was wondering if we could have lunch together." "No can do, bro," Lilian interjected. "Jane and I have plans this afternoon, besides you have her to yourself throughout the night." "Lilian, stop," Jane chuckled and playfully slapped her arm. "I'm joking though, I just want to make him jealous," Lilian said and wiggled her brows. "I heard that," Caleb said over the phone. "Where do I meet you?" Jane asked him. "There's this restaurant called Seventh Heaven. You know it?"
