Chapter 31 Do You Want To Know?
,But Zyan also vaguely noticed that her adoptive father, who had been taking care of her, had different feelings for this Lilly who suddenly appeared. From then on, Zyan was worried that one day Lilly would snatch her adoptive father away.
Because her adoptive father, Ethan White, was as perfect as a god to her, and he was also the man she had always admired. Even Lilly couldn't snatch him away from her!
Ziyan suddenly rolled her eyes and said, "Lilly, you don't know that when you disappeared, Dad Ethan--"
With a clang, Ethan's bowl fell heavily on the dining table.
Lilly and Ziyan were startled at the same time. Lilly was completely confused and didn't understand what was going on. What's wrong? It's just a word. Why did he break the bowl?
Ziyan became panicked. Lilly's departure had always been a taboo topic that could not be mentioned in front of Ethan. She saw his transformation with her own eyes and deeply understood how much he hated this matter and how disappointed he was with Lilly.
She just wanted to bring it up now to ignite his anger. He was very scary when he was furious, which could make Lilly give up and stop her unrealistic fantasy.
But now his fierce action of knocking the bowl, and the cold eyes full of murderous intent that followed, all made her feel scared.
"Um... did anything happen when I left?" Lilly was confused when she heard Ziyan say this. Although she knew that it would not be good to continue asking questions in the current tense atmosphere, she still couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
After asking this question, his face suddenly became even colder and more terrifying. His voice seemed to suppress some raging waves. He turned to Lilly and said word by word: "Do you want to know?"
"Yes, I want..." Lilly was frozen by his colder eyes before she finished speaking. She shivered and changed her words hesitantly, "I... don't want to know?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ethan's deep and cold eyes became even more sinister. Suddenly, all was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.
What does this mean?
Lilly wanted to cry but had no tears. She said she wanted to know but she gave her a cold face. She said she didn't want to know, so why did she give her a colder face! How else did he want her to answer?
Ethan's eyes flickered uncertainly. No matter how the girl in front of him answered, he would think of that dark life. Losing Lilly was enough to collapse his world. It was an indisputable fact. But now Lilly is no longer like when she was in Provence.
She would chase and pester him to get to the bottom of everything related to him. Her last sentence proved that she didn't care about his affairs now. Ethan, who realized this, suddenly felt bitterness filling his heart, so bitter that he could hardly breathe.
"What position do you use to ask?" He finally threw out a sentence indifferently.
"Ah...?" Lilly was very puzzled. Why did you need a position to ask a question? She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but then she heard Ethan continue, "What gutts do you have to ask about my affairs?"
Why did this sound more and more like a mockery of her? What did she do? Why did he inexplicably vent his anger on her?
She was unwilling to accept it and was about to refute it, but he stared at her and heard him throw a sharp sentence, "Lilly, who do you think you are?"
Lilly was speechless and then lowered her eyes to cover the gloom and sadness in her eyes. Although painful, she had to admit that he was right and she had no right to ask.
In the past, when her confession was rejected, she could at least guard him and manage him as a friend. Now, she is almost his enemy. Even if she is not an enemy, she is just a stranger who has a business relationship with him.
She really... has no reason to ask about his affairs.
Lunch slowly ended with his terrifying cold momentum and Lilly's sad silence.
Usually, he would lock himself in the study on the second floor and bury himself in work after lunch, but today, for the first time, he leaned on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and switched to the financial channel.
Usually, after lunch, Lilly would lie on the sofa and take a nap for a while, she would easily fall asleep when she went back to the club to practice singing at night.
She had just recovered from her illness, and the series of things that happened from this morning to just now made her feel more tired than ever before. She was looking forward to having a good sleep after lunch, but now that Ethan sat there, her beautiful nap was ruined.
Lilly was puzzled. Why watch the financial channel in the middle of the day? You can go back to the study to watch it!
While she was complaining, she saw Ziyan also sitting on the sofa and began to chatter with Ethan about what happened in the crew today.
Lilly's head suddenly buzzed, and she suddenly realized that all this was because Ziyan had come back today.
Before Ziyan came back, Ethan just treated her as air, unlike today, when he mocked her everywhere. After careful analysis of what he said, it was basically to draw a line between them.
It seems that he is really afraid that Ziyan will misunderstand.
Just like that night at the hospital, he warned her in a roundabout way not to have any more fantasies about him.
The harmonious picture of the two people sitting on the sofa in front of her, one talking and the other listening, was like dense needles piercing Lilly's heart, clearly revealing one thing: she is a complete outsider here.
Lilly clenched her fist, facing Ethan's back, and angrily said to herself, she didn't have any fantasies about him, no!
She just kept her old habits. As long as she was given some more time, she would slowly change them, and she would definitely be able to quit those habits that were labeled with Ethan.
Lilly made up her mind, took a deep breath, and started from the first step - stop thinking about him. She suddenly thought of the phone call that Karl made to her in the morning.
The landline in the living room was placed on the right side of Ethan. Ethan's right leg was folded on his left leg, his right elbow was on the armrest of the sofa, the back of his hand was against his chin, his eyes were fixed on the TV screen, and he was listening to Ziyan talking.
Lilly looked at the landline, and when she thought of asking him to borrow a mobile phone in the morning, he was stingy and refused to borrow it, so she immediately shook her head.
