Chapter 60 Helpless
"No." Ethan glanced at her coldly, "So you had better not try to 'reason' with me again." The mocking tone was emphasized in the last three words. After saying that, he walked towards the hall with a brisk pace.
"Don't go, don't go," Lilly insisted on stopping him again. Facing his stubborn silence, she had no choice but to ask, "What do you want in exchange for my consent?"
Seeing that they were about to reach the hall, Lilly could only try one last time.
"I owe you this once, okay?"
Ethan looked deep and cold, "Do you owe me less?"
Lilly was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this meant. When did she owe him?
But then she thought of the deal between her and him. Before the contract expired, he had already stabilized the director of Liney Group, and she just fulfilled her promise later.
From this point of view, she really owed him.
"That's a lot, it doesn't matter if I add this." Lilly simply begged shamelessly, "Let me owe you, let me owe you."
Ethan was distracted, as if he saw the shadow of the girl in the past, and blurted out, "... Lilly, do you have any shame?"
"No." Lilly also unconsciously followed the past pattern and quickly answered with two words. As soon as the voice fell, the two looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.
Kid watched from the side. Although he could not understand their conversation, he always felt that Lilly was the one being bullied. He had been trying to break free from his restraints and run to Lilly. Seeing that Ethan was motionless, he began to struggle again.
However, before he could escape Ethan's "claws", an old but still somewhat powerful voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Hey Kid, where have you been running to!"
The kid suddenly became like a wilted vegetable leaf. He stopped yelling and kicking and said obediently in a muffled voice, "Grandpa."
"Ethan, why are you holding my brother like this?" Jessica, who was following the old man, asked in confusion.
"He is tired," Lilly explained without caring whether Ethan agreed or not, "Ethan just carried him for a while and was about to put him down."
She quickly went up to pull his hand away and carried the kid back to the old man.
Seeing that Ethan was still silent, Lilly seized the opportunity to bring out the words she had thought of before, and roughly took the blame on herself.
"So, this is what happened. Sorry, it's all my fault. I forgot the time while taking him out to play. I'm really sorry, Mr. Liney, I've caused you trouble."
Until she finished explaining, Ethan didn't speak.
As Lilly You was talking, she kept glancing at him and paying attention to his reaction. Until now, she hadn't seen him trying to expose her lies, and the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
The old man didn't know whether he believed Lilly's statement, but just nodded, asked Jessica to take the kid back to the hall, and then invited them to go back for dinner.
The kid was led by Jessica, looking back at Lilly every few steps.
Whether it was Lilly who had just apologized for lying to him, or Lilly who smiled warmly at him and silently said "bye-bye" with her lips, they were all deeply engraved in his heart on this day.
The kid made up his mind and shouted with courage, "sweetheart! Wait until I grow up, I will marry you, protect you, and not let anyone bully you!"
The childish voice, still with a milky tone, fell loudly, and the four people, including the old man, froze together.
"Dick! Do you know what you are saying? How could you like this, this..." Jessica was shaking with anger and pointed at Lilly viciously, "What kind of nonsense did you give my brother?"
The old man coughed awkwardly and touched his grandson's head with his dry and desolate hands. "Don't talk nonsense, that's your uncle Ethan's girlfriend."
Kid thought about what he had said before, and then said, "It's just a girlfriend, not married, it doesn't count."
The old man shook his head helplessly, waved his hand to Jessica, and signaled her to take the person away.
"But..." Under the stern gaze of her grandfather, Jessica could only swallow back the words she wanted to blame Lilly, and angrily took him away.
"Children's jokes, Ethan, don't take it seriously." The old man looked at his unfriendly face, explained, and then cunningly escaped as soon as possible.
Ethan's eyes were fixed on Lilly, and his eyes were so sinister and cold that he seemed to want to torture her thousands of times.
When the kid fell, he found them in the garden. He didn't show up to interrupt them playing games because he hadn't seen Lilly relaxed and happy for a long time. At that moment, he couldn't bear it.
"Children's words are innocent." Lilly laughed dryly twice.
Ethan curled his lips coldly and said, "you are quite capable. In a short period of time, you were able to seduce even the kid."
Lilly rolled her eyes, "It's so ugly to say whether to seduce or not."
"Isn't it? Who is the one who hugs people like a hungry wolf, pinches and kisses them?"
"Have you ever seen a wolf hugging people, pinching and kissing them?" It's not over yet. Facing his unreasonable ridicule, Lilly simply stopped denying it. She blinked and said seriously, "If you insist on saying so, it was he who seduced me."
It's just that the kid is too cute. Chubby ones are really cute, Lilly added in her heart.
"What? You are really plans to be a child bride?" He looked at Lilly with deep eyes. In fact, he didn't really think she had this intention, but after this incident, he found that he missed the point that the kid said.
"It doesn't count if we're just girlfriends and not married."
He could only let Lilly be his girlfriend in name only. Maybe sooner or later, Lilly would become someone else's wife, and then he couldn't get close to her anymore.
"Ah, I'm really impressed by you. Why do you care so much about a child?" Lilly looked at his increasingly dark complexion, surprised by his seriousness, and was afraid that she might anger him if she played too much, so she had to change her words and said, "I don't have that kind of weird idea, don't worry."
"I'm not asshole, so I don't have a Lolita complex."
"Although I'm not an actor, my aunt also taught me the basic qualities of an actor. Since I'm acting with you, I will continue to act and won't cause any trouble."
Lilly explained a series of things sincerely, thinking that he would definitely give her a good face after listening to it, but he ignored her and walked into the hall with a cold face.
