Chapter 8 Frowned In His Arms
"Huh, you deliberately insulted me by saying I'm heavy again, right?" Lilly smiled and hooked his neck, seeming to be very dependent on the man in front of her. She rubbed him twice in his arms, and then let him go, "Have you already talked to my aunt?"
"Of course, when have I ever disappointed you with something I promised?" Karl hooked her nose and turned around to open the car door for her.
"I knew you were the best!" Lilly was immediately grateful, got in the car, fastened her seat belt, and suddenly thought of something, saying, "Karl, I also want to buy Dessert."
"I haven't had dinner yet, and you're thinking about desserts now?" Karl laughed and started the engine.
"Let's go," She deliberately pursed her lips and put on a sad expression, "I'm too sad today, I want desserts to comfort my injured young heart!"
Karl rubbed her hair lovingly, "Okay, don't pretend, I'll take you there."
Lilly immediately made a scissors hand gesture and shouted. Only by shifting her attention to her favorite dessert could she stop herself from thinking about Ethan. After fastening her seat belt, Karl stepped on the accelerator, turned the car around, and drove.
The black Mustang roared on the road and passed by someone's silver BMW. Ethan's fingers tightened around the steering wheel, veins popping out. He turned his head stiffly, his face covered with dark clouds.
Suddenly, he turned the steering wheel hard, turned the car around, stepped on the gas, and drove at the highest speed limit in the city, quickly catching up with the Mustang.
On the road, Ethan seemed to have a grudge against the steering wheel in his hand. He clenched his hands tightly, and the steering wheel made a sound of violent friction between his palms and leather as if he were about to break it.
His eyes were cold and angry, staring at the Mustang moving slowly in front of him as if he only had that girl in his mind at the moment, and he ignored the phone that kept ringing in his pocket.
At this time, Quinn Dessert was very crowded, but because Karl knew the owner of the store, she went through the back door smoothly and carried two bags of her favorite mango pancakes and glutinous rice cakes back to the car.
After getting in the car, she saw a BMW passing by, and she couldn't help but think of Ethan, who had just confronted her in the parking lot.
\--Don't think about it, he said he hated you, he didn't want to see you at all.
Lilly suddenly felt a bitter taste in her mouth and hurriedly opened the dessert bag, stuffed a mango pancake into her mouth, and then annihilated the glimmer of hope that she secretly ignited in her heart because of Ethan with the soft and fragrant dessert in her mouth.
Ethan slammed on the brakes hard. The green light was still a few seconds away. He could have rushed over in time, but he stopped in front of the white line without thinking, waiting for the red light to come on.
He looked straight at the Mustang that was slowly following him in the rearview mirror, exuding a low and terrifying pressure, and his sinister eyes revealed severe pain. The pair of lovers in the mirror was like an inescapable thorn that pierced his heart hard.
The man was driving the car, and his hands were inconvenient, so the girl picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake from the dessert bag and handed it to his mouth.
"Lilly..." Ethan immediately let out a low roar like a trapped beast, "Lilly! How dare you--"
His mind was buzzing, all of which were the scenes of the girl racking her brains to pull him into the dessert shop at that time.
In the past, she would wink at him mischievously, without hiding her love for him, pass the dessert to his mouth, and shamelessly talk nonsense about "desserts are only sweet when eaten with the one you love.
He knew that if he followed, he would only watch the girl who should have belonged to him being affectionate with other men, but he still couldn't help but follow. Knowing the pain, he would rather endure the pain than let the girl who had been lost for a whole year leave his sight again.
His chest rose and fell violently, and he wanted to get out of the car right now, pull Lilly out of the Mustang, press her into his arms, and tell her that if she wanted to fall in love with someone else, she couldn't even think about it!
But he could only look at the happy picture in the rearview mirror over and over again until his anger turned into bottomless despair, a self-deprecating smile climbed up the corners of his lips, and finally, there was only numbness and coldness in his eyes.
"Honey?" Karl drove into the Lakeland Villa District. He didn't hear the girl's noisy voice beside him. It was a bit strange. He turned around and saw Lilly's head leaning against the car window, sleeping soundly.
Along the way, she told her what happened that day. Because she was afraid that she would accidentally miss Ethan, whom she was waiting for, if she left, this silly girl stood outside Wanying Building in the sun for most of the day. Later, she didn't eat anything. Now, she must be exhausted.
Karl slowed down the car, parked the car as gently as possible, unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door, walked to the passenger seat, and carried her out.
Lilly frowned in his arms, mumbling in her sleep: "Ethan... listen to me... Ethan... why do you hate me... don't hate me... what did I do wrong..."
Karl's eyes dimmed, and he gently tightened his arms. After she was taken away by her mother when she was seven years old, he had not been in contact with her until she was found by Chairman Thomson a year ago.
