Chapter 9 I Don't Love You Anymore
Lilly has been depressed since she came back from France. He used many methods to improve her mood and return her to her cheerful and lively childhood. He has not heard the name "Ethan" from her.
Although there were only a few words, he vaguely felt that this person was the key to her transformation.
Later, when Thomson's corporate crisis broke out, he learned from her aunt that Ethan was an associate professor of music at Lilly's University, and the relationship between the two was not a simple teacher-student relationship.
But no matter what, since she is back, he will stay by her side and will not let anyone have the chance to hurt her!
Ethan's BMW followed Carl's Mustang and stopped next to a small villa, watching Carl get out of the car and carry her into the villa. The cheapest villa here costs several million.
Ethan's eyes were as cold as ice, and his sight moved to the villa's second floor. The lights were bright inside. From his angle, he could see Carl holding the girl and walking into the room. After a while, he walked out and turned into the kitchen.
This man was going to cook for her.
Ethan suddenly turned over his right palm and looked down at the right side of his thumb, where there was a small scar, which looked unusually abrupt in his slender hand.
\--Cook a good meal for her.
This was once his wish. After he found out that the girl was a foodie who ate wherever she went, he, who always believed that "a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen," made up his mind to practice cooking secretly. That's why he accidentally cut his finger during practice.
He regarded this as a memorial to fulfill her dream of being a foodie, so even if he could use plastic surgery to remove the scar, he never did.
He wanted to wait until that day, the day when he could be with her officially, he would hold this little foodie's stomach firmly and let her never leave him again.
But he didn't expect that there was only one step left, only one step left...
The girl who once said that she only loved him disappeared in the blink of an eye. Now, when they meet again, she is still charming, but she is no longer in his arms. But he still trapped himself in a prison for the woman who trampled on his sincerity, unable to free himself.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes tiredly. He leaned against the car seat, and his suffocating and irritable breath gradually calmed down. He seemed to be tortured and fell into a deep sleep.
He started working as soon as he got off the plane and later met Lilly. He didn't even have time to adjust to the jet lag. At this moment, he was extremely exhausted physically and mentally. He slept, but his sleep was not stable, and he dreamed in a daze.
In the dream, Lilly, who always looked naughty and frivolous, looked at him indifferently, turned around, took the hand of the blond man, and said contemptuously, "Ethan, who do you think you are? You can't give me what I want, so I didn't love you a long time ago."
"No," in the dream, he hurried to her, grabbed her wrist, and called out the name he had never called before, but called countless times in his heart, "You, I am different from before, I have the ability now..."
Hearing this, she tilted her head and asked in confusion, "What do you have? What can you give me?"
He was happy in his heart, thinking that she was willing to give her another chance, and hurriedly grabbed her shoulders. His always cold voice revealed a slight excitement, and he said proudly, "What do you want? I can give you. You, you tell me, do you want a car or a house? I will give you all my wealth, okay? "
"Who are you kidding?" she sneered, "You are just a small associate professor, with that meager salary, and you have to support your friend's orphan. How can your wealth be good enough?"
His eyes were cold, and the hand holding her shoulder began to tremble, "You were not like this before, Lilly, you are not such a person..."
Lilly shook off his hand, took a step back, and hugged the blond man's arm, "Ethan, wake up, I just thought you were handsome before, and wanted to chase you for fun. I will not spend my whole life with a poor man like you!"
"Lilly!" his eyes were about to burst, and his anger almost distorted his handsome face.
"My grandmother is the chairman of Thomson's Enterprise, and he..." she hugged the blond man beside her, smiling sweetly, "He and I are a perfect match."
"Shut up!"
He shouted angrily and woke up from his dream. His head was covered with sweat. He took out two pieces of paper from the tissue box next to him, wiped them casually, and answered the phone in his pocket that had been ringing for an unknown time.
It was Ziyan who called and roughly talked about the situation of reporting to the crew on the first day. He listened absent-mindedly, and his eyes were all attracted by a pair of figures on the second floor. He slept for a while, and when he woke up, Lilly had even finished dinner.
Lilly, who stayed in the living room for a while, seemed to feel sleepy again and turned and walked into the bedroom.
"Ethan..." Ziyan asked cautiously, "How did you talk with Lilly later?"
When he heard this, an idea suddenly came to his mind. He hung up the phone without answering Ziyan, then opened his mailbox and found all the information about Thomson's that had been sent to him today.
Finally, he found a string of mobile phone numbers and saved them in the phone book.
