Chapter 51 the Reality
James got a little annoyed after he received a call from his mother and was scolded by her. It sounded Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
like Shirley had arrived at the villa, and she would see Lillias as well. James decided to go home. He
didn't want anything bad to happen.
Right after he pushed open the door of the general manager's office and walked out, his secretary
happened to come to report.
"Hello, Mr. James. Are you leaving?" The Secretary saw James putting on his coat and was about to go
out.
Hearing that, James stopped, without looking at the secretary or saying a word.
Getting used to his stern look, the secretary spoke straight to James, "Mr. James, you have a meeting
with the marketing department this morning, and in the afternoon, several subsidiaries of the Ling
Group have to report work to the headquarters. What do you think? "
"Cancel it." James caressed his sleeves of the coat and walked out.
Not daring to interfere in his plan, the secretary returned to inform the other departments of Mr. James'
orders.
James called the driver. He was upset. He had to think hard about how to deal with his mother.
Although none of them could interfere with his own arrangement, it was still a trouble. Only when
everything was well handled could he feel relieved.
After thinking all the way, he drove to the villa.
James opened the door and brought some cold air in.
It was Lara who came to welcome James. Shirley and Lily sat on the sofa.
Looking at them, one of them pretended to be angry, while the other looked at them for help. Such a
strange combination made James look at Lara. As soon as Lara whispered a few words, he understood
what they meant.
The room was very warm. He took off his coat and walked over to sit on the sofa on the other side.
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing that, Shirley flew into a rage. "James! Why do you still ask me what's wrong! What
happened? " Seeing Lily, Shirley finally decided to ask directly, "who is this girl?"
"What do you think?" James adjusted his sitting posture to make himself more comfortable.
"In my opinion? If I could, I wouldn't have to ask you!" Shirley was so angry that the consequence
would be terrible.
Seeing that James didn't say a word, Lillias was too scared to breathe.
"Where is her mother?" Now that James seemed to acquiesce in her words, Shirley didn't think she
could do anything about it. The kids were old enough and they had to go back to the Ling family.
Whatever had happened had happened.
"She passed away." Lily answered in a low voice.
Shirley turned her eyes to Lily. Lily's mother had passed away. Although the girl was living with James,
Shirley knew how busy James was. He didn't have much time to keep her company. Poor girl.
Shirley had already accepted Lily, and when she heard that Lily's mother had passed away, it was
inevitable for her to be softhearted. Sighing silently, she turned to James and asked, "will your father
and I object? Why did you do that behind us! We didn't know it until the baby grew up. "
"Whether you know it or not would not affect my decision." James looked at Lily.
"You bastard!" Shirley knew that what James said was true.
Shirley seemed to have made everything clear to her. She planned to hurry up and tell Mr. Jonathan
that if he suddenly saw such a big granddaughter, he might be furious and she would go back and
persuade him.
With that, she took her purse and was about to leave. Seeing that Shirley was leaving, Lily stood up
and was about to send her off.
Her action immediately pleased Shirley. She seemed to be a good girl. Shirley had always liked her,
and now she liked her even more. After all, blood is thicker than water. She decided to go home to
discuss with Mr. Jonathan and make up for it.
Shirley took a look at Lily, she quickly walked out of the door and got in the car to go home. It was not
until she had been far away that she realized that she had forgotten something important! 'I came here
to tell James to go back home to celebrate the new year with his family! 'well, forget it. I will ask him to
take Lillias to spend the new year with us after I get in touch with Mr. Jonathan.
James was in a good mood as he sat on the couch. His mother misunderstood him, so he decided to
let it go. He didn't want to explain anymore. No matter what, no one had a reason to let him push Lillias
away.
After Shirley left, Lily kept on pondering over it for a long while. What did Shirley mean by giving her a
meaningful look at last? Did she like her? Or helpless? Guilty? Love?
'No, No. This is the first time I've met her, and from the conversation I heard with James, she didn't
even know I existed. What did it mean?
Lost in her thoughts, she slowly walked to the sofa and lay down, completely forgetting James. She lied
on the sofa in a comfortable position as usual.
Thinking of this, she turned over and saw a pair of smiling eyes.
What?
Ah!
Lily sat up as fast as she could, straightened her back, and tried to comfort herself. Then she shifted
the topic, "eh, don't you need to go to work?"
"No, I won't go."
"You didn't go to work for no reason."
"And then?"
"What?" Lily was stopped. She didn't know why.
Lara came over. It turned out that Shirley had asked Lara to cook the porridge. She had already filled
the bowl and put it on the table.
On this cold winter day, the porridge was steaming. White mist rose from it, and the scent of it filled the
air.
Lily was sitting at the table with James. Lily gently stirred the porridge in front of her with a spoon.
Watching the rising mist and feeling the temperature of the porridge passing away little by little, she
kept stirring the porridge, but did not eat at all. She was obviously thinking something.
"Let's eat." As a man who had read a woman's mind, James didn't intend to say anything more. Only
actions could calm people down. His simple words would seem weak and pale in front of actions.
Lily raised her head to look at James and found that he was looking at her. She quickly lowered her
head and ate the porridge. Fortunately, it was not hot in winter, or her mouth would be burned.
James sighed in the mind, thinking that he really raised a reckless daughter.
Lily ate the porridge in a fluster. After saying goodbye to James, she went back to her bedroom. She
didn't know why she just stayed in the room alone.
She wanted to give herself some space so that she could think it over. During this period of time, her
life was as beautiful as a beautiful dream. Today, Shirley seemed to bring her back to reality.
She had to think it over.
