GoodReadChapter 78 Chapter 78 Nadia was quite well-known in the design industry, and she felt that even if someone who was more famous than her visited Glenview Villa, they would also be sure to like the decor too. Lily didn't say anything.
She was thinking about how it would be a good idea to keep the divorce agreement with her at all times.
That way, she wouldn't need to go out of her way to see Xavier just so that he could sign it.
Lily got out of the car when they reached the city center. By that time, it was almost 8:00 pm.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe took a cab back to Bayview Gardens. When she got home, it was already 8:30 pm. She ran toward her building and finally reached home.
Maryanne was waiting at the door to greet her, looking as if she'd been anticipating Lily's return for a long time. Lily was startled, but she burst into laughter. The suffocating feeling in her heart lightened at once.
"If you'd gotten back any later than this, the food would have gotten cold! More importantly, you would have starved your only friend!" When Maryanne saw her laughing, she put on a stern look. "You're not allowed to work so late anymore! You've got to keepcompany more!" Lily changed out of her shoes and put her bag down. She took her coat off as she walked in and said, "Alright, I've got my day off tomorrow as it's Saturday. I'll stay with you all day." "That's more like it. Let's eat!" Maryanne took her arm as they walked into the dining room.
Prior to that, Maryanne had been looking out the window, waiting for Lily to arrive. As soon as she'd seen Lily outside, she'd told Terence to warm the food up. Half the dishes were done. Lily hurried forward to take the pot that Terence was holding. "Letdo it, Terence." "You've been working hard all day. Go and rest. I'm almost done." Terence didn't let go.
Lily's fingertips touched his, and she drew her hand back silently. "Didn't you both also have a hard day? If you do this, I'll feel bad." Maryanne sat down at the dining table. She'd already started eating, and she spoke indistinctly with food in her mouth. "Just treatequally well when I get divorced!" Terence frowned and turned back to scold her. "Don't talk nonsense!" "Go into everything with open eyes so that you won't meet a bad person like I did." Lily knew that Maryanne wasn't trying to upset her on purpose with the mention of divorce. Maryanne stuck out her tongue and continued eating.
After a while, the dishes were all warmed up. By the tLily and Terence sat down to eat, Maryanne was almost finished.
"Did work go well?" Maryanne asked Lily the sthing almost everyday.
Lily nodded and said, "It went well. Don't worry. My colleagues are all pretty nice." Terence put sfood on Maryanne's plate, but she refused it, so he put it on Lily's plate instead.
"You've never worked a nine-to-five job before. You need stto get accustomed to this kind of life. Eat more to replenish your energy." He'd given her the grilled prawns, which had once been Lily's favorite. Xavier did not like prawns. He didn't even like the smell of them. So, she hadn't eaten prawns for a long time.
"I don't feel like I need to get accustomed to anything in particular. I absorb things very fast when it comes to design." She'd taken care of Xavier for two years and managed all his affairs for him, so it wasn't as if she'd been resting. She'd been at work for a week, and she felt that it was alright.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTerence smiled slightly and didn't say anything else. He just listened to Lily and Maryanne talk to each other.
By the tthey had finished eating, it was already 10:30 pm Since Lily :30pm didn't need to go to work tomorrow, Maryanne decided to stay the night.
Terence left on his own. He'd just walked out of Bayview Gardens When he saw the Maybach parked by the side of the road. The engine was off, and the interior of the car was dark, with all the windows closed tightly.
However, Terence knew that Xavier was inside. He was hesitating about whether or not to go over when the door opened. Xavier's long dean legs stretched out and his gleaming leather shoes trod firmly on the ground. He leaned an arm against the car door, looking casual. "What a coincidence. You're just passing through again, I see." "I'm not passing through this time. I cto see Lily," Terence said honestly. Enjoy Ad-Free Reading>>
