In those few days, Lillian spent her time mostly sleeping and reflecting on her memory of her college and love life. That was the best times and memories she had.
Marcus had shown no different in his expression. For the whole days, he appeared busy with works. The servants at the house were all buried in their works. They didn't even dare to talk to her except for Mother Huang. Maybe, its because of the child she's carrying, Huang's bloodline and next generation.
Then, a familiar voice abruptly resounded in the living room. Lillian looked up from a where she's sitting towards the direction of the voice. She could see a man dressed in an expensive and luxurious suit. He was charming, aloof and... classy. She had to admit, Marcus Huang, her womb's father did in fact captivate her.
Marcus stood a few steps away from her and frowned. He was unhappy seeing her nowadays, not like the old times when he showered her with love and gifts when was courting her.
Inside their bedroom, Lillian couldn't help but examine the man sitting on their bed. After much hesitating, she couldn't help but ask. "Marcus.., do you still love me? Are you sure you want to keep this relationship on? Are you planning to marry me?" Seeing that Marcus wasn't replying, Lillian hesitated for a moment and continued, "What's your future planning and intentions?" Lillian paused.
"I know I have deliberately interfered your relationship with Ruby but its you who persued me after my confession. You can ignored me back then but you didn't. Don't forget, she have moved on and getting married to Lucas soon. With such a good man being by Ruby side, do you confidence to win her back? Will Lucas allowed that? His influence and possessiveness on Ruby is too great."
Probably because she had kept it in for so long, the built-up negative feelings from her heart exploded at that moment. In a single moment, the atmosphere became somewhat stagnant.
Marcus listened and his gaze slowly turned icy and shot a razor-sharp look forward at her. "You think too much. You're caring my child, the Huang's bloodline. You and the child are my responsibilities. Do you think that this relationship between us could be ended so lightly?"
After sitting in silence for some time, she stared at the man in front of her seriously, enunciating each of his words carefully. So she understands now, him with her, was purely for her child.
Her greatest goal was to be with Marcus, to grow old and have many children with him. But she knew very well how distant that man becomes and low the possibility of being with him. What about their love they have gone through before. He started regretting on their relationships now. Lillian didn't want to act silly and sit around to wait for the day he abondoned her. She need to act before him.
Lillian tears couldn't stop flowing after thinking about it, and even after crying for more than an hour, there were no signs of stopping. He just kept quiet.
An hour passed, Marcus looked at her indifferently and replied. "You know better.. Forced love doesn't last forever." Lillian was speechless, "..." She simply couldn't refute that! She brought it to herself. She never expected that one day she will be slapped in the face by something he said.
"Fine! Great!" Lillian glared at Marcus like he was a bad person and walked out of their bedroom.
...~...~...
After 2 months passed, at last it was time of her departure tomorrow. Although Lillian was reluctant to part, she bid her coming farewell by hugging Mother Huang in the kitchen. Although Mother Huang felt awkward at first but she still hugs Lillian back. "Why are you suddenly sentiments today? Don't get too sentiments, its will affect your womb. You don't want to bore a child who's always clinging on to her mother, right." Mother Huang said.
"I suddenly feel like hugging you, mom." Lillian replied. Maybe because apart from Mother Tang, she felt motherly love from Mother Huang after her parents passed away. "Thank you for doting on me so much, mom." She voiced again. Mother Huang replied. "Mmmh.. You're my half-daughter too. If I don't dots on you, who should I dots on than." Lillian felts her heart ached, pinch of sorrows afflicted her heart. She always love Mother Huang but because of her unstable love life with her son, Marcus, she cannot deceive herself longer.
