"Miss Lilly." Ethan's cold voice sounded with sarcasm, "What? You turned to violence when you failed to make friends?"
"Misunderstanding, pure misunderstanding." She said with a smile, while holding his hand tightly and refusing to let go.
"Honey? Honey?! What's wrong with you? What happened?" A man's anxious voice suddenly came from the floor.
She looked around and found her mobile phone that had fallen on the ground. She was just having a video chat with Karl, and the speaker was turned on. The mobile phone was on the left, and Ethan was on the right. Since ancient times, you can't have both fish and bear's paw...
She made a prompt decision, suddenly clamped his arm with her arm, pulled him hard, squatted to the left with her, and picked up the mobile phone.
"Honey? Honey?"
She picked up the phone on the ground. Karl was still shouting on the other end. She quickly adjusted the phone and smiled at the person in the video, "Karl, I'm fine. I just bumped into someone by accident."
"That's good. I was almost scared to death by you." Karl breathed a sigh of relief and blamed with a doting look, "You are always so reckless!"
She was not angry at all. Instead, she laughed a few times and showed a soft laugh.
Suddenly, a strong force threw away her body, and she almost fell to the ground again with her phone.
Ethan shook off her grip fiercely, and for some reason, his eyes became cold and fierce and then strode away. She didn't care to talk to Karl anymore. She hurriedly ran a few steps to catch up with him and opened her arms to stop him.
"Ethan!" she gasped. He walked too fast and took big steps. She ran for a long time before catching up. "Listen to me first--"
"What?" he glanced at the phone she held tightly in her hand with a mocking look. "Miss Lilly, you went to great lengths to stop me, just to let me hear you and your boyfriend being affectionate?" He heard the man in the video and heard the man calling her "honey" affectionately.
He didn't expect that she had a boyfriend in just one year. She dared to have a boyfriend!
"Boyfriend?" she looked at her phone with a little confusion following his gaze. "You mean Karl?"
He didn't answer her. He pushed her away again and walked straight to the parking lot with a cold face.
"Ethan!" Lilly hurriedly chased after him again. She grabbed, he shook, and after grabbing for a long time, she still couldn't grab his arm as she wished. Seeing him was about to walk into the parking lot, if he got in the car, there would be no chance!
Lilly immediately put the phone in her pocket and grabbed it with both hands, this time he grabbed his hand. The soft and slender fingers wrapped around his fingertips, the long-lost taste made his mind shake, and he stopped suddenly.
He almost wanted to hold those little hands tightly and never let go.
But before he started to hold them, Lilly saw that she finally stopped and realized that her goal had been achieved. When she saw that she had held someone's hand, her heart skipped a beat, her cheeks became hot, and she quickly let go and grabbed his suit sleeve instead.
"Great, you finally listen to me! Can you reconsider the thing I asked you before? Please, please, this is important to me! Can you help me?" Lilly put on a pitiful expression, and seeing him staring at her hand without saying anything for some reason, she hurriedly urged, "Ethan? Ethan?"
He came back to his senses after she called him, and his eyes instantly seemed to be frozen again. He turned his eyes away coldly, took out the car key from his trouser pocket, pressed the unlock button, and the lights of the silver BMW parked in the first position in the parking lot immediately lit up.
"Ethan..." she nervously grasped his sleeve.
"Miss Lilly, do you have a problem with your hearing or your comprehension ability?" he shook her off and threw down the last sentence indifferently, "Then I'll say it again, no matter what you do, I won't help."
Her eyes were sore and faintly red. She bit her lip and slowly let go of his sleeve. She had been pestering this man for four years. She knew his character 70% well, even if she didn't know 100%.
Once he said no, it would be the end of the world. Don't even think about making him change his mind.
She walked dejectedly to the intersection of the Road where she had an appointment with Karl.
She paced in circles, thinking about what had happened for most of the day, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure out why he hated her... she really couldn't figure it out!
"That guy! What kind of murder and arson did I do that is unacceptable to heaven!" Lilly kicked the ground angrily.
The silver BMW that had been following behind from a distance just now slowed down a little, and the man in the car stared at the girl's every move. She was still the same as before, when she was angry and depressed, she would be like this, puffing up her white and tender little face, kicking the ground angrily.
His cold eyes eased a little, and as soon as his tense nerves relaxed, he saw a Mustang parked next to Lilly.
A tall man with warm and dazzling blond hair, black-framed glasses, and a white coat stepped out of the car. He had a gentle and outstanding temperament.
"Karl!" As soon as Lilly saw the man coming, she rushed up and hugged him happily.
"Ouch! Honey, be careful, don't bend my old waist." Karl laughed heartily. He was almost a head taller than her and had the advantage of the tall bones of Westerners. He held the girl in his arms with both hands lifted her and shook her for a few circles before putting her back on the ground.
