Chapter 20 Selfishness

His voice was not loud, but Lilian was startled.

She gestured in a panic: I... I want to... want to buy something.

"What?"

Lilian swallowed: Clothes, for you.

He stared at her with his deep eyes and suddenly laughed, "Buy me clothes?"

Lilian nodded.

"Lily." He suddenly called her name. It had been a long time since she'd heard him call her that way.

He caressed Lilian's cheek with his fingers and said in a cold voice, "You are a bad girl now. You lie without blinking. Did Courtney teach you this?"

Lilian's pupils shrank and she waved her hands repeatedly.

Francis grabbed her hand and stopped her from explaining. He put his other hand around her waist and kissed her lips.

"Don't be so nervous. I'm just kidding. What kind of clothes are you going to buy me?"

Lilian's hands were restrained and she could only stare at him helplessly.

And he didn't seem to want her to answer.

Lilian glanced outside the door. It was raining lightly and gray outside. It was only after five o'clock.

She tried to break away from him, but he held her wrists tightly, and she had no way to communicate with him. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She was breathing heavily, shaking her head, and could only plead with him with her eyes.

And Francis, as he said, seemed to just want to tease her and didn't do anything substantial.

Until there were tears in her eyes, he finally let her go.

Lilian stood up from his lap, arranged her clothes haphazardly, and gestured: I'm going to cook.

He also stood up and said, "No need. You eat by yourself tonight."

After saying this, Francis buttoned up his collar, walked two steps, and then turned back and said, "Don't do this again."

Lilian bit her lip, avoiding his sight.

His eyes flickered, but he said nothing and turned around and walked out.

Lilian fell weakly on the sofa and raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen. She knew what Francis meant.

She couldn't see Courtney again, and she couldn't make money.

He had said that he would agree to divorce after she paid back the money, but he stopped her from making money.

It was obvious that he didn't love her, but he refused to let her go.

Perhaps it was like what Courtney said - selfishness.

Even if he didn't like it, he wouldn't throw it away easily, let alone let it escape from his control.

Even if he didn't want it, he could only throw it away by himself, not her by herself.

Francis drove his car through the drizzle. He arrived at the hospital and went straight to the inpatient department.

Julian's ankle was sprained. There was no need to be hospitalized, but she insisted.

As a result, she stayed alone for two days, and Francis just came to once. It was not interesting to live in this hospital. She was ready to be discharged, so she called him and asked him to pick her up.

Francis stood in the elevator, with a family of four inside.

The woman held a baby in her arms, the man held the woman in his arms, and a five-year-old boy stood next to the man.

"It's all your fault for giving your daughter the name Rund. The more I look at her face, the rounder it seems. Will she have a big round face when she grows up?" The woman complained, but her mouth was shaped as a sweet smile.

The man smiled and said, "It's cute to have a round face. Our daughter will definitely look like you when she grows up."

"It's best to be like me. If she looks like you, she won't be able to get married."

"Then my little sweetheart will always be with me."

The little boy pulled his mother's hand and said, "Mom, I want to hold my sister too."

The woman freed up a hand and rubbed the boy's head, "Wait when we get home. Your baby sister won't run away. There will be plenty of time for you to hold her from now on."

The elevator door opened, and a family of four walked out chatting and laughing. When they passed by Francis, he glanced at the baby in the woman's arms.

He watched them leave until the elevator closed.

When Lilian first came to the Landau family, her face was also round.

When she grew up, her face became less round.
