Seeing this, Fade couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What did your dad say to you?"
Lily sighed softly and replied, "Nothing serious. My dad wants me to go on several blind dates."
"Blind dates?"
Hearing this, he felt his heart skip a beat for no reason.
"Sister Lily, if you don't want to, I can give him a call. I'm sure he'll understand."
She waved her hands. "No, he didn't force me. He just says that I'm getting old and so he wants to introduce some men to me. Whether I want to or not, it's up to me. But..."
"Do none of them appeal to you?" He asked.
She glanced at him and replied casually, "Once you've had a taste of the best, nothing else is worth looking at."
"I already have my eye on someone, so anyone else just never feels right to me."
"Do you get what I mean?"
Looking at her affectionate eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and a warm feeling welled up.
She had once confessed to him.
However, at the time, he had already married Quin. Hence, she had always kept her feelings to herself. She never crossed the boundary between them.
She could hide her feelings, but it would always be there. Just like wine, it got stronger as time passed.
Lately, Jimmy had been trying to introduce Lily to some men and she had tried meeting them with an open mind.
However, after meeting them, she realized that the person in her heart could never be replaced.
"Sister Lily, I..." Even though Fade was already at the Lord Level, he was still very clueless when it came to relationships. He had no idea how to respond to Lily's feelings.
Seeing his flustered look, she said slowly, "I understand."
"But, can you stay here tonight?"
"Uh, I..." He was startled.
She smiled faintly. "Don't worry, I won't do anything to hurt Quin. I just want you to keep me company for the night. You can just sit there quietly. You don't have to do anything."
After a moment's thought, he nodded. "Okay, I'll stay."
She smiled and pointed to the other side of the double bed. "It's cold at night. Hop in!"
"1-1 don't think that's a good idea!" He refused.
"Do you not trust me? Or, do you not trust yourself?" She rolled her eyes and asked.
Fade was speechless for a moment. Eventually, he climbed into the bed and sat next to Lily.
The two chatted softly, from their initial acquaintance in Bay City to their various encounters.
Bit by bit, the memories slowly resurfaced in their minds, leaving warm smiles on their faces.
Soon after, it began to get late.
Both of them were a little tired. Thus, they closed their eyes and slowly slipped under the quilt.
At that moment, Lily suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Fade, who was lying beside her. Her mouth moved slightly as she whispered. "I'm sorry!"
Then, with a faint swoosh, she reached out her fair arm and gently moved over.
The next morning, Fade sat on the bed and looked at the sunshine coming through the curtain. He rubbed his eyebrows with a heavy head.
On the double bed, there was no one beside him.
However, he knew very clearly that in the early morning, Lily had carefully got out of bed. After changing the white sheets that had been stained red, she left a letter behind and slipped away.
