Lily honestly thought that Darryl surprised her with the lanterns that had her name on them. Her guess was rebutted almost immediately. It was a huge project. Darryl would never put in the effort to do this.
"Look, the lanterns have words on them!" Somebody called out.
The crowd clamored. How romantic! They wondered who was the lucky girl!
"It'd be great if someone wrote my name on those..." Some girls were envious.
Phoebe walked to Lily and held her hand, "Lily, you're really lucky!”
Lily smiled and nodded to Justin. Although she did not have an interest in him, she was touched. She could sense that Justin was willing to put in the effort for her.
Beaming with happiness, Justin smiled. "I'm willing t o do anything to see you smile."
He could see that Lily was touched. That was a good sign to ask her out!
Lily smiled and took out her phone to take a photo when she noticed a familiar figure walking toward her.
She was elated and surprised! "Darryl!” Lily ran toward
him with a cry of surprise.
At the same time, Jade was shocked and became nervous. She stuttered, "Da...Darryl...”
She was used to calling him 'Daddy,' but she could not use that nickname in front of so many people. It would be embarrassing. Sensing Jade's awkwardness, Darryl smiled and nodded to her in acknowledgment.
Justin clenched his fists in anger. Damn it, the live-in son-in-law appeared during the most crucial moment as he was about to get close to Lily.
'Why is he here? Isn’t he in the library?'
Lily smiled and asked Darryl, "What took you so long?"
