On the other end, Alex’s tone was low and frustrated." Lily, where have you been the whole day?"
Lily glanced at Jane and smiled sweetly. "I'm fine. What's wrong, Alex? You care about me so much, worrying the moment I go out to have some fun? It's not like you don't know I like to stay out and have fun."
"Come back!" Alex ordered coldly.
Lily was startled. "Right now, Alex?"
"Yeah!" Alex remained silent for a few moments, then a s if he had come to a heavy decision, he said, "Lily, we have been apart for too long, almost ten years. Ten years is long enough to change someone entirely, we..."
Lily was so nervous, she felt as if the air had frozen. Her fingers that were wrapped around her phone had turned pale. She thought to herself several times, please, please don't say the words she did not want to hear.
However, on the other end, after remaining quiet for a few minutes, he said, "We should break up!"
Lily was speechless. Even if she had been preparing herself mentally for two weeks. Even if at this moment, she could predict what he was going to say, but hearing them personally, Lily felt as if a knife had stabbed into her chest, as if needles had pierced into her skin, as if she had been thrown into the meat
grinder.
"Alex..." Lilly forced herself to sound like she did not care. "Why are you telling me this right now?"
On the other end of the phone, he snorted. Lily was still Lilly! Right from the start, she was a woman who only lived for herself. That was good. This way, she would not be too hurt.
"Come home, we'll talk." Alex ended their call with a few short words. His tone did not hold an ounce of reluctance.
On her end, Lily looked at the phone in her hand and remained in a daze for a few long moments. A few minutes later, she pulled open the door and said to Jane who lay curled up in the car. "B*tch! Do you know why Alex called me just now?"
