Daniel clearly has the intention to ask more questions. Lily, however, at the thought of Chandler’s secret identity, starts to talk before Daniel can say anything.
“He’s my middle school classmate’s kid, and my mom lives in the same neighborhood with him. So, I take him out when I have time. Mr. Daniel, do you like this kind of child?”
“Your classmate?”
Lily nods her head and continues to make up the story with a straight face, “His mom teaches art, and his dad was a member of the National Ping Pong Team. But he retired last year.”
It’s hard to miss the disappointment felt by Daniel.
Daniel has no clue why this child’s black eye kernels have left such a deep impression on him. He knows what he thought is impossible, but he has to ask.
If Stella had his child, he would know, right?
Lily immediately changes the subject for fear of his suspicion, “Mr. Daniel, does Miss Stella know you have such deep feeling for her? Letting your ex marry your own buddy, you’re such a generous man.”
Daniel casts a cold glance at her.
But Lily isn’t afraid at all. She sees some letters vaguely hiding between his fingers, so she grabs his hand, “These letters must have something to do with Miss Stella.”
Miss Stella! Miss Stella!
Daniel is not in a good mood tonight, when Lily keeps bringing up this name, his rage goes uncontrollable. He clenches her wrist and throws her against the wall.
“Lily, you got what you want; now you can keep your mouth shut.” His eyes are radiating fierce, as if he wants to kill her.
“I didn’t say anything. You’re the one who is throwing a fit.” Lily keeps on picking on him, “I suspect Miss Stella broke up with you because she couldn’t stand your shitty tamper.”
Daniel clenches even harder.
Lily gasps for pain. She thinks her wrist may be broken at any time.
“Daniel, you don’t want to do this to me.” Lily stares at him with growing rage, “I know exactly what you did.”
Daniel sneers. He pushes his head towards Lily and asks with sarcasm, “Well, what do you have on me?”
Lily chills out of fright.
It’s freaking scary.
Her heart is pounding faster as if something is pressing on her chest. Lily gets sweats on her forehead and looks so pale. Without any sign, she just falls into Daniel’s arms.
Daniel pushes her away the next second, trying to keep a distance with her.
“Lily?”
Seeing Lily’s pale face, Daniel is shocked for a moment. He picks her up, the second he lifts his head up, he finds Stella is holding on to the wall. Stress flies all over his stomach.
He says nothings and leaves with Lily in his arms.
Stella scratches her fingers into the wall, feeling a little bit breathless.
She knows Lily feels nothing for Daniel, but seeing such intimate scene, she’s still jealous.
Right after she calms herself down, she goes to Louis and tells him everything.
“Lily passed out?”
Louis strides to guest lounge with Stella without any hesitation, and calls Justin.
The phone dials, then Justin’s voice appears, “Daniel called me thirty seconds ago. I’m on my way here. You can check her out first.”
“ASAP.” Louis says.
Louis enters the guest lounge, and Lily is lying on the sofa, looking all pale, breathing fast.
He asked Daniel, “What happened?”
“We were talking, and she just suddenly fainted.” Daniel is explaining the situation, “First, she was sweating, and now her heart is racing.”
