The phone call was not from Tina, but from Joe.
Lily looked at the caller ID and answered, "Hello, Grandpa."
"Girl, where are you?" Joe said anxiously.
"I..." Lily looked at Eric subconsciously and answered, "I'm outside. What's wrong? Grandpa?"
"Outside? Are you not with Tina?"
"No… I didn't." Lily looked at Eric again and answered with a little guilty.
"Who are you staying with now?" Joe kept asking.
"I... I..."
"Are you with the Gu family's child now? You were together last night, weren't you?"
"How do you know?" Lily blurted out. She knew that the child that Grandpa Gu referred to was Eric. But the strange thing was that grandpa did not know who she was join the banquet last night. How did he know?
"Bastard! Look at yourself. What have you done?" Joe said angrily, along with the sound of pounding the table.
"Grandpa, is… What happened?" Asked Lily. It was the first time her grandfather had been so angry with her.
"How dare you ask what happened? Check today's morning paper!"
Hearing that, Lily's eyebrows trembled. She had a bad feeling.
"Go back to the old house now. Don't go anywhere else!" Joe said angrily, "Bring the child of Gu family back with you."
"I… I know, Grandpa." No sooner had she finished speaking than the phone was hung up.
Looking at the mobile phone in her hand, Lily was confused. What happened again? How could grandpa be so angry.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Asked Eric, seeing her depressed.
Judging from what she said just now, it was not difficult to guess that something must have happened. Although he could not hear the voice on the phone, he heard clearly what she said.
"I don't know." Lily was confused. "Grandpa asked me to read the morning newspaper today. He also asked me to go back to the old house and take you back."
"Let me go back with you?" Eric frowned.
"Yes." Lily nodded. She was also confused. "Grandpa knows that I stayed with you last night."
Eric's brows furrowed even tighter. Although his affair with Lily was agreed by her mother, Tina and Kerr, nobody else knew it.
And now Joe asked her to take him back, and his voice was very bad. It was obvious that he was a little disagree with the fact that Lily was with him.
At that time, he didn't choose to expose it completely because they were too young and he was afraid of causing the opposition of the Gu and Qiao family.
"Don't just stand there. Get up now." Lily nudged Eric who was lost in thought with her elbow. Then, she got up first and went to the bathroom to wash herself. Although her left hand was bandaged, she could still wash with her right hand.
Seeing this, Eric also got off the bed. He took the dress that Lily took off yesterday to the bathroom. Because there were no other clothes, she could only wear this dress back.
When Lily saw him walk in, she didn't show any shy expression, as if she had been used to it. He helped her took off her clothes and changed the dress.
After getting washed, they went downstairs.
When they came to the first floor, they saw Ellison in pajamas lazily drinking a glass of milk.
"Morning." Seeing them, Ellison said, "There are different kinds of sandwiches in the fridge. You can heat them."
"No, thanks." He went straight to the living room and looked through all the newspapers on the coffee table, but he didn't find the one he wanted to find.
"Where is today's newspaper?" He turned to Ellison and asked.
"It should be in the mailbox. I haven't checked it yet." Ellison took a sip of milk and was curious as he saw Eric was in such a hurry to find today's newspaper. "What's wrong?"
Without answering him, Eric went straight outside. Lily didn't follow him. Instead, she waited for him in the living room.
"What's wrong with him?" After a look at the back of Eric, Ellison looked at Lily and asked.
"Something happened." Lily answered with a frown.
"What happened?" "What happened?" asked Ellison confusedly.
"I don't know. Grandpa just called and asked us to read newspaper on our own. I think something bad must have happened."
At the sight of this, even Ellison frowned and stopped drinking milk, lost in thought.
After a while, Eric returned. His face was dark and frightening. He crumpled the newspaper in his hand.
"What happened?" Lily asked.
