After returning to the special apartment, Lily helped Hailey move her suitcase into the guest room, while Eric answered the phone. He didn't know who was calling. He looked in the direction of the guest room and went to the balcony.
After moving all the suitcases into the guest room, Lily sat down on the edge of the bed, took a breath and said to Hailey, "You can use this wardrobe to put clothes and the bed sheet on this bed..."
While speaking, she patted the bed and said, "If you don't like this color, change it. I have a new one."
Looking at Lily, Hailey smiled, "I'm not that picky. I'm fine."
"Okay." Lily nodded. She could tell that Hailey's smile was not deep in her eyes, and there was even a little weariness on her face. She could not help but sigh secretly. She reached out her hand to pull her arm and let her sit beside her.
"Hailey, in fact, I think he still likes you, but he doesn't know it yet."
"Lily..." Hailey turned to her, "I don't want to talk about him."
"Okay." Lily blinked and changed the topic. "What are you going to do next?"
"Find a house first, and then take on a new task." Hailey's eyes dimmed.
In fact, she wanted to say that she wanted to go home, but she didn't dare. If she went back, she would definitely be criticized by the elders of her family. At that time, no one in the family agreed with her to choose this job. She ran away from home in a fit of pique.
"Don't look for a house. Just live here." Said Lily.
"It's not convenient for me to live here. After all, you and Eric..." Before Hailey finished her words, Lily answered, "It's okay. This bedroom is empty anyway."
Hearing this, Hailey's eyes widened. "You two sleep in the same bed?"
"Yes." Lily nodded her head and didn't realize that there was something wrong with her words. When she realized it, she blushed immediately and explained, "Well, don't misunderstand. Although we slept together, nothing happened."
Hailey looked at her suspiciously, as if thinking that her words were somewhat credible.
Seeing this, Lily was a little anxious. "Really. We are so young. How can we go that far, not to mention that there are elders watching us."
Seeing her like this, Hailey believed her a little bit, "You really don't fit to eat forbidden fruit too early."
"Hmm." Lily blushed and nodded. Everyone was worried about Eric when they slept together.
Then she changed the topic. "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you."
"It's okay. Whatever you cook." Hailey replied.
"Do you have any taboo food?" Lily asked again. When she finished, she suddenly remembered that Eric was a picky eater. He didn't eat corn, onion, mutton, shrimp, fish… Oh, by the way, there were onions in the soup. If there were onions in the soup, they would definitely be disliked!
Every time when she cooked, she thought of the food he didn't eat. It was enough!
"I don't mind." Hailey shook her head.
"I'm going to cook. Have a rest first." After saying that, Lily stood up and went out.
When Lily walked out of the guest room, Eric just hung up the phone and walked in from the balcony.
"Have her settled down?" He asked.
"Okay." Lily nodded, turned around and walked into the kitchen. "I'm hungry. I'm going to cook."
Eric followed, "I'll go with you."
After entering the kitchen, Lily first steamed the rice, and then took out all the dishes she wanted to eat at noon. She was about to wash them, but was stopped by Eric. "Let me wash them. You go to cut the vegetables, so soon."
She turned to him and asked, "Are you busy this afternoon?"
"Yes." Eric nodded, "Grandpa called me just now and asked me to go back in the afternoon, probably to let Ethan go into the Gu family."
"It seems that your grandfather can't wait any longer." Lily asked Eric to wash the vegetables in her hands, and then she washed them clean and cut them on the chopping board.
"Exactly." There was a hint of mockery in his tone. While selecting the dishes, Eric said, "Dale is also a resourceful person. In addition, Simon put obstacles, so Grandpa is naturally anxious."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Let's go back and see what they are going to do. I can't make a decision for this kind of thing in Gu family. No matter how I object, grandpa won't listen to me. The most important thing is to see how my father will treat this matter. If he still disappoints me and mom, we will leave this family forever."
Eric said calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
