Avenger's coming back novel Chapter 67

"Thanks for your concern. I'm fine now." Lily replied with a faint smile, her eyes never averted from Lucia.

She was so unusual today. She even came back to the old house to 'care about' her. Did she have an ulterior motive?

"Ugh?" Lucia sighed and said, "I didn't have time to care about you when you and Claire got hurt last time. I'm not considerate enough. Hope you don't mind it."

"I can understand. After all, she was seriously injured. It would be troublesome if she had sequela." Lily emphasized on the word "seriously". A clever man could immediately understand what she meant.

Lucia seemed not to hear it or she pretended not. She pulled Lily's hand and sat down on the sofa next to her.

She said gently, "I'm sorry that I didn't come to see you in time and didn't do my duty as an elder. Eden told me that your mother went to see you..."

Oh, she finally understood. Lily's eyes were cold, but she didn't show it on her face. She didn't interrupt her, just listening to her quietly.

"I want to invite her to have a meal and apologize to her. After all, I failed to take care of you. It's my fault. I have to apologize to her."

See, what a clear and reasonable excuse! There was no way that she could refuse!

However, Lily just smiled lightly and said, "Aunt, it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself. It's my responsibility. I went out alone so late at night. If I had come back earlier, nothing would have happened."

Hearing this, Lucia's eyes darkened. She held back her anger, but still pretended to be a kind mother.

"Lily, you know that you and your mother separated because of me. If she hadn't left the Qiao family, you would have been taken good care of and nothing would have happened to you. To be fair, I should personally apologize to her. Otherwise, I would feel guilty."

She didn't want to apologize, but she just want to know where her mother was!

Lily's eyes were as cold as ice. She lowered her head to avoid eye contact with Lucia. Meanwhile, the smile on her face disappeared.

Did Lucia take her as a fool? She won't be fooled so easily.!

A moment later, Lily raised her head again, but she looked very embarrassed. "Auntie, please don't say that. The more you say like this, the more I feel guilty."

She was sure that Lucia didn't know what had happened to her at all.

"Lily, don't tell me that you don't even give me a chance to apologize to your mother, will you?"

"No, aunt..."

"What's that?" Lucia was a little impatient and said in a bit aggressive tone, but she didn't realize that. "I just want you to call your mother and make an appointment with her to have dinner. But you are not willing to do that."

Lucia couldn't hold her temper in such a short time. The corners of Lily's mouth invisibly curved. But she still looked embarrassed.

"How about this? Tell me where your mother is. I will come to apologize to her in person." Lucia continued when she saw that Lily kept silent.

She thought was good!

Lily looked at her with an expression of embarrassment. "Aunt, it's really not like that. I..."

"Why are you here?" Joe interrupted Lily.

"Grandpa."

"Father."

Both of them were surprised, but Lucia was more blatant. She stood up directly.

Joe didn't like Lucia. At first, if it wasn't for the death of his wife, and let Eden recognize his ancestor, he would not agree to Dillon and Tina divorce and let her enter Qiao family.

Joe frowned, looked at Lucia and directly asked her to leave, "Since Dillon is very busy in the company, you can't always be idle. You can't let him worry about the family affairs, right?"

"Dad, something happened to Lily. I come here to see her." Lucia explained.

Joe glanced at her and said, "Lily is all right now."

Lucia's face darkened with anger. However, she couldn't lose her temper, so she had to control herself.

"I'm relieved to see Lily. I'm leaving now." Then she turned around and left. But at the moment she turned around, her face immediately became ferocious.

Looking at her back, Lily smiled sarcastically.

"I am so worried." Joe grumbled, turned to look at Lily and asked with concern, "Lily, did she make trouble for you?"

"No, she didn't." Lily shook her head and said, "Auntie comes to see me. She won't embarrass me."

Joe snorted and said, "I hope she really comes here to see you."

Lily didn't say anything about it. She couldn't say anything bad about Lucia in front of Joe. Otherwise, others would gossip that she was trying to sow dissension among them.

After coming out of the old house, Lucia looked terrible. When she came to the living room of the Qiao family, she directly threw her handbag onto the sofa.
