It was in the evening when Lily and Colin came back home. Hobson had been waiting for them.
"Lily, finally you're back!" Upon seeing Lily, Juliet dashed forward in an attempt to hug her. But Lily dodged towards Colin slightly. This startled Juliet, but she didn't suspect her intention.
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry to have worried you." Lily apologized to Juliet and William sincerely.
When she saw Hobson, the obedient expression on Lily's face immediately disappeared, but she restrained her emotion in front of her parents.
"Lily, are you okay?" Hobson didn't dare to move forward, but the care in his eyes was sincere.
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." In front of her parents, Lily was polite.
William also wanted to comfort Lily, but he slightly moved his lips and did not ask anything. In the children's eyes, he was cold and solemn that no one could approach. From childhood to adulthood, they were not close to him, and they did not have much communication with him after growing up.
"You can talk in your room. I'll ask the maid to send some desserts and drinks to your room." Juliet smiled at Lily and Hobson and pushed them away.
Colin also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Juliet.
"Colin, you and Zoey have to stay here. We have something to discuss." Colin had to stop.
"Kate, come with me." Lily dragged Kate who was sitting on the sofa.
Kate shrank her head. She could feel the resentment in Hobson's eyes when he looked at her. She always disturb them. How could he not blame it But she couldn't leave Lily alone. Alas, it was also hard for her to do that
When they went back to room, Lily and Kate sitting on the bed while Hobson on the sofa.
"Go ahead, what else do you want to say?" Lily's tone became harsh immediately. She stared at Hobson fiercely.
"Lily, you said you wanted a beautiful crown, to be a noble princess, waiting for the prince to pick you up, didn't you?" Hobson had been accustomed to Lily's indifference. He opened the gift box with a smile, knowing that he would be rejected if he gave it directly to her.
As Hobson opened the gift, a glittering golden crown emerged. It was simple in shape but looked very luxurious. Especially, the emerald inserted in the middle of it was glittering in the incandescent light, clear and eye-catching.
Seeing this, Kate was stunned. Was this gem real? Hobson was the senior schoolmate of Lily. How could he have so much money to buy this?
Lily just glanced at the crown and refused indifferently, "no, you can take it back."
"Lily, don't refuse me immediately. Keep this gift for yourself. Take it as a gift from a friend." Hobson put the crown on the table and said, "this is Rosa crown * brought back by my father on the abroad auction. I hope you can accept it."
"Humph!" Insisted Lily.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to freeze, Kate quickly turned around and asked Lily, "Michelle, what's wrong with Carlos? Are you okay? "
Hearing this question, Hobson frowned.
"Hobson is our classmate, and also a member of the magic club. It seems that he wasn't at the birthday party that day." Lily glared at Hobson, gritting her teeth with hatred. "And at the same time, he's Hobson's cousin."
"……" 'Hobson, you are such a poor guy...'
No wonder that after knowing the truth, Hobson didn't say anything, just sitting there with a solemn expression.
"I was going to get some fresh air last night, but I saw someone occupy the balcony..." Lily looked at Kate who got her point and nodded her head. Lily continued, "that's why I called Hobson and promised him to go out for fun. We made an appointment with the time and place. When I got up, I found that everyone was still sleeping, so I left first."
If Hobson hadn't called Carlos last night, he wouldn't do that. Hobson felt very sorry.
"When Aunt Juliet and I arrived at Carrie's home, she was home as usual. He told us her phone was power off. Carlos must have told Carrie. He want to set a focus on Carrie so that we can't find Lily. " With his brows furrowed, Hobson said in a grave voice.
'Carrie doesn't look like a bad girl, but he indulges Carlos to do what he want to do, ' thought Kate.
"Lily, I am really sorry." Hobson could only say it again and again.
Lily didn't say anything to Hobson. She just asked Kate, "how is Carlos now?"
"He was sent to the police station. It is said his family went broke, so they stayed at Hobson's home." Kate replied.
"Lily, I believe that Carlos really didn't do it on purpose. His mother died a long time ago, and his father was hospitalized. What's more, his company was bought out. I'm sure he just done something wrong with no purpose." Explained Hobson for Carlos.
