"Why did you even bother to bring her back? Don't you know that public figures like you, Joseph Li, are constantly covered by a lot of eyes and cameras?" Lola couldn't figure out why her brother would make such a silly mistake. He was not a rookie at all!
Joseph couldn't deny that he made a mistake. He could only just scratch his head. "Only Lillian can help me. I don't do anything wrong, okay?" She was in Joseph's apartment last night. The reporters would shut up if only she could be seen walking out together with him.
However, Joseph was not sure whether Lillian was still upset. He could not risk her health right now.
"You want Lillian to save you? She's so kind that she didn't even kill you for what you did." Lola answered sarcastically. If such things should happen to Harry, she couldn't imagine what she'd do to him...
Stop thinking about that! Lola shook her head immediately. How crazy!
"What do you mean by saving me, my sister? I'm innocent. Okay?"
"Innocent? Didn't you take that woman to your home last night?"
"I have. But it doesn't mean that we did something wrong!" But he sent her away then. She didn't even sleep there.
Lola doubted how her brother survived in the entertainment circle for years. "You are not innocent since you have let her in."
… Joseph started to agree with his sister. She had a point. He was at fault in this matter.
"I'll wait for Lillian to wake up. And I'll talk with her right away." The door of the bedroom opened while Joseph was still speaking.
"I have to hang up, Lola. She's up now." Joseph immediately hung up the phone and rushed in front of Lillian. He greeted her with a voice as sweet as he could make, "Good morning, Honey."
What a "good" morning. Lillian just gave him a cold stare. His phone has never stopped ringing.
She already knew what was going on. She saw 999 Weibo messages on the phone screen notification just now.
She turned the silent mode on. There were still dozens of missed calls.
Joseph gave up when he saw Lillian having so much difficulty in walking around. He could handle this by himself like a man.
"Go and wash yourself, honey. Let's have breakfast after." Joseph would rather eat with his wife before he went to work.
Lillian was puzzled as to why Joseph did not say anything about the matter. After all, nobody could help him but her.
Lillian dressed herself up after washing and walked out of the apartment together with Joseph. She held his hand as they walked slowly.
Surprised, Joseph looked at Lillian's hand and asked, "You already believe me?"
Lillian didn't answer. She pressed the elevator button and stepped in.
The silence caused Joseph to be a bit upset.
Outside the apartment, the media were anxiously waiting for Joseph and the young actress. At the sight of Lillian, they all got so confused. Their mouths gaped open in bewilderment.
Where was Cassie? Wasn't she there? How could the pregnant Lillian appear at this time?
Confused as they were, the media crowded around and poured out their questions. They never considered that crowding the couple would force the pregnant Lillian into a tough situation.
"Mr. Li, can you explain what happened last night?"
"Mrs. Li, what do you think of your husband's infidelity?"
"Mr. Li, how long have you been dating Cassie?"
