Chapter 367
“Lily’s entire focus is on the competition right now What does she need to see anyone for? Terence’s tone was serious, and his expression was unusually stern
Maryanne, who was used to being spoiled by Terence, rarely saw him with such a serious expression. “Terence, are you in a bad mood?
Lily responded through the screen, “How is he in a bad mood? He just doesn’t think I should be going on blind dates right now.
“That is correct,” Terence responded, then took Maryanne’s phone to speak to Lily directly. “When are you preparing to leave the country?
Maryanne stood on tiptoe, leaning in as if she had something to say. However, Termice had already taken the phone and entered the living room, and Maryanne trotted after him. When Lily saw Terence, she thought about the apartment at Bayview Gardens. She paused for a moment before answering
“I haven’t thought about it. It shouldn’t be too late to go before the competition.”
“Okay, but you should still plan ahead. Pay attention to the progress of the competition lately and observe the preferences of a few judges. Sometimes, catching t be an added advantage, Terence advised in detail
Lily had participated in many design competitions during college, but in the real professional world, those were just child’s play.
She couldn’t even think about having jumped from domestic competitions to the international stage. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she got. “gor it,” Lily said.
On the screm, she frowned slightly. Terence’s tone softened somewhat, “Don’t worry too much. When the time comes, I’—”
He stopped before he finished his sentence and then said, “Things will fall into place when the time comes.”
“It means jest go for it!” Maryanne leaned in, raised her fist, and shouted, “Even if you don’t win the championship, it’s okay. Terence will back you up
“He’s well–connected in the design world, and he’ll definitely help you find a way to make it. You’ll never go hungry!
“But don’t you bring back a foreigner, my Anglon isn’t good. If you two argued, can’t yell at him because he wouldn’t understand, and I’d be so angry!”
Maryanne kept talking, and as Lily listened on, she couldn’t help but smile increasingly widely in amusement,
“Stop talking nonsense,” Terence said, his expression darkening again. He spoke to Lily, saying, “It’s working hours now. You’re busy, so we’ll talk later.” Lily nodded and said, “Okay”
After the call ended, Terence handed the phone hack to Maryanne. Finally, he went upstairs to the stady to get some documents.
Marika happened to be going downstairs. After greeting Terence, she turned to Maryanne and asked. “How did it go on Lily’s endi
the judges‘ eye can
“Don’t bring it up. She won’t admit it, but she’s definitely been hurt too deeply by Xanter She’s not willing to look for anyone in the short term, Maryanne said, quickly shifting all the blame onto Kavier
Marika sighed, her tone full of sympathy. “This child, her life had been quite hard. All of you came from similar backgrounds when you were young, but you and Terence were always cherished
“Lily was trampled on by the Joyners. She finallymarried into a good family, but now she’s ended up like this”
Maryanne clicked her tongue and said, “The first half of her life was difficult, but her future will definitely be a bright one!”
“We can only hope,” Marika said Though she felt sorry for Lily, she decided to stop hissing aimlessly since Lily had no intention of looking for a new partner.
