Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173
“If you have enough money with you today, you can pay for everything. If not, you can pay me next time.”
What else could I say after meeting someone like that? I originally wanted to pay the medical expenses, but after what he said, I didn’t want to pay anymore. “I don’t have that much money today. The next time!”
“Well, then take the money that’s on the table. Since you owe me so much, what little you left won’t do much good.” As Eric said this, he stuffed the money back into my bag.
Gritting my teeth, I walked out of Eric’s office. As I was opening the door, Eric reminded me from behind, “Remember to bring the money next time we meet!”
Instead of answering, I quickened my pace.
When I got home from work that night, I heard Carson’s monstrous snarl from the living room at the door. “I let you go to college so you could study, not so you could date. How could you let me down like this? Why are you so tactless?”
“Carson, Eliza is no longer a child; it’s normal for her to see someone.” My mother-in-law tried to persuade him.
“Normal? This is normal? She is indiscreet; she is embarrassing me!”
“Carson, I don’t like what you just said. What do you mean I embarrassed you? I’m an adult now; I know what I am doing. Also, weren’t you a lot younger than me when you were in a relationship?”
“We’re equal? I am a man and you are a girl. A girl shouldn’t just play with anyone and get pregnant! How do you think people will look at you now?”
Was Eliza pregnant? I was surprised but pleased at the same time. I couldn’t wait to see the wonderful expressions on the others’ faces; I quickly turned the key and pushed open the door.
The room was crowded. My father-in-law and Carson were sitting on one side, while my mother-in-law and Jolene were on the other side. Eliza was sitting alone.
Unlike the way she was walking on top of me yesterday, Eliza’s head was hanging down today; her lips were pouting and her eyes were red. It looked like Carson had already scolded her before I arrived.
Upon hearing the sound of me opening the door, everyone in the room looked up.
“You’re back, Lily!” Jolene was the first to greet me.
After greeting her in response, I deliberately asked, “Did something happen?”
