Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408
‘Familiarity breeds affection?’ Dylan repeated, shooting me a meaningful smile. ‘We grew up together, so how much affection do we grow for each other if that saying is true?’
Rolling my eyes, I didn’t expect him to use my own words against me and say, ‘We care for each other. How insensitive of you to imply otherwise, when I’ve always considered him my big brother.
‘Older brother?’ He laughed bitterly. ‘But I don’t want you to be my sister!’
What did he mean by not wanting me as a sister? Did he think I wasn’t good enough? Displeased, I asked, ‘So what kind of people do you like? Tell me and I’ll help you look around. I’m sure I’ll find someone suitable for you.’
‘You don’t know who the person I like is?’ Suddenly, he took a step closer to me. ‘You have no heart, Lilian Hawkins. You don’t even know who I like, even though we’ve been together for so many years. he said through clenched teeth as he fixed his eyes on me.
‘It is funny. Why should she know something like that? a voice intervened coldly.
Lifting our heads together, Dylan and I saw that Eric had appeared beside us without either of us noticing.

Dylan, on the other hand, looked displeased, and it was obvious he also noticed the change in the way he addressed me. “I consider it a slip of the tongue, but your habit of intruding into conversations is not very good, President.”

Then he wanted to ask what Eric meant by interrupting our conversation like a stranger when we weren’t anywhere near him. To that, Eric just smiled politely and clarified, ‘I just don’t intrude on any conversation. I just wanted to help Lilian when I saw that she was cornered by you.’
“I didn’t know you were so close to Lily, President Walker. So now he meant that Eric was in no position to meddle in the private matters between us.
‘There are many more things you don’t know, isn’t there, Lily?’ Eric said and shot Dylan a teasing look.
