Chapter 483
‘Since a long time ago.’
‘Really?’ Taking a sip of milk, Beverly said, “Last night I thought I heard someone calling for help.
Hearing that, I lowered my head and pretended to eat my food. However, I clearly didn’t expect Beverly to ask me directly, ‘Lilian, didn’t you hear?’
‘Of course. It was her voice,’ Eric chimed in.
Feeling totally embarrassed, I didn’t dare lift my head to look around. ‘Was it Lillian? What happened?’ Beverly asked confused.
‘She was watching a horror movie and she got scared with me in a mask,’ explained Eric in a serious way.
‘Why did you play such a trick on her?’ Beverly was probably thinking that Eric and I weren’t that close to pulling a prank like that on each other.
‘Because I wanted to.’
Speechless for a moment, Beverly turned to me and asked, ‘Lilian, we’re going to walk around the harbor today, okay?’
‘No,’ replied Eric.
‘What does this have to do with you?’
‘Let’s see the swans today.’
‘You two?’ Beverly was surprised.
‘Why? We can not? Eric asked back.
Smiling, Beverly replied: ‘Of course, of course! Can you take me too?
‘Why do you want to follow us? To be the third wheel? Eric objected.
‘What?!’ Beverly exclaimed in surprise.
What the hell?! Did Eric just expose our relationship? I really wanted to pour the glass of milk on his head, but I didn’t, of course.
Sharon, who was next to us, immediately stepped forward to smooth things over. ‘Lilian, Eric was just kidding. Don’t take it seriously.
‘How can you make such a joke? Eric, this is awesome! Lilian is simply not someone you can pull a prank on like that. You see? You made her angry. Beverly didn’t seem to suspect anything going on between Eric and me.
‘Lilian, are you angry?’ Eric asked.
‘In truth. I’m not that stingy gave an awkward smile..
‘You’re lucky Lilian doesn’t care! But to be honest, if I didn’t know that Lilian is married, I would have thought you two seem like a compatible couple!’ Beverly’s words shocked me as I always thought there was something going on between her and Eric. But then, I guess even if there really was something between them, she wouldn’t have said something like that, right?
After breakfast, Eric and I were getting ready to go out, and as a courtesy, I invited Beverly to join us before we left. Shaking her head, Beverly rejected my offer. ‘I was just kidding. I’ve seen swans many times. You can go have fun without me.’
Seeing that I was still talking to Beverly, Eric yelled impatiently from the car. ‘Hurry up, Lilian!’
As soon as I got in the car and before I could fasten my seat belts, Eric was out of the car. ‘What’s the hurry?’ I felt my anger rise.
You may not know this, but Beverly is an absolute nuisance! We have to speed up before she changes her mind and joins us. I certainly don’t want an eyesore with us.’
