Chapter 447
Lily did not expect to see the young man she had been trying so hard to find in her family‘s backyard. He looked like he did not change much except that there were no more sparkles in his eyes. There was a gloomy atmosphere surrounding him instead.
“Everyone who‘s here today has the same purpose,” Benedict stated as he raised his head nonchalantly and glanced toward the banquet hall.
“Then why aren‘t you inside?” Lily asked.
“You‘re not either.” Benedict looked at Lily.
Although Benedict looked less happy than his previous self, he was still the same mouthy kid.
“You still owe me an explanation. Why did you quit all of a sudden? You were the one who promised that you‘d handle the job I gave you properly, but then you just disappeared without even a text or a phone call,” Lily could finally voice out her dissatisfaction after keeping it inside for such a long time.
When Benedict heard what she said, his eyes became further clouded. He did not try to explain and just mumbled, “I had my reasons. Also, I‘ve sent you the finished product and didn‘t even charge you. So, we‘re even,” Benedict said.
He was standing with his hands in his sky–blue padded jacket‘s pockets. He looked outstanding amid the snowy landscape, his blue jacket making him look younger and refreshed.
