StarNovelChapter 120 Chapter 120 "Have you been taking your medication recently?" Lily choked on the last sip of her soup when she heard him ask about the medication.
"Uhh.. yes." She covered her mouth with a tissue as she coughed, her eyes narrowing in confusion.
The question caught her off guard because her parents had been pressuring her about having children, so anything related to pregnancy made her particularly sensitive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Xavier's gaze seemed knowing, as though he saw through her. To him, it seemed like she was guilty. "I have work to handle tonight." A few days ago, he had indeed forgotten to check if she had been taking her medication. But since her period had just ended, it was the safe period, and the chances of her getting pregnant were very slim Lily lost her appetite the moment Xavier appeared. She was about to throw out the remaining soup, but his mention of work tonight made her pause.
Did that mean he wouldn't be returning to the bedroom to sleep? "Alright," she muttered, lowering her head to finish the soup After quickly washing the bowl, she headed upstairs to prepare for the Avelon Designs Competition ly chose apartment design.
There were various categories restaurants, malls, apartments, and more, each with its own classification. Lily The submissions for the initial selection were due in ten days. The Glenview Villa's layout popped into her mind as she thought about it. After graduation, that was the only house she had ever designed.
A mix of emotions surged within her, but she shook her head, pushing aside thoughts she shouldn't be having, and decided to design based on the most popular layout.
Tomorrow was Saturday, and with no work to worry about, she threw herself into her preparation, staying up late into the early morning hours. She had planned to wake up naturally the next day and head to the Fulton Manor, but the doorbell rang incessantly early in the morning.
The sound startled her from a deep sleep, and she groggily went downstairs to open the door.
Standing outside was Hazel, who was wearing a teal wool coat and makeup so meticulously applied it looked flawless.
"Xavier has already gone to work. Why are you still sleeping at this hour?" Without waiting for Lily to respond, Hazel pushed past her and entered the villa.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLily, who was still half-asleep, shivered as the cold air hit her when she opened the door "If you're here about the check-up, you might as well go home." She followed Hazel inside, who had already sat on the sofa, her eyes scanning the villa.
"Don't be ungrateful. When I married your dad, our family also lived in a villa just like this. But later... how could you be unaware of your good fortune?" Whenever Hazel chere, her eyes gleamed with something more than admiration. This was one of the most prestigious villa areas in Jadeford, and living here symbolized status. Lily pondered for a moment before replying, "So, according to you, even if I marry Xavier, it doesn't guarantee I'll live a glamorous life forever. Who knows, maybe the Fulton family will go bankrupt one day." "Bah!" Hazel shot up suddenly. "So, you've made up your mind to go against me, huh?" Seeing that Hazel was about to start an argument, Lily decided to deflect.
"I'm going upstairs to change. I'm heading to the Fulton Manor. You can sit here for a whille.' Hazel wouldn't stop her if she were going to the manor. This was the quickest way to end their conversation.
Hazel followed her upstairs. "Get sfood and drinks. How did your father's gift for the in-laws go over last time? If they liked it, he'll get more the next the's out of town."
Lily entered the bathroom, hastily finishing her grooming while Hazel continued her chatter from the bedroom.
Not hearing any noise from the bathroom, Hazel quietly walked over to the bedside. She opened the nightstand, rummaging around until she found a small medicine bottle. She took a photo of it and searched for the Information online.
