Chapter 170
Lily stayed silent. Whenever Lily used to visit the Fulton Manor, she would meet Emma there, and the both of
them got along swimmingly. Emma loved to joke around and would tease Lily about Xavier.
Lily would blush furiously from the teasing every time, but she would feel sweet and content on the inside.
At that moment, however, what she felt was a pang of bitterness in her chest, and her expression was somewhat
stiff.
Emina and the rest would only say things like, "Oh look. Mrs. Fulton is blushing."
"Mrs. Fulton only has eyes for Mr. Fulton."
"Mrs. Fulton spends her days doting on Mr. Fulton."
They had never said anything about how Xavier felt or did for Lily. To them, there was nothing wrong with it. After
all, even Lily herself had enjoyed it.

"Mrs. Fulton?" Lily didn't know what Emma had said, but Emma waved her hand in front of Lily's lace when the
older woman noticed her silence. "Why are you so quiet? "What?" Lily instantly snapped out of her thoughts.
Emma covered her mouth as she chuckled, "Every twe talk about Mr. Fulton, you get all shy and lost in
thought. | was asking what is it that you like about Mr. Fulton!"
Lily answered mechanically, "He's handsome. He has a great body. Even without wealth or power, he's the type
of man that women find irresistible."
Lily was only entertaining Emma, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she caught the reflection of a tall,
muscular man standing behind her.
Lily turned around and realized that Xavier had cdownstairs without her noticing. He had his hands in his
pockets. A faint smile was on his lips, and he looked to be in a good mood.
Xavier thought his guesses were correct. Lily's constant aloofness and tic attempts at divorce were only
her methods to gain his attention. He was sure that even her closeness with Terence was just a test for him.
Xavier blamed himself for losing his composure and almost letting her lead him by the nose
"Mr. Fulton, how did you not make a sound and eavesdrop on us? Mrs. Fulton is all embarrassed now," Emma
teased.
Lily turned away again. Xavier would be happy with these sorts of remarks, so there was no need for her to
explain herself. Only an inexplicable resistance welled up inside her.
She resisted the joy in Xavier's expression and Emma's teasing.
to make a trip. You can eat without me," Xavier explained.
"There are smatters in the company, so | have to
Lily turned around again and finally noticed that Xavier was dressed in a suit and tie, clearly about to head out.
"Mr. Fulton, the food is almost ready. Have your dinner first before you leave!" Emma sped up her cooking. "Just
another half an hour!"
"It's fine," Xavier was already headed to the door. He changed his shoes and walked out. The sound of his
Maybach starting soon followed and then faded into the distance.
Emma sighed and said, "He's not coming back tonight if he's leaving at this hour. He won't be able to last long
like this even if his health is good." "You can go ahead with the coolding. I'll bring it to him in the office later," Lily
said. She wasn't sure what kind of emotion made her say that.

She only knew that her words stirred up the inner conflict within her, and it threatened to tear her apart.
A part of her didn't want her to bother about Xavier, and the other desperately searched for reasons to take care
of him:
After all, she knew that when Xavier was happy, it benefited her. She could get more money and live more
comfortably.
But she also knew that when she looked for excuses, there were emotions that she deliberately buried. While she
conflicted with herself, Emma quickly finished cooking and packed the food.
"Mrs. Fulton, you should have your dinner with Mr. Fulton at the office. I've packed enough for two. Be careful on
the road." Emma shoved a thermal container into Lily's hands, and Lily had no choice but to deliver it. Lily drove
straight to Nova Group.
The bustling city grew quieter, and the towering skyscraper had lights on only at its top floor.
Lily got out of her car and headed for the entrance. After just a few steps, she suddenly saw Xavier's car coming
out from the basement parking lot.
The interior lights of the car were on. Xavier exuded an air of elegance, with a smile lingering in his eyes. He had
his body slightly turned toward Sarah to listen to her speak.
Lily's eyes happened to meet Sarah's through the car window,
