Avenger's coming back

Chapter 31 Covertly Contest

Seeing the members of the Gu family asked Wayne, Lily laughed ironically. What kind of mother will give birth to what kind of child.

The anxious behavior of Jade and Frank were too obvious and disgusting.

But, Eric…

Lily turned to look at Wayne and Eric. They were both mild and warm. No one knew what Eric said, but Wayne touched his head with a smile.

Perhaps Wayne realized that there were still other people, he finally stopped talking to Eric. He looked in the direction of the Qiao family.

"Sorry, I left you alone."

"Uncle, please don't say that." Dillon smiled and said, "You just came back. It's good to have a chat with your family."

"All right. All right. No more greetings." "Go and tell the cooks to serve the dishes," he said to Simon.

"Grandpa, let me do this." Frank stood up and went straight to the kitchen.

It was almost evening, but the artificial lake was bright. Everyone at the dinner party was talking and laughing, talking something unimportant.

It was not until after dinner and everybody was enjoying the desserts and fruits that Wayne Gu brought the topic to the point.

"I've heard about the thing between Frank and Miss Claire." He said in a serious tone, "Now that you have announced your engagement in front of the media, I will not object. After all, it is related to the

reputation of the two families."

It was a deal. Everyone was happy to hear that. But no one seemed to be excited, because they could guess that he wouldn't object.

This matter had nothing to do with Lily. So she didn't care about it at all. She just listened to them quietly with no expression on her face. The same with her was Eric, who was leisurely leaning against the back of the chair with Angela. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.

"But..." He turned to look at Claire and said seriously, "The Gu family can't be married by their own wills. Even if you were engaged, the marriage still doesn't count if I don't accept it!"

All of a sudden, everyone looked at Wayne with different expressions. Even Lily looked at him in amazement.

Claire was stunned. After all, she was still a young girl. She could hardly stand such pressure and her face suddenly became gloomy.

Lucia's face darkened, but she still smiled and said, "You are right. My daughter is still young. If she does something wrong, please forgive her."

Wayne glance at her and said, "She didn't do anything wrong. And she doesn't need my forgiveness."

Lucia got anxious and said, "Uncle, we have told the engagement in front of all the media. We can't repent, right?"

"Didn't you hear me clearly?" Asked Wayne unhappily.

"I..."

"Uncle, I know what you mean." Lucia wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Dillon. He smiled and said, "We will educated her well. Please don't worry."

"Yes." Wayne answered and continued, "You have ten years. If she can't meet my requirements after ten years, she will never be allowed to marry into the Gu family!"

"Don't worry. We will cultivate Claire at your request." Said Dillon.

Seeing what happened, Lily felt so sorry for Claire. She could be used as the people who connected interests of both families and didn't have her own life.

After finishing his words, Wayne felt tired and went back to his room to have a rest. Richard and Angela thought it was meaningless to stay here, so they also went back to their room.

Under normal circumstances, they would not live here, but when Wayne came back, they chose to stay.

Eric didn't plan to stay here, but he looked at Lily and chose to sit quietly near the artificial lake not far away.

Dillon's face was not good, Lucia even worse, Claire's face became a little pale, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into an extremely low level.

Seeing this, Simon stepped forward and said, "Please don't blame my dad's bad temper."

"Yes, yes." Jade said quickly, "He has high expectations. But don't worry. Claire is definitely able to marry into the Gu family."

Lucia's face brightened when she heard her words. "I'm not worried about her at all. I know what kind of person Claire is. But your father's words are really disappointing."

Although she intended to use Claire to get close to Frank to bring benefits to the Qiao family, she did not want to be looked down upon by Wayne, but what he said really pissed her off.

"We understand your father's request. Let's not talk about it now." Dillon's tone also softened a lot.

"Yes, that's it. Let's stop talking about it." Quickly, he turned to look at Frank and said, "Go and comfort Claire. She is scared by your grandfather's words."

Following his father's words, Frank walked to Claire and took her hand, "Please don't take grandpa's words to heart. As long as I love you, he won't object to us. Let's go, I'll take you to the lake."

"Yes." Claire nodded shyly. She felt much better with his company.

For a moment, the atmosphere returned to the joking atmosphere. With the comfort of Frank, Claire's eyes were beaming with pleasure.

Lily sat bored, and saw Eric, who was also sitting nearby, without thinking. She walked over, maybe tonight she could only say a few words.

"Why don't you go back?" Lily sat down beside him and looked at the lake in front of him. The lake was microwave and looked beautiful under the light.

"Enjoy the night view." Eric turned to look at her.

Lily smiled and said, "Very beautiful?"

"Not bad." He answered.

Somehow, Lily felt that what he said was not the truth. Based on his character, how could he stay here and enjoy the night view? Besides, he had probably seen the night scene of this artificial lake many times.

Lily loved to see the night view at the artificial lake when she married into the Gu family. But she was pushed into the water later and stopped loving the lake. As for the person who pushed her…

She turned to look at Claire, who was held by Frank and bowed her head shyly. At that time, she simply thought that she accidentally pushed her down.

Now she came to realize that she was so foolish at that time.

"What are you laughing at?" Looking at her smile, Eric could not help asking.

"What?" Lily turned around and looked at him. "Nothing. I was thinking about the past and thought I was a fool."

"The past?" Leaning against the back of the chair leisurely, Eric turned his head to look at her.

"Yes, I was silly before..." Looking away from his face, Lily smiled with self mockery. Looking ahead, she was lost in thought. "I fell in love with someone in the past, but he had been colluding with other women to cheat me from the beginning to the end. But I just let them fool me."

Looking at her, Eric's eyebrows twisted in an almost invisible way. He looked subconsciously at the two people not far away from her. Subconsciously, he felt that the two people she was talking about were Frank and Claire.

He looked back at her face and listened to her quietly. He suddenly felt sorry for her, at this time she looked a little untrue, making people want to hold her firmly.

Not far away, the Qiao couple were still chatting with the Gu couple. No one knew what they were talking about, and all of them had a smile on their faces. Only Eden sat quietly.

On the other side, Frank put his hand on Claire's waist and said something in an intimate way, which made her often lower her head and burst into laughter.

"Claire, wait a moment. I have something for you." Frank released his hands from Claire's and said mysteriously.

"Really?" She looked at Frank with surprise.

"Wait for me. I'll go to my room to get it." With these words, Frank turned around and ran towards his room.

Looking at his back, Claire smiled with satisfaction. She didn't expect that he would prepare her a gift.

She turned around and looked at the lake. She was so excited that she wanted to scream out, but she didn't because the elders were not far away. However, when she turned around and saw the two people sitting and chatting, the smile on her face disappeared.

The look in Eric's eyes was very unusual. It was easy to tell that he had feelings for Lily.

"Humph, you're such a bitch."! Claire let out a scornful Snort and her face flashed a smile. She took a look in the direction of Frank, noticing that he was still not out. So, she walked towards them.

"Sister." Walking up to Lily, Claire said to her with a smile, "I see. You and Eric are chatting here."

Lily, who was talking to Eric, raised her head and took a quick look at her. She frowned and asked, "What's up?"

Lily didn't want to pretend to be intimate with her when there was no one else present. Even though there was Eric, she didn't have to pretend in front of him.

"Can't I talk to you for nothing?" Claire looked at Lily innocently. "I haven't seen you for a few days. I have something to tell you."

"Oh, then what do you want to say?" Lily looked at her indifferently.

"Of course it's the words between me and my sister." She smiled as she stretched out her head to take a look at Eric, "I can't say anything when Eric is here. Sister, how about we go there to have a talk?"

"No need. You can tell me what you want." Lily refused bluntly.

A touch of embarrassment flashed across Claire's face. She gave Lily a resentful look, and then put on an embarrassed expression. "We are girls? It's not good for Eric to hear that."

At this moment, Eric stood up and said, "Go ahead."

With those words, he glanced at Claire unhappily. He took a few steps and sat down again within ten meters from them. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
