Chapter 3 This is my girlfriend
775 Words
Lily stood still, awkwardly gazing at the two people.
The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was pleasing to the eye, but it pierced her heart.
She smiled bitterly and staggered.
It turned out that in his eyes, she was just an insignificant person.
Well, that makes sense.
Four years ago, from the moment she lay naked next to his father, she and him were destined to be strangers for life.
The next morning at ten o'clock, a line of black business cars slowly drove into the Hall Mansion.
Edward Hall sat in a specially-made wheelchair with the help of two servants. His expression was as cold and solemn as ever.
Although he was over fifty years old, with gray hair on his temples, he still exuded majesty and dignity.
His face was handsome, still displaying traces of his youthful charm and elegance, together with the aura of a superior and dominant figure.
In the entire city, Edward's reputation was known to everyone. The Hall family was also the top wealthy family in the city. Their family business spanned across the country and involved in various industries. They were worthy of being called the richest in the city and even the entire country.
Lily held Robert's hand and arrived early in front of the Hall Mansion, seeing the old and stern father made Robert a little afraid. He shrank behind Lily with uncertain eyes.
She comforted him and encouraged, "Good boy, he's your dad, go and call him."
He listened to her words, his body came out, and he obediently walked in front of Edward, calling him "Dad" softly.
He reached out his fingertips, trembling slightly, gently touched Robert's little face, and his pale lips curling up slightly.
Because of the torment of illness, his body was deteriorating rapidly, his complexion was very poor, and his smile seemed forced. He looked up at Lily and calmly praised, "You raised him well, thank you for your hard work."
She smiled knowingly, humbly and respectfully replied, "It's my duty, not hard at all."
He nodded. Although his face still lacked expression, he still highly regarded Lily, his "young wife."
"Heh, what a harmonious family." The lazy and wicked voice echoed in the spacious living room, spreading circles of disdainful tones.
Daniel arrived late, holding onto Maria's waist with an elegant and casual demeanor. There was clear arrogance and hatred in his eyes. He didn't respect Edward, let alone Lily and Robert.
Lily turned around, her gaze fixed on Maria Scott's blushing face.
Last night, Maria stayed at the Hall Mansion, accompanying Daniel all the time.
Perhaps they’ve already had s*x.
Lily lowered her eyes and smiled, concealing her current inner restraint and bitterness.
Daniel glanced unintentionally and saw her slightly upturned lips. Instinctively, he clenched his fist.
"Dad, this is my girlfriend, Maria Scott, your future daughter-in-law."
He smiled brightly, speaking in a casual and playful tone, but his eyes were firm and tense.
Lily pushed Edward into the main hall, facing this destined couple.
Edward's sharp gaze glanced at Maria, his brows furrowed, and after a while, he said, "I can't control your romantic affairs. As for the choice of daughter-in-law, let Lily help with the decision. After all, she is an elder and also the mistress of this Hall Mansion. Naturally, we should ask for her opinion, right, Lily?"
Lily was stunned for a moment, unable to respond.
Edward's words were a clear display of authority to her, but also a reminder to her and Daniel that the relationship between the two of them was like a mountain and sea, and on a deeper level, it might be a test for Lily.
"I think Miss Scott is gentle, elegant, and also the daughter of the Scott Family. She and him are a perfect match. What do you think?"
Implicitly, she had no objection.
Besides, what opinion could she have!
In this family, did she have the right to refuse? No!
Edward nodded, seeming to agree, and Maria shyly grabbed Daniel by the corner of his clothes.
She timidly called out, "Hello, Mr. Hall."
"Hello, Mrs. Hall!"
In the middle of her words, she paused, probably feeling uncomfortable to treat someone who was not much older than her as a senior.
Soon, their matters were settled.
A few days later, news of Daniel Hall dating Maria Scott and introducing her to his parents was everywhere, truly stunning everyone.
Some people were happy, while others were worried.
The Scott family naturally felt happy, while those girls who admired Daniel felt worried.
Such a top-quality bachelors was so easily captured, leaving shattered hearts all around.
