The Exclusive Love of You

04The Unpredictable Consequences

Once you truly provoke the person in front of you, the consequences are absolutely unpredictable.

"If you ever really get angry, it's best to let me know in advance," Max paused and said. At that time, he would definitely run as far away as possible.

Ignoring Max's words, Ethan lifted his feet and walked straight ahead, completely disregarding the person shouting behind him. Suddenly, a white baseball hidden under the pink petals made Ethan stop. On the baseball, there was a row of black signatures.

"What's wrong, Ethan?"

"Nothing, just saw a baseball that someone is looking for."

The gloomy sky indicated that it was already evening. Lily lifted her wrist and glanced at her watch; it was 6:15 PM.

Colleagues from the news media and record company had already left, leaving her alone. The reason was none other than the boy in front of her—

"Woo... my ball... the ball is gone! Wuwuwu..." The little boy was still crying, his face covered in tears.

Such a mournful cry made her want to cry along with him.

"I'm really sorry for making you stay," the orphanage director said apologetically.

"Not at all, not at all," she waved her hands repeatedly.

"Big sister, you didn't keep your promise. You said you would help me find the ball," the little boy cried out.

"I went to look, but I couldn't find it. How about this, big sister will buy you a new one?" Lily coaxed.

"No, I don't want it. That ball is special." It had the signature of his favorite baseball player!

"Nero is usually quite stubborn, so..."

"It's okay, I understand. That baseball is very important to Nero," Lily stood up and ran towards the orphanage gate. "I'll go look again."

"Big sister, can you help Nero find the ball?" Several other children looked at Lily with hopeful eyes.

"Nero usually treasures that ball. It's Nero's treasure!"

"Yes, big sister, please help Nero."

The soft voices of the children, filled with anxiety and unease, seemed to make her their only lifeline. And Nero, with his red, rabbit-like eyes, struck a chord in her heart.

Pursing her lips, Lily stood up and ran towards the orphanage gate. "I'll go look again."

Although she was still afraid of seeing Ethan again, it seemed that the only way to find the ball was to return to that villa.

She rang the doorbell, but there was no response. Lily, unwilling to give up, rang it again, but still no response.

God, was she really going to have to climb the wall again? The thought of being caught in the morning made her shiver. But thinking of Nero's red eyes, Lily resigned herself to her wall-climbing mission.
