Chapter 1146: Chapter 1149: Accidentally Boarded the Wrong Boat (Extra 1) Chapter 1146: Chapter 1149: Accidentally Boarded the Wrong Boat (Extra 1) The man seemed to think of something, a hint of a smile appearing in his ink-blue eyes.
“Now, I can only hope that she comes to snatch the groom. You don't understand Erina; she's… very strong. Without pushing her, she might never want me back in her lifetime.”
A smile appeared on Richard Coldwell's usually frosty face for the first time.
But that bitter smile was more sigh-inducing than crying.
“You… you don't need to be too sad. She seems to like you too, and she might really show up.”
Lily seemed to somewhat understand the relationship between Richard Coldwell and Martha Barnes now.
It looked like their separation was due to some misunderstanding; Lily originally thought that it was Richard Coldwell who had initiated the breakup.
But now it seemed that the breakup had been proposed by Martha Barnes.
And the reason Richard Coldwell had asked her to pretend to be his fiancee was to force Martha Barnes to see her true feelings.
“I'm not sad,” Richard Coldwell said, his ink-blue pupils betraying no emotion.
He looked at Lily and said word by word, “I know that on the day of the wedding, Martha Barnes will definitely come.”
“Uh, probably. Wait, what wedding, are you actually going to have a wedding?” Lily realized that something was off.
She looked at Richard Coldwell, her eyes wide with shock.
“I will announce the wedding externally, of course, it's all fake. But to avoid raising Martha Barnes' suspicion, Miss Redington, I must borrow your identity at that time. You promised me this, guaranteed by the Reddington family.”
The initial agreement between them had staked their families' reputations.
Lily felt like she had boarded a pirate ship but was powerless to do anything as their initial alliance had been secured using their family reputations.
In Europe, these old families care most about family credibility.
“You're just trying to trick Martha Barnes into the trap; the fewer people know about it, the better, don't stir up a storm in the city. I will talk to Aidan Lucas on that side. If he asks, you must explain it clearly to me.”
“Okay, no problem.”
Thus, the two reached an agreement. Richard Coldwell was to send Lily back, but Lily didn't want to entangle with him any further.
She said she wanted to walk around nearby, so they parted ways.
“Ah, really unlucky, how did I provoke Richard Coldwell.”
Lily turned to the large shopping mall next to the hotel. While complaining, she called Aidan Lucas.
Just as she was about to press the call button, she suddenly realized that Aidan Lucas was abroad at the moment, and there was a time difference with the calls.
“Forget it, I'll just go browse the children's clothes section instead. I'll buy some clothes for Ben Lucas, Abbie, and Lulu.”
Children grow up quickly, and Lily liked to dress her three treasures beautifully; the clothes she bought home almost piled up into a small mountain.
After browsing through two shops and carrying shopping bags, she accidentally ran into a familiar figure squatting at a corner as she turned a corner.
Soft sobs reached her ears.
That small figure was curled up in the corner, head buried, with long hair covering her crying visage.
Lily halted, unable to help walking over.
“…Erina?” Lily called tentatively.
She wasn't sure, as she had only met Martha Barnes once before.
And from what she had heard from Richard Coldwell, Martha Barnes was supposed to have a weak appearance but an extremely strong and even powerful inner strength.
A girl strong enough to snatch the groom surely wouldn't be crying here, would she?
Indeed, she called out, and the girl crying with her head down didn't lift her head.
Lily slightly relieved, it seemed she was mistaken, it wasn't Martha Barnes crying.
She was about to leave, but the girl squatting on the ground suddenly stopped crying.
Lily saw the girl lift her head, revealing her true face.
The misty black eyes, pitifully staring at her.
“Lily…” the girl called her, her voice as soft and gentle as her name.
“Can I ask you for a favor?”
