Chapter 2684
Seeing this, Fade couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What did your dad say to you?"
Lily sighed softly and replied, "Nothing serious. My dad wants me to go on several blind dates."
"Blind dates?"
Hearing this, he felt his heart skip a beat for no reason.
"Sister Lily, if you don't want to, I can give him a call. I'm sure he'll understand."
She waved her hands. "No, he didn't force me. He just says that I'm getting old and so he wants to introduce some men to me. Whether I want to or not, it's up to me. But..."
"Do none of them appeal to you?" He asked.
She glanced at him and replied casually, "Once you've had a taste of the best, nothing else is worth looking at."
"I already have my eye on someone, so anyone else just never feels right to me."
"Do you get what I mean?"
Looking at her affectionate eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and a warm feeling welled up.
She had once confessed to him.
However, at the time, he had already married Quin. Hence, she had always kept her feelings to herself. She never crossed the boundary between them.
She could hide her feelings, but it would always be there. Just like wine, it got stronger as time passed.
Lately, Jimmy had been trying to introduce Lily to some men and she had tried meeting them with an open mind.
However, after meeting them, she realized that the person in her heart could never be replaced.
"Sister Lily, I..." Even though Fade was already at the Lord Level, he was still very clueless when it came to relationships. He had no idea how to respond to Lily's feelings.
Seeing his flustered look, she said slowly, "I understand."
"But, can you stay here tonight?"
"Uh, I..." He was startled.
She smiled faintly. "Don't worry, I won't do anything to hurt Quin. I just want you to keep me company for the night. You can just sit there quietly. You don't have to do anything."
After a moment's thought, he nodded. "Okay, I'll stay."
She smiled and pointed to the other side of the double bed. "It's cold at night. Hop in!"
"1-1 don't think that's a good idea!" He refused.
"Do you not trust me? Or, do you not trust yourself?" She rolled her eyes and asked. Fade was speechless for a moment. Eventually, he climbed into the bed and sat next to Lily. The two chatted softly, from their initial acquaintance in Bay City to their various encounters. Bit by bit, the memories slowly resurfaced in their minds, leaving warm smiles on their faces. Soon after, it began to get late.
Both of them were a little tired. Thus, they closed their eyes and slowly slipped under the quilt.
At that moment, Lily suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Fade, who was lying beside her. Her mouth moved slightly as she whispered. "I'm sorry!"
Then, with a faint swoosh, she reached out her fair arm and gently moved over.
The next morning, Fade sat on the bed and looked at the sunshine coming through the curtain. He rubbed his eyebrows with a heavy head.
On the double bed, there was no one beside him.
However, he knew very clearly that in the early morning, Lily had carefully got out of bed. After changing the white sheets that had been stained red, she left a letter behind and slipped away.
With his strength, no matter how careful she had been, there was no way she could have avoided him.
However, after what happened the night before...
Like her, he didn't know how to face her for a moment, so he pretended to be asleep and ignored her departure.
After putting on his clothes, he picked up the letter sitting on the bedside.
He opened it. There weren't many words on it as she had probably written it in a hurry.
"Fade, I'm sorry for what I did. I'm
sorry to
done that, but I really eve Quin. I know I shouldn't bet
el:
control myself."
"Two years ago, when I confessed my feelings to you, I firmly believed that time would heal everything."
"But a few days ago, when my dad asked me to go on a blind date, I realized that you have never left my heart."
"I don't want to spend the rest of my life with someone I don't love. It's unfair to either of
US."
"I also know that I can't compare to Quin, much less to you. I don't expect to be your wife."
"So this is the path I have chosen. This is the only way I can live out my life with the person I love."
"Don't contact me because I... I don't know how to face you."
After reading it, Fade sighed, picked up his phone, and dialed Lily's number.
Although she told him not to contact her, he couldn't just put this out of his mind after he had taken advantage of her.
The phone rang for a while but no one answered.
Then, he made several more calls, but to no avail.
In the end, he left a voice message. "Sister Lily, I'm also responsible for what happened last night. I hope we the right time to talk."

"How are the preparations going?"
"Good news. The big shot from Red Flower Society in Micovia has agreed. He will soon make his way to Jade City."
"Great. With his help, the negotiation should go much smoother."
"Don't be too optimistic. Fade is as stubborn as a mule. He's not easy to deal with."
"Don't be afraid. Fade might be tough, but since he has agreed to negotiate, there must be room to turn things around."
"By the way, how are things going in Jade City?"
"They are just a bunch of fence-sitters who can be easily settled with some money. No big deal."
"How about the newspapers, the TV stations, and the media websites? Have they all been notified?"
"All arranged, as well as the students of Jade University."
"Mm, that's good. This time, we must be united. We can't let Fade get whatever he
wants."
"Got it!"
"Okay, let's call it a day!"
