C118 I Don't Allow You to like Someone Else!

Theresa's eyes lit up when she heard Eliza's words. She quickly added, "Big sister-in-law is really thoughtful. If Reece accompanies Ava to M Nation for a business trip, this collaboration will definitely end perfectly."

As Theresa spoke, she deliberately changed the topic back to Lydia and secretly pressured her, "You think so, right, Lydia?"

At this point, it was difficult for her to reject him.

If she were to refuse, Theresa would probably cry in front of her grandmother and complain about her daughter's ruthlessness and lack of filial piety. She would also blame her for not being able to help out the Ellis family.

She had spent a lot of effort to establish her image as a good child in front of the old lady, and it was likely that her image would be tarnished.

Of course, image was a small matter.

If she had guessed correctly, after crying and complaining to Theresa, she would definitely suggest Viola to her grandmother to go to America.

In this way, she could secretly complete the task to win the old lady's heart and pave the way for Viola to be able to stand firm outside.

It had to be said that Theresa's plan was very smart. No matter what she did, she would always win.

Just as she was thinking about how she should respond to Theresa's question, she suddenly felt her hand being grabbed by Reece.

"Second Aunt, Second Uncle's old legs are not suitable for a business trip in America at this time of the year. However, Lian Lian's left leg is also very sensitive to cold." The man paused mid-sentence, and his cold gaze landed on Theresa.

When their eyes met, Theresa's body suddenly tightened.

Although Reece had only said half of what he wanted to say, his eyes had already expressed everything.

How dare he let his wife go to suffer?

How could Theresa, who was as smart as she was, not understand the man's protective instincts?

She forced her fear away and squeezed out two teardrops, sobbing, "Aiyo, look at my brain. How could I forget about the old illness of Lydia? If I can't go to M Country, then Big Brother will have to go to M Country for business."

As Theresa spoke, her eyes reddened as she looked at Benny.

Hearing this, the hand under her table tightened.

Second Aunt had not tricked her, but she had already changed her target to her father!

Because of her previous life, she had been able to see through her second uncle's true colors. However, her father did not know about it.

As the eldest son of the Ellis family, her father would definitely agree to handle the matters of the Ellis family.

If that was the case, then in the event that Theresa had really done something to this business, her father might not be able to escape safely.

If she took on this business, she would have to be careful and ask Reece for advice. The chances of her father not being punished by the Ellis family would be lower.

Furthermore, even if something went wrong, his grandmother would still sell him to the Tillman family and not punish him too much.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lydia smiled and looked up at Theresa. "Second Aunt, my dad still needs to take care of the company. Don't use him for business trips. I'll go."

"This...your left leg..." Hearing that Lydia had agreed, Theresa was overjoyed, but she still pretended to be worried and looked at Lydia.

Lydia smiled indifferently. "It's fine. I just need to walk a little more."

"Then we'll have to count on Ava." Theresa took the opportunity to push this matter to Lydia.

Lydia narrowed her eyes and smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes.

"Don't talk about work at the dining table in the future. It will affect my mood. We should talk after dinner!" At this moment, the usually silent Janie rolled her eyes at Blain and his wife.

She reached out her hand and picked up a piece of pork and placed it in her bowl. Her stern face turned into a smile. "Little Violet, are you hungry? Come and eat first."

"Thank you, Grandma." She smiled sweetly.

When she saw the happy and harmonious relationship between the two of them, a sinister look flashed across Theresa's eyes.

But soon, this sinister look was hidden under a fake smile, "Come, Lydia, eat some more braised pork."

After the meal, Lydia's smile froze on her face.

After the meal, she took the opportunity to go back to the second floor while Reece was being dragged along by the Ellis family.

Lying on the bed, she closed her eyes and rubbed her aching face.

The sunlight shone through the glass window and fell on her body. It was neither eye-piercing nor uncomfortable. After a while, she fell asleep on the bed.

When she woke up again, it was already three in the afternoon.

She stretched herself and got out of bed. She wanted to wake up and get up, but the phone rang.

The caller was none other than Author.

Lydia hesitated for a second when she saw the screen, but she still picked up the phone in the end. "Is something the matter?"

"Yes." Author leaned against the side of the luxury car and smiled wickedly. "Little cutie, I missed you. This should be considered a matter, right?"

Facing the teasing of Author, Lydia felt a headache coming on.

She knew that she shouldn't have picked up the phone.

How could a person who was not serious have something serious to do? He must be bored and wanted to use her as a joke.

"If you are very free, you can count the sheep. I really don't have time to coax a child." It was a baby.

Listening to Lydia's response, the Author on the other end of the phone was filled with helplessness and disappointment.

He missed her so much.

After the fight with his father, he was in a bad mood. At this moment, he wanted to see her as if he had gone crazy.

However, she didn't believe him.

The Author secretly smiled bitterly. When he raised his head to look at the gloomy sky, he resumed his cynical expression and said, "It doesn't matter. It's fine as long as you don't have time. After all, I still have to coax our child."

Hearing this, she could only smile helplessly.

She had no choice but to let him go.

At this moment, Reece walked up to her.

Since the door was open, he didn't notice that he had walked in.

Not only that, but the conversation between Lydia and Author was also heard by the man. The man's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

"Heh, heh..."

"Heh, heh, Author, that's enough."

Lydia's sweet laughter continued to ring out from the balcony, but Reece's expression was getting darker and darker. It was as if the sky had turned gray, and he could pour water out of his hands at any moment.

In the next second, the man suddenly moved and walked towards Lydia.

He reached out with his hand and took her phone, then hung up the call.

Lydia was stunned for a moment, then frowned unhappily. "Reece, what right do you have to hang up my phone?"

Reece did not respond. He raised his hand and threw the phone into the trash can.

Lydia's pupils suddenly widened. There was only dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Was there something wrong with him?

He threw her phone away just like that?

With a dark expression, she lifted her leg and walked towards the trash can. She bent down to pick up her phone.

In the next second, her wrist was grabbed by a warm hand. Then, she was forcefully pulled by the man and pressed against the wall.

The pain on her back made her furious.

She glared at the man above her. "Reece, are you crazy? What are you trying to do?"

"You're not allowed to fall in love with someone else," he said in a low voice, his domineering voice echoing across the room.

Before she could react, Reece leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
