C119 Old Mr. Tillman Signed the Divorce Agreement.
"Reece..."
Just as Lydia was about to stop him, Reece took advantage of the opportunity to nibble on her lips.
She pushed his chest with her slender fingers, trying to distance herself from him. However, she was quickly pulled back by him again.
The two of them kissed again.
This time, the man's kiss was even more intense and domineering than the one before. It was like a storm that was sweeping across her lips.
For a second, her mind was blank.
She stared at him in a daze, and the only thing that echoed in her mind was his low and hoarse voice. He said, "Don't... Don't..."
He said, "Don't... Don't..."
Those words completely broke through all her defenses. Her heart skipped a beat, and her entire mind was in a mess.
If she had doubted his feelings in the past, she could clearly feel the seriousness of this man at this moment.
However, such seriousness was heavy and uneasy for Lydia.
No... No.
She tried to hide again, but she realized that she had nowhere to hide.
In order to stop this kiss, Lydia panicked and bit on the man's lower lip.
As if he felt the pain, Reece's movements paused.
Lydia took the opportunity to push the man beside her away and reminded him, "Reece, we've already divorced."
"Lydia..."
"We've already ended."
Reece wanted to say something, but Lydia interrupted him.
If she had expressed herself clearly in the past, he might have misunderstood her. But today, he might as well make things clear.
She really didn't want to drag things on any longer.
However, she didn't expect that the room would instantly turn silent.
Only when she heard the sound of a glass falling to the ground did she realize that her phone was still on.
Presumably, Author had heard the conversation.
She picked up her phone and wanted to hang up the call. However, when she saw the words "Old Mr. Tillman" on the screen, her heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale.
Why? Why was it Grandfather?
Could it be that they had accidentally dialed when they were fighting over the phone?
This...
"Cough, cough, cough..." At this moment, Old Mr. Tillman's anxious coughing sounded from the microphone, followed by the flustered footsteps of Mrs. Tillman, "Grandfather, what happened? Why are you coughing blood?"
"Grandfather!"
Hearing Lydia's words, Reece's cold eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked at her.
"You two... Come back immediately. I have something to ask you." Old Mr. Tillman hung up the phone after he finished speaking, followed by an even more intense cough.
Every time he coughed, he felt as if someone had ruthlessly grabbed his lungs. It was so painful that his brain could not take it.
"Master, let's go to the hospital." Seeing how uncomfortable he was, Ora suggested worriedly.
However, Old Mr. Tillman quickly waved his hand and leaned against the sofa. "I need to wait for them to come back."
"This..."
"Take this back to Livia's room." Old Mr. Tillman handed the divorce agreement to Ora and reminded her, "When they come back, don't mention the divorce agreement."
"Yes."
"Alright, go."
Old Mr. Tillman waved his hand at Mrs. Liu, and with a complicated expression, he closed his eyes.
At this moment, Lydia was listening to the beeping sound on her phone. She was anxious.
She looked up and saw the cold man beside her. Although they didn't say anything, they both went downstairs tacitly.
"Lydia, you guys came down. Come... Mommy's making some silver ear lotus soup. You two can have some."
"Mom, we're a bit in a hurry, so we'll be going back first." Lydia smiled and pointed to the ceiling. "Grandma, please tell her later."
"Ah, what happened?" Eliza's heart tightened when she saw that the two of them didn't look well.
"The company is in a hurry and needs to be dealt with." Lydia was about to explain when Reece pulled her into his arms and said faintly.
Hearing that, Eliza secretly sighed in relief. "Okay, okay... You two should go back."
Lydia had no choice but to admit that Reece's explanation was a relief to her mother.
Now that the entire Tillman family was in trouble, she couldn't let the Ellis family get into trouble as well.
Just like that, she allowed the man to hold her hand until they entered the car.
The moment the door closed, the man's hand loosened.
"Let's go home."
"Yes, sir!"
The man's deep voice fell, and the driver's back turned cold. He immediately started the car and rushed back to the Tillman family as fast as he could.
The two of them remained silent throughout the entire journey, and the atmosphere became tense and heavy.
The distance between the Ellis family and the Tillman family was thirty minutes. In the past, Lydia had never felt that it was far, but today, she felt that it was exceptionally far.
Why haven't we arrived yet? Why haven't we arrived yet?
Perhaps it was because of her nervousness, but she clenched her fists tightly again.
"Grandfather will be fine." Reece glanced at her tightly clenched hands and said faintly.
Lydia was stunned for a second before her eyes turned red.
Although she was not related to Old Mr. Tillman by blood, they were more like family.
In her previous life, she had been protected and doted on by her grandfather. If her grandfather were to get into trouble in this life...
She would never forgive herself.
"Mr. Theo, can you drive faster?" Lydia looked up and urged the driver in front of her. Her tears, which she had been trying to hold back, burst out of her eyes.
Reece gently wiped the tears from her face. "Grandfather will feel even more heartbroken when he sees you." At this moment, he felt even more heartbroken.
Afraid that her grandfather would feel sorry for her, Lydia quickly forced her tears back.
Not only did she cry, but it was also because of Reece. At this moment, she was no longer as nervous and uneasy as she was before. Her heart slowly calmed down and she began to think of a way to explain it to her grandfather.
After thinking of countless ways to explain it, in the end, it was still overturned by Lydia.
She decided that it was better to act according to the situation. Her primary task was to stabilize her grandfather's emotions and prevent his illness from worsening.
The two of them got out of the car and quickly entered the living room.
"Cough …" "You're back?" As soon as she stepped into the living room, Old Mr. Tillman asked weakly.
Lydia pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at the old man on the sofa. She was shocked by the old man's pale face, which did not have any trace of blood.
"Grandfather." She quickly went up to him and instructed the servants with incomparable concern, "Prepare the car and go to the hospital."
"There's no need." Old Mr. Tillman grabbed her hands and stared at her reddened eyes. "What happened to you two?"
Facing Old Mr. Tillman's questioning, Lydia bit her lips and fell into a dilemma.
How could she tell her grandfather?
If she were to tell the truth, would her grandfather's weak body be able to withstand such a blow?
But if she didn't tell him... How could she explain it?
"Grandfather, I and Lydia..."
"Shut up!" Just as Reece opened his mouth, Old Mr. Tillman handed him a cold knife.
Although Old Mr. Tillman was old, he was still very intimidating.
But soon, the old man started to cough violently again because he was angry. His face was about to twist, but he still held onto Lydia's hand tightly. "I, I... I want to hear it from Lydia herself."
Lydia pursed her lips. "..."
