C40 The Waters of the Ellis Family Were Muddy.

Lydia blinked in surprise as she stared at the man in the car.

The man glanced at her and looked straight ahead. "I didn't drive the small POIO that you drove yesterday."

"What?" Lydia was puzzled by the sudden question.

"If you drive the car away, how am I supposed to get back?" Reece asked again, and she finally understood.

It turned out that the man was just passing by.

Well, he was just passing by.

But... did the Tillman family lack cars?

Although there were many things that she couldn't understand, she didn't think too much about it.

She had made a clear decision for herself, so she shouldn't have any more fantasies. She didn't want to end up with a wishful thinking.

"Why did you suddenly want to go back to the Ellis family? Did something happen?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Reece asked in confusion.

"Grandma asked me to go back and discuss some things." Lydia answered honestly. Her face was still facing the window as she looked at the scenery along the way.

"How strange."

Suddenly, the man laughed.

It was as if she had already gotten used to his words.

She also tried to think about the meaning behind his words, trying to figure out what exactly he meant.

Thinking about it, he said that it was strange for her to call her back to the Ellis family to discuss something.

She shrugged. "I have long since gotten used to the fact that the people of the Ellis family don't need to go to the front. I don't need to go to the back. If I get used to it, I won't feel that it's strange, and I won't make a fuss about it."

Other than her parents, everyone else in the Ellis family was cold.

No matter if it was in her previous life or her current life, she had never changed her opinion of the Ellis family.

If it wasn't for her parents, she wouldn't have saved the Ellis family.

When Reece saw the indifference on her face, he frowned.

He had never understood her in the past, and he had never understood the Ellis family.

It was just that she knew that the Ellis family was very strict with their education. Ever since Lydia had married him, she had been kicked out of the house by Old Madam An.

At that time, he felt that the Ellis family had done nothing wrong.

But now that she thought about it, it was actually a bit cold for her.

Near the Ellis family.

Lydia was waiting outside. She saw her mother, Eliza, waiting for her. She quickly got out of the car and said, "Mom, what are you standing here for?"

"Waiting for you." Eliza was naturally happy to see her daughter. She completely forgot how cold it was outside.

"Mom, it's cold outside. Let's go inside." Lydia looked at Eliza's red nose and felt her heart ache. She pulled her mother and walked towards the room, completely forgetting about the man behind her.

It was Eliza who noticed Reece when she turned her head.

"Reece?"

Reece nodded politely. "Mom."

Her heart skipped a beat, and she froze on the spot.

She suddenly turned around and looked at the man behind her. Her face was filled with surprise.

Mom?

His mother?

In the past, he had always disdained interacting with his family.

But today, why was he so friendly and even called her by her name?

Recently, this man's behavior had become more and more abnormal, and it even made her feel a little puzzled.

"Hey, hey!" Eliza's eyes were red with excitement. She didn't know what to say for a while.

After thinking for a long time, she quickly asked, "Reece, you, you sent her here?"

"Yes."

After asking two simple questions, they only smiled awkwardly at each other because they were not familiar with each other.

In order to avoid awkwardness, Eliza quickly said, "Reece is already here. Let's go and have lunch at home."

Lydia frowned when she heard this.

She quickly held her mother's hand and smiled, "Mom, Reece is very busy. I won't eat lunch."

"Is that so?" Eliza glanced at Reece in disappointment. In the end, she still smiled, "Reece is busy. Then, we can eat next time."

"He's busy. He should still have time to eat lunch, right?"

Suddenly, Eliza was interrupted.

Everyone was stunned and looked towards the courtyard.

Janie was standing on the stairs with her walking stick, looking down at them from above.

Her turbid eyes swept across the crowd and landed on Reece. "Reece, what do you think?"

Lydia understood Janie very well.

She understood that the reason why Janie wanted to keep Reece was to use the Tillman family to help the Ellis family.

She didn't want to owe Reece a favor, so naturally, she didn't want to do the same.

She quickly stopped him with a smile, "Grandma, Reece, he..."

"Grandma, it's time to eat." Suddenly, Reece interrupted her.

Then, she was pulled into a strong embrace.

Lydia looked up at the man in surprise.

'What the hell is he doing?'

"Benny, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and tell the kitchen to cook more dishes. Today, we have to properly entertain our son-in-law."

Benny glanced at Lydia and Reece hesitantly, but in the end, he did as he was told.

Just like that, Lydia and Reece entered the gates of the Ellis family.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to them, she took a step to the right and pulled the distance between them.

However, in the next second, she was pulled back by the man.

Her shoulders slammed into the man's chest, causing her to frown.

Just as she was about to raise her head and complain, the man suddenly came over and said, "Your performance is too distant, and it will easily make the people of the Ellis family see through you. At that time, Dad and Mom will definitely have a hard time in the Ellis family."

The man glanced at her and said in a serious tone.

His words hit the spot where she was worried. Her body, which had been resisting, relaxed and obediently stayed by the man's side.

Seeing that she was no longer struggling, the man's lips curled up into a smile.

However, the smile was very light, and even Reece didn't notice it.

"You shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."

Suddenly, the little person in his arms opened her mouth and Reece was stunned for a second. He looked down at her.

"Oh?"

"The clothes of the Ellis family are stuck in the storage room. I can't wait to find someone to help them solve the problem. If you jump in at this time, I'm afraid you'll be killed." She knew her grandmother's shrewdness and power.

Even if the duck had flown away, it would still leave a mouthful of oil behind!

Reece tilted his head and looked at the woman's worried little face. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. "Are you afraid that I'll be killed?"

"...I'm afraid I owe you a favor." Lydia raised her eyes.

Their eyes met, and the man's eyes were dark and gloomy.

So that's how it was!

She was afraid that he owed her a favor, and that it would be troublesome when they got a divorce.

He grabbed her shoulders and subconsciously tightened his grip.

Lydia was in pain and frowned, "Reece, what are you doing?"

"…" The man did not answer her. He relaxed his grip a little, but he did not let go of her completely. Instead, he held her hand and followed the crowd into the Ellis family.

At this moment, in the living room.

The mother and daughter were sitting on the sofa.

Tap, tap, tap.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Viola pretended to be happy and went up to her. "Sister is back! I..."

When she saw Reece, Viola was stunned on the spot.

Especially when she glanced at Reece, her eyes were filled with mad jealousy.

Seeing Viola, Lydia seemed to have thought of something.

She leaned against the man and said gently, "Dear, you were too tired last night. Why don't you go back to my room and rest for a while?"
