C88 He Had Lost Her!

"Heh, heh... Hubby, don't mess around. Let's discuss this problem at home." Lydia forced a smile and held Reece's hand. She winked at him to signal him to stop acting.

However, the man didn't seem to notice her hint. His eyes were as cold as water. "Why? Are you unwilling?"

"..." The corner of Lydia's mouth twitched.

Young man, why couldn't you stop acting when your addiction to acting has gotten the better of you?

While the two of them were in a stalemate, they were stunned by what they saw.

Especially Viola, her entire face turned pale.

How could these two people look like they were going to divorce?

Flirting!

Suddenly, she clenched her fists around her waist and her eyes were filled with jealousy.

What was so good about her?

Why did so many people like her?

She did not understand. What was so bad about her that all the good men were taken by that cripple? Why was she in such a bad situation?

The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became.

She calmed herself down and looked at Lydia again with a smile. "Sister and Brother-in-law are arguing about the child. It scared me to death. I thought it was because of the scandal between Author and her."

On the surface, Viola's words seemed to be happy for the two of them, but in reality, she was trying to provoke Reece with the scandal.

Lydia had already seen through her little scheme.

Lydia's red lips were about to speak back when her waist was pulled into the man's arms.

She blinked in confusion. "???"

Reece ignored her expression and raised the corner of his mouth. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?"

Lydia was stunned.

Friend?

Who?

Seeing that his gaze landed on Viola, her eyebrows knitted into a ponytail.

What was going on? He didn't know Viola?

Young man, are you kidding me?

"Lydia, let me introduce you."

Seeing that the man was persistent, the corner of Lydia's mouth twitched. "My cousin, Viola."

"That Viola who framed you?"

Lydia was speechless.

Janie was speechless.

Vera, who had an ugly expression, was speechless.

For a moment, the living room was dead silent.

Reece narrowed his eyes, and a layer of frost appeared in his eyes. "What? Is the Ellis family going to oppose me, Reece?"

Noticing the man's displeasure, Janie was startled.

Reece's thoughts were unpredictable, making it hard for people to figure out what he was thinking. How could he say that he was in the right with Reece?

Although she was surprised, after all, she had experienced dozens of years of hardships.

She smiled and asked, "Reece, where did you hear this from? When did I ever want to oppose you?"

"Did Loran not bring a message to Grandma? The person who schemed against me, Reece, is not worthy of the surname 'Li'! Grandma, you still allow her to enter the Ellis family. Isn't it embarrassing for me?" The man's voice was not loud, but the coldness in his voice was like a blizzard.

In an instant, the living room of the Ellis family had turned into a terrifying icehouse. Everyone in the living room was on their toes.

Janie remembered that Loran had told her that Xu Yi had a secret relationship with another woman. At that time, she understood the man's hidden meaning.

He chased Viola out of the Ellis family.

At that time, she did indeed do that.

However, when she saw that Reece did not look for Viola again, she thought that this matter had passed.

In addition to that, Viola had been trying to please her every day. She was so happy that she allowed Viola to return to the Ellis family to visit her parents.

Unexpectedly, Reece had bumped into her.

Who would have thought that this man would be so angry because of this?

Moreover, it seemed that if she didn't give Reece an explanation today, the Ellis family would really change hands tomorrow.

After weighing the pros and cons, Janie turned to look at the servant beside her, "Are you blind? How can you let an outsider enter the Ellis family? Hurry up and kick this person out!"

"...Yes!" Even if the servant had complaints, he could only endure it and walked towards Viola. "Cough, cough, Miss, please."

Viola's face suddenly turned as white as paper.

At this moment, she finally understood what Reece meant when he asked who she was.

He was purposely putting pressure on the Ellis family and making her embarrassed.

Sensing this, she clenched her fists and her nails dug into her flesh.

"Why? Are you unwilling to leave?" Seeing that Viola was unmoving, Reece's expression turned cold. "Are you planning to throw the Ellis family out?"

It was already difficult enough for her, and if she was thrown out again, it would be even more difficult.

With a pale face, Viola turned around and left.

However, the moment she turned around, a huge sense of humiliation surged up from the bottom of her heart.

At this moment, Viola's already ugly face was completely drained of color. It was frighteningly pale.

She had never dreamed that she would be humiliated and left the Ellis family in such a way.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt ashamed. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.

After Viola left, the man's expression finally relaxed a little.

His face was better now, and so was Janie. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "Reece, why don't you stay for lunch? It's been a long time since we have a meal together."

Reece nodded and said, "I'll listen to Grandma's arrangements." He made Janie so happy that she couldn't be any happier.

Because of Reece's appearance, the scandal between her and Author was solved.

Naturally, the crisis had been resolved.

However, she was surrounded by the entire Ellis family during lunchtime.

"Lydia, you are not young anymore. You can consider getting a child." Janie looked at Lydia with a smile. She was so loving, "You think so?"

The corner of her mouth twitched as she quickly declined, "Grandma, I still have not finished my studies. I don't need to be in a hurry."

"You can temporarily suspend your studies." At this moment, Benny added another knife to the wound. The smile on her face started to stiffen, while Reece's face was filled with a pleasant expression.

He raised his hand and picked up a big chicken drumstick for his father-in-law.

In the past, it was always the people from the Ellis family who served food to Reece. He had never received such a high treatment.

Although his actions were small, they were like a hydrogen bomb exploding in the hearts of the people of the Ellis family.

He didn't even need to say a single word. The entire Ellis family instantly understood what he meant.

They immediately fell to one side.

Pioneer!

"Lydia, don't worry. After you give birth to the baby, I'll personally take care of you. When the time comes, you don't need to be distracted. You can go to school." Her beloved mother added another knife to Reece's plate. The corner of her mouth twitched.

Was this group of people so united?

She pinched the space between her eyebrows. She had no appetite facing the table full of delicious food.

After lunch, Lydia casually found an excuse to leave.

She sat in the car and took a deep breath.

Phew!

Finally, her ears were at peace.

She rubbed her forehead and leaned her back against the seat. She looked at Reece and asked, "Has the date of the first-generation diamond ring store been set?"

"Yes, it will officially be sold on May 20th."

"There's only one and a half months left until May 20th. The promotion advertisement for the diamond ring must start filming." Lydia calculated the time and muttered to herself.

Her eyes were so dazzling that it was hard to ignore them.

Under the sunlight, the man swept his gaze across her beautiful features and finally landed on her cherry red lips. Her calm heart was filled with waves of emotions.

He leaned over in a daze and wanted to kiss her.

But in the next second, the woman suddenly raised her head. "The script for the advertisement... Uh..."

Her lips clashed with each other.

Lydia's eyes widened and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Thump!

Then, she regained her calmness.

She moved her face to the side and apologized, "I'm sorry."

There was no other emotion on the woman's face other than apologies. A trace of disappointment appeared in Reece's eyes.

It seemed that her heart had truly given up on him.

Suddenly, his heart felt heavy as if it had been stuffed with a stone.

Reece nodded and sat down. He looked into the distance and said, "I'll send you back to school."

"Alright."

The atmosphere between the two of them had reached a freezing point because of a kiss.

Lydia lowered her head and played with her fingers to pass the time. She was still embarrassed. Soon, the car arrived at the University of Goulcrest.

When the car stopped, she pursed her lips and continued to ask, "When can you give me the script for the advertisement? I need to study it in advance and prepare to shoot the advertisement."

"I'll send you the email tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you."

Lydia smiled politely and unbuckled her seatbelt.

The next second, her arm was grabbed by the man behind her.

She paused slightly and looked at him in confusion. "Is there anything else?"

"...Lydia, the progress of the advertisement cannot be delayed. Are you sure that Author will participate?" Reece's mouth opened and he wanted to say some truthful words, but he changed his mind.

Lydia nodded. "Don't worry, I won't affect the progress."

Reece grunted and let go of her arm.

Then, he watched as Lydia dragged her injured left leg and limped into University of Goulcrest.

The man was filled with mixed feelings. The thing that he, Reece, had failed the most in his life was...

To lose the woman he loved the most in the world.

And he couldn't find her again.

He smiled bitterly and lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.

Recently, his addiction to smoking had gotten worse and worse. He was so addicted to it that he couldn't even quit it.

...

After Lydia entered University of Goulcrest, she returned to her dormitory.

She sat on the bed, but she was in a daze. Her mind was filled with the unintentional kiss just now.

She could clearly feel the driver's heart beating. This reaction made her uneasy and even flustered.

Ever since she had been reborn, she had tried her best to pull him out of her heart. She had tried her best to keep her heart as still as water, but her emotions and heart were still affected by him.

She loathed and hated her own emotions.

She rubbed her forehead and muttered to herself, "I can't be influenced by her next time. I can't, I can't."

"Why not?" Suddenly, a puzzled voice sounded beside her ear. Lydia's heart trembled as she opened her eyes.

When she saw the curious Amelia standing in front of her, she calmed down and said, "Why are you here? Could it be..."

As if recalling something, her eyes lit up.

"That's right. As you wish, I managed to get what you wanted." Amelia smiled and took out a stack of photos from her pocket and handed them to Lydia. "Take a look at these conditions as a counterattack."

Lydia took the photos and flipped through them one by one.

After looking through them, she couldn't help but praise Amelia, "I didn't know that Senior had the potential to be a detective. Not only did she take the photos clearly, but she even managed to get a kissing and holding photo. Amazing!"

"Hehe, it's good that it works on you." Amelia scratched her head in embarrassment.

Lydia held the photos in her hands and looked up at the sky. Her watery eyes narrowed. "Now that we have so many long lines, it's time to fight Josie!"

This time, she would definitely return the pain of her previous life to Josie!
