Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier)

However, Lily added, "So, don't come looking for me anymore. We agreed to live our lives separately, and we shouldn't always meet up. Sarah will mind."

With that, she turned around and walked into the apartment compound. After that, Xander got into his car and drove off

Not far away, Sarah sat in the car with Xyla beside her.

Xyla asked, "Sarah, is this why Xavier stood us up? Xavier had originally agreed to have dinner with them that night but suddenly changed his mind.noveldrama

Sarah started the engine and drove off. "He probably went to see Lily because of the matter with Brace."

"Didn't you say they were divorced? Why would he still care about Lily's blind dates if they were?" la didn't understand.

Sarah, however, understood it too well, and a sense of crisis grew in her heart.

accept that Lily was the one who pushed for it,

Anything or anyone that had Xavier's attention meant they had some level of importance to him. If he was divorced but couldn't accept t Xavier had many ways to force Lib back to him.

Sarah's worst fear was that Xavier wasn't able to deal with Lily decisively and instead, he slowly chipped away at her.

Sarah was also afraid that Xavier didn't realize this wasn't his usual way of doing things

"Xyla, go home first. I need to go out for some matters." Sarah didn't answer the question

Xylanodded obediently. "Okay"

When they reached Sarah's apartment, Sarah left without going upstairs.

As soon as she left, Xyla made acall she said, "Have you arranged the meeting with Bruce? Okay. Come pick me up now."

Lily thought to herself that Xavier might be of some use after all. At least Bruce would stop bothering her

With all the anxiety over preparing for the competition, she truly had no time to waste on Xaxier's sudden appearances. It caused a lot of negative emotions.

Lily returned home, made some dinner, and chatted with Hayden for a while. She then continued her research for the Avelon Designs Competition. She worked late into the night, finally took a shower, and went to bed.

She went back to work the next day. Unfortunately, the peace and quiet lasted only two days, and she had no idea how Xavier got rid of Bruce.

Bruce was very unhappy with communicating online and somehow found out where Lily worked. He actually showed up at the shop

Daphne was the one to greet him. When she heard he was looking for Lily, she rushed to the back to call her.

"Another guy is here for you. He looks really rich! He's dressed head to toe in designer clothes and has a Patek Philippe watch. Where did you meet all these rich people?" Daphne was so surprised that she said all of this in one breath. It took Lily a few seconds to process and react. "Male?"

Daphne nodded. "Yes, male. He looks filthynch

Lily immediately thought of Bruce. She walked toward the entrance and peeked outside quietly. It really was Bruce.

She quickly retreated, pulled Daphne aside, and said, "Tell him I've gone out for some measurements. You don't know when I'll be back

"You're not going to attend to him? Daphne asked in confusion.

Lily shook her head. "He's not here for business; he's here to cause trouble. Please help me out."

Upon hearing this, Daphne nodded instantly. "Okay I'll go."

Daphne turned around to leave and approached Bruce. She explained to him as per Lily's instructions

Unexpectedly, Brace refused to believe it. He stood up and shouted into the store, "Lily, you don't come out today, I'm not leaving! Let's see if your business can still continue!"
