Avenger's coming back novel Chapter 176

Although it was late at night, Lily didn't feel sleepy after hanging up the phone. She lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.

The fireworks outside the window had stopped, and the surroundings had become quiet. She was not in the Qiao family's old house, but in the small nest belonging to her and Eric.

Because there were Dillon and Lucia there, she went out after having the New Year's Eve dinner after chatting with Joe for a while.

She had taken a photo and sent it to Eric. In fact, she wanted to ask him if he could come out tonight. But she didn't expect him to go to G city in advance. He said that something had happened, but she didn't get the answer. She felt a little uneasy.

Tossing and turning, Lily couldn't fall asleep. She just got up and turned on the lights in every room. Then she began to clean up. She could fall asleep when she was tired.

There was heating in the room. She wore a simple pajama and walked barefoot in the room.

Although the house had been decorated and the furniture had been bought, the position of the furniture was not what she liked. The first step was to adjust the position of the furniture. Of course, she didn't have the strength to adjust the big furniture.

After adjusting the position of the furniture, she took out a duster cloth and wiped all the furniture aside, and then the floor.

The house had just been decorated, so didn't buy many household items, including the things to mop the floor. Therefore, the floor was cleaned bit by bit with a duster cloth when she knelt down.

In fact, the house wasn't very dirty. Eric hired an hour worker, but Lily thought that since it was their own house, they had to clean it by themselves. Only in this way could they have a home.

After cleaning up the master bedroom, the secondary bedroom and the living room, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Her back was still sweating, but she did not feel tired. Instead, she had a sense of accomplishment.

The last one was the kitchen. There was nothing in the kitchen except for the fridge, stove and bowls. There was no smell of home at all.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Lily leaned against the door of the kitchen. Her eyes shifted from the stove to the cupboard, and then to the fridge. She was thinking about what she should add, such as firewood, rice, salt, tea, pots and pans.

All of a sudden, the words Eric said on the phone came to her mind again.

He said, "Call me honey."

When she first heard this, she was completely unable to react and did not know how to react. At his age, other children were still thinking about how to learn, but he made such a request.

But she liked it very much. It was a very warm name for her. The reason why she didn't call him in the end was that it was a responsibility, but more importantly, it was because she was shy.

Thinking of this, Lily suddenly laughed. She threw the rag in her hand into the trash can, turned around and went to the bathroom. She planned to take a shower and have a good sleep first, and tomorrow she would go to buy everything she should buy.

On the second morning, Lily got up early, packed up and went out.

As it was the first day of the New Year, there were not many people in the mall, and even few.

Lily went to the special area for selling Kitchenware and tableware first and bought what she needed during the conversation with the saleswoman. But since there were so many things, she left the address and contact information and asked the person in charge here to help deliver them within the agreed time.

After buying these, she went to the clothing area to buy two home clothes for Eric in person. Two days ago, he asked her to wait for him in their own house. She didn't want him to come back without clean clothes to change.

When she arrived at the clothing area, Lily picked up a shop with good color and style and walked in. She just bought home clothes and didn't have too delicate requirements. She had only planned to buy it for Eric, but when she saw that the lovers' clothes were also very beautiful, she couldn't help but buy herself.

Therefore, the final result was that she bought two sets of living clothes for couples and a pair of pajamas for couples. However, this pair of pajamas was a little cute. The style was childish. She just wanted to see the pajamas he wore.

Lily couldn't help laughing when she thought of the effect of his clothes.

She carried the clothes she had bought and walked out of the shop with satisfaction. But when she raised her head, she saw the person she didn't want to see most. Frank.

Of course, he was holding a woman in his arms. As he only saw the side, Lily couldn't see her clearly.

When she saw them holding each other intimately into a famous brand clothing store, Lily followed them subconsciously. This was the first time she had followed someone.

Frank's hand had never left the woman's waist, and the woman was full of shyness. While saying something, she was choosing clothes.

Walking to the window of the clothing store, Lily finally saw clearly that this woman looked a little familiar. Wasn't she the one who was taken to see a movie by Frank last time?

With a sneer at the corners of her mouth, Lily turned around and was about to leave. But as if she had thought of something, she turned around, took out her mobile phone and pressed the Photo button to take photos of the man and the woman inside.

It was not her fault. In the past, Frank and Claire had often framed her. Since there was such a good opportunity, why not take advantage of it?

When she put away her phone and was about to leave, Frank came out with the woman in his arms. The three of them just met.

Both Lily and Frank were stunned at the same time, but the first one to react was Lily, who happened to meet him. "Mr. Frank? What a coincidence! You came out to buy clothes too?"

After saying that, she deliberately looked at the woman in his arms. She was good-looking, with appropriate makeup, good figure, and well shaped.

Embarrassment flashed across Frank's face. He immediately moved his hand away from the woman's waist and said, "What a coincidence! Why are you alone? Where is Eric? Isn't he with you?"

Hearing that he mentioned Eric, a light flashed in Lily's eyes. Then she said, "Eric told me that the Gu family had something to deal with and didn't have time to accompany me. By the way, how could Mr. Frank have time to accompany..."

She looked at the woman beside him.

"She is my distant cousin. She has been in the Guan city for two days. I'll spare some time to accompany her today." Realizing her observation, Frank immediately explained.

"Okay." Lily nodded her head. She sneered in her heart, 'damn it! I don't believe that she is your distant cousin.'

Because the woman pinched him secretly just now. Apparently, she was dissatisfied with his introduction.

Frank felt a little guilty, but he still pretended to be calm and said to Lily, "Lily, why don't you come with us? You can help my cousin choose clothes."

"No, grandpa is waiting for me." Lily made up an excuse casually, "By the way, Eric said that something happened to the Gu family. What's the matter? He didn't tell me."

"Didn't he tell you?" Frank looked at her in surprise.

"No." Lily acted as if she knew nothing about it.

"Alas..." He said deliberately, "Maybe he didn't want you to worry about him, so he didn't tell you that uncle had an illegitimate child outside."

Hearing this, Lily was not too surprised. She knew it. After all, she had already known about it.

A sneer flashed across Frank's eyes, but he pretended to have no choice. He continued, "The illegitimate child outside is only two years younger than Eric, oh, about your age. Now that Grandpa knows about it, he didn't discuss with uncle and aunt. He took them back to the Gu family yesterday. But now, it's not good. The whole family is restless. Both aunt and Eric run away from home. I don't know where she's gone."

Lily finally knew why he came back to G city in advance. It turned out that Wayne had taken the mother and son back to the Gu family. It was a bit too much. He did not consider others' feelings at all.

That idiot, Eric, asked him on the phone last night for such a small thing, but he refused to tell her. If he told her, she could also persuade him. He was still worried that it would cause her trouble.

Seeing the dull look on her face, Frank thought that she was hit. A complacent smile flashed across his face, but he asked, "by the way, Lily, did Eric tell you where he went?"

Lily looked at him and shook her head. "No, I didn't know he ran away from home."

She didn't say that Eric had returned to G city. Since he didn't choose to tell the Gu family that he had returned to G City, she naturally wouldn't reveal his whereabouts to them.

Looking at the confused look on her face, Frank knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he stopped asking. But the woman beside him seemed to have no patience to wait any longer.

"Frank, when are you going to talk?" There was impatience in her tone, and she even frowned. She looked at Lily with an unfriendly look in her eyes.

Subconsciously, Lily glanced at her and sneered. Her words exposed her true colors, but it was enough to match Frank.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your shopping." Lily glanced at the two apologetically. "I have to go now. Mr. Frank, go shopping with your 'cousin'."

After saying that, she didn't bother to look at the two people, turned around and left with the things she had bought.

As soon as Lily left, the woman held Frank's hand and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Frank, how can you say that I'm your cousin?"

"I have no choice. You know my current situation. Our relationship can't be made public." Frank put his arms around her waist and kissed her on the lips. "Well, don't be angry. Let's go. We'll buy whatever we want now."

"That's what you said. I want to buy one more bag."

"Okay, as you wish."

The two of them walked farther and farther away.
