Chapter 389
Sarah's appearance!
vinexplicable as her quick departure. It felt like she was only there to deliver a few empty words After paving for her groceries, Lily carried the bugs home, pondering what Sarah's words meant Never had sent Sarah to vent her anger on Lily, but she couldn't understand what the source of this anger was. Now that she had lost her job, they only had to interfere with the Avelon Designs Competition
However, since the Avelon Designs Competition was internationally organized, any attempt to intervene would require a significant effort and cost. But what else could it be? Lily couldn't figure it out, but unease settled as she returned home. Though her rented apartment was small, it was fully equipped and warm in the cold winter. When she closed the door, her anxious heart finally eased a little.
After putting the groceries in the fridge, she made pasta and continued her studies in the living room, taking advantage of the perfect midday sunlight.
When she grew tired, she rested on the couch for a while
Because of the upcoming competition, Maryanne had wisely refrained from disturbing her, occasionally sending texts to vent her frustrations. Whenever Lily had time, she would chat with Maryanne.
Hazel had contacted her several times, but she hadn't responded. However, she would always answer Hayden's calls.
Hayden had also been busy recently. The game was about to launch, and many issues required his attention.
Finally managing to carve out some time, he immediately came to find her for a meal...
Fearing she might have too much trouble cooking, he insisted on eating at a small restaurant downstairs from her apartment
Lily walked downstairs, which only took about five or six minutes
"Lily, after the game Launches, I'll be busy for about a month. Once I'm free, I'll come findyou if you're still abroad," Hayden said calmly, his words full of concern for her.
"Why don't you get a good rest when your re free? Why go abroad to tire yourself out? Lily said, reluctant for him to go.
She didn't have to think much to realize that he was only getting two or three hours at sleep each day before the game's launch
Now that be finally had some time off, he should rest adequately, or his body wouldn't be able to handle it.
Hayden patted his chest confidently. "I'm young, so it's no problem. Besides, going abroad means I'll follow your competition and cheer you on. It'll be like a break. Every competitor has someone with them, you should have someone there with you too! She couldn't help but smile. Having someone was truly a nice thing, but it was hard for her to accept
"Lily" Hayden suddenly looked down, a trace of melancholy crossing his face. "No matter what reason Mom and Dad give, don't return to them."
"What do you mean? Lily's eyes flickered in confusion.
She had a rough idea of what he meant but didn't want to think about it.
He struggled to speak, his face filled with shame and anger. "Anyway, don't contact them again!"
He couldn't bring himself to tell her he had overheard Bobby and Hazel discussing how to trick Lily into meeting with Bruce
Afterward, Hazel repeatedly tried to get him to reveal where Lily lived, but he refused to tell her.
If it hadn't been for Lily's decision to leave the country in a few days, he might have tried to convince her to move to a different place
He couldn't bring himself to speak about these things. He was disillusioned with Bobby and Hazel, worried about Lily, and helpless that he couldn't do anything
Lily could read the expression on his face and more or less guessed what had happened. She reached out and patted his arm on the table. "It's okay. I won't contact them again." Although she was the one being unfairly treated by Bobby and Hazel, Hayden couldn't accept it. Over the years, she had seen through their actions.
