NovelEnglishChapter 369
The sound of the wind made Bruce's voice sound jumbled, but Lily heard it clearly. She was stunned for a few
seconds before she recalled that she had actually given Xavier's number to Brice
Lily gasped. She immediately grabbed Xavier's phone and said, "Don't callagain! We're not suited for each
other!"
She hung up the phone, blocked Bruce, and handed the phone back to Xanter.
"That's it?" Xavier's tone was icy.
The ring of light from the street lamps cast a shadow over his eyes, and his gaze was dark and unreadable.
Bruce's messages from the entire afternoon had sullied his eyes and his phone.
"I'm sorry. It wasn't on purpose. Brice insisted on getting my contact before he would letgo, and your
number was the one | remembered best," Lily explained sheepishly. Xavier found it ridiculous. "If that's the case,
| shouldn't blyou, but I should be touched that you have remembered my number so well?"

He never bothered to argue when he was in the right, let alone when he was in the wrong.
Lily stood in front of him with her eyes lowered. She could feel his anger engulfing her. A simple apology wouldn't
dispel his anger, so she could only offer a definitive solution
"If he calls from a different number, you can tell him he has gotten the wrong number. Give him my number after
that."
"Why should | tell him? Xavier looked down at her. "Are you planning to keep in touch with him and let him speak
to you with such vulgar language?"
Xavier was so domineering that Lily felt inexplicably small and Inferior standing before him.
She frowned lightly and looked up at him. "Didn't you say | was causing you trouble? You can be rid of him if you
give him my number. Plus, you should be happy that he's Insultingwith such filthylanguage. "After all, you
really hatetoo."

"When did I..." Xavier's words got caught in his throat, and he didn't finish his sentence. He wondered when he
had ever hated Lily.
"It sorry isn't enough, then what do you think would make you feel better? How about you givea few slaps?"
Lily couldn't imagine how much Xavier disliked her for him to keep looking for her like this.
He picked on her when nothing was wrong and found fault with her when there was none, all just to make things
difficult for her.
"What's there to feel better over?" Xavier's lips pressed into a thin line. "With this kind of trouble hanging around
you, who knows when he'll take advantage of you it | don't step
Lily remained silent. Bruce was indeed a problem, but she wasn't sure if Xander would really help her solve it.
Even if he did, it would be because he feared she would cheat on him.
Sure enough, as soon as that thought crossed her mind, Xavier lazily added, "At that point, my reputation would
be at stake"
Lily thought Xavier was such a double standard. He was afraid of embarrassment but refused to divorce, he
cheated, yet he demanded her to be pure.

Lily's fingers tightened around her bag strap. She kept her head down in silence, waiting for him to continue his
cnticism. She let him vent his anger.
Xavier wasn't afraid of her causing a fuss, but seeing her standing there so quietly, letting him reprimand her as
he pleased, made him inexplicably anxious.
Just as the two of them were locked in a stalemate, Xavier's phone suddenly rang again. It was just as Lily
predicted, Bruce changed to a new number and called again.
Xavier's expression darkened again, and he muted his phone. "Lily, don't let this happen again. If | catch you on
another blind date-"
"You'll destroy the Joyners, target Hayden, and stopfrom going to the competition." Lily finished the
sentence for him.
The nighttwind howled as Lily's long hair was blown against her face. She was huddled in her down jacket,
and the tip of her nose was red from the cold. She looked pitiful yet infuriating. Xavier gritted his teeth so hard
that there was sound
"I let you deal with Bruce. Don't worry, | won't go on anymore blind dates," Lily said softly.
Her sudden obedience made Xavier's anger subside significantly
