At night, Blake called Damian to join him for ghost-hunting training.
He wanted to keep himself busy and distracted from overthinking.
Lilly, appearing like an eager puppy, poked her head out, clasped her hands together, and said in an enthusiastic tone, “Daddy, I'm coming too! I'll take care of you!” Blake squatted by her door, pursed his lips, and replied, “But don’t you have school tomorrow?” Lilly shook her head. “It doesn’t matter, I'm only in kindergarten!” Blake was speechless.
He gently touched Lilly's little head and said, puzzled, “Going to kindergarten is for you to develop good habits...” Lilly asked, “Am I not good enough, Daddy?” Blake: “Uh...” “Let's go.” Blake's hesitation lasted only a second.
He picked up Lilly and quietly left.
These experiences would remain in Lilly's memory as she grew up—sneaking out with her father in the middle of the night, covering for each other while doing mischievous things. They would become her cherished memories.
Damian was already waiting at the intersection, sitting in a white car.
Blake placed Lilly in the car and raised his eyebrow, “She didn’t take your car?” Damian replied, “It was unlocked, so I'm taking it back.” Blake nodded in approval. “That's good. At least you know how to take your car back.” Damian was silent.
He muttered quietly to himself, “I'm not stupid, I'm just being taken advantage of... No, I'm not stupid, I'm being taken advantage of... not stupid.” Lilly concluded, ” Damian, you're both being taken advantage of and stupid.” Damian had nothing to say in response.
However, he was grateful that Blake had awakened him.
Upon further investigation, he discovered that Rain had not only cheated on him but had also betrayed him numerous times while he was on missions.
She even brought her flings to their shared home, rolling into the bed they slept in and using his towel and shower gel.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Furthermore, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had not performed well during the day.
Lilly remarked, “Damian, the more you think about it, the more you feel that you didn’t perform well and that you're being taken advantage of, right?” Damian replied, “Uh, it’s alright.” Although he felt that way deep down, he still felt uneasy.
After all, they had been together for so many years, and he did not want to do anything wrong. Even though he had all the evidence to prove Rain was unfaithful, he never thought of seeking revenge against her.
Lilly sighed, “Is this what Master calls lovesick?” Blake glanced over.
Pablo, who was unnoticed at the side, immediately chimed in, “I didn’t teach her that!” The term “lovesick” was something she had learned from users on the internet in the comments section.
The internet users in the comments section were dumbfounded.
Lilly continued, “Damian, you didn’t slander her. She slandered you!” She held up her kiddy phone.
The adorable mint green mobile phone had a slightly cartoonish appearance, giving off the impression of being fake. No one could tell that this was a mobile phone worth over 10,000 dollars.
Anthony had purchased this phone for Lilly, but later her grandmother forbade her from using it, so she put it away.
Lilly only brought the phone with her when they went out.
At that moment, Damian noticed a familiar face on the screen of Lilly's lovely mint green phone.
It was Rain! Rain’s social media feed appeared on the screen. She posted several updates in a row, “Sisters, | encountered a scumbag! They say all these nice things to me, claiming to trust me at all times... but then they slandered me in the mall, accusing me of flirting with his superior! Haha, it's ridiculous! As if | would go after his superior! If | wanted to flirt, | would've aimed much higher! There's no excuse for their malicious intent, | see through men. | have been hurt too deeply... I'll never trust a man again, and | have no desire to marry anyone anymore...” Accompanying the post was a picture of Rain lying on a bar table, wearing a tearful expression with empty eyes, as if conveying a message, ‘I have been hurt too much...” Damian felt even more uneasy.
But...
“Why do you have her account?” Damian was surprised.
Lilly responded, “Daddy made it for me! Daddy goes out and gets things done. | can have whatever | want.” Damian was speechless.
Now he was even more curious about the reason Lilly used to add Rain as a contact.
In the next moment, he understood that Lilly's profile picture was actually of a man with a well-defined physique. His age was listed as 28 years old, and his nickname was “Breaking into Your Heart” Damian remained silent.
He did not need to think twice; this was something Mr. MacNeil had done.
He just wanted to know if Bettany was aware of this.
Lilly played with her phone and said, “Let's go, let's go to the bar!” Damian was perplexed. “Lilly... you can enter the bar?” Blake interjected, “Don't ask.” The car moved slowly, and Damian's hesitancy was evident from the car’s speed...
At that moment.
Rain was dressed in a white, thin, tight-fitting sweater. The bar was filled with girls wearing suspenders, low-cut dresses, and short skirts. Rain's attire was not revealing, but it garnered more attention.
Compared to those who were more “open,” men seemed to prefer a “purer” appearance.
“Miss, are you alone? Want some company?” Numerous people approached her, trying to strike up a conversation.
Rain glanced at them, flaring his nostrils. Their “hardware” was not very impressive.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had become so skilled that she could determine the other person's “hardware” just by looking at them.
Rain declined, saying, “No, I'm waiting for my friend.” She looked down at her phone.
On her phone, a man with the username “Breaking into Your Heart” sent a message.
“Wait for me.” Her heart fluttered a little.
Throughout their chat history, the man had not said much.
She said, “Hi there!” The other party responded, “Hey.” She continued, “Are you alone? Do you have a girlfriend?” The other party replied: “No.” She said: “Do you want to go out and have fun together? I've been hurt by my boyfriend, and I'm feeling down.” The other party added, “Wait for me.” In their chat history, Rain did most of the talking while the other party mostly listened, occasionally responding with a simple “yes.” Their conversations were brief and to the point. Rain could not help but imagine that the person on the other end of the phone was a domineering man like Anthony.
Taking a sip of her wine, Rain clicked on the other party’s profile picture.
He has a great physique.
Using one’s own body as a profile picture was akin to a woman using her partially exposed breasts as a profile picture, displaying coquettishness.
Her heart began to flutter! As they chatted, she acted cold and distant... just to see if the other party was boring! This kind of man was the best for casual flings.
Rain curled her lips, smiling slightly. It seemed like she had found herself a high-quality fling.
Little did she know...
The person she thought the high-quality man was actually on the other end of the screen she was interacting with was a little girl.
The girl was not being cold or distant; she was just learning how to type and could only recognize a few words...
