Chapter 42 Permitted Entry
However, to his surprise, Mr. Jack still didn't show any signs of anger, which confused him. Did Mr. Jack really have a crush on the woman this time? "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
In the darkness, Jack's slender fingers sandwiched one end of the cigarette. Shrouding in smoke, his face looked somewhat unreal, noble and cold.
"But..."
Henry was still hesitant. Mr. Jack also knew how insidious and vicious those people were. Once Lily was caught, the consequences would be unimaginable. Was this really what Mr. Jack wanted to see? "No buts."
There was irresistible anger in Jack's tone. He turned around and looked at the person in front of him, which made Henry tremble.
"I know what I'm doing."
He was confident that he would teach them a lesson this time.
Henry nodded, turned around and disappeared.
Looking out of the window, Jack's mind was full of the woman's bright smile. Was he really going to do this?
"Knock, knock, knock..."
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He turned around and saw a petite woman standing at the door with a fruit plate.
As soon as she entered the room, Lily saw the man raising his head slightly in the smoke and looking at the dim light above his head. From her angle, the man's side face was perfectly shown in front of her. She had to admit that this man was a scourge, and of course he had the qualification to be a scourge.
"Don't look at me like that."
Lily was a little nervous and walked into his study. Normally, no one was allowed to enter his study without permission, but unexpectedly, he didn't stop her today.
Jack stared at her as if he was looking at a prey, expressionless and somewhat dignified.
"What's the matter?"
"Here you are. I'm leaving now."
In fact, she had struggled in her mind for a long time. Thinking of the kick she gave him just now, she felt a little guilty.
The most important reason was that she had to give in to her current situation.
Lily was not a fool. She didn't even know how to call in reinforcements in such a remote place.
She put down the fruit plate and was about to run out.
But her wrist was grabbed by him the next second. She turned around and looked at him in confusion.
"Why do you suddenly do this for me?"
Looking at the fruit plate on the table, Jack's eyes darkened. What was this girl planning? He couldn't understand her.
Lily scratched her head and smiled awkwardly.
"Nothing, it's not a big deal. I just saw that you have been sitting in the room for a long time and wondered if I should get you something to eat. But eating too much at night is not good for your health, so I got you some fruit."
The woman in front of him had a beautiful face and pure eyes. Hearing this, Jack's heart softened. For so many years, she was the first person who cared about him so much.
As the third son of the Nan clan, and also the so-called heir of the family, Jack had already been used to the life of intrigue. He was numb to all the care from others, and even felt that inexplicable care was a threat.
But he was touched by Lily's concern over and over again. This woman's eyes told him that she was not lying.
In this villa, Jack was the only one who lived here. Others could only enter the villa with his permission. Lily was the first person who was brought here by him. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
