Chapter 93 Ruby's Anger

Ruby's anger surged like a volcano. She strode over, gripping the baby carriage.

"Johnson, how could you let Lilian take care of Bennie when she has just had a miscarriage?" she asked, implying that Lilian might harm the child if she harbored any resentment.

Ruby knew what her family had done to Lilian. That's why she had such worries.

Johnson glanced at her and said with a smile, "I've got to go out. Go to bed early. Don't wait for me."

"Going out again? Won't you be back tonight?" A hint of loss flashed across Ruby's face. Every day, he went out early in the morning but came home late at night. What he did do out there?

Ruby had investigated him but found nothing fishy: He kept no other women and rarely interacted with them, and he even seldom had female clients. He was careful, leaving her no evidence, but she still worried every day.

"It depends. My brother needs me."

"Oh."

She believed Johnson wouldn't lie about this, nor would Francis cover for him with a kind heart.

Johnson didn't say anything more, but glanced at Lilian again. "Do you want to come with me, Lilian?"

"What do you need her for?" Ruby was getting angry.

"Lilian needs to go home anyway. After she meets my brother, they can go back together, right?" Johnson said with a gentle smile, his face calm.

Ruby's grip on the baby carriage tightened, the veins on the backs of her hands bulging. She couldn't even force a smile. "She said she would stay here for a few days."

"Is that so?" Johnson seemed to finally realize it. "Then I was being nosy."

Lilian immediately signed, "I'll go with you."

Ruby was losing her composure. She shot a dagger-like glare at Lilian, barely maintaining her facade.

This mute had just said she would stay here, but now she said she was going after hearing Johnson's offer. What did she mean? Was she provoking her or afraid of being harassed if she stayed?

Lilian didn't look at her murderous gaze, focusing on Johnson as if asking for his opinion.

Johnson nodded and said, "Come with me then."

Lilian smiled and gestured, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Ruby watched their interaction, her face a kaleidoscope of emotions. If gazes could kill, Lilian would probably have been killed hundreds of times.

Lilian followed Johnson out of the villa, ignoring the furious Ruby behind her.

As she got into the car and closed the door, she faintly heard the noise of something shattering in the living room. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Lilian subconsciously glanced at Johnson, who seemed unperturbed, either not hearing or not caring.

They didn't speak on the way, but Lilian wasn't worried about him doing anything improper to her because that was unnecessary. In her view, Johnson didn't seem like a greedy or lustful person. She was afraid of him, simply because his look at her was like a hidden predator's gaze at its prey, and the predator might be a wolf, fox, or falcon.

She feared such mysterious, unknown terror.

Johnson drove to the company and even opened the door for Lilian, but she had stepped out before he did that.

He asked, "Lilian, do you want to go up with me or wait for him down here?"

Lilian looked around. At this hour, most of the company's employees had left, and the receptionist was also gone. Now the lobby was so desolate in the dim light.

She gestured, "I'll be waiting for him in the lobby."
