When Love Breaks by jack

Why do I feel guilty?

I haven't really done anything wrong from start to finish.

With that thought, I lifted my gaze towards them. After Lilliana threw herself into his arms, he hesitated for a moment, seemingly uncomfortable yet not wanting to hurt Lilliana's feelings.

He gently pushed her away, maintaining his usual indifferent tone, "Slow down, okay?"

"But I missed you." Lilliana's eyes blinked as she looked up at him, her pale cheeks betraying her caution, much like a delicate little bunny. "You left so early yesterday, it's been almost twenty hours since I last saw you."

Counting the hours, huh?

I reined in my thoughts, smiling slightly, just as Gregory's eyes met mine again. Seeing me calm and composed, without a hint of emotion, seemed to imitate him.

He let go of Lilliana's hand and strolled over with a roguish smile, greeting the two elder ladies before lazily taking a seat on the sofa across from me.

just got back..."

"Oh come on, what are you saying? Lilliana's at her own home, does Greg really need to babysit her?"

Ramona chimed in with a chuckle, glancing at me with a meaningful look. "Besides, Greg should just look after Lilliana like a sister from now on. They haven't spent much time together over the years, so there's not much of a bond. We're not sticking to old-fashioned ways here. Let the kids decide for themselves when it comes to their feelings."

Adah scolded him lightly, "You rascal, could you not take a little more care of Lilliana? Sh I was taken aback. That was quite unexpected.

Adah, catching the implication, was even more surprised, "What do you mean? Are you suggesting they break off the engagement? Greg. has waited for Lilliana for so many years..."

Obviously, Gregory had discussed this with Ramona directly.

Without notifying the Ford family.

Ramona smiled, saying, "Ask the young ones themselves. Childhood bonds are special, but they might not be enough to sustain a marriage. Let's leave this significant life decision to them."

Aside from Christine and me, there were no outsiders here.

Gregory put down his teacup with a rare serious look. "Yes, I've also discussed it privately with Lily, and she agrees."

"So this was your idea."

S Adah glared at him but without any real blame, turning to Lilliana, "Lilliana, his word doesn't mean anything. Tell your grandmother yourself, do you agree?"

"I..." Lilliana fiddled with her fingers, glancing at Gregory's expression, her eyes suddenly reddening. "I don't want to be just Greg's sister, but if that's what Greg wants, I'll respect his decision..."

Before she could finish, Adah smacked Gregory on the head, m "Listen to her I'm telling you, even if I agreed to break off the engagement, your grandfather would never allow it!"

"Adah, you always know best!"

Suddenly, Mrs. Myers walked in, caressing Lilliana's cheek, "Don't worry, dear.

"Don't No Free has waited for you for years, he's just teasing.

Lilliana murmured softly, "Mom..."

Gregory didn't say much, merely picking up his phone and fiddling e with it.

Within minutes, I received a text from Gregory: "I'll handle this."

I didn't reply.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
