Chapter 51
“Forget it, Sean!”
Carlisle patted Sean on his shoulder. This was a time when evildoers hadn’t been completely eradicated.
No one was willing to offend those criminals.
That being said, Sean’s words guilt–tripped them.
“Don’t cry, Lily. It’s more important that you’re safe!”
Carlisle had changed the tragedy that he had foreseen. Lily had survived. This was the silver lining.
“My school fees are gone. Without that, I won’t be able to attend university… What should I do?” cried Lily.
She sat on the ground with her head buried between her knees.
She had 4000 dollars in her bag. 3000 dollars was from the hard work that her parents put in by working
day and night for half a year. The other 1000 dollars was from her grandfather’s sale of their cow.
Carlisle spoke up, “Il put in the money for your school fees first…”
After all, Lily’s past had changed because of him. Helping out with her school fees was his way up for the guilt he felt in his heart.
Lily looked up at Carlisle. She was teary–eyed. “You have that much money?”
of making
Carlisle smiled and replied casually, “I earned some money from gaming over the summer holidays!”
Lily looked at Sean doubtfully. In a croaky voice, she asked, “Is what Carlisle said true?”
A smile broke on Sean’s face. “Yeah. He’s a rich man now!”
“But… I might only be able to pay you back after a long time!”
Lily started crying even harder. She didn’t interact with Carlisle much. Even so, he was willing to fork out the money for her school fees first.
It was not a small amount. Even if she worked part–time, it would probably take her years to pay him back.
‘There’s no rush in paying me back. Wait till you get a job next time!”
Carlisle didn’t think of having her return the money. He even decided to include her in his money–making
plans in the future.
After a moment, the police arrived. Carlisle and Sean accompanied Lily to make a report and get her
statement taken.
After that, they returned to town for dinner.
Carlisle made a trip back to the hotel to take 5000 dollars from his luggage. Although it wasn’t considered
a small amount during this time, he didn’t feel the pinch at all.
At the seafood restaurant, Sean ordered eight dishes in one go.
Chapter 51
Lily was stunned. She knew that Sean had a good family background. But wasn’t this over the top? How were the three of them going to be able to finish eight dishes?
“Mister, you hurt your arm. Do you want to go have your wound cleaned?” a waitress asked politely. She had noticed the scratch on Sean’s arm.
“It’s just a minor injury. It’s no biggie!”
Sean waved his hand. Then, he added, “I’d like to add a shrimp gumbo!”
The waitress asked, “Are you waiting on anyone else?”
Sean nodded. “One more person!”
The waitress was taken aback. “Only one more person?”
They ordered nine dishes for the three of them. She figured that Sean was born with a silver spoon in his
mouth!
At this moment, Sean realized that he might have ordered too much.
He thought of canceling a few dishes but was afraid of being looked down on by the waitress.
Lily was sitting next to him. So, he linked arms with Lily and boasted, “I’m treating my girlfriend to a meal. What’s wrong with ordering a few more dishes?”
Lily widened her eyes immediately. She blushed. She wanted to push Sean away but was afraid that she’d hurt his pride.
She was reminded of the scene where Sean leaped ahead to save her. She flushed red and lowered her
head.
“Sorry, I’m sorry. I misspoke!” the waitress apologized immediately.
Such a situation has indeed happened before. There were those who were old money who ordered more than ten dishes for themselves!
After the waitress left, Carlisle opened the door to the private room and walked in.
He saw that Sean had linked arms with Lily. He smiled slightly and commented, “Good on you, Sean. It’s only been a while, and you’ve managed to chase Lily?”
Sean turned red. He retracted his hand immediately and stuttered, “Lily… Sorry… I didn’t mean to!”
Lily had flushed red in embarrassment. She hung her head low and mumbled, “I–It’s alright!”
They were both very shy. They hung their heads down low and didn’t say a word.
Carlisle took out 5000 dollars and put it on the table in front of Lily. “Here are your school fees, Lily!”
