Chapter 26 She Was the Extra One

Chapter 26 She Was the Extra One

Lilian bit her own lower lip and looked at Francis.

Francis just stared at her silently with his face darkening.

Lester also got a bit angry and chided in a low voice, "Courtney, can you stop making trouble? That's her private affair. What has it to do with you?"

Courtney refuted, "Lilian is my friend, so her affair definitely has something to do with me! I'm going to take charge of it. They have to divorce today!"

"Enough!"

"Pa!"

A crisp slap rang in the office, making the entire room completely quiet.

Judging from the visible palm print on Courtney's face, Lester used all his strength to slap.

Courtney looked at Lester incredulously. Lester's eyes were filled with anger as well as a hint of imperceptible guilt and complexity.

Lilian stared at Courtney in shock, and broke free from Courtney's hand after realizing what had happened.

Courtney didn't say anthing and just stared at Lilian's back.

Lilian walked towards the door and came to Francis. She looked up at Francis and then at Julian next to him.

Julian was holding Francis tightly, as if afraid that he might run away.

Lilian couldn't help but curl her lip and thought Julian and Francis were a perfect match and she was the extra one.

Lilian crossed over the two and walked away without looking back.

Lester then dragged Courtney away. When passing by Francis, Courtney sneered, "Francis, you'd better not regret it in the future."

It was still raining outside, drizzling like mist floating above the city.

Julian followed behind Francis, afraid to say a word, because she could feel that Francis was very angry at the moment.

After arriving at the parking lot, Francis suddenly stopped and said, "I remember you drove here, so go home on your own."

Julian took his hand and said, "Won't you drive me home? Come to my place. I'll cook for you."

"I have something else to do. Go back on your own." After saying that, Francis withdrew his hand and got into his own car.

After leaving the SunRise Entertainment, Lilian boarded a bus on the roadside. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She didn't know where the bus went, as she didn't know the aim of her life.

She fondled her own lower abdomen and looked up at the blurry scenery outside the window with her gaze wandering.

No matter how far the bus was driven, it woud eventually reach the terminus.

The driver turned around to look at her several times, wondering why she stood from beginning to end even though there were so many vacant seats in the bus.

"Girl, the terminus is here."

Lilian regained her composure and nodded to the driver to thank him, before getting off the bus.

This was an old urban area, with buildings of only eight or nine floors. Many people were bustling around with umbrellas.

With her hair covered in raindrops, she walked for a long time and then stopped outside a noodle restaurant.

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon, so there were not many people in the restaurant. The boss of the restaurant called for her to enter after seeing her stand outside in a daze.

Lilian waved her hand to express that she didn't want to go in.

But the boss thought she didn't go in because she had no money, so he said sympathetically, "Come on in. I won't charge you."

Then a bowl of hot beef noodles was placed in front of her. Looking up at the boss who had a kind smile, Lilian couldn't help but curl her lip and finally burst into tears.

A stranger could give her warmth, while the closest person made her heart-broken again and again.
