Chapter 1892
"I thought you said you would prioritize work and wouldn’t consider marriage for now? Why did you
change your mind?" Elliot asked after taking a sip of water.
"We are just having a meal together. Don''t read too much into it," Lilith said.
"Both families are meeting now, so you are not that far away from getting married," Elliot said
calmly. "You should really think about whether you want to marry Ben or not. There''s still time to
reconsider."
"Can''t I change my mind after this meal?" Lilith asked.
"You can change your mind at any point, or even get a divorce from him after marrying him. It''s just
that I have a unique
friendship with Ben, and I want you to act carefully." Elliot tightened his grip around the ss. "Ben
isn’t young anymore and he truly wants to settle down..."
"And how would you know that he wouldn''t cheat after we get married?" Lilith retorted. "You think
that he is a good man just because you are close to him."
"It’s precisely because I’m close to him that I know he wouldn''t mistreat you out of respect for me."
Elliot felt that, as her senior, he had the responsibility to warn Lilith.
"Should I be thanking you, then?" Lilith did not care for his warning. "Even if he mistreats me in the
future, I wouldn''t beg for him to stop. I won''t give up on my career, and I can support myself. Ever
since your marriage with Avery blew up, I realize how untrustworthy men are.”
Provoked, Elliot said, "Lilith White! I am your brother! If you think that Avery treats you better, you
are wee to invite her here to act as your family instead!"
"Avery does treat me better than you do!" Lilith shivered in response to his wrath, but she stood her
ground despite the fear." She never yells at me or looks down on me. And you? Before I had a
proper job, you didn''t even want to acknowledge me as your sister. Now that I''ve found a job and a
boyfriend, this is when you start acting like you are my brother!"
Elliot’s heart sank at her usation.
Though he had not cared for Lilith the way Avery did, he had never looked down on her.
Suddenly, the door to the room opened >b(< RLT? Ben walked in with his parents. He nced at
the looks on Lilith''s and Elliot’s faces and instantly noticed the tension between them.
Ben smiled. "There''s been a bit of traffic on the road so we were a bitte. Are you hungry?" He
turned around and said to the waiter, "You can serve food now."
He then led his parents to their seats.
Lilith immediately stood as soon as he took his seat and went to sit next to him.
Though Ben appreciated Lilith taking the initiative to sit next to him, he was overwhelmed by the
awkwardness of seeing how rude Lilith was to her brother.
At the moment, Ben, his parents, and Lilith were all seated next to one another, and Elliot was
sitting on his own on the other side of the table. This made it appear as though they were here to
interrogate Elliot instead of dining.
"Lilith, did you fight with your brother?" Ben lowered his voice and asked.
"He told me not to marry you."
Ben and both of his parents gasped.
Elliot froze at the sudden usation.
"Th- That can''t be possible, hahaha!" Benughed dramatically to conceal his panicked state. He
saw Elliot as his brother and did not believe that he would stab him in the back.
"I just told her to think it through and not to make a decision rashly, before regretting it again,” Elliot
exined to Ben and his parents.
Ben sighed a breath of relief. "I knew you wouldn''t stop me from being together with Lilith." "Who
didn''t get married in the heat of the moment? The more you asked me to think about it, the more
likely I''m going to regret it," Lilith said.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
"Um... Lilith, what you say makes sense as well," Helen said with a smile. "Even if you are marrying
Ben in the heat of the moment, I don''t think it''s an issue. You can get married and have a child
together. If youe to grow tired of one anotherter in life, it''s alright if you want to get divorced...
We will be sure to set you free."
