Chapter 344


    Dn was momentarily taken back. “Lily, what are you trying to say?”


    “Exactly what I just said. Does Callie look a lot like me?”


    “In truth no. Don’t people say that a nephew or niece usually looks like their uncle? It’s not surprising


    that Callie looks like you, so don’t overthink it.”


    “I’m not thinking too much. I just heard Isabe say that she looks a lot like me. But don’t people say


    that a daughter looks like her father? Uncle Jared looks miserable, so why doesn’t Callie look like him?”


    “Well, I think I’ve heard people say that a nephew or niece looks like their uncle.”


    “So why doesn’t Caiden look like my father?” I asked further.


    “This is most likely a gene-rted problem. Callie inherited her uncle’s genes, but not Caiden.” As


    Dn was saying this, he reached out and stroked my head. “Don’t dwell on it. Now that you’re back,


    nobody and nothing can possibly touch you. As long as I’m here, you can just be happy Lilian Hawkins


    with no worries.”


    I sensed there was hidden meaning behind Dn’s words, but I didn’t think much of it at the time. It


    wasn’t until I learned of Callie’s identityter that I realized there was actually a reason he had said


    that.


    It was midnight when I got home from dinner with Dn. After taking a shower upon arriving home, I


    immediately went to dreand.


    The next morning, I was awakened by Isabe’s phone call. “Lily, has there been any progress?”


    “No. Eric Walker freaked out as soon as I mentioned the subject and berated me sternly. Judging by his


    reaction, I think asking for your help will be a dead end.” I told her aboutst night’s incident.


    Isabe was confused. “Logically speaking, things shouldn’t have gone wrong.”


    “You can’t use logic with 13

    Eric Walker” I sighed.


    “Rte your conversation with him on the beach in detail.”


    “Is this really necessary?”


    “Yes. Weren’t things lovely at first? Sudden hostility makes no sense. I need to figure out what went


    wrong before we talk more about this.”


    So I had no choice but to repeat my conversation with Eric. Isabe listened quietly on the other end of


    the line, but when I spoke about how she said she was willing to do anything for the sake of revenge,


    she cut me off, eximing, “I know why Eric Walker exploded! He misunderstood your meaning and


    thought you were offering him your body in exchange.”


    “What? This is impossible! I never said such a thing!”


    “You said. You said you’re willing to do anything. When a woman says she’s willing to do anything, for a


    man,


    it means offering her body in return. Don’t ask me how I would know that, because I have a yboy


    right next to me.


    Eric Walker’s imagination is really rich. I was simply saying that to express my determination to get my


    revenge, so how did that turn into selling me out for revenge? Why would I do such a thing over a


    cowardly bastard?


    On the other end of the line, Isabeughed. “Lily, Eric Walker’s reaction is so intense, I think you


    made the right choice to go to him.”


    “The right choice? Why would you say that?”
