Tom got home rather early that night. Unusually, Lily was not there, and the only person in the house was the maid.
“Where is Lily?” Tom asked.
“I heard madam was planning to travel to Bali. That’s all I know,” the maid recalled.
Did she hate him so much that she would flee the country? Tom thought.
The house felt cold without Lily’s presence. When she was there, she would prepare dinner for him and wait for him to come home. But now, she wasn’t there. Tom was surprised at how upsetting it was.
Back at the amusement park, Bella was shocked by James’ sudden kiss. But the most curious thing was that she didn’t hate it.
James was staring passionately at Bella.
“Bella, please be my girlfriend.”
“What if you dump me again for some random girl, like Vera or Vivi?” Bella murmured.
James
