Chapter 243 Arousing suspicion (2/2)

To kill the quietness that soon began to haunt everyone, Edwin spoke first.

”I never introduced myself properly. I'm Lillian's father, Edwin Grey. You can call me Edwin,” Edwin greeted formally.

Giselle nodded and took the chance to introduce herself as well formally.

”I've been waiting for you, Giselle,” he uttered.

One sentence, but it still managed only to add more pressure as Lillian learned something questionable.

”Yes, it was all last-minute rush,” Giselle replied.

Those two are conversing with much clarity that stunned Lillian Grey.

”Wait-” she spoke for the first time since Giselle's arrival.

”You were expecting for her?” Lillian pointed at her father, and that ruined Edwin's effort to get things lively.

He knew that was an instant regret and that he would carry it for forthcoming years to repent.

Shane's secret plan to lure Lillian back with Giselle is now on the verge of getting exposed, and Edwin's settled fear arose to his brain once again.

He struggled and faltered to answer.

”Tell me, dad,” Lillian raised her voice, only to receive no reply, but a repenting face of her father.

Seeing his got defeated early, Lillian turned to her next target and repeated the question.

”Giselle,” she called, after much hesitation, yet when uttering those words, the familiar feeling of closeness warmed Lillian, and she lowered her voice instant not to scare the guest.

”Why are you here?” she asked softly, but the doubtfulness still retained on her eyes. Lillian silently demanded an explanation.
