Chapter 536 - A way to make it last (1/2)
Lance paused when he noticed that Lily lowered her head. He lifted her chin up again. ”But your happiness is more important to me. And I know where your happiness is. It is in your career. It is the most important to you. You cannot lose it. If the public finds out that you have a relationship with the producer of your film, people might think ill of you. They will judge you. It might ruin your career and I cannot promise that I will just sit and watch as the person I love is being trampled on by the public.”
”Actually, I don't think it will totally ruin my reputation and my career because we started our relationship when the film is almost done and that was the first film that you ever produced. So, you are not that familiar yet with this business and the dirty business underneath it all. And if it did end my career, then let it be. I don't care, I can just change career. I am a Parker, I am capable, maybe I can put up my own talent agency.” Lily is just indirectly saying that Lance is more important than her career thou it makes his heart flutter, he can't help but feel guilty.
”Lily, I cannot let you sacrifice your career that you've worked hard for a decade for this relationship. I can wait. I will always wait for you.”
Lily shook her head. She cannot let him wait because she is not sure for how long he is willing to wait. Even if he says that he will wait, she cannot be at ease. ”Please. Let me do this.” She pleaded.
”I want this relationship to work.” She said after a while.
”It will work, I promise,” Lance said.
”I don't want this to go to waste.”
Lance smiled. ”It won't.”
”I want this to last.”
Lance's smile became wider. ”It will. I already have a plan on how to make it last.” Yes, he did. Because of the moment that he realized that there is a possibility that Elder Parker might go insane and put her in an arrange marriage to someone, he also realized that he cannot let that happen. He cannot see Lily being married to someone else other than him. She belongs to him and no one has the right to be married to her except for him. For once, he set aside his principle and decided that Lily is the one that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
”You have?” Lily frowned and before she could probe on further, Lance asked her. ”Are you sure about this?”
