"Fine! I'll wait and see how you impress me!" Xavier's thin lips parted as he enunciated each word deliberately.
"Don't blme for disregarding our marria catch you taking shortcuts again."
Mamage? He tumed around and left. His silhouette radiated an unwavering resolve. Did that look like someone
who still cared about their marriage?
It was clear his anger stemmed from her disobedience and her refusal to yield to his wishes.
Lily couldn't bring herself to dwell further on his attitude toward Sarah. The way he treated Sarah alone was
enough to plunge her into a torment she couldn't escape.
"Lily!" Hazri suddenly appeared out of nowhere, running up to her and stamping her foot in frustration. "What's
wrong with you, child? Why did you and Xavier fall out again?"

It was obvious she had been secretly watching them for quite a while. She ignored Lily's reddened eyes and the
fact that Xavier's attitude was anything but conciliatory during the conversation earlier.
"He comes to talk, and I'm just supposed to take and do whatever he says?" Lily turned around and walked
toward the complex
Hazel followed suit. "He had lowered himself to cto you. What are you still dissatisfied about? Do you think
you're God? Are you still hoping to escape from his grasp? Even if you're preg-
"Mom" Lily couldn't listen any longer. Hazel's words instantly transformed the grievance Xavier had caused her
into anger.
"You're right. I'm useless. How could | ever think of escaping him? | should go back with him and let him do
whatever he wants with me. Should I still thank him for the extra days of pity when he's had enough withand
kickedaside?" All her emotions were considered petty in Hazel's eyes
"It's normal to have conflicts in marriage. If there's a way
way to reconcile, why not rake it? What are you trying to..."
Lily stormed oft, entering the building and choosing to walk the stairs instead of entering the elevator.
Hazel couldn't climb the stairs due to the bad condition of her legs. She stood at the staircase with her hands on
her hips as she scolded, "Your dad was right. You're as stubborn as a mule!"
Stubbom? Lily had learned to keep her head down from a young age in the Joyner family. She didn't even dare to
throw a tantrum when Hayden was so naughty that he broke her things as a child. As she grew older, she never
asked her parents for anything no matter how much she wanted something.
Bobby was indifferent toward her in the past but didn't have much to say about her.
It wasn't until she secretly changed her college major that all his discontent erupted. He started to tear her down
like she was worthless. |
It was all because she stopped being the docile daughter.
Was Xavier acting the sway now? Was she now the ungrateful and disobedient daughter and wife in their
eyes just because she stopped obeying and started to defy them?

The suffocating sense of oppression made her vision blur in the dimly lit stairwell.
She had to stop and lean against the handrail to steady herself, it took her a while to make it home.
Hazel was on the phone in another room. Lily could tell from her submissive tone that she was spealding to
Bobby
Nevertheless, she ignored it and removed her coat before setting down her bag and locking herself in her room.
Hazel was relaying everything to Bobby in the guest room.
"Did Xavier cto see her because he found out she's pregnant? Bobby didn't believe Xavier was the kind of
person who would lower himself for no reason. Hazel hesitated. "L. I'm not sure!"
Bobby fell silent momentarily before saying, "With how unreasonable Lily's been, even if Xavier knows about the
child, he won't let her hold it over him. She's only brought this on herself. The situation won't change unless the
Fultons know about it." They both know how much Edith wanted a grandchild. Once the Fultons found out Lily
was pregnant, he couldn't defy his family's wishes no matter how angry he
was
"I'll find a way to get in touch with Tamara!" Hazel's eyes lit up. "Honey, you always have the best idea!"
