章 323: First Failure

At half past two in the afternoon, Lilia and Julius left the roast duck restaurant together. The man was watching Lilia getting into the car waiting by the side of the road. Her eyes flashed with mixed emotions.

The invitation cards in his coat's pocket felt heavy after he heard Lilia's words just now. He could vaguely guess what Lilia wanted to do, but he didn't have the heart to stop her. If only Sylvia had treated Lilia better and tried to love her like her own child, that young woman wouldn't have needed to do this.

Julius took a deep breath to calm his chaotic thoughts. He stood by the side of the road and stared at the wide blue sky. Even though the sight looked beautiful, the uncertainty that stifled him refused to disappear. Julius didn't know if he should have stopped Lilia, or helped her with her plan.
