Lillie was summoned to the Bai Estate by a call from her mother; frantically telling her a brief summary of what happened before hanging up .
An umpteenth sigh escapes her mouth when she realized that there are still too much paperworks she needed to do before the call . She had asked Elliot once again to fill her into it before taking her car towards the estate .
To be frank, her mother was just being melodramatic of the fact that the emergency she was pertaining was her younger brother's late night activities and skipping classes by feigning ill .
Furthermore, not only was her mother the only one concerned, but her father and grandparents as well . Lillie had no choice but to see the bottom of it personally .
The family knew that Gabriel's greatest weakness was her sister and would do anything to make her proud .
Sadly, Gabriel was not careful enough in hiding his misbehavior . If their parents can see through it, what made you think Lillie can't?
Arriving in front of the mansion, she saw her mother patiently waiting for her by the door .
'Is it really that serious?' Lillie pondered .
"Little flower!" Mother Bai hugged and kissed her daughter's cheeks in greetings .
Mother Bai let her come in first . The servants were quick with their feet and immediately prepared refreshments and the eldest miss' favorite snacks . Behind the mansion was a beautiful garden filled with colorful and fragrant flowers, fruits and other vegetations .
The eldest miss loves nature . As doting parents, they unquestionably hired a talented landscape architecture and horticulturalist to design the garden .
Same goes for the Tranquil Villa's, where Lillie now lives with Ethan .
"Is it really serious, for you to call me so suddenly?" Lillie asked . The air around the garden made her feel nostalgic and calm . She used to come here to the garden to relax .
Mother Bai felt a bit embarrassed . She poked both of her index finger with each other, making her appear as if she was a high school girl confessing her love to her crush .
Lillie suddenly felt complicated . She knew this posture really well . The calmness inside her mind was now replaced by annoyance .
She should've seen it coming . . .
That this . . . is not a serious matter but an overdramatized matter only made serious because of her mother .
It seems her father and grandparents were deceived by it too .
"It's really serious ah!" Mother Bai suddenly felt like she was being scolded by someone in their mind .
"Gabriel is hiding a girl from us!" She aggrievedly exclaimed
The servants who stood by the side shook their heads .
They really felt bad for their eldest miss . To be called so abruptly from a busy day at work . Madam Bai should really tone down her overdramatic-ness .
