Chapter 1278: There was no turning back
The Next Day...
Lily stretched her arms and legs, her lips already curled up—a sign of a good night’s sleep. When she snapped her eyes open, they quickly gleamed with excitement. She hadn’t been awake for more than a minute, yet she was already brimming with anticipation.
Why?
Because she knew exactly what she had done last night.
Lily turned her head to the bedside table, reaching for her phone. Without getting up, still snuggled under her blanket, she scrolled through her contacts. She picked who to call first like a lottery, then grinned.
She tapped Max’s name.
Ring... ring...
Lily waited patiently, but there was no answer.
"Huh?" She furrowed her brows and checked the time. It was already ten in the morning—a little late, even for her. However, Lily had her own flexible schedule at the company. Perks of being the only daughter.
She tried calling Max again. On the third attempt, the call didn’t even ring.
"Did he just turn off his phone?" she wondered, narrowing her eyes before a realization hit her. "Or... did the two of them—"
Lily gasped as her wild imagination took off. Could it be that Max had turned off his phone so he wouldn’t be disturbed... because he was with Ginnie?
