Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 588: Their Story

The driver drove steadily and delivered her safely back to the Sloan Family.

Lily didn’t know that this was a special arrangement by Finnian.

She wasn’t used to being alone with strangers and pondered whether to make a call to Finnian.

She found an unmarked number in her contacts, hesitating.

Should she call or not?

Lily made a decision: if the next intersection is a red light, she’ll call!

Fate always loved to play tricks.

It was a green light.

But she still called... The ringtone played for ten seconds, and although nothing happened, her face was beet red.

She felt inexplicably like she was being roasted on a fire.

After less than half a minute, Lily hung up.

"Ms. Sloan, we’ve arrived at the place you mentioned," the driver in the front called out.

She left a thank you and got out of the car.

Suddenly hit by the cold wind outside, Lily shivered.

The scent of the hotel was blown away at that moment.

The Sloan Family residence was empty; her parents had gone to Palm Cove for their honeymoon in mid-December, and the housemaid was on vacation, leaving her with solitude filling the rooms.

Lily was still swept with drowsiness; she planned to take a nap first and deal with everything else after waking up.

Even though she thought this way, her heart still secretly anticipated something.

Finnian’s actions repeatedly dashed her expectations.

...

Lily slept until the afternoon, her WeChat flooded with countless messages but none belonged to Finnian.

Unwilling to give up, she scrolled through them over and over.

Finally, her arm dropped weakly, and after a while, she called that number stubbornly.

This time, it was quickly answered.

"Woken up?"

Through the phone, Lily clearly heard the other person’s voice, hoarse and not as gentle as usual.

The words she was about to question stopped at the tip of her tongue and ultimately couldn’t be uttered directly.

"Finnian, how could you leave me alone at the hotel so easily?"

"If I stayed there, it wouldn’t be proper."

Lily’s face flushed red instantly, and she buried her face in the pillow.

The slight sound reached Finnian’s ears, and he probably guessed the little girl was embarrassed.

Lily stopped her wild thoughts and returned to her normal expression, "Indeed, it’s not proper. Mr. Lawrence thought things through more thoroughly."

Finnian didn’t like her tone, fearing it was wishful thinking, leading to a stretch of awkward silence.

The fire Lily had just extinguished was about to roar again.

She was originally a carefree girl, yet she couldn’t control her emotions in front of Finnian.

Just a second before she was about to break down, the voice from the phone spoke almost reverently: "Lily, what if there was a legitimate reason?"

...

After that day, the relationship between Lily and Finnian underwent significant changes, but neither broke through the barrier between them.

Before Spring Festival.

Elaine informed Nora Northwood in advance that she would be leaving Stanton City for a while.

They were going to return to the "root of the Hutchinson Family" in another city.

Jasper Sinclair listened and showed a dissatisfied expression, "You’ve only been with me a few days, why are you leaving again?"

On the first day they reconciled, he had taken her home, and he was naturally reluctant to let her leave now.

"I’ll be back in a week; it just gives you time to handle your work."
