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

Chapter 624: Things Better Left Unheard

In the corner, each of them was heartbroken in their own way, completely unaware that a shadow had appeared behind them.

Lily heard almost everything. She knew that eavesdropping was a very unethical thing to do, but she couldn’t resist listening.

Since the spring barbecue incident ended, those two hadn’t met again.

Nora Northwood contacted Lily several times, sensing her low spirits and vaguely predicting that she might have discovered the truth.

So, one afternoon, she pointedly asked her, "Do you and Finnian Lawrence have any further plans?"

Lily knew she couldn’t hide it any longer and confessed everything.

Nora understood the whole story and realized that she was the first one to leak it out.

In an instant, she was filled with regret.

She wanted to apologize, but Lily refused, her attitude wasn’t too bad; instead, she comforted her, "I should thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known that Finnian was hiding so many things from me."

"It’s not intentional on his part. If anything, it shows he cares about you, doesn’t it?"

"Maybe."

Otherwise, why would he take me to the place where he grew up... Lily only said this last half-sentence to herself.

In the end, the matter came to nothing.

Nora had a video call with Jasper Sinclair, and she was very upset on the phone, "If I had known, I wouldn’t have asked Finnian. Otherwise, Lily wouldn’t be sad."

"Some things have to be clarified sooner or later. It’s better for your friend to cut losses in time."

That makes sense, but still, Nora didn’t find any comfort in it.

"I’m going back in a couple of days. Is there anything you want me to bring to you?"

"Not at the moment."

Nora still seemed uninterested.

"Remember to go to the hospital tomorrow. You can have the cast on your leg removed. Let Uncle Kevin go with you; I don’t feel comfortable with you going alone."

"My mom will go with me."

That night, the two of them ended their video call hastily, and Nora lay alone, staring sadly at the ceiling.

Although everyone comforted her, she still felt that if she hadn’t been so nosy and asked, things might have taken a different turn.

It seemed like she had walked into a dead end that she couldn’t find her way out of.

When she recounted the matter to Finnian Lawrence, his expression was calm.

He sincerely thanked her.

"I’ve never figured out how to talk to Lily. Now that she indirectly knows, let it be."

For the first time, Nora noticed a touch of real human emotion in Finnian Lawrence.

From smelling the "Corner" fragrance to meeting Finnian Lawrence, she’d always felt he was an unreal existence.

He was gentlemanly and took everything seriously.

But only seriously, not intimately.

Today, Nora finally sensed that he could also feel sad, that he had real human emotions.

No matter which side’s friend she was, Nora couldn’t bear to see lovers part.

She asked, "Is there really no other way?"

"But there are a few unrealistic ideas, like me leaving behind the Lawrence Family name, or Lily being willing to be kept by me outside."

Nora was stunned, unable to believe that such rebellious words would come from Finnian Lawrence’s mouth.

But, thinking about it from another perspective.

He had also thought about being with Lily forever.
