Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier)

The window was slightly ajat at the end of the corridor, letting in a chill breeze that swept through and set Lily's long hair dancing wildly.

She stuffed her hands into the pockets of her down jacket, pulling it tighter around her as she walked briskly forward.

"Don't worry. Dad will sell the house when I divorce Xavier. Hayden's medical expenses will be covered."

Hazel grabbed berjacket. "Don't even think about returning to the Joyner residence if you go through with the divorce! Your father will ruin the family legacy built over decades. Neither your father not I have the face to meet our ancestors because of you!" The sudden tug made Lily stumble. The down jacket she wore had been bought two years ago. It was slightly tighter on her when she bought it.

However, it hung loosely on her this year. There was even room to fit half of her. She had lost a noticeable amount of weight recently. It wasn't evident on her Trame, but she could feel it from her clothes. Even last year's pants no longer stayed up. However, Hazel didn't care about her at all. All she cared about was Bobby. Neither the family's business nor Hayden held as much importance in her heart as Bobby did, let alone Lily.

"You've always said that married daughter is gone for good. I shouldn't expect anything in retum for helping my maiden family. Whether the Joyner family thrives or you can face the ancestors with pride has nothing to do with me," Lily said with a cold expression Hazel's face darkened. She stared at Lily for a few seconds before her anger deflated all at once, like air escaping from a punctured balloon.
