Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier)

Chapter 417 Lily could tell which restaurant the dishes were from just by looking at them.

"Are you feeling touched?" Hayden asked while handing Lily a set of cutlery. "Don't start crying out of gratitude for me just yet. Eat now while the food's still hot. It won't taste as good once it goes cold."

Lily accepted the cutlery. However, the door to the ward opened before she managed to take a bite. Xavier entered the room. He only realized it was dinner time after noticing Lily and Hayden having dinner.

"Why are you here?"

Hayden looked annoyed. It was just then he noticed the blazer and notebook on the couch. "Take your things and leave. I'll take good care of Lily!"

"No one needs to stay. I hired a caretaker."

Only after the words left Lily's mouth did she realize with some irritation that the caretaker she had requested at noon had not appeared even once.

Xavier walked over to the couch and sat down, looking like he had no intention to leave. "I canceled the request."

Lily's expression was tight with displeasure. It became clear that Xavier wasn't going to listen to her no matter what she said. He would make his own decisions while ignoring her feelings and opinions.

"Even if there's no caretaker, you don't need to stay," Hayden hissed angrily. "I'II look after my sister. If you're so free, you should go to the police station and take care of the person you actually care about."

Lily's lashes trembled hearing Hayden's words.

Xavier's face remained impassive, and his voice was neutral when he said, "The evidence proving that Sarah and Bruce were conspiring together is conclusive. The police will wrap up the case in no time."
