Chapter 326

After bring stunned for a while, Frank finally compromised under Ava’s expectant gaze. The little girl’s gaze was not something he could resist.

Frank picked up the green cap and pushed the white suitcase. He caressed Ava’s neck with his other hand and pinched it gently as if he was half-wrapping it. Then, he walked out of the door of Lithern Club. At that moment, Lily’s tears that she had been holding back finally rolled down.

It did not feel good to be ignored and treated as transparent.

After waiting for so many years. Frank finally told her through his actions that she had waited for nothing. If he didn’t like it, then he didn’t like it. Love was unachievable regardless of how long she waited.

Lily thought Frank had not known Ava for a long time. Otherwise, she would not have looked unfamiliar. However, based on how much Frank doted on her, Lily had thoroughly failed in her pursuit. She was just not sure if Frank liked Ava on a whim Lily chose to believe it was true.

When Frank was still in Sapphire City, Lily accidentally overheard the call between the manager and Miss Roberts. At that time, it seemed Miss Roberts was going to Frank’s villa to get something, but she forgot the password and did not want Frank to know, so she called the manager.

The manager told Miss Roberts that Mr. Roberts did not leave his keys in the Lithern Club. Eventually, the manager suggested that Miss Roberts call Mr. Roberts to ask. Miss Roberts replied that her brother was busy chasing his sister-in-law and unavailable to speak to her.

As Lily was standing close by, she heard everything. Her heart had ached so much that she could not breathe. It was as if a rose one had meticulously protected withered suddenly without warning.

Frank placed the suitcase in the trunk and helped her open the door to the passenger seat. He placed one hand on the roof to prevent the little girl from knocking on her head. After she got in, he gently closed the door..

Ava sat down gracefully in the car and took the initiative to buckle her seatbelt. Her exquisite facial features were no longer that of being angry. She turned to her side and asked curiously, “Frank, is that beautiful lady attracted to you? She looked like she wanted to confess to you just now.”

Frank fastened his seatbelt and did not start the engine immediately. He could only tell the truth to the little girl. His right hand held the back of her head and brought it before him. Their eyes locked, and Frank said solemnly, “I can’t change her mind. What I can do is take care of mysell. We are nothing but employee-employer. Nothing will happen between us. Are you hungry?”

He smoothly changed the topic 180 degrees.

Ava was quite satisfied with Frank’s answer. She sat upright and ordered graciously, “I want to drink a milkshake.”

“Okay,” said Frank. With that, he turned on the screen in the car and called Rose.

The call was quickly picked up. Rose was applying nail polish on her balcony and leisurely chewing gum when the phone rang. Pop songs were playing in the background. She said, “Dear brother, do you miss your dear sister?”
