Avenger's coming back

Chapter 231 Ulterior Motives

Hearing Eric's words, Ellison put away the recorder pen and went back to listen. He was not in a hurry to listen.

After breakfast, everyone had to go back.

Of course, Lily was sent back by Eric. She had planned to ask Eric to drive Anna back first, and then they would go back. But Noble said that he would drop her off on the same way, so she asked him to escort Anna back.

As for Ellison, let him drive back by himself. No one was on the same way with him, because Hailey was angry with him and left!

But before leaving, Eric said something to him, indicating that he should take care of Lily in the following days.

After all, he had to go to G city with Noble. The work of his grandfather's company couldn't be finished overnight, so it might take a long time to stay there. Besides, there were too many hidden dangers around Lily, so he was afraid that she would encounter something during the time he left.

After that, they went back to their own home to look for their mothers.

On the second day, Eric and Noble went back to G City, leaving the matter of the Guan city aside for the time being.

Except for the people closest to Eric, knew his return, including his father, Richard didn't know. Of course, Angela knew it.

On the other side, Hailey left Lily's and Eric's nests after they parted that day. Lily didn't know where she had gone and didn't leave any address. She just said that she would leave for a period of time, so she left with her wound in her hand and her suitcase.

And Lily didn't ask her to stay. She knew that Hailey left probably because of Ellison's words, "This is the Guan city. As long as you live here, I have the final say in everything about you." After all, she had planned to leave the world of Ellison. It took time to forget, so she left.

As for Lily, she didn't say anything to let her live. It's good for her to travel. As for Ellison… Just let him be upset. She believe that after listening to the recording, he will understand what Hailey is thinking.

Of course, she also hoped that he could understand his feelings. If he still didn't understand, they, as outsiders, would be helpless.

She had done her best to help them. She couldn't force the two of them to face their own feelings and admit that they liked each other.

As a result, it was Ellison's own business to deal with the relationship in the end.

In a twinkling of an eye, fifteen days passed.

On the sixteen day of the first lunar month, something big or small happened to the Gu family. Wayne personally took Dale and her son to settle down, along with Simon and Jade.

Richard and Angela didn't show up, let alone Eric. He was in G city and had no time to care about anything in the Guan city.

Although Ethan's residence had been settled in the Gu family, it hadn't been settled in the household register of Richard. Because Wayne was afraid that if he was forced too hard, it would hurt the relationship between the father and son. He was afraid that he would really break up with him in a fit of anger, so he took a step back.

But in Dale's opinion, it didn't matter. As long as Ethan took root in the Gu family, things would be easy to deal with in the future.

It happened to be the beginning of the new term. After settling down, Wayne took Ethan to the middle school and personally handled the transfer formalities for him.

He was in the third grade of primary school, so he was in the best class in the third grade. It was exactly the class where Lily was in.

The second day was the official class time.

When Lily saw that Ethan walked into the classroom under the guidance of her head teacher, Lily was stunned for a moment. She couldn't believe that she would be in the same class with him!

Although she didn't know what kind of person he was, she didn't like him just because of his identity. After all, he was the illegitimate child of Richard. Not long ago, Angela and Eric didn't have a good time on the New Year's Eve or thirty and returned to G city.

"Guys, this is the new comer, Ethan. From now on, he is a member of our class." On the platform, the head teacher introduced Ethan to his classmates.

But Ethan didn't show much expression on his face. Instead, he looked very calm. There was no emotion on his face. He glanced at everyone off the stage.

When his eyes swept across Lily, he stopped for a moment, and Lily also noticed it. The two people's eyes met in the air, and after a moment, they immediately moved away.

Ethan's eyes twinkled, and a faint smile flashed at the corners of his mouth, which was hard to notice.

"Ethan, your seat is temporarily arranged in the middle of the fourth row. Is that okay?" The head teacher pointed at the empty seat and asked.

"Teacher..." Ethan turned to the head teacher and smiled politely, "May I sit next to Lily?"

"Well..." The head teacher was in a dilemma. She took a look at the direction of Lily. There was no spare seat near her seat. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"I heard that she ranked first in the whole grade and her grades far exceeded the first. I want to sit next to her because I want to ask her if there is anything I don't understand." Ethan explained with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Lily raised her eyebrows subconsciously. She was sure that Ethan did it on purpose.

Although she was not familiar with him and had only seen him for a few times, he must know the relationship between her and Eric, so his purpose must not be simple.

What Ethan said sounded very ordinary to everyone, except for two people involved.

"Becky, you..." At last, the head teacher fixed her eyes on Becky, because she was Lily's desk mate, and her family background was not particularly strong…

"Teacher, I don't want to change my seat." Before she could finish her words, Becky refused. After that, she glanced at Ethan unhappily and said, "I also have a lot of questions that I don't understand in study. I have to ask Lily more."

After saying that, she directly held Lily's arm.

The head teacher was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect to be refused so decisively by the student.

A smile appeared on Lily's face. Becky refused decisively. She looked up at Ethan, smiled and said nothing.

But when Malcolm saw her smile, he also raised the corners of his mouth. He turned his eyes and looked at the head teacher. "Teacher, I don't have to next to Lily. I'll sit close to her."

The head teacher smiled awkwardly. It was Mr. Wayne who sent Ethan here in person, so she had to meet his requirements. All the students in the middle school were either rich or powerful, and no one dared to offend them easily.

So, in the end, the head teacher persuaded the student sitting at the left hand of Lily, who was in the middle of the passage, to change his seat and let Ethan sit there.

"Hello, I'm Ethan." After sitting down, Ethan greeted Lily politely.

Turning around slightly, Lily replied politely with a smile, "I know. My name is Lily."

"I know." With an unreadable smile in his eyes, Ethan said, "Thank you so much in the future."

"It doesn't matter. We should help each other." Lily turned her head and ignored him.

Just a few words, Lily was even more unhappy with Ethan. The smile on his face was always strange, especially the inexplicable smile in his eyes from time to time, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

As a table mate and best friend, Becky gently touched Lily's arm and pushed the draft book in front of her, indicating her to have a look.

When she lowered her head and looked at the contents on the sketch book, Lily suddenly laughed. Becky's vigilance became more and more serious.

Because she wrote, "He is ulterior motives. You must be careful!"

Although she didn't name, Lily knew who she was talking about. Maybe she chose to write it because she was afraid that others would hear it.

"Okay." Lily nodded slightly, "I know."

However, Ethan didn't know how to restrain himself. It seemed that even a careless person like Becky could see it. There must be many other people who could see it.

Seeing her nod, Becky took back the draft and continued to write and draw with her head down.

Lily was curious about what she was going to write. What she saw was that she was drawing a sketch. She was drawing two kids. One of them was kicked away by the other and then disappeared in the sky.

A smile appeared on her face. Becky was getting cuter and cuter.

After class, Lily walked out of the classroom and found a quiet corner to call Eric. She knew that he hadn't come back to the Guan city, and he was so busy in G city that he didn't even have time to go back to school.

"Girl, do you miss me?" As soon as the phone was connected, there came Eric's low and tired voice.

"Yes." Lily lowered her head and said with a smile on her face, "I miss you so much. When will you go back to school?"

"It may take some time. There are still a lot of things to deal with here. I have informed uncle Kerr in advance about the school."

"Oh, no matter how busy you are, you should take care of yourself and rest. Don't be tired." Lily said in a soft voice, and then added, "Ethan has also been transferred to our school. He is in the same class with me."

"……"

On the other side of the phone, Eric suddenly fell silent. After a while, he said, "Stay away from him. Although he looks silent, he must be shrewd."

"Okay." Lily nodded. She knew that Eric was worried about her again, so she didn't tell him what happened today in detail. She was afraid that he would be distracted and couldn't work hard in G city.
