Sir, Madame Has Run Away Again!

Why was he?!

Chapter 406

As such a remarkable person, Isabella wasn’t exaggerating when she said that Eric was the dream lover of countless ladies from prominent families.

So many women were interested in him, and he also had the stunning Camille by his side, as well as the piano goddess Beverly, who I felt had some connection to him.

Both were rare beauties, and even without them it shouldn’t have been me, a married woman who was abandoned by her husband.

Maybe he thought this was fun and exciting, or maybe he had other reasons.

Though I tried my best to convince myself that everything that happened tonight was an accident, I couldn’t get over the tender look in her eyes that kept popping into my mind.

As my thoughts ran wild, I heard footsteps outside the pavilion and turned to see Richard. ‘What are you doing here?’ I asked defensively upon seeing him.

‘Someone sent me here to bring you a jacket,’ he said, handing me a female jacket.

‘No thanks,’ I rejected coldly. After what happened before, I didn’t want to be friendly with him anymore as I just felt disgusted with him.

‘I’m just doing someone a favor, and you have to accept it. Otherwise, I won’t be able to reply when I get back!’ Without waiting for my response, he dropped the jacket into my hands.

When I wanted to return it, he had already turned to leave and just stopped outside the pavilion. Turning to look at me with a sincere expression, he said: ‘Miss Lilian, I’m so sorry about what happened tonight!’

After saying something so disconcerting, he walked away and left me in complete disarray.

Why did he apologize to me? Was it because of the things he said to me earlier? Or has he already discovered my identity?

Also, who was the person he was doing a favor by bringing me the jacket? Could it be Eric?

However, he didn’t seem close to Eric, and even if they were, it didn’t make sense that Eric would ask him to bring me a jacket.

As a bachelor, asking someone to bring a coat to a married woman was as good as revealing what he was trying to hide.

Could Richard be doing Kevin a favor? This seemed to be the only possibility now.

As the wind picked up, it got colder too, and I started back after putting on the jacket I got from Richard. On the way back I ran into Dylan, and he strode up to me when he saw me. ‘Lily, I’ve been looking everywhere for you!’

‘Why are you looking for me?’ I asked, feeling guilty out of nowhere.

‘I was worried about you.’ Surprised by the jacket I was wearing, he asked, ‘Who did you hang around here with?’

‘Kevin’, I casually made up, thinking he probably wasn’t close with Kevin and wouldn’t ask him about it even if they were.

‘Really?’ he asked instead, full of doubt in his voice.

Refusing to continue this topic, I quickly changed the subject. ‘Where is Jessica?’

‘She’s in there.’

‘Why are you not with her but left her alone in the house?’ I complained.
