Chapter 6 You Are Just A Pet to Him

Chapter 6 You Are Just A Pet to Him

Courtney helped Lilian take off the helmet. Both of them were soaking wet, but the coffee bags in Lilian's arms were intact.

"These people are crazy. How could they not have a coffee machine in such a big company?" Courtney complained, taking the coffee takeout from Lilian's hand and smiling at her.

"Sweetheart, wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

Lilian nodded and silently walked to the front gate to wait.

The rain was getting heavier, and after this rain, winter would come soon.

Lilian looked at the heavy rain outside, and her look became somewhat distant.

It was raining just as heavily the day Grandpa Thomas took her to the Landau family. At that time, she timidly hid behind Grandpa Thomas, enduring the surveying gaze of nine-year-old Francis.

Francis asked who she was.

At that time, Thomas joked, "She's the wife I found for you. What do you think?"

Nine-year-old Francis sneered, "I don't want a skinny monkey as my wife."

At that time, she was super skinny, with dry, yellow hair, weighing probably less than the monkeys in the zoo.

But then he said, "If you don't eat more, you will be too skinny to be my wife."

She knew he was joking, but she took it seriously every time.

Lilian was lost in thought when a voice brought her back to reality. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"With such heavy rain, I don't want to work today. I'm leaving now."

Julian, who was on her phone, walked out of the company gate in high heels with a model-like stride. She turned her head and saw Lilian, drenched.

"Lilian?"

She was on the phone with Francis, and he heard her calling out Lilian's name from the other end of the line.

Julian turned to glance at the building gate behind and then glanced back at Lilian. She hung up the phone and asked her, "Are you here to see Frank?"

Lilian waved her hand to indicate that she wasn't here to see him.

Julian raised an eyebrow and walked towards Lilian. Her surveying eyes were like x-rays.

"Frank says you're innocent, but I don't think you're at all. Coming here and getting yourself drenched like this just to see him?" Julian said mockingly, reaching out and pinching a wet strand of hair on Lilian's shoulder. "Oh, you do look pitiful."

"Lilian stared at Julian, whose face was full of smugness and pride.

"But what will this bring to you? To Frank, you're just like a pet," Julian sneered."

"He pat a puppy's head, and you think that's love? Don't bother with these thoughts."

Lilian pursed her lips. Perhaps because the rain was too cold, her lips were slightly pale.

She didn't need Julian to tell her this. Lilian herself understood it.

Many times, Francis looked at her with the same eyes as he looked at the pet cat at home.

He really liked the cat. Sometimes, when he forgot to feed it before going to work, he would come back home to feed it.

Be liked was not to be loved.

Courtney just finished delivering the coffee. She heard Julian's words while she walked out of the gate. She quickly walked up to Lilian, shielding her and looking Julian up and down.

"Oh God. Why is a pig here? What is this pig grunting about? What? Are you lost?"

Julian's expression changed, and she glared at Courtney. "Did you forget to brush your teeth after breakfast? What sh*t are you saying? Who do you think you are? You have the right to join this."

Courtney crossed her arms and looked at Julian playfully.

"And who do you think you are? Bullying Lilian and thinking you're superior because she can't speak? I'm telling you... I've never seen someone like you, who acts like a legal wife. Aren't you just afraid that nobody knows the fact that you are a shameless home-wrecker who depends on her husband."

"You..." Being choked by her words, Julian flushed.

She hated being called a home-wrecker. If it weren't for Lilian, she should have been the one to marry Francis! Why should she bear this shame?

Taking advantage of Francis's favor, Julian had always been arrogant. No one had ever dared to insult her like this. So, she raised her hand and was about to slap Courtney in the face.

But Courtney wouldn't let this woman succeed. Before Julian could slap her, she slapped Julian first.

"Ah!!"

Julian was wearing high heels. This slap made her stagger back and fall to the ground.

Julian held her foot in pain, and tears streaming down her face.

This situation shocked Lilian.

Courtney looked down at Julian and said, "You want to hit me? Who do you think you are? You shameless home-wrecker."

Julian endured the pain and stared at Courtney, and her chest heaving violently with anger.

Courtney pulled Lilian's hand and said, "Let's go."

Lilian kept looking back. Then, she saw Francis rushing out and lifting Julian up from the ground. Even through the heavy rain, she could see his doting and caring for Julian.

But he didn't even glance at Lilian standing in the rain.

Courtney started the motorcycle engine and drove away with Lilian. They disappeared into the rain.

The heavy rain blurred Lilian's vision, as well as the shape of the towering building behind them.
