Avenger's coming back

Chapter 382 Self-defeating

In the direction of the door of the mourning hall, people came in and out, but they did not see Lily, but saw Jackson and his family.

Jackson and Amanda walked in the front of the crowd, followed by Betty and Carry, and finally came to Noble and Sherry. According to their seniority, they were the youngest younger generation, so they walked in the end.

They walked to the center of the mourning hall and bowed in front of Wayne's portrait.

This was probably the first real meeting between the two families after Angela married into the Gu clan, but no one had expected it to be at such a special moment.

After the mourning, Jackson and Amanda walked to the front of Eric, Richard, Angela, Dale and Ethan.

Jackson glanced at them and his eyes fell on Richard. He looked at him more and frowned imperceptibly, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Eric greeted them respectfully, "Grandpa, grandma."

When he saw Betty and Carry behind them, he called out, "Aunt Betty, aunt Carry."

He said to Noble, "Brother, could you please take care of them for me? I'm busy now."

However, before Noble could answer, Jackson said, "Just go ahead with your business. Leave us alone."

Eric still wanted to say something, but he bit his lips and said nothing in the end. He really wanted to greet them well, but he was really exhausted.

Hearing this, Richard turned to them and said apologetically, "Dad, mom, I really can't spare time to entertain you today. Please forgive me."

Jackson snorted, "We are not unreasonable people."

Amanda nudged him secretly and said to Richard with a smile, "We understand. You don't have to take special care of us today. We have plenty of time after we finish our work."

Richard nodded apologetically, and his hands on both sides unconsciously sweated. This was the first time he had a face-to-face conversation with his father-in-law after he married Angela for seventeen or eight years. He was really nervous.

Dale, who was standing next to them, turned to look at them subconsciously when she heard what he called them. It was obvious that they were either rich or powerful. She had heard about the affair between Angela and Richard before, and guessed her identity. Now it seemed that her identity was more than enough to accompany him.

Unexpectedly, she took a step back slightly. Although she had already lost her interest in Richard, she still felt a little guilty for what she had done to him before.

Jackson and Amanda didn't notice Dale's action. They said a few words to Angela and turned to walk out.

Unlike before, today's Sherry didn't say a word from beginning to end. She just looked around with a pair of round eyes. After looking around, a hint of disappointment flashed through her eyes. At last, she could only turn around and leave.

Seeing them walk out, Eric withdrew his sight and bent slightly to express his thanks to the other people who came to mourn.

At the end of the line, Sherry tugged at the sleeves of Noble and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't Lily come to the funeral of Eric's grandfather?"

Taking a look at the people walking in front of him subconsciously and seeing that they didn't notice, he replied in a low voice, "Maybe she hasn't arrived yet. It's impossible that she won't come for this kind of thing."

Lily was sensible. Although Wayne didn't treat her well before, he also liked her very much later. So it was impossible for her not to come. If she didn't come, perhaps she was delayed by something.

"But it's almost over. She hasn't come yet." Said Sherry in a low voice.

"Maybe she came early and has gone back. She has a special identity now. She can avoid meeting the sun clan. What if she is not careful..."

"Lily!" Before he could finish his words, he saw that Sherry looked in another direction and shouted at Lily, who was pushing the wheelchair.

The noise was so loud that Betty and Carry, who were walking in front of them, turned their heads at the same time.

"What are you fussing about?" Carry frowned unhappily, "This is not our home. Restrain yourself."

"Oh, I see." She answered perfunctorily and ran towards Lily without even looking at her.

"Hey, you..." Carry tried to stop her but failed.

Seeing this, Noble had to mediate, "Aunt, Sherry just saw an acquaintance."

"An acquaintance?" Carry frowned subconsciously and looked in the direction of Sherry.

At the same time, Betty also looked over. Not only them, but also Jackson and Amanda, who were walking in the front, also looked over. When they saw the person that Sherry was looking for, they frowned all the time. It was the girl they saw in Harry's hospital last time.

Lily didn't expect to meet her here either. When her arm was held by her, she realized immediately that since all the members of Sun family had come, it was not strange for her to follow them.

"I thought you wouldn't come today." Holding her arm intimately, she said, "I was talking about you with my brother just now. He said that you might come early and would go back after the funeral, but my intuition told me that you hadn't come yet. Now it seems that my intuition is right. You really haven't come yet."

Lily knew that she was talking too much. She just smiled and said, "I was delayed by something when I came here just now, so I was late."

Speaking of the delay, it was all because of Dillon. They did not expect that Dillon would come to mourn before, so they did not intend to come with him. So, early in the morning, Lily had prepared it.

Even Joe had been well prepared, including Tina and Kerr, Claire and Eden, who were supposed to go to school, also asked for leave for the school today and came here to attend the mourning.

When they were ready to leave, they received a call from Dillon, saying that he would come with them. According to the relationship between Qiao family and Gu family, it was impossible for him not to come. Moreover, he was Lily's father, so they had to wait for Dillon alone in the old house.

That's why they came so late. Otherwise, they would have come earlier. Perhaps they had already returned after the funeral.

Hearing what she said, she let go of her hands and said, "Then you'd better go in now. I'll wait for you outside. I don't want to go back with my brother. It's too boring to stay with him. I'm the only child of a

group of elders."

"Okay." Then, Lily pushed the wheelchair that Joe was sitting into the mourning hall.

Kerr helped Tina follow them closely, and the last two were Claire and Eden.

After watching them walk in, she walked back to the side of Noble. They were still waiting for her.

"Are you familiar with that little girl?" Sherry asked as soon as Carry walked over.

"Yes." Sherry nodded her head subconsciously. "She is great. She took good care of me when I was here before. She is also good at cooking. I used to go to the place where she and Eric lived for meals. I'll go back..."

"Sherry!"

"The place where she and Eric live?"

At the same time, Betty caught the key point of her words and asked.

However, the careless woman didn't seem to think she had said anything wrong. "Yes, she lives with brother Eric."

"Sherry!" Noble called her again, but it didn't work. Eric and Lily had been keeping their relationship a secret from the Sun family.

He patted his forehead remorsefully. If he had known it earlier, he would not have brought her here or taken her away directly. But now, she had caused trouble to Lily and Eric again.

"You mean that girl lives with Eric?" It was Jackson who asked this question, he was very serious. He had heard every word that had just been said.

"Yes… Yes." At this moment, with a sad face, she felt so regretful that she wanted to slap herself. Her elder brother had warned her not to let her grandparents know about their relationship before, but now, it was her who spoke it out.

"Nonsense!" Jackson shouted, his face full of anger, "They are so young, but they live together. Doesn't her family leave her alone?" Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"She… She is Eric's fiancee."

"Fiancee?" Jackson couldn't stay calm anymore, "How old is Eric? He already has a fiancee? He is a member of Sun family. How could he get a fiancee without our consent?"

"Grandpa." After casting a secret glance at her, he walked to Jackson and persuaded, "Don't be angry. It's a long story. Today is the day of grandpa's funeral. It's not appropriate to make a fuss here, nor to talk about it with him. When he finishes his grandfather's funeral, we can talk to him about it later."

Jackson snorted and looked around. He found that someone was looking at him strangely, so he had to compromise. "I'll interrogate him myself after he finishes!"

"Okay, I'll bring Eric here to let you interrogate him." He had no other choice.

Amanda didn't look good, but she didn't say anything. She just closed her lips.

Realizing that she had said something wrong, Sherry lowered her head and didn't dare to look at anyone. If she had known it earlier, she wouldn't have said anything more. She had planned to praise Lily in front of them and let them have a good impression on her. But now, she had made a fool of herself.

Betty and Carry were also shocked by the news, but their reaction was not as strong as Jackson's.
