Chapter 88

The booking app had yet to respond since there were no available taxis around, likely because of the
rush hour traffic. Not having a car at that moment proved to be an inconvenience

Nathaniel had bought a car before, which was still under his name. At first, Lily did not care about minor
details like those, but on second thought, she had been foolish Sull, it was not a shame considering
she did not want to bother with his belongings anymore. The car was not worth it.

Lily checked the time and debated whether to board the bus when she suddenly felt a pat on her
shoulder from behind.

The pat had a threatening force, which caused Lily to frown and turn around She tried to break free, but
underestimated how strong the grip was. The hand was still firmly on her shoulder, but the direction
had changed. Now the two were face to face.

“Lily, do you still want to fight me?”

The man in front of her was skinny, wearing a crisp white shirt with tightly–buttoned cuffs The dazzling
light reflected from his sapphire blue cuff links was blinding “Justin?” The name seemed almost
unfamiliar when said out loud. “Let‘s go somewhere for a chat?” Justin raised his eyebrows, and
although he released his grip, his request was unquestionable.

Lily did not object. She followed him across two streets and finally reached a more secluded alley.
There was a wall on one end of the alley, a dead end, so no one was around. It was extremely quiet
Justin walked to the furthest end before stopping, with one hand behind his back and the other hanging
loosely by his side. He slowly turned around.

“Long time no see, Lily.” He stood there, looking at her from head to toe as if to examine her.



“Did you come to look for me on purpose?” Lily could hardly believe such a coincidence had occurred.

Over the past few years, it was impossible for Justin not to know where she was, but they had not kept
in touch. Rather than being unable to contact each other, it was more of not wanting to.

She was so determined back then and left everything behind long ago.

Seeing Justin standing in front of her now, she had mixed feelings in her heart, but she still tried her
best to stay calm.

“Why else?” After taking two steps forward, Justin continued, “Just look at yourself. What did you do to
look like this?”

“...” Looking down at herself, Lily said nothing.

“Come back with me,” Justin made his intent clear in few words.

“No!” Lily decisively refused.

“You still haven‘t given up? How does he treat you in return for how you treat him? Don‘t tell me that
you‘re still....”

Before Justin finished his words, Lily raised her head and looked at him, “No! Nate and I have gone our
separate ways. From now on, I‘ve nothing to do with him!” “If so, why?” Justin kept staring at her, his
eyes as still as water. “Could it be that after all this time, you‘re still p*ssed off?”

“...” Biting her lower lip, Lily pondered for a long time, “I‘ll go back.”

After a pause, she added slowly, “However, not now.“
