NovelAppBeal and Johanna sat on the sofa with serious expressions on their faces.
Johanna‘s face darkened noticeably.
Beal questioned her, “Lila White! Is there really something going on between you and Eric Torres?”
It was rare for Beal to call Lila by her full nlike this.When Lila heard this, she was too scared to say anything.
Having heard his question, Lila knew that her parents had found out about her and Eric.
Getting involved with a married man? How arrogant Lila used to be! If this was before, she‘d never have thought of doing such a
despicable thing at all.
However, things had changed a lot since the skydiving incident.She had started to feel that the Whites were beginning to
distance themselves from her.She was still in the family now due to the fact that she had been with them for years.
That was all there was to it.She knew for a fact that the Whites didn‘t have much love left for her anymore.
When the White family really decided to abandon her, where could she go next? She really didn‘t want to go back to her birth
parents‘ home.
She had long becaccustomed to the life of a spoiled rich daughter.
The best option now for her was to find a rich guy and have him marry her.She couldn‘t count on the White family any longer.She
had to find herself a promising future on her own.
When she first met Eric, she was attending a party held by her friend.
Rich men were usually playboys, but Eric was a different matter.He looked both mature and sophisticated.
‘ With just a few words from Eric, Lila fell head over heels for him.He was handsome, rich, and definitely irresistible for girls Lila‘s
age.
Born in a rich and powerful family, Eric was still in his prand was very good–looking.He was the ideal candidate for many
unmarried young ladies from wealthy families based in Barnes.
The only problem was that he was already married and with a child too.
Lila had hesitated at first.She didn‘t want to get herself involved in other people‘s marriages.
“Very nice to meet you, Miss White.”
It was when Eric cto accost her with a glass of wine in his hand that she changed her mind.His words had a way of shaking
her greatly.
“Do you know me?”
Lila was a little shocked to hear him say that.
Ever since Natalie cinto the picture, many people who had fawned over her had been taking care to avoid her.
With a calm look on his face, Eric said to her, “There‘s only one Miss White in Barnes; isn‘t that right?”
Lila suddenly felt touched in her heart.It turned out that there was still someone who remembered who she was.
“I have a sister.”
Feeling confused, Eric apologized, “I‘m sorry, I’ve only heard of Lila White from the White family.”
Just one glance and swords were enough to make a young girl becinfatuated with him.
Lila had no idea why she went to the hotel with Eric that night.
When she woke up, she instantly began to regret it.
Just then, Eric said affectionately in her ear, “My wife and I have already broken up.We‘ll divorce soon and I’ll go on to marry you
by then.Lila, I’ve had a crush on you for a long talready.”
Holding Eric in her arms, Lila felt that she had finally found her man.The Torres family happened to be a big family.
Even if she turned out to be his second wife, it would still be much better for her than to marry the man Johanna introduced her
to.
After their first night together, Lila had been dating Eric ever since.She knew that Johanna and Beal wouldn‘t approve of her
affair with a married man, so she had been keeping it under wraps.
However, they were able to find out anyway.
Lila didn‘t dare to lie to them and could only admit truthfully, “Dad, Mom, we‘re in a relationship.”
“In a relationship? You know full well that Eric‘s child is three years old! And that his wife is still pregnant with their second child!”
Johanna pounded her fists on the table and she shouted angrily, “Lila! How could you stoop so low as to be the home–wrecker?”
Lila refused to accept what Johanna said.
“Eric doesn‘t love his wife anymore.They‘re going to get divorced, and I’ll marry him after that.I am not a home–wrecker when
there‘s nothing to wreck in the first place!”
Johanna was so angry that she just shook her head in frustration.
“Do you even know what you‘re talking about, Lila? If he really is going to divorce his wife, why would he impregnate her with a
second child?”
Beal had never been humiliated like this.
“Dad, Mom, Eric explained tothat he had no choice.He married his wife for the sake of his family inheritance.His wife argues
with him every single day, and it has been torturing him to the point of depression.I‘m the reason he started to feel better.For
once, trust Eric.I am begging you.Once he‘s divorced, he‘ll marryright away.Nobody will find out about this.”
Lila started sobbing.She had already planned her future with Eric.
