Lady Boss Please Spoil Your Husband - Chapter 362

Silence wafted around the four corners of the room followed by an air of awkwardness.

Wei Fang should’ve forseen that nothing would go as planned when we’re talking about Lillie Bai.

“Uhm, so…” He lamely started. “What do you want to know?”

Lillie gave him a look that said “really? That’s the best you could muster?”

Clearing his throat, Wei Fang looked at her and said, “Thea, back then…I was gullible.” Sorrow and regret crept over his eyes. “I failed as your best friend by not believing you.”

Lillie’s expression remained blank, it’s difficult to read what she’s thinking, so Wei Fang decided to continue.

“I believed their lies, I hurt your feelings…I didn’t gave you a chance to explain yourself. I ran away like a coward after hearing the things you’ve done, the things you were accused of.”

Lillie wasn’t certain what to feel in this situation. Should she feel sad? Angry? Heck, happy?

Hm, that’s strange, she doesn’t feel any of those.

There he is, spilling his emotions while she stare at him stoically as if he was a boring piece in a museum.

“I’m sorry, Thea, for everything. I want to make everything right again, between us. I want to make it up to you. Just, please, tell me what I can do for you to forgive me?” Wei Fang opened his palm and extended his arms, desperate to make her see his grief and self-blame.

However, he received no response, not even a slight flicker of emotion was present in her cold eyes.

Her silence was nerve-racking. And the longer Lillie look at him without uttering a word, the more Wei Fang was discouraged, thinking that all hope was truly lost.

Despondently, he lowered his head. His eyes locked on the napkin that was delicately folded into a swan.

“What’s there to forgive, Mr. Wei?”

With those words, Wei Fang’s heart fluttered with hope. He interpreted those words in an optimistic view.

As he reverted his gaze back to the cold beauty, his interpretation didn’t seem to share what she had in mind as he took into account the expression—or lack, thereof—she’s making.

What’s there to forgive, she said. His initial presumption was that she was never upset with him, or that she had already forgiven him.

He even dared to make himself believe that she simply forgot what happened, hence the interrogative reply.

But the unfaltering indifference and the schooled stoic face she’s famous for said otherwise.

He can see now…he means nothing to her, she couldn’t care less about him. His apology means nothing to her. He no longer holds a place in her life, in her heart. Not anymore.

For all he knows, he’s nothing more but a stranger.

“Thea, I—”

“That ‘thing’ we had before, Mr. Wei? Please forget about it. There’s nothing you can do to bring it back.” Lillie retorted. “You don’t need to apologize for that…woeful event.”

Now that Lillie realizes it, she was thankful of Wei Fang for leaving from her life. Although the emotional pain she’d gone through was unwarranted, the end result was, nonetheless, worth it.

If Wei Fang didn’t left and he believed her over those baseless accusations, their relationship would’ve evolved into ‘more than friends’.

Wei Fang was her first crush and first male friend. The first boy to talk to her without reeling back because of what used to look like.

She was nerdy and shy; thus, a favorite and easy targeted for bullies.

Wei Fang protected her from them, he stood up for her and became her knight. It was because of him that she’ve learned how to be confident, how to fight back and stand up for herself

It wasn’t hard to have feelings for him after all he’d done for her. Wei Fang was loved by many in their school. Not only was he rich and attractive, he was gentle, chivalrous, and compassionate.

A complete package in the eyes of hormonal teenagers.

Lillie’s feelings for him didn’t go unnoticed by most people. Wei Fang was also aware of her feelings for him but didn’t said anything.

He likes her, yes. But he wasn’t certain at that time if it’s platonic or romantic.

Her closeness to the school’s heartthrob incited envy among the female students.

So, what happened next was pretty obvious.

Envy is an ugly thing indeed. They tried to break them apart by ruining Wei Fang’s good impression of her.

“How could you do such a thing?”

“They did nothing wrong to you.”

“I thought you were different.”

“Stay away from me, I don’t want to see you again.”

Lillie cried for many days. She ran after Wei Fang when she found out he’s switching schools because of his father’s business.

She tried to tell him that she didn’t do anything those girls accused her of.

She didn’t destroyed their stuffs, she didn’t took lewd pictures of them and sell it to pedophiles, she didn’t hurt them physically or mentally.

She did nothing wrong.

But he didn’t believed her.

“Please, please, believe me…” She cried to him. “I didn’t—”

He harshly slapped her hand off him when she gripped his shirt to stop him from leaving.

“Let go, Theodora. What you did was unforgivable. I don’t want to associate myself with a heartless person like you.”

Lillie wanted to laugh as she remembered his words.

She wasn’t heartless before, yet he didn’t wanted to be anywhere near her. Now that she’s heartless, the cruelest person you could imagine, he wanted to come back and reenter her life.

Oh, you gotta love the irony here.

After Wei Fang pulled himself out her life, leaving heartache in its wake, someone else came in and mended her teared heart with love and patience.

If Wei Fang didn’t left, Ethan wouldn’t have entered her life.

Their lives wouldn’t intertwined the way it is now.

And Lillie couldn’t imagine what her life would look like if she and Ethan didn’t ended up together.

Being with Ethan was the happiest thing that has ever happened in her life, next would be the existence of the fruit of their love.

Their baby.

So if Lillie was ever given the chance to go back in time and was asked if she would repair her relationship with Wei Fang, her answer would be a firm ‘no’.

She wouldn’t trade the life she build with Ethan for anything else.
