Chapter 236

With that thought in mind, Aurelia continued to peek through the hollow space. Seth sat beside Lily and held her hand.

“Lily, I know that your dad isn’t in good health, but it doesn’t matter. I don’t mind. I’ll continue to work hard to give you a better life.”

“You… Seth, you really don’t care about that? My dad needs lifelong medication, and a marriage won’t help me much.” Lily looked at Seth with hope.

Seth pinched Lily’s cheek.

“Your problems are mine as well. I’ll be honored if your dad is willing to marry his only daughter to me. It’s just… I’ve recently bought a car, so I don’t have much savings now. Otherwise, I’d definitely buy a big house for you.”

“It’s fine. Although my family doesn’t have much money, my grandparents each left us a house. My dad lives in one, and we live in the other. It’s more than enough.”

Deceived by Seth’s affection, Lily blurted out everything about her family.

Seth’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he squeezed Lily’s hand even tighter.

“Where’s that house? Don’t get me wrong. I just want to make commuting easier for you in the future.”

Lily nodded and continued without hesitation, “It’s on Maple Road. Although it’s in the suburbs, the environment is pretty good.”

“Oh, is that so? Isn’t that far from where I work? I’ll have to spend at least three hours on the road every day.” Seth frowned.

“Well, the houses in Seacester are too expensive. We’re still young, so we can’t afford them.”

“Lily.” Seth lifted Lily’s hand affectionately and kissed it. “What’s mine is yours. I’m willing to sell the car, and you can sell the house. Then, we can buy a house of our own together.”

Aurelia felt as if there were ants crawling all over her body as she watched this

scene.

Feeling Leslie’s eyes on her, she turned her head and saw that Leslie was frowning. His face was tense.

He narrowed his eyes at her as if he was asking why she had such bad taste in the

past.

Aurelia covered her forehead in embarrassment.

She narrowed her eyes at him and gave a silent message: Mind your own business.

Surprisingly, Leslie smiled in amusement.

His restrained smile was pleasant, and his features were relaxed, which made him even more good–looking.

Aurelia couldn’t help but stare, but her thoughts were soon brought back to reality by Seth’s words.

“Lily, you don’t have to worry about the mortgage. I’ll take care of it. It’s just that my mom has always been worried that I might get scammed because I’m not a local. So, you might need to compromise a little there.

“Put my name on the property certificate first. After we get married, we can add your name.”

With such a sentence, he could directly turn someone else’s house into his own. And if he succeeded, this would be considered prenuptial property.

Seth was becoming more and more cunning.

Aurelia thought that Lily would reject him, but she actually started considering it. Lily frowned. “Seth, I…”

Seth suddenly took out a ring box from his pocket. It had the Harry Winston logo printed on it.

As he opened the box, a dazzling diamond ring came into sight.

Could Seth afford that?

Aurelia glanced at Leslie in surprise, and he shook his head in response.

It was another fake item.

Aurelia was impressed by Seth at this point. Everything about him was fake, and there wasn’t a single real item on him.

“Lily, I’ve wanted to marry you since the first time I saw you,” Seth said.

“Seth…” Tears welled up in Lily’s eyes.

Seth put the ring on her finger and kissed her forehead, looking like the perfect lover.

Everyone around them couldn’t help but cheer when they saw them.

In the heat of the moment, Lily wanted to agree to his proposal. “Seth, let’s

Just then, the waiter who was walking by Aurelia and Leslie’s table tripped over something, and the lemon tea in his hand spilled all over Seth’s table.

Seth stood angrily. “What are you doing? Do you know how expensive these dishes are?“|
