Avenger's coming back

Chapter 150 An Advanced Birthday Gift

"Eric, where are we going?" Lily couldn't help asking again after they got into the car.

Concentrating on driving the car, Eric looked ahead without looking sideways, with a light smile on his lips. "Girl, I have taken you there before. You forget so soon?"

"What?" Lily frowned. He took her to many places. During the winter vacation, they had been busy with their own matters.

Without hearing any response from her, Eric looked sideways at her and reminded her, "Have you remembered our lucky number?"

"Okay," Lily nodded her head, showing the light of nature. "Oh, I remember. Has our nest been renovated so quickly?" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

She remembered the number clearly.

"Yes." He nodded, "I got a call just now, saying that the work has been finished. So we can move in advance."

"Wow, that's great!" Lily folded her hands and said expectantly, "We have our own house and we can live here when we are free. I'm so happy just thinking about it."

Looking at her lovely face, Eric smiled and shook his head.

When they arrived at the destination, they got off the car at the same time and walked into the elevator, Eric holding Lily's hand.

The moment the door was opened, a stream of warm air blew over, contrasted sharply with the temperature outside.

It was late winter now, and although the winter in the city would not be so cold, it was still cold. The city was located in the south, so the winter brought a sense of coldness, unlike the north, which was also cold and dry.

"It's so warm." Lily couldn't help but marvel.

"Yes. It has Floor heating." Eric answered and closed the door.

"That's great..." Don't know if it was really good to install floor heating, or if the house was well decorated. Lily had released Eric's hand, and she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the observation of the house.

The whole house was decorated according to the pastoral style decided by the two people. There was a landing window between the living room and the balcony. When the sun rose in the morning, the sunlight could just pass in.

"I like it so much." Lily turned around and smiled. Happiness filled her face.

"I'm glad you like it." There was always a loving smile on Eric's face, and he paid most of his attention on Lily, so he just glanced at the house.

For him, it was much better to see her than house. Especially from her expressions, he became very happy.

"Go to the bedroom." He suggested.

"Okay." She nodded with a smile, then turned and walked towards the bedroom.

The bedroom was almost decorated in her favorite style. The wooden floor had a bit of vintage taste. There was indeed a royal chair on the small balcony outside the bedroom.

As soon as Lily saw the wooden floor in the bedroom, she unconsciously took off her shoes and stepped on it with bare feet.

Eric didn't stop her, but took off his shoes too. He walked in with bare feet. He wouldn't feel cold as long as there was a warm ground.

"It feels so good." With her hands folded before her chest, Lily looked very happy. She fixed her eyes on Eric, and then walked up to him step by step.

"Thank you, Eric. Thank you for all these you have done for me."

"Don't mention it." Eric reached out his hand, rubbing her head with affection, and said, "I told you that I would give you a lifetime of happiness ten years later. I also told you that your future was in my arms, so I must protect you well."

Hearing that, Lily's eyes became red, and there was a lump in her nose. She took the initiative to hold Eric's hand, and her voice choked. "This is the best birthday gift I've received. Thank you, Eric. Thank you very much!"

A birthday present?

Eric was stunned. He totally forgot that. He was so busy with his parents these two days that he even forgot her birthday. And the most important thing was that he hadn't prepared any gift for her!

"Girl, is today your birthday?"

Lily shook her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Tomorrow."

Swoosh… Eric breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not today. If it was tomorrow, he still had time to prepare the gift!

He had to prepare a gift for her tomorrow. Otherwise, he would be sorry for her. After all, it was the first time they had spent together and it was the first time for him to celebrate her birthday. How could he not prepare the gift well?

"Girl..." Eric reached out and held her in his arms, "Let's celebrate birthday tomorrow, okay?"

"No way." Lily shook her head. "Mom said she would take me to a place. We have an appointment with aunt and Becky in the evening. Becky's birthday is on the same day as mine."

Hearing this, Eric didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. He looked down at the girl in his arms and said, "So we don't have any time to be alone tomorrow?"

"Of course not." Lily raised her head and looked at him with an innocent look on her face. "You can go with us tomorrow and be my little follower."

"Sizz..." Eric couldn't help laughing. He scraped her nose and said, "Okay, I'm your little follower."

The next day, Eric was really a follower.

In the morning, he drove to the Qiao family's house to pick up her early. After he arrived at the place where they appointed with Tina, then they went to the place that Tina told.

She had thought it might be a special place or a fun place, but when she got there, she found it was a grove.

This place was very strange to both Eric and Lily. Even Kerr wasn't familiar with this place. Only Tina was familiar with it.

There was nothing special because there were only trees and grass, as well as small hills without grass and other hills.

Among the four people, only Tina looked solemn and a little sad. However, there was strange expression on the faces of Eric, Lily and Kerr.

"Phew!" Looking at the forest in front of her, Tina took a deep breath and walked towards a hill.

Seeing this, Kerr immediately followed her. Fearing that she would fall, he quickly walked to her side to protect her.

Eric and Lily looked at each other and then followed suit.

"Aunt, what is she doing?" Eric asked in a low voice.

Lily shook her head and said, "I don't know. We'll know when we go there."

When she arrived at a hill, Tina stopped and her eyes were full of tears. She looked at the hill in front of her and squatted down. She touched the grass on the hill naturally.

"Lily, this is your twin brother." She turned to look at Lily, her eyes red and nasal.

Hearing that, Lily's heart missed a beat. She was in a daze for a while before she came to her senses.

She had never met him and this was her brother who died before he was born. This kind of feeling was really strange for her.

Not only her, but also Eric was surprised by this. He suddenly put his arm around her shoulder.

"He left even before he had a look at the world. Even I..." Speaking of this, tears fell from her eyes, "He didn't even have a look and left in such a hurry."

"Alright, Tina." "It's not your fault. People have their own lives." Kerr comforted her, putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Yes, everyone has his own life, but he is a poor child." After dried her eyes, Tina looked back at the hill in front of her and started to count the past in detail.

"He has neither a name nor a surname, and has not even been registered in the Qiao clan. He left, so there is not even a safe place to bury. I can only find such a place to buried him. I'm sorry for him."

Seeing that she was so self condemned, Kerr immediately persuaded her, "Tina, don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. Look at here, it's very good. It's surrounded by green grass and trees. And the environment is better than anything else."

"Yeah, mom, I also think this place is good." Lily said, "Don't think too much about it. If you really can't let it go, we can come here more often in the future."

"When I gave birth to your brother and sister, Dillon didn't even take a look at them. Instead, he stayed with Lucia all the time. Even our servant told him that the boy was not saved, and he didn't come to see him." She didn't pay much attention to their words. She started to count what Dillon had done to her in detail.

"I was really stupid at that time. I kept a man's mind that did not belong to me. In the end, it was not only me who suffered, but also the children who suffered together with me. This is what I have experienced."

"I won't, Tina. I won't do that again." Seeing that she was completely lost in her memory, Kerr whispered in her ear, "Don't think about the unhappy things before, okay? I will be the one by your side from now on. I will spare no efforts to love you, take care of you, love Lily and look after her.

Hearing his words, Tina leaned against him and sobbed softly. Maybe it was because of his words or because she thought of something in the past.

At this moment, Lily didn't know what to say to comfort her mother. She could only stood quietly beside her with red eyes.

But Eric had kept silent all the time, with his hand holding Lily tightly.
