Chapter 24 Conrad (1)
"Conrad," Lillee called in a voice filled with happiness. She quickly and happily jumped on Conrad
immediately as he entered the mansion.
Conrad tapped her soft cheeks playfully and kissed her forehead, "Did you miss me?" He asked her
which she nodded her head to repeatedly.
"I do. I do." Lillee said with a shy, beautiful laugh which made him kiss her lips again and again.
"Stop being this way in front of my parents, be modest." Lillee chided with an innocent face and soft,
shy expression that tickled his heart repeatedly.
"They know we're engaged. And it's normal." Conrad whispered and kissed her lips once more.
"You're so naughty, Conrad." Lillee pouted with a red face.
"I can show you more naughty on our wedding night." He said and bit her lips gently which made her hit
his chest playfully.
"Sigh. All this younger generation doesn't put the elders into their eyes anymore," Mr William said with
fake anger.
Mrs. William came out of the kitchen carrying a dish filled with a meal, the maids walking behind
carrying a dish filled with different things, "Honey let the children be. You were also like this at their age,
even worse." Mrs. William uttered which made Lillee and Conrad smile.
Lillee immediately got down from Conrad's hold. "Mom, let me help you."
"What do you mean to help me?" Mrs. William chided Lillee in fake anger. "We have the maids for that.
You're an actress, your hand and skin must be extra smooth and well-taken care of." She said.
"Mom." Lillee stomped her feet unhappily. "Can't I help my mom anymore?" Lillee asked with an
innocent pout.
"No." Mrs. William replied with a smile. She turned to Conrad, who was looking at Lillee with love in his
eyes.
"Conrad, you must make sure Lillee doesn't go through any sort of hardship once you're together.
She's my precious baby and we never let her go through any sort of pain at home." Mrs. William said in
a strict motherly voice.
"Yes, Mrs. William." Conrad nodded immediately.
"You, this child, call me Mom already. Honey, come over and sit." Mrs. William said to Mr. William.
"But I don't see you protecting Lillee like you promised." Mrs. William suddenly said.
"Mom, Conrad is busy at the office, he wasn't on social media these days." Lillee quickly spoke up for
him but if one should listen to her word carefully, Lillee was complaining that he doesn't have time for C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
her due to his job.
"But still, working in the office shouldn't give you a reason not to be around for your lady, honey am I
right?" Mrs. William turned to Mr. William, who nodded in agreement.
"Yes, you are."
"What is going on?" Conrad asked in confusion. He turned to Lilllee who bowed her head to hide her
expression.
"Lillee was bullied by White Tigress all these days." Mrs. William explained unhappily.
Conrad turned to Lillee in shock, "Lillee, why didn't you tell me?" Immediately Conrad got off the plane,
he had returned to his father's company. Apart from Conrad's identity as a famous actor, he's also the
CEO of the Norton company, so he was most often busy.
Lillee pouted her lips, "I called your number, but you didn't pick it, so I decided not to disturb you." She
explained.
Conrad grabbed her hand in unhappiness, "How can you be a disturbance? My phone has been with
my manager all along." He explained.
The manager that Conrad mentioned made Mrs. William remember Manager Frankie, "Talking about a
manager? Why did you give our gentle Lillee someone like Manager Frankie? She only makes Lilllee
cry every time." Mrs. William muttered with a sigh.
Lillee was happy by her mom's words, but she tried to feign anger, "Mom why are you saying this?
Won't it make it feel as if I'm being a crybaby due to manager Frankie's words?" Lillee said, stylishly
adding more dirt to.
"Mom is right. Manager Frankie is your manager; she shouldn't disrespect you. I'll talk to her. And what
is with you and white Tigress?" Conrad asked.
"White Tigress switched the media's opinion…" Mrs. William began to narrate everything which made
Conrad frown.
"We don't have a feud with White Tigress if I remember correctly. The company plans to invest in
taming her, and I also planned to act in the movie." Conrad explained which made Lillee and Mrs.
William's eyes light up.
"Oh, that's nice." Mrs. William clapped happily. "Lilllee had been practicing all these days, and she also
planned to audition for a role in taming her. You golden couple will finally have a movie together." Mrs.
William uttered happily.
"Mom," Lillee called out shyly with a blushing face.
"This daughter of ours is too gentle. Thankfully Conrad is good to you." Mr William said.
"I don't let anyone bully me." Lillee stomped her foot in protest which made the remaining three nod
their head in agreement. "You're right."
Lillee pouted at them.
"Don't worry, I will make white Tigress pay for every grievance after we sign the contract," Conrad said
to Lillee who looked at him immediately.
Even though Lily was happy inwardly, she still tried to portray a good and gentle demeanor. "Won't it
feel like we are bullying White Tigress?" She replied, which made Conrad kiss her hand.
"No." He said and they all began to eat.
After the meal, they all sat in front of the TV watching Lillee's latest movie. The silence was suddenly
broken by a serious Conrad.
"Mom. Dad. I came here today all because of Lillee and my wedding. I planned for us to wed soon,
before this year ends. After all, the scandal with that vix… Tinsley had died down." He said.
The facial expression of everyone in the sitting room changes upon hearing Tinsley's name.
Lillee immediately turned to her parents, "Talking about Tinsley. Mum, Dad, have you found Tinsley
yet? I kept trying to find Tinsley with my connection and I kept calling her number, but she never picked
up for once." Lillee cried out with a fake sad sob. "I wonder if Tinsley is doing fine. Ever since that
incident, she had disappeared. What if she's dead? What if she's dead, mum?" Lille broke down and
began to cry sadly.
Mrs. William pulled Lily and looked at Conrad unhappily. "Why did you have to mention that vixen's
name? Ever since that incident involving Tinsley. Lilllee has been unable to sleep. She's always
blaming herself and thinking about Tinsley and she is mostly waking up due to a nightmare." She
explained which made Lillee grab Mrs. William's hand.
"Mom, it's not Conrad's fault. It's all mine. If I didn't mention all that in the phone call that day, none of
this would have happened to Tinsley. Tinsley will never leave us. Tinsley will still be here with us, and
we would have been a happy family." Lillee cried out while clutching her chest tearfully.
