Chapter 356 - She’s dating someone

"Well, except me." Lance thought, why is she close to everyone except him? He brought her home when she got drank. He knew her family. Her sister-in-law is his best friend. He let her sleep on her shoulder overnight and accompanied her in the viewing bench Shouldn't they be friends now? Lance seemed to have realized it just now.

"Wait. What's with that expression of yours? Are you jealous?" Mr. Ray with a teasing smile as he waves a hand in front of his face saying how he looked.

Lance was startled. "What? What are you talking about?" He didn't realize it until Mr. Ray pointed it out. "Of course, I am not." But Lance denied it.

"Is that so?" Mr. Ray says while looking at him indifferently and it irks Lance. "I thought you look and sound like a jealous man." Mr. Ray said and diverted his look at Lily and Seth's direction.

"Well, if there is someone to be jealous about is, it is not Seth." Mr. Ray paused as he takes another gulp of water from his bottle before recapping it. "It is the person that Lily is dating."

Lance felt his heart tightened. If he is not jealous then why does he felt like that after hearing that Lily is dating someone? He felt like he wanted to crush someone. "She's dating someone?" He tried his best to ask Mr. Ray casually without stuttering.

Mr. Ray nodded his head. "Well, that's what I heard. I heard that she is dating the son of her family's friend." Mr. Ray shrugged his shoulder as he watches Lance's reaction at the corner of his eyes. "I am not sure. Lily is a very private person. She never talks about it and never even talks about her family."

Lance felt like there was some kind of explosion. He gripped the armrest of the chair tightly. He wanted to know if she really is dating someone but he cannot just walk over to her and ask her. He would look desperate and stupid. If there is anyone who knows if Lily really is dating that son of a family friend, it would be her family. And if there is anyone here who knows about her family, it was him.

After realizing it, he excused himself and walk towards a secluded area far from the crew. He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a certain number.

"Yes?" J said nonchalantly after answering the call from Lance.

"Is it true that Lily is dating the son of a family friend?" Lance asked directly that made J surprise.

"Yes," J replied shortly.

Lance was frozen in place. Can't his best friend be more considerate and sensible? Lance composed himself then asked again. "Since when?"

"About a month now." although curious, J can't hide her irritation.

A month now? Where was he? What was he doing that he didn't notice that? Lance thought to himself. Well all this time, Lily has been avoiding him so of course, he wouldn't notice. Lance dropped the call. This time, he is in a black mood so without telling anyone, he left the set and drive out of Mt. Celandine. No one noticed that he left except for Lily.
