Chapter 467 - Christmas Eve with Lance

In just a couple of minutes, Leo arrived but he is not alone because he brought Timothy along with him.

"Hey, there little buddy!" Lance instantly greets the little boy.

Timothy smiled back at him. "Merry Christmas Uncle Lance!"

"And Merry Christmas to you too," Lance replied. The looked at Leo who is impassive as ever. "Leo."

Leo just nodded his head then he turned to look at Diana. Lance was amazed when he saw fondness in Leo's eyes. Leo was such an impassive person, only Diana could pull out some emotions from this man. Lance thought internally.

"Thanks, Lance." Diana waved her hand to Lance before she gets into the car.

Lance was left in the entrance of the hotel. He was just waiting for his car which was on the valet parking.

After a while, he is now driving towards Lily's apartment. Usually, he would spend Christmas Eve at Rendesvouz then his Christmas Day will be spent with his family. But this year, it is different. He made a promise to Lily that they will be spending Christmas Eve together. This is going to be the first time that Lance is going to spend Christmas Eve with his girlfriend and he has no problem with that. In fact, he was excited.

Inside Lily's apartment.

"Aren't you coming home tonight?" Madam Kelly is still persuading Lily to come home for the Christmas Eve but Lily is adamant that she will be spending Christmas Eve with Lance.

"Mom, I told you I am going to celebrate Christmas Eve with Lance. I'll be coming with you tomorrow for Christmas. Okay?"

"Oh God! Just because you know that I am highly in favor of Lance, you can just do whatever you want Lilybeth! It is understandable that your brother and sister would celebrate Christmas Eve on their own because they already have a family of their own. And you, Lilybeth! You aren't married yet! Are you just gonna let me and you father spend Christmas Eve alone?"

Urgh...there goes her mom's chant. Lily rolled her eyes as she leaned back on the sofa scratching the space between her brows.

Every year, Lily will only be the one spending Christmas Eve with her parents since Leticia is already married and prefer to spend it with her family at their own home and Jacob has been abroad. She wanted to spend it with them because she knows how lonely it will be with just the two of them but she also wanted to spend it with Lance because it is going to be their first Christmas Eve together and she wants it to be special.

That was the scene when Lance entered Lily's apartment. Since the two of them got together, Lily gave him a spare keycard of her apartment but he rarely used it. He just keeps it for emergency purposes.

Lily didn't hear the door clicked open because all this time, her phone is on her ear and her mom's voice is ringing.

She was startled to see Lance standing in front of her with an inquiring look.

Lily quickly understands that look and opened her mouth to say the word 'mom' without a sound while pointing at her phone.

Lance nodded his head and walked over the sofa to sit beside her while taking off his tux leaving only his dress shirt. Lily watched as Lance unbuttoned few top buttons of his dress shirt and she seemed to have not heard of her mom's nagging on the phone.

Lance's body is not as buff as Jacob or Arthur's team but he is fit with muscles on the right place. In fact, his body and looks could pass as a model. And Lily finds him sexy. She was biting her lips when she noticed that Lance is looking at her with a raised brow.

She blinked and averted her gaze. She talked to her mom for a couple of more minutes before she finally persuaded her mom to hang up.
