Chapter 468 - TRUE TO HIS WORDS: PART II

It was already sundown when the girl woke up from her sleep. She didn't even bother with lunch and slept through the whole day. She got out of her bed and stepped out of the balcony and there she noticed something strange about the sliding door. 

There was a faint note written on the glass since it was small as well it was really hard to tell. 

Miss Knigthley, I hope you'll find your true happiness some day. Take care, Cris.

"J*rk."

That night during Cris' stay in the girl's room. He pondered hard on how to tell the girl he was leaving. He noticed the girl's makeup kit on the table and started writing the note using her eye liner. 

"I bet she'll be pissed off at me for using this." Cris giggled away as he continued to write his note. "Let's see if you'll notice this. If not, then…" He didn't bother about the consequences. What's important was that he kept his word. 

At the very bottom of the note, there was another note which was highlighted in red. Elizabeth's eyes pop in shock as she grabs her makeup kit and realizes what the man used. 

"He really does not know the value of makeup." 

Miss Knightley, I'll come back for my payment someday. Instead of money, I hope you can do me a favor. 

Since the note was written in Chinese, it didn't take a lot of space which made it hard to notice. Plus, her curtain was covering it as well. 

Elizabeth was smiling in glee despite how she felt annoyed that the man tampered with her makeup. She grabbed another bag and took out a make-up remover and cotton, she started wiping off the note with a continuous smile on her face. 

"I guess, it's time for me to head home as well." 

That evening, everyone started packing up all of the sudden and were all confused. They thought they'll be staying for another day, but then the girl came down all of the sudden and shouted they were heading home. 

"Long, do you think something happened with the young miss?" 

Long looked only at Chou for he too does not know what's going on. But, seeing how happy the young miss was when she announced they were heading home. It made him think everything was fine. 

"Let's just pack up."

Imperial Garden Plaza.

The Zhao residents were all surprised by the call they just received. Lady Zhao, who was attending a party returned all of the sudden after his brother called him that the girl was coming home.

"Do you think something happened to Lili?" Liu Yifie asked as she anxiously walked back and forth.

"Dear child, sit down, it's not good for your body." Elder Chief Zhao said calmly to his daughter-in-law whom he cares so much for after she has blessed them with a boy who will continue their Zhao family name. 

"Yifie, calm down. I'm sure she's just bored and wishes to come home." 

"Hmm, maybe you're right, but I still can't help but worry that something happened." 

Lady Zhao stood by the window and continued to keep to herself. She has been worried since the day the girl left and has been anxious of her dreams. Yes, she is a worried mother, but sometimes their instincts are right. 

They were all gathered in the seating room near the driveway so they'll be able to see if the girl has arrived. 

Mr. Yan came knocking on the door and informed them. "The guards at the front gate have informed us that the young miss has arrived." 

Everyone moved out of the room and headed out of the house to wait for the girl. Despite it still a few minutes away, they all couldn't wait any longer and decided to wait outside for her. 

After a few minutes, three cars soon drive up the driveway as one stops in front of the main door. 

Zhao Xinyi was the one to open the girl's door to see her looking as usual. The only thing that changed was the fact she was a bit tan. "Burnt yourself?"

"Ha-ha, I'm home brother. I kind of did." 

Everyone was shocked by her sudden tone of speaking and the way she smiled. As if she was the old daughter, sister, niece and granddaughter whom they all know. 

"Lili, what happened?" 

"Nothing much, I guess, going on a trip all alone is kind of boring. I realize I've never gone on a trip alone. I have been always with everyone or Jackie." 

That's right. This was the girl's every first trip alone. So they understood why she would suddenly return home. 

"Did anything interesting happen?" General Zhao asked as he went over to escort the girl in. 

"Nothing much uncle, I did find out there are quite a lot of good and fresh fish." 

"Ha-ha, did you go fishing?"

"Kind of." 

Long and Chou knew the girl was not telling the truth. But they all agreed to keep everything to themselves as well in order to help the girl find her happiness. 

Before Cris left that morning, he went to Long and Chou to bid them farewell. He spoke to them so seriously and at the point they felt like they were being threatened. 

"Let me tell you this. You guys never met me and everything the girl said is true. You all better keep your mouth shut or else I'll come back for you. At least, let her enjoy the freedom she has now. I know you all know already that the chances of her finding the person she is looking for is impossible. She knows nothing of where the man could be, nor his name. That alone is enough proof that she won't find him. So, at least, help her be herself. I know, you all care for her." 

That way, when the girl woke up that morning and left without words to the man's house. They didn't inform him that he already left. They didn't want to hurt their young miss, but since she was able to smile when they went home. They realize that the man must have left her a note.
