Accidenttal One Night Stand with My Aloof Uncle-Chapter 70: So Low, I Scare Myself!

Lily Grant: "Oh, please! If I had told you back then that I secretly contacted Lucas Morgan, you would have skinned me alive! Don’t make yourself out to be so noble, okay?"

"No way, I’m so noble it’s almost making me cry."

Chloe Grant retorted unceremoniously and continued, "Calling me so late isn’t just to boast about how close you and Lucas are, is it? I bet your stern dad, my dear uncle, gave you a lecture again, didn’t he?"

"You...!"

Chloe’s words left Lily speechless on the other end.

As expected.

"Poor thing, uncle has a bad temper. You didn’t get hit, did you? Oh, my dad, even if he scolds me, he can’t really do anything to me over the phone, right?"

Chloe admitted that while she said these things, she surprised even herself with her brazenness!

"Don’t be so smug!" Lily gritted her teeth.

Chloe laughed, wanting nothing more than Lily’s discomfort!

Only Lily is allowed to play innocent and outsmart everyone, does she think I can’t?

"I’m not smug, I just feel sorry for you. Always running to other people’s dads to complain, saying you’re so wronged, but the one who always gets scolded is you."

Speaking of which, Chloe and Lily’s fathers shared the same behavior—

If their child got into a fight with another family’s child, they would always scold their own kid first.

Chloe lived at Lily’s house before she turned ten; after all, the two girls grew up together, and though they got along well, they’d have the occasional squabble.

Whenever Mr. Grant saw them fighting, he’d be the first to grab Lily and scold her, making her apologize to Chloe.

Then Chloe’s father would call and scold Chloe for being so troublesome.

This confusing logic was why Lily’s mother disliked Chloe so much.

Chloe’s mother was also very cold towards Lily.

"Chloe, stop being so smug. Think about how many times your parents have called you in the past year or two! They didn’t even bring you abroad last Mid-Autumn Festival. They probably have a new child abroad and don’t want you anymore. What are you gloating over?!"

Once Lily finished, she immediately hung up, giving Chloe no chance to respond.

Chloe tossed the phone aside, rolling her eyes, "Does she take me for a fool?"

Even if they did have a new child, the family would have known.

Besides...

The one feeling uncomfortable now is probably Lily, and the one who’s going to have trouble sleeping tonight is definitely Lily.

Chloe was spot on with her guess.

After hanging up on Chloe, Lily lay in bed, tossing and turning.

She kept thinking about Chloe’s words. If she had told her she was with Lucas back then, she probably would have met the Morgan family by now.

Grandpa Morgan wouldn’t be so bad to her...

The Lily she knew was indeed a bit foolish, easy to fool and easy to coax.

Although Lily managed to step over Chloe to get close to Lucas back then.

But if she had acted a little pitiful, apologized to Chloe, pretended to show some remorse. Even if Chloe was angry, after some time, she’d get over it.

Later on, maybe, as Lily said, she would have taken Lily to meet the Morgans’ elders, said good things about her at the Morgan family... Wouldn’t it be easier for Lily to get into the Morgan family?

At that time, Chloe was still foolishly treating her as a sister, and Lily could naturally work from within to drive a wedge between Chloe and the Morgans.

By then... everything would have been more perfect.

Lily was now trapped in the scenario Chloe had crafted, the more she thought, the more she realized her misstep, the more she thought, the more she couldn’t sleep...

She couldn’t sleep, and over at Chloe’s side, the situation was a bit...
