My Toyboy 63
Filip’s expression finally softened when Lilian mentioned their horn baby. His eyes fell on Lilian’s slightly bulging belly. “You fell twice today. Are you okay?
Lilian was still lying on the ground, covering her belly with one hand. “Filip, toy stomach hurts a little.”
Filip hurriedly helped her up. Then, Lilian got on the passenger seat of the car.
Filip
ll looked grim–he seemed to be suppressing his emotions. “For so many years, Lilian, I’ve always felt that I know you very well. But today, I realized that you’re unfamiliar to me, Did you pretend to be docile, kind, and innocent in front of me? You make me feel like I don’t know you at all.
Lilian lowered her head and burst into tears. Anyone who saw her pitiful look would be distressed. Filip took out a tissue and handed it over.
Lilian took the tissue, glanced at Filip gingerly, and then quickly lowered her head. She held the tissue and said in a hoarse voice, “Filip, I grew
up in Misty Alley. If I were docile, kind, and innocent, I would have died hundreds of times.
Filip’s eyes flickered when he heard her words.
The name “Misty Alley” sounded nice. But it was actually a slum in very edge of Roncrity, where every day was full of violence, bloodshed, and all sorts of shady and dirty business.
Filip knew about Lilian’s past, but he never asked about it in detail.
While crying, Lilian said, “My mother’s crazy and my father’s disabled. For as long as I can remember, my mother has tortured me and my father in various ways. I don’t have my own room. My clothes, shoes, and even school bags were picked
from the garbage dump since I was young
up
She sniffed. “I felt nothing in this world belonged to me, and I didn’t deserve any beautiful things.”
The despair in her voice painted the miserable situation she was in. Anyone who heard it would be heartbroken.
She went on. “When I was 14, I saved up by collecting scraps for half a year. Then I secretly went to a clothing store and bought a dress. The white dress had white lace on its neckline and sleeves. I liked it so much, I hid it under my bed. I secretly took it out and wore it when my parents weren’t home.
She continued, “One time, my mom came back early and happened to see me wearing my brand– new white dress. She insisted that I stole the money to buy it. I will always remember that day…
Lilian lowered her head and burst into tears. Her shoulders trembled violently. “She forcefully took away my dress, cut it into rags in front of me, then set it on fire. Then she scolded and humiliated me.”
Lilian recalled, “It happened in the afternoon. Many people came to watch when they heard the commotion. I was 14
She paused. “Onlookers gathered around and watched me like I was a monkey in a zoo. They didn’t stop my mom. They just watched the drama unfold and judged me with those disgusting
eyes. They laughed and clapped their hands, encouraging my mother to belittle me. I almost couldn’t stand the shame.”
Filip’s heart ached when he heard Lilian’s story. He knew that Lan had a terrible family, and Sarah always treated her badly. But he didn’t expect her to have experienced such cruelty in her life.
Unconsciously, Filip thought of Cynthia, What was Cynthia doing when she was 14 years old?”
Filip remembered, at the age of 14, she spoke at the Amalgamated Nations as a student representative of Clusia. Her fluent Enmerian accent throughout the entire speech earned the applause of representatives from all over the world.
At the age of 14, she performed the lead role in a tutu on the stage of Pillere Opera House and was recruited by Enmeria Royal Ballet on the spot. But she turned down their invitation because she disliked Emmerian cuisine.
At the age of 14, she wore countless beautiful dresses and expensive jewelry. Everyone loved her and treated her like at princess.
Lilian’s and Cynthia’s lives were as different as chalk and cheese One lived without worries, and another struggled to cope in her everyday life. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Filip was overcome with sympathy and anguish, and his expression completely softened. He turned around and took Lilian in his arms. His tone was filled with distress. “Lilian, it’s all in the past. Your future will not be worse than Cynthia’s”
“Lilian leaned on Filip’s shoulder and said pitifully, “Filip, I know I don’t deserve you. Just like that white dress–I’ll need to pay a huge price if I want to get close to you and make you mine,
She then added, “But, you’re the best thing in my life–a ray of light in my dark life. No matter the price, I won’t allow others to take you away.
She went on. “I know you and Cynthia are childhood sweethearts. I know you’re not over your relationship of so many years. I was too afraid that you’d rekindle your old flame, so I made an impulsive mistake.”
Lilian straightened up and tearfully looked into Filip’s eyes. “Filip. I love you. No one in the world loves you more than I do.”
Filip looked at Lilian’s sincere gaze, then held her tightly in his arms.
He loved Lilian because only she would worship him like a god. That kind of admiration, the fervent love, and the way she tiptoed around him made him feel like he was the most outstanding person in the world.
However, in front of Cynthia, he could only be inferior to her and even needed to flatter her.
Lilian saw that Filip had lost his temper–the only emotion left in his eyes was distress. She thought it was the perfect time.
She leaned against Filip’s chest. Her voice was as soft as a newborn kitten’s. She looked at his face carefully and said, “Filip, you divorce Cynthia? Let’s live a good life together, okay? I don’t care whether others call me a mistress or Mrs. Yates. 1 only care that you still love me.”
She continued, “As long as you and Cynthia are married, I’ll always be afraid and panic–stricken. I fear that you two will patch things up. When that happens, you two will remain a couple, but what should I and our baby do?”
Filip’s eyes darkened at the mention of Cynthia’s name. That name was like a burden crushing him, making him feel uncomfortable with every heartbeat.
His marriage to Cynthia wasn’t registered. But in Filip’s heart, Cynthia was his wife and belonged to him. That was why he didn’t want to tell Lilian that he and Cynthia were not officially married.
That certificate didn’t mean anything, but he always identified himself and Cynthia as husband and wife. Therefore, he couldn’t marry Lilian.
When he thought of Cynthia being romantically involved with Jonathan, Filip felt his heart weigh down with emotions–so heavy that he could not breathe.
