The banquet wasIÚT OVET yet, the hall was still full of chatter and drinks, but Lisa didn’t plan on returning. She was gonna sneak back to her room when someone called out, “Lisaf”
Lisa stopped in her tracks and turned around, only to see Neil walking toward her, bathed in moonlight.
Lisa, where did you go just now? Neil asked. ‘I couldn’t find you anywhere, and the servants said they didn’t see you either.”
“I was just walking around,” Lisa tilted her head, looking at him, “Is there something you need?”
Maggie was known for being a beauty when she was younger, Lisa had some of her looks, but was way more stunning. especially her eyes, sparkling in the moonlight, like they were filled with ernotions. Guys couldn’t resist soft, beautiful things, jand Neil zoned out for a moment.
He reached out, as if to touch Lisa’s check, but Lisa turned her head to avoid him and asked,
“I was looking at the bruise on your face, Neil coughed. “Why didn’t you treat it?”
I’m used to it.”
“What are yo
are you doing?”
Neil hesitated. “Lisa, don’t blame your
mother. She was just worried about you.”
Lisa smiled. “Worried about me? So, she just slapped me without asking any questions?”
“Well, that’s because-”
Lisa cut him off “We don’t have anything else to say.”
“Lisa” Neil grabbed her arm. “If you don’t want to stay with the Olsens, I can…”
“Can what?”
ou stuck in Neil’s throat, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t bring himself to say them. The words “I can marry you” stude Marrying Tiffany was for business, but marrying Lisa? With Lisa’s position in the Olsens, marrying her wouldn’t benefit him
And truthfully, it wasn’t like he had real feelings for Lisa–he was just drawn to her looks. But if Lisa could be his lover… Once that thought crossed his mind, Neil found himself unable to hold back.
If Lisa became his mistress, she would have everything, except the title, and living a comfortable life. It seemed better than staying with the Olsens, right?

“It’s nothing,” Neil said, releasing her and smiling. Co take care of the bruise on your face. I’ll check on you later.”
Lisa was puzzled but didn’t ask further. She simply turned and left.
When she opened the door to her room, she was startled to see someone sitting on her bed. Once she saw who it was, she frownrd “Mario

Lisa hid the bag belund her back. “No”

Lisa sat on the edge of the bed, her lips pressed together slightly. As Mario applied the medicine, he said. Tll talk to Mom and make sure she doesn’t touch your lace again.”
Lisa sneered inwardly
No wonder he came all the way here to treat her wounds–he was worried that if her face got ruined, she wouldn’t be worth much
“Have you had dinner! Mario asked again.
“No,” Lisa lied without blinking
Oscar, Mario raised his voice. “Bring it in
The butler quickly responded, bringing in a serving of spaghetti bolognese.
Mario nodded. “Kat
Lisa rubbed her slightly bulging belly–she really couldn’t eat anymore.
And compared to the steak and chicken soup from earlier, this spaghetti bolognese was too shabby.
But with Mario watching her, Lisa had no choice but to take it. She forced herself to eat a couple of bites, only to nearly gag from being so full.
“Are you blaming me?” Mario said coldly. “There were so many people there. You want me to embarrass Mom for you?”
Lisa had never expected anyone to stand up for her in that situation. She had already tasted this family’s coldness in her past. life, and if she still held onto hope in this one, how was that any different from being a fool?
“I’m not thinking that way,” Lisa said.
“Since you’re not, who are you pretending for?” Mario said coldly. “Is the food I gave you really making you sick?”
Lisa remained silent.
She couldn’t tell him it was because she had eaten too much earlier and just couldn’t eat this spaghetti bolognese now, could
Mario stood up, looking down at her. Then just stay hungry.”
Oscar took the spaghetti bolognese from Lisa’s hands, saying sarcastically. “Ms. Lisa, not that I’m criticizing, but you really don’t know how to appreciate things. Mr. Mario went through the trouble of having the kitchen make this for you, and you can’t even be grateful
