Chapter 269
From afar, Xavier saw Lily approaching. His deep, unwavering gaze focused on her graceful figure as she walked
toward the manor.
The whole Fulton Manor radiated joy except for Lily and Xavier.
As soon as Lily entered, Emma approached her with a large smile. Emma said, "Mrs. Fulton, cin quickly! I've
prepared sherbal tea. The beginning of pregnancy can be exhausting, but it'll help you feel better!" "There's
no need," Lily said softly. She couldn't bring herself to meet Emma's eyes.
She walked into the living room, unable to look at Edith-orrather, the Fulton family.
"Lily, you're here!" Edith stood to greet her. "Come, have a seat. Why do you look so unhappy? Are you still mad
at Xavier? I've already scolded that little brat for

Several pairs of eyes fell on Lily as Edith pulled her to sit on the couch. After a moment of contemplation, Lily

"Edith, Shane, Tamara, I'm not pregnant. I'm sorry. My mother misunderstood, Lily explained.
The joyful atmosphere of the living room tumed dead silent in an instant.
Xavier leaned against the wall by the floor-to-ceiling window. He narrowed his eyes at Lily, unable to guess what
she was trying to do.
The smiles on Shane and Tamara's faces froze. They turned to Xavier in unison, then exchanged suspicious
glances with Edith. Lily realized Xavier hadn't told them she wasn't pregnant when she saw their reactions.
In Xavier's eyes, Lily and Hazel were the same. Their statements were inconsistent, and he couldn't tell the truth
from the lie. So, he could only wait for her to explain.
At this moment, the medical report was the most solid piece of evidence.
"Was the pregnancy a joke?" Tamara's expression darkened first. "Lily, what's going on with your family?"
In the end, Lily had to pay for all of Hazel's mistakes. The words "your family" made Lily's face redden with
shame, too embarrassed to face anyone.
"Don't jump to conclusions yet. Didn't Lily say Hazel misunderstood? Edith said.
y was not the sas Hazel in terms of temperament and was not cut from the scloth.
She had known Lily for two years and understood her very well. Lily v
Tamara was only upset mainly because her joy had been for nothing.
Shane gently calmed her down, then sat on the couch and turned to Lily and Xavier. "Lily, Xavier, can you clear
this up? First, it was a divorce, then it was a mistaken pregnancy. What is going on?"
"Ask her," Xavier said. He crossed his arms and behaved like he was an outsider.
Lily took a deep breath and spoke in one go, "Two months ago, | asked Xavier for a divorce. Hazel didn't agree
and found out | had been on birth control pills for the past two years.
"She secretly switched my pills and thought | was pregnant. But I'm not,"
She recounted everything from the past two months to them as calmly and as concisely as possible, Only Lily
knew what she had to endure in the past two months. Edith's eyes widened as she glared at Xavier. "Birth
control pills? Was this your idea?" "yes," Xavier said and didn't avoid taking responsibility. "Grandma, the
company's not stable right now. I just want to focus on work for

now."
To Edith, this reason was no different to Xavier saying that he hadn't fooled around enough. In her mind, there
was nothing more important than carrying on the family line, and his excuse was utter nonsense, Edith was so
furious her head buzzed.
Shane immediately hurried over to Edit. He rubbed her back to soothe her. "Mom, calm down. Lethandle
this."
He turned to Xavier and hesitated for a moment before he looked at Lily. He asked, "Lily, what's the reason for
your divorce?"
"Because he cheated," Lily said. Her words were like a thunderclap out of nowhere.
Xavier was so shocked that his expression darkened instantly. "Lily, what nonsense are you tallding about?"
Lily hesitated briefly before taking her phone out of her bag. She pulled up all the photos and videos of Xavier's
Infidelity that she had received over the past two months.
She said, "On his birthday, | received a video of him and Sarah checking buto a hotel out of town. The rest of the
photos were sent toanonymously over time."
