"Lily's entire focus is on the competition right now What does she need to see anyone for? Terence's tone was
serious, and his expression was unusually stern
Maryanne, who was used to being spoiled by Terence, rarely saw him with such a serious expression. "Terence,
are you in a bad mood?
Lily responded through the screen, "How is he in a bad mood? He just doesn't think I should be going on blind
dates right now.
"That is correct," Terence responded, then took Maryanne's phone to speak to Lily directly. "When are you
preparing to leave the country?
Maryanne stood on tiptoe, leaning in as if she had something to say. However, Termice had already taken the
phone and entered the living room, and Maryanne trotted after him. When Lily saw Terence, she thought about
the apartment at Bayview Gardens. She paused for a moment before answering
"I haven't thought about it. It shouldn't be too late to go before the competition."

Lily had participated in many design competitions during college, but in the real professional world, those were
just child's play.
She couldn't even think about having jumped from domestic competitions to the international stage. The more
she thought about it, the more anxious she got. "gor it," Lily said.
On the screm, she frowned slightly. Terence's tone softened somewhat, "Don't worry too much. When the time
comes, I'—"
He stopped before he finished his sentence and then said, "Things will fall into place when the tcomes."
"It means jest go for it!" Maryanne leaned in, raised her fist, and shouted, "Even if you don't win the
championship, it's okay. Terence will back you up
"He's well-connected in the design world, and he'll definitely help you find a way to make it. You'll never go
hungry!
"But don't you bring back a foreigner, my Anglon isn't good. If you two argued, can't yell at him because he
wouldn't understand, and I'd be so angry!"
Maryanne kept talking, and as Lily listened on, she couldn't help but smile increasingly widely in amusement,
"Stop talking nonsense," Terence said, his expression darkening again. He spoke to Lily, saying, "It's working
hours now. You're busy, so we'll talk later." Lily nodded and said, "Okay"
After the call ended, Terence handed the phone hack to Maryanne. Finally, he went upstairs to the stady to get
sdocuments.

bright one!"
"We can only hope," Marika said Though she felt sorry for Lily, she decided to stop hissing aimlessly since Lily
had no intention of looking for a new partner.

Instead, Marika changed how she expressed her concem. "I haven't seen Lily in a long time. When you have
time, bring her over for a meal at our place. You need to help her out more."
"Mom! You're so nice to her, you won't love her more than me, right?
Maryanne was moved as she hugged Marika's arm. She rested her head on Marika's shoulder and said, "That
won't do. If you're going to love her, you have to loveequally too!
Marika poked Maryanner's head lovingly. "If you still won't behave, I'll shower my love only instead of you! You're
both my daughters, but she'll be more attentive than you" Maryanne hugged her even tighter. "That won't do! I'll
be more attentive than she is. I'm the down jacket, warmer and more reliable, while Lily, at best, is a coton-
padded jacket, she's not as warm! So, loveinstead!"
