"Why are you calling me?" Lily McKenzie sobbed.
"Why can't I call you?" Tarik Soufiane felt a twinge in his heart, "Is it because of my relationship with my sister?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the crying on the other end of the line grow louder. He hurriedly tried to comfort her, "I shouldn't have hidden it from you. I was surprised too when I first found out, but what does it matter? You and Henry Russell have long broken up, and my sister and brother-in-law seem to be getting along just fine. We, on the other hand..."
Tarik's words suddenly stopped, not knowing what to say next.
Upon hearing his words, Lily's eyes darkened. They might be getting along, but what she wanted was for them not to be getting along.
Her tears stopped, and she said angrily, "You lied to me!"
"I didn't know at first either, and I only found out later. It's true that I was wrong to hide it from you. I'm sorry." Tarik said guiltily.
