Yes, it was a solution. When did Ethan come to the point of sneaking around? Ethan was indeed her man; what was the big deal about telling her uncle? There was nothing hard to explain. He didn't understand what was happening in this woman's mind.
If Lily's uncle were smart enough, he would have noticed that without someone's backing, their magazine "EYL" would have been sued many times just by publishing scandals about big stars every day. How could they have grown so peacefully and increasingly?
"Boyfriend?" Lily suddenly laughed out loud as if she had heard a funny joke. Do you think my uncle would believe that the young master of the Blackwood family has taken a liking to me? Is he willing to marry me as his wife?"
"Lily, are you implying that I should marry you?"
Marrying her would make their relationship public. That would be a high price to pay.
