The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 396

“What?”

Ella sucked in a breath, her eyes going wide. “What do you mean, ‘you know’? Know what?”

Lilly looked a little embarrassed, fidgeting as she pressed her index fingers together. “You know... a kiss.”

Ella let out a sigh of relief. For a second, she had worried Lilly and Jace had already slept together.

“Lilly, are you serious about Jace?” Ella asked, a little teasing but also genuinely curious.

Jace’s cool, handsome face popped into Lilly’s head, and just thinking about him made her heart beat faster. She couldn’t control it. So this was what having a crush felt like.

Lilly nodded, blushing. “Yeah, I do.”

Ella looked like she wanted to say something, but she kept quiet. Love was something just between two people. Everyone else was just on the outside.

About half an hour later, they pulled up to the Lynch family home and walked inside together.

Ella still didn’t know who Lilly really was. Lilly had decided she’d find a good time to explain everything, so for now, she’d already called ahead to make sure no one gave away her secret.

“Miss... Lilly, Ms. Irvine, you’re here!” Ava greeted them at the door with a warm smile.

Ella and Lilly smiled back. At that moment, Mr. Lynch came down the stairs. “Ella, hello.”

Ella looked up at him, her eyes clear and direct. “Yeah. I heard you wanted to see me?”

Mr. Lynch nodded. “Let’s talk in my study.”

“Okay,” Ella replied.

Before they could leave, a deep, smooth voice called out, “Wait.”

Ella turned toward the door and saw David standing there.

David was here too.

Lilly blinked, surprised. “Mr. Harmon, what brings you here? Are you looking for Ella?”

David’s eyes were fixed on Ella. She hadn’t replied to his message, so of course he’d come find her himself.
