lt;pgt;
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Lily's smile widened when she noticed he was looking at her.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Nick was a little surprised when Lily smiled at him.He stared at her for a while as his tense little face
relaxed, and a glimmer of a smile appeared.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;The smile appeared to vanish in an instant because it was so brief.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Lily did not rush to speak but instead offered him her hand.Her fingers curled slightly, and the palm
face-up as if to extend an invitation.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Looking at the hand full of kindness, he hesitated for a while, then carefully placed his little hand into
her palm.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Lily immediately held his hand and smiled even brighter at him.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Then, she got a surprise.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Nick's arms flew open, and he rushed to her, hugging her tightly.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Lily was taken aback as she only wanted to soothe him.She did not expect him to be so vulnerable with
her.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Holding him gently while stroking his back with one hand to comfort him, she could feel that he was in
distress.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Mike watched the scene silently as his eyes brightened up.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Eventually, Nick's trembling body gradually calmed down, and the arms holding her were no longer so
tight.lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;Lily tried to stand up while carrying him but her legs were shaky from having sat for too long.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;After giving her a hand and taking the child from her arms, Mike said, "Thank you!"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;With a slight smile, Lily shook the child's tiny hand and said kindly, "Anyway, don’t argue in front of the
kid.It will have a great psychological impact on him."
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Yeah,"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмMike nodded, but he felt it was a shame, "Nick likes you very much.If you’re not
in a rush to leave, I was hoping you could stay with him for a couple more days."
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Yeah, Lily, do you have to go back? Think about the great opportunities if you stay! My dad's team is
excellent.You’ll definitely have a good career path!"' Lisa quickly persuaded.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Mike also agreed with what Lisa said and replied, "The prospects for developing here are indeed
excellent.Since you’re so talented in the perfumery business, don't you want to seek a better future?
Besides, if you encounter any difficulties here, I can help you too."
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"No,"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Lily shook her head, insisting, "I still prefer to develop in the local industry.No matter where I am, I'll
create my own future! "
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;There seemed to be little chance of persuading her, but Nick was reluctant to let her leave.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Miss Lily," he said in a low voice, with no additional words and a look of apprehension in his eyes.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"If there’s a chance in the future, ask your father to let you visit me.I’ll bring you out to eat!"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Lily said warmly as she tapped his little face.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Nick turned his head to look at his father as if waiting for his answer, and Mike nodded, "Definitely!"lt;/pgt;
