Chapter 244


There was a silence in the air.


Ebony was standing outside the door.


Lloyd stood inside the door.


They looked at each other.


At each other......


Well, in fact, Ebony wasn't looking at Lloyd's eyes at all.


She was looking at Lloyd's body.


The man's light laughter suddenly came from above.


Only then did Ebony realize what she was doing. She raised her head, handed over the tray in her hand, and said, "Your dinner."


Ebony didn't make a sound as she moved her gaze down again to his lower abdomen.


Lloyd asked, "What are you looking at?"


Ebony blinked her eyes.


She pointed to the middle of his abdomen and said, "Has there always been a knife wound here?"


The man didn't expect she would ask him about his wound.


He lowered his eyes to look at his abdomen.


There was indeed a light red scar in the middle of a certain abdominal muscle.


Lloyd frowned.


A moment later, he said, "Yes."


Ebony stared at Lloyd's face for a moment. After a moment of silence, she said, "Liar."


Lloyd did not make a sound.


Ebony said, "I know your body better than you as I've done so many love scenes with you. Even where the scars and moles are."


Ebony said and stared at the scar. She asked, "Is it hurt by Max?"


Lloyd still did not make a sound.


She said, "Don't tell me anything, forget it, I don't want to know either!"


After saying that, she turned around to leave.


But at this moment, suddenly, her wrist was held.


With a snap of the door, there was no longer Ebony's figure in the corridor.


The servant, who had been hiding at the corner of the stairs and peeping, snapped her thighs and excitedly took out her cell phone to report to the Madam in England.


"Madam! It's me! The young master has pulled Miss Gibson into the room! He's not wearing any clothes!"


"Yes, they're going to make it! You're going to have a grandchild!"


In the room, Ebony stood by Lloyd's bed, her eyes darting around.


Lloyd seemed to work here as the desk was piled up with documents.


The decoration of the room was very simple, with most of the black and white arrangement.


Ebony looked down and saw the black carpet under her feet.


Alas, she also wanted a black carpet, not a pink one.


The closet door opened.


Ebony raised her head to see that Lloyd had taken a bathrobe out of the closet.


He put the clothes on but did not bother to tie the middle strap.


Thus, there was no difference though he wore a cloth.


Ebony frowned and immediately said unhappily, "Put your clothes on! Or you'll catch a cold again!"


The man looked back at her, gathered the two sides of the clothes inward, and tied a knot with the belt.


Ebony was satisfied with this.


The man turned around and said to Ebony, "Have a sit."


There was no other place to sit in this room.


In the end, she decided to sit on his bed.


He asked, "What do you want to know?"


Ebony blinked her eyes and pointed at his abdomen, " I want to know how and when you got this injury?"


Lloyd said lightly, "When I arrested the leader of the Bloody Group."


Ebony now understood though it wasn't hurt by Max, it was indeed because of him.


Ebony was thinking.


At this time, Lloyd asked again, "What else do you want to know?"


Ebony shook her head and said, "No more."


However, Lloyd looked her seriously in the eyes, "Really? You say I'm not telling you anything, doesn't that have two meanings?"


Ebony was stunned, "Ah?"


At this time, Lloyd exhaled, rubbing his brow and saying, "There is a question that you have actually wanted to ask for a long time, isn't it?"


Ebony immediately realized what he was going to say, she popped up to run.


However, her back collar was grabbed by Lloyd in the next second.


"Eeeeh!" Ebony fluttered but failed to get free. She looked back at Lloyd.


Lloyd pressed her to sit down and said, "You have made the first step and called him brother. So what are you afraid of?"


Ebony gritted her teeth and said, "I regretted doing so as I don't even know if it was right."


Lloyd looked at her face and said in a slow voice, "It's right as you think."


Ebony paused for a moment as she stared at Lloyd for a long time.


Finally, she scratched her head and said irritably, "I should have not gossiped about who your ex-fiancée is. I'm just like a fool as I got the truth!"


Lloyd laughed, "Why do you say so?"


Ebony said, "Well, to be frank, I know I am not my father's biological daughter. According to Moses, my father is Stewart Gibson, and my mother is Chasidah Kelly. I was stolen when I was very young. And my youngest niece can walk now..."


Lloyd looked at her but did not make a sound.


Ebony crossed her arms and glared at Lloyd, "But you, you should be the first to know my identity, when did you know that I was your... your..."


Lloyd calmly filled in her words, "My fiancée."


Ebony sat down and explained to Lloyd carefully, "In fact, the engagement has broken. I'm not your fiancée, strictly speaking. Or, I'm your ex-fiancée. In fact, we're just friends now... "


Lloyd's face turned colder and colder as she was saying.


Ebony stumbled with the words, "Well, well, well. As you like, I'm your fiancée. Everyone likes you. I dare not displease you. So when exactly did you know?"


Lloyd was silent for a moment, saying, "Before the Survival Game."


Ebony popped up, "So early?"


Lloyd looked at her but did not make a sound.


Ebony frowned and said, "So you all knew so early? I'm the only one who didn't know?"


At this time, Lloyd pulled her down to sit, while saying, "We have been trying to find a way that you accept it."


Ebony stunned.


Lloyd gently squeezed her fingers, and said, "The truth is too cruel. We just hope not to hurt you..."


Ebony did not expect them to think this way.


She did not push away Lloyd's hand but just looked at him. After a long time, she said, "But I have known the truth. Lloyd, you have a happy family, right? But what if I tell you that your parents are not your biological parents? No one can accept it. More than twenty years' relationship is fake."


The man nodded and said in a slow voice, "I know."


Ebony lowered her eyelids, looked at her fingers, and said, "That's why you restored the house I lived in when I was a child, right?"


Lloyd did not make a sound.


Ebony looked up at him and suddenly smiled, "Thank you, Lloyd. Thank you for taking care of me in such a gentle way. Thank you for leaving the most precious memories of my childhood for me. Thank you for telling me that you are not trying to deprive me of my relationship with the Jane family. You are just touching me very carefully and coming close to me..."


Lloyd hugged her to his chest, touching the back of her head and saying, "Everyone loves you very much."


Ebony did not push away Lloyd. With her jaw on Lloyd's shoulder blade, she looked at the empty wall in front of her, and said, "Moses told me that the Gibson family had lived a very painful life over the years since they lost me... I never knew that when I was living happily around my father, grandfather, and grandmother in my youth, the Gibson family suffered a lot because of me..."


Lloyd rubbed her cheeks with his fingertips and soothed her, "It's not your fault. None of this is your fault."


Ebony pursed her lips. She looked at the black carpet on the ground, quiet for a moment, and said, "Actually, it's not hard for me to call them brother and mom, right?"


The man gazed at the girl's pitch-black pupils.


He nodded gently, "Yes, it's not hard. But if you don't fit in for a while, you can try to call me as an experiment first."


Ebony was stunned, "Experiment?"


Lloyd said, "Call me honey to adapt to it."
