Chapter 1420: Chapter 1417: The Feeling of Being Protected by Brother and Son (Extra 1)

"We were too harsh just now..."

"We judged too quickly without knowing the whole story, and wronged a good person."

"I’m sorry—"

Three young girls were bowing apologetically in front of Lily, their attitude seeming sincere.

Lily knew, of course, that their hearts weren’t bad; they were merely fond of standing up for what’s right and were too impulsive, which led to their misunderstanding of her.

"Let it go. It was just a trifle, all a big misunderstanding," Lily said, taking out her wallet. "How much is the cleaning fee for the sofa? Tell me so I can compensate you."

With Lily being so magnanimous, the three waitresses were reluctant to accept her money, insisting repeatedly that it wasn’t necessary.

Finding herself unable to insist, Lily had to let it go.

Seeing that Lily wasn’t holding a grudge, the three immediately breathed sighs of relief.

One of the girls couldn’t help herself and handed a small notebook to David Redington.

"Heartthrob... I, I’m your fan. Since you retired, I’ve been looking forward to your comeback... could you, could you give me an autograph?"

The apology had suddenly turned into a request for an autograph, and Lily felt it was a bit off.

But David Redington didn’t even glance at the girl; instead, he asked Lily,

"Lily, what exactly happened?" His concern for his sister was clear; he knew these three girls had had an unpleasant encounter with Lily before.

Upon seeing the three young girls ignored by David Redington and immediately lowering their gazes, burying their faces even lower,

Lily felt a twinge of pity as the girls’ embarrassment deepened.

"It’s nothing, just a little misunderstanding."

Lily wanted to calm the situation, but David Redington was not so willing.

He was protective, extremely protective, especially of Lily.

Ignoring Lily’s attempt to defuse the situation, David Redington directly asked the three girls, "Could you tell me what misunderstanding you had with my sister, hmm?"

The heartthrob’s questioning tone made the girls’ hearts race.

Without waiting for him to ask again, they nervously explained everything that had happened.

"Heartthrob, we’re sorry... It wasn’t intentional. We just..."

"Yes, indeed it wasn’t intentional, you were just playing the hero, standing up for the villain," David Redington said coldly as he looked at them.

The three girls had thought an apology would earn them forgiveness.

They didn’t expect the woman they misunderstood, Lily, to be forgiving, but David Redington, their idol, was the one not willing to let it go.

"Heartthrob, we... we already know we were wrong, and we’ve apologized..." The young waitress felt wronged; they had apologized, so why couldn’t their heartthrob let it go?

David Redington’s deep blue eyes held not a shred of pity or compassion.

"Who says that an apology must be accepted?" His tone was cool, devoid of warmth.

"You judged by appearances and criticized my sister without a second thought. Luckily, my sister is strong-willed and wasn’t affected by your words. But if it had been someone else, could you guarantee they wouldn’t be upset by what you said?"

"It was just a little misunderstanding... We didn’t mean to do it. Even if this lady was misunderstood by us, she wouldn’t be affected by a few words, right?"

One of the waitresses, who wasn’t a fan of David Redington’s, thought he was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Her words had barely left her mouth when a crisp, stern young voice suddenly said, "But my mom has a baby in her belly."

Ben Lucas’s eyes were as cold as David Redington’s, and he didn’t give the girls any better treatment.

"Moreover, my mother was a paying customer in your store, entitled to your products and services. She should not have been subjected to your malicious speculation and criticism. You failed to do your job properly in the first place, misunderstanding my mother secondly. Even if an apology was needed, it should be your store manager who comes out and apologizes to my mother formally on behalf of the company."

Young Master Charlie, despite his young age, left the three waitresses speechless.

Especially when they learned that Lily was pregnant with a baby, they felt even more ashamed.

They... they had really taken too much for granted.

To wrong a pregnant woman as a mistress, especially during the early stages of her pregnancy, with scoffs and jeers...
