My pulse jittered and my heart began to beat like crazy as his gaze lingered in the window where I stood. Recovering from shock, I jumped away from the window and hastily closed the curtains with my trembling fingers.
My goodness! Did he see me? The question thundered inside my head, making me breathless.
My palms turned cold as ice and I brushed them against each other to create some heat to ease their stiffness.
“Are you okay, Miss Lily?” Christina asked.
My eyes shifted to her. She had just finished placing the food on top of the table and was waiting for me to eat. However, eating is the last thing on my mind now. After seeing my ex-husband, I lost my appetite.
“I'm fine.” I replied.
“Are you sure?” Christina asked politely out of concern. “You looked pale as though you'd seen a ghost.” She added with worry in her eyes.
