He didn’t doubt her loyalty, but if their positions were reversed, and she had to listen to him pledge eternal love to another woman for ten straight minutes, she would be jealous too.
She stopped resisting. Instead, she looped her arms around his neck, letting him deepen the kiss, letting his strong hands roam freely over her.
Lily..
James wanted nothing more than to take her completely, to close every inch between them.
But she was pregnant. He didn’t dare push too far, afraid of harming the child she carried.
After devouring her in a fierce kiss, James was still breathing hard, holding her tight, his face buried in the crook of her neck as he struggled to steady himself.
“James, all of that is in the past
Thinking about the foolish things she had once done for John, Lily felt a flicker of gui’ She stroked the back of James’s head gently, coaxing him like one would a child
“Back then, I was young, naive, and all alone. I mistook the test bit of warmth someone gave me for the greatest salvation, and almost wasted half my life because of it. The truth was just desperate to hold on to a rare moment of comfort, I’ve figured in have a shred of feeling for him anymore-only disgust. The man I truly like you
“Mm.” never my salvation. I nd I’ve let it go. I don’t you, James. I only like
Hearing her sweet, velvety voice, James’s jealousy-drenched heart finally began to revive.
The night wind was strong, and Lily felt a little cold.
Seeing the window open, she spoke in a teasing, coaxing tone, “Go close
“And draw the curtains while you’re at it.” the window for me.”
The villa was just the two of them, so even if they were intimate with the curtains open, no one would see. Still, leaving them open made her feel oddly self-conscious, like she couldn’t completely let go.
“Mm”””
James didn’t want her to catch a chill.
Her neckline was a me from his earlier kisses, so he gently set her down on the bed, wrapped her in a small blanket, and quickly went to close the window and pull the curtains.
From this window, you could see the front gates of the villa.
And with the gate lights on, James clearly saw John standing outside, holding a bouquet of bright red roses.
Clearly, he hadn’t given up. He still wanted Lily back.
James’s eyes went cold in an instant.
He shut the window with a sharp click, yanked the curtains closed, and turned back toward Lily with the heat of jealousy surging through him again.
“It’s actually kind of hot under this blanket, Lily murmured, sull oblivious to the danger.
She yawned. I’m so sleepy… I’m going to take a shower.
“James, why don’t you use the bathroom in the other bedroom? If we both hurry, we can rest sooner. I’m about to fall asleep on my feet.”
Wiping away the tears from her yawn, she started to get up to head to the bathroom-only to be suddenly pinned down by James’s solid weight, like a predator claiming its prey.
His lips came down on hers without warning, hot and possessive, burning with jealousy and the need to claim her.
His hand clamped firmly around her slim waist. Lily was speechless.
Hadn’t she just calmed him down?
How had sending him to close a window and draw the curtain made him come back like this, as if ready to devour her again?
What was out there a matchstick? Something to set off all this jealousy
James, what’s gotten into you? Can’t we-mmph-at least wait until after I shower.
He didn’t hear a word.
When she told him to stop, he kissed her harder.
When she mentioned a shower, he only became more relentless.
She and Zhou Xing had accepted an invitation from a production crew to record a duet for a drama’s ending theme tomorrow-one with a traditional opera touch.
She had no desire to show up with lips swollen like sausages under everyone’s curious stares.
She was about to try again to get him to ease up when her phone rang, sharp and urgent.
Seizing the chance, she quickly answered without even checking the caller ID-hoping it would get him to pause.
Unfortunately, it was John, calling from a secondary number.
She barely had the phone to her ear when his voice, thick with pitiful pleading, spilled through the line.
“Lily, I really regret it, I shouldn’t have put the wedding dress you made with your own hands on Elsa I shouldn’t have gone behind your back to give her a wedding just to fulfill her last wish. I shouldn’t have given her your parents’ keepsakes. I shouldn’t have hurt you over and over again for Elsa… Simon will be with Elsa at the end. I swear I’ll never see her again. Lily, I’m begging you-please don’t leave me. Just give me one last chance, okay? I’m right outside James’s villa now. I bought the roses you like. It’s raining out here, you-
Lily wanted to tell John to get lost.
She didn’t want another second of his disgusting presence in her life.
But hearing his voice only spurred James on.
She opened her mouth several times to curse John out, but couldn’t get a sound past James’s relentless kisses-leaving him free to plunder her mouth without restraint.
When she finally managed to wrestle her voice back, the first words that sprang to mind were all for telling
John exactly what she thought of him.
John, you weirdo-can’t you stop being such a constant, vile nuisance?
Take your roses and get lost. Don’t dirty the road outsitle the villa,
It’s raining-why can’t a downpour just finish off a filthy cucumber like you?
Lily had thought of countless ways to curse John out.
She really believed she’d be able to unleash them this time
– Colos
But just as she opened her mouth, James’s hands suddenly tightened. Si the words out, producing only strange, muffled sounds.. helplessly, unable to get
“Mmph..”
“Lily”
Outside the villa gates, John’s face turned ashen, like it had been smeared with a layer of cold dust.
His voice cracked in pain, as though it had been ground beneath a car tire. “What are you doing? What is James doing to you?”
Now Lily understood perfectly-James was doing it on purpose!
Realizing she couldn’t get a single proper insult out, she refused to waste another second listening to John’s nonsense. She hung up immediately and blocked the number.
“Lily!”
Staring at the black screen of his phone, John was on the verge of collapsing into madness.
He stabbed at the doorbell over and over, like a desperate beast ramming itself against a cage, as if he could smash the gate open with sheer flesh and bone.
No one answered.
In fact, James must have set it up so that when John pressed the bell again, it didn’t even make a sound.
Thinking about the breathless noises he’d heard from Lily on the phone, John felt like a thousand knives were stabbing straight into his chest. Ile bent forward sharply, gasping.
“Don’t let James touch you… don’t let him touch you…”
His voice grew hoarser and more ragged with each repetition, but he still shouted, “James, I forbid you to touch her! Don’t touch her. Lily, I’m not lying, it’s really raining! I’m getting soaked out here..”
The only answer was the sound of the rain, falling heavier and heavier, each drop striking his skin with a sting-
The roses in his arms were already battered and torn apart by the wind and rain, petals scattered like blood on the wet ground..
But he clung to them stubbornly, straightening his back as if possessed, calling Lily’s name again and again.
He knew Lily was utterly disappointed in him-knew she didn’t want him anymore.
But he still refused to believe that all their years together meant less than the few short months she’d spent with James.
He refused to believe that the woman who had once loved him wholly, who had once seen no one else. could see him drenched to the bone and feel nothing-not a flicker of concern.
“Lily, you said you’d never leave me you can’t go back on your word I w you, shouldn’t have doubted you. I’ll kneel right here and beg you, just de
Clutching the ruined roses tighter, he sank to his knees in the storm.
John had been to rock bottom before. ng. I shouldn’t have hurt alone..”
Even in his hardest, most bitter moments, he had clung to his pride, unwilling to bow to anyone.
He was used to Lily being the one to soften after a fight, to coax him back to her.
But now he had a deep, gnawing certainty-if he kept hiding behind that so-called pride, if he didn’t bow his head to her, she really would be gone for good.
And in every path he had imagined for his future, she had always been there beside him. He couldn’t bear the thought of her walking away from his life.
“Lily, I’m begging you, just look at me one more time. Don’t throw me away..”
The wind and rain roared louder, and with the windows shut tight, Lily couldn’t hear a word.
Even if she had, she wouldn’t have cared-wouldn’t have felt the slightest pang of sympathy. At most, she’d have been disgusted.
When James finally released her, she was as soft and unsteady as water, her clothes in complete disarray. checks flushed like spring blossoms, her delicate waist and graceful frame yielding against the bed. Her pale skin glowed with tempting warmth, every line of her body a vision of beauty.
The sight made James’s throat go dry all over again.
Afraid that his self-control might snap and he’d lose all restraint, he forced himself to tear his gaze away.
He’d thought about helping her bathe.
But he knew all too well-if he carried her into that bathroom, there would be nothing pure about it His voice was hoarse. T’ll go shower in the other room. You.. you can use this one after you rest a bit.”
Even without looking back at the exquisite vision on the bed, just hearing the faint rhythm of her breathing kept the heat rising under his skin.
He didn’t dare linger another second. With long, decisive strides, he left the room almost like a man fleeing a fire.
That kiss just now had been far too long-far too consuming-
And those hands of his, for all their long-fingered elegance and cool composure, had been anything but restrained.
Even though she was pregnant and he’d been careful not to go too far, she still felt as though she’d been through a fierce battle-drained, limp, with no strength left at all.
Lily lay on the bed for several minutes before puffing her cheeks and pushing herself up to head for the shower.
Honestly, that cold, untouchable face of his was nothing but a scam..
