Lily Turner suddenly spoke, and Easton Holmes turned towards her in a flash, the room was very dark without any light, but from her tone, he could feel she wasn’t joking with him.
"You..."
"You should genuinely consider me your wife, not just in words."
Before Easton’s words could leave his mouth, Lily took the lead, speaking quickly as she worried she might not be able to voice her thoughts if she took too long.
The man turned over, lying face-to-face with the woman.
Easton clasped Lily’s chin, pulling her closer, the lack of light in the room significantly affecting his vision.
But at that moment, he wasn’t using his eyes to see, instead he was using his heart to feel her presence.
"Be it verbally or in my heart, I’ve always regarded you as my wife," he said with unwavering determination, without any hesitation.
"If you truly consider me your wife in your heart, then why don’t you tell me things? And why do you keep avoiding me?" Lily didn’t remove the hand gripping her chin, letting it stay, for she feared losing the courage to face him if she did.
At this point, Easton finally understood what Lily’s real concern was, and he let out a deep sigh, "Our Lily truly observes carefully, she even noticed my avoidance. I guess I’ll have to be more careful in the future."
He spoke half-jokingly, half-seriously, knowing that realizing this had eased his previously tightened heart.
"Yes, you must be on your best behavior in the future, or if I catch you, you’ll see." Easton’s casual reference to "our Lily" was not only a sweet sound to Lily’s ears but also deeply warmed her heart.
All her earlier frustrations disappeared in an instant because of his words.
In a better mood, she started joking with him.
Easton deeply felt Lily’s joy, and he lowered his head to give her a kiss, "At your command, my dear wife! I’ll be sure to behave myself from now on."
After speaking, he couldn’t resist kissing her again.
"That’s more like it."
Lily moved closer to Easton, removing his hand from her chin and placing it on her waist, snuggling into his embrace.
"Wife! You’re tempting me too much."
The sudden softness made his body tense instantly, though he rationally knew he should push her away, he truly couldn’t bear to, he really couldn’t.
Easton suddenly lowered his head and kissed the woman in his arms passionately.
The unexpected kiss stunned Lily. This wasn’t what she wanted; she didn’t mean to ignite anything, she just wanted to have a proper talk with him, but somehow it turned into this.
"Mmm... mmm..."
As her mouth protested, her hands didn’t idle either, she pushed against the man forcefully, but her push only resulted in her hands being restrained and held even tighter.
No, this isn’t right!
It’s not yet past the three-month danger period.
Lily shouted in her mind, but Easton’s rationality was now engulfed by desire, everything about him ruled by it.
Bzzz bzzz bzzz!
Just then, the phone in his pocket buzzed loudly.
In the silent night, the phone’s vibration was particularly loud, sounding particularly grating to a certain man’s ears.
