“Don’t bother clinging to John anymore! Since my cousin wants me to be with you, even if I think you’re beneath me, I won’t disappoint him!”

Lily understood instantly.

So that was it–Simon had shown up at the Luke residence early in the morning with roses, all to give James the freedom to chase his dreams?

Well, she wanted James to be free too.

But even if she had to put on a show, she wasn’t about to do it with a walking disaster like Simon.

She hadn’t snapped at him earlier purely out of respect for James.

But now that James wasn’t in the car, she had no reason to spare Simon any dignity.

Her face turned cold as she shoved the bouquet back into his arms. “Simon, are you brain–damaged or just born with bubbles for brains? When have I ever clung to John? He’s the one who keeps pestering me! I’d be thrilled if he and Elsa locked themselves together forever–just so he’d stop bothering me! Elsa’s head over heels for him… If you really care so much about Elsa, you should be tying John to her, not throwing tantrums in front of me! And don’t worry, you don’t have to force yourself to look up‘ to me–because I can’t stand you either!”

“Lily!”

Hearing her say she didn’t want to be disturbed by John… for some reason, Simon felt unexpectedly pleased.

But the second she called him brain–bubbled and said she couldn’t stand him, his devil–may–care face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a burnt pot.

“You think I want to be with you? I came to find you today because I don’t want you interfering with my cousin’s pursuit of happiness! For his sake, I’ll try to get along with you. Even if I don’t like you, I’ll try not to fight with you anymore.”

He sounded genuinely aggrieved.

Lily couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She had no interest in wasting another second with him and cut straight to the point. “I don’t need you forcing yourself to deal with me. I don’t need your self–sacrifice. I’ve already found someone I want to date. Even if it doesn’t work out in the end, I won’t get in the way of James chasing what he wants. I’ve got money. If I wanted to keep a hot young boytoy with a great body, I could do it in minutes. I could pay a gigolo to fake–date me and still wouldn’t need you acting like it’s some big sacrifice to be around me. Besides…”

Lily gave Simon a disgusted once–over.

“…Any man over twenty–five is basically sixty–five. So if you really think I’d be with a geriatric like you, you think my grandma would be okay with that? You’re the one dragging your feet, pretending to suffer–that’s the real thing standing in the way of James‘ freedom and true love! Stay away from me from now on. Don’t

Simon worked out religiously. His pecs and abs were sharp and defined–he even had an eight–pack.

He could lift her with one arm. What kind of sixty–five–year–old man could do that?

Up ahead, a little boy darted into the road on a balance bike.

The driver slammed the brakes. Lily and Simon, caught off guard, were thrown forward into each other.

Lily jumped in fright.

Kids running around like that was terrifying. Luckily, there was no crash.

In that violent jolt, she’d grabbed onto something instinctively when she collided with Simon.

Still shaken, she didn’t realize she’d grabbed the front of his shirt.

Simon noticed immediately.

Today, his shirt had the top three buttons undone, as usual.

He could clearly feel her hand press against his chest.

Her body, her touch–so soft.

With her curled up in his arms like that, suddenly… he didn’t want to argue anymore.

Even though she’d just called him a sixty–five–year–old man.

Once the boy regained balance and ran off, Lily finally let out a long breath.

The way her face tilted, her nose brushed right under his chin. His face turned lava–hot.

If she just tilted her head up a little, her lips would meet his.

Her fingertips were still resting on his chest.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that she was shameless enough to take advantage of him–kiss him, grope him, maybe even-

Simon’s every

breath was like fire.

Flustered and defensive, he had no idea what to do with himself. The only thing he could manage was to bark out a warning to mask how hard his heart was pounding.
