After speaking, James didn’t linger. With long, steady strides, he headed straight to the guest room to take a shower. Lily was absolutely exhausted, so she didn’t waste any time either. She quickly took a shower, then curled up under the soft, warm covers and drifted off to sleep in a daze.

When James returned from his shower, this was the sight that greeted him.

The girl was bundled up tightly in the blankets, only her clean, delicate face peeking out–she looked impossibly sweet, like she could do no wrong.

And yet, just last night, he had pressed her down beneath him, nearly lost all control… Lost and bewildered, he reached up and touched his own chest.

I only have one heart, just one. And yet, how is it that I keep confusing Lily for Leila, unable to resist her body? I’m despicable; filthy: utterly depraved

The more James thought about it, the more he loathed himself. He couldn’t bear to look at Lily’s face, the one that always made his heartbeat spiral out of control–so he fled the room, nearly panicked, and shut himself inside the study.

His phone had been lost in the river’s turbulent current; but he had a backup. After reinstalling Instagram. he could still message Leila. Consumed with shame and self–disgust, he desperately wanted to say sorry to

her.

He felt utterly filthy–his body tainted, his heart even more so. But Leila’s grandfather was seriously ill, and his last wish was to see Leila married with children. They had agreed to part ways completely, and James couldn’t bring himself to disturb her again.

All he could do was zoom in on her cartoon avatar, tracing that cute and mischievous little icon again again, his voice hoarse, “Lillse… I’m sorry. I’m not worthy of you.

He was fickle, weak–willed. So if his Lillse no longer wanted him, he had no one to blame but himself.

In the days that followed, James left early and returned late; Lily was busy with Cherry rehearsals. Aside from occasionally sharing breakfast, the two of them hardly crossed paths.

Originally, when Ivan told Henry that James and Lily had kissed, the old man had been full of hope and excitement.

But now, seeing them sit at the breakfast table without so much as a glance toward each other, that little spark of hope in Grandpa’s heart was quickly snuffed out by a cold wave of disappointment.

He realized then that their so–called kiss must have been nothing more than an accidental collision. His eldest grandson was probably still gay, not even a girl as gentle and lovely as Lily could change that.

And when he accidentally overheard Ivan and Ashton gossiping–saying that his grandson had been out on a date, hugging and flirting with some horrifically ugly girly–man–his heart sank even deeper. He figured that if James really brought home someone that appalling, the whole family line would be rolling in outrage. He was determined. Everyone had to pull together and set his grandson straight.

That night just so happened to be the birthday banquet for Simon’s mother. As juniors, James, Lily, and

Ivan naturally had to attend.

Henry gave strict instructions for James to take good care of Lily during the banquet, and told Ivan not to be a third wheel to the young couple. He also told him to keep his eyes open and make sure no male seducers tried to steal James‘ attention. Only then did Henry clutch his chest and moan his way back to his

room..

Lily really couldn’t stand that weindo Simon.

But she’d met Mary once before and had a good impression of her.

Besides, she and James weren’t divorced yet, and Mary was technically her aunt–in–law. Since Henry had asked her to attend with James, she couldn’t exactly refuse.

Mary reminded her a lot of Nancy–both were bold, dazzling, and breathtakingly beautiful women with strong personalities.

When Lily arrived at the Bale family estate with James and Ivan, Mary took her hand and chatted warmly with her for quite a while before finally letting her go.
