Lily turned to face the man standing behind her, and for a moment, she was struck speechless. He was undoubtedly the most handsome man she had ever encountered, in this life or the one before it.

Everything about him seemed flawless. It was often said that a beautiful woman could bring down nations. but this man’s looks seemed powerful enough to conquer the entire world. He exuded an indescribable noble aura, and every inch of him radiated a magnetic charm that was almost impossible to resist. His hypnotic eyes seemed to draw her in, making her feel as though her very soul was being captured.

“How did you know?” she asked, her voice slightly slurred as she swayed unsteadily.

Ethan’s brows knitted slightly as he noticed her unsteady stance. “I have good eyes,” he replied simply.

Lily chuckled, her laughter soft and light. “That you do… Your eyes are truly mesmerizing. It’s like they can capture someone’s soul.”

Ethan had heard countless compliments about his appearance before. Many people admired his looks, and he was well aware of the effect he had on others. Yet, something about her words made his heart swell. Just that one line from her felt more meaningful than all the admiration he had received in his entire life.

As she laughed, her balance faltered, and she seemed on the verge of falling. Ethan instinctively opened his arms, ready to catch her, but she managed to steady herself at the last moment. He frowned slightly, lowering his arms in disappointment.

His gaze lingered on her, concern creeping into his expression. Was she drunk? He moved a little closer. leaning in to sniff the air around her. To his surprise, there was no strong smell of alcohol. His eyes dropped to the glass of wine in her hand, realization dawning on him. One glass–just one–was enough to make her tipsy.

He nodded to himself, filing the thought away. Note to self: never let Lily drink wine again.

While Ethan was busy assessing her state and making mental notes about how to take care of her, Lily was lost in her own thoughts. Strangely, she didn’t feel any discomfort when he leaned in close. In fact, his proximity amused her. She let out a small laugh.

“Why are you sniffing me? Are you a dog?” she teased, her tone light and playful.

Ethan froze, momentarily at a loss for words.“..
