Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband
Chapter 41

Ethan wanted to say the words lingering on the tip of his tongue, but he held back. “No, I don’t like you,” he said instead, knowing full well the truth was far more profound. He wanted to tell her he loved her, but he feared that revealing his feelings now might end their fragile bond before it even began.
He was acutely aware of how deeply her past heartbreak had scarred her. The betrayal she suffered from Ryan had left her distrustful, and Ethan had vowed to himself to heal her wounds. He wanted to be the one to fill the cracks in her heart, but he knew he had to tread carefully. He couldn’t afford to scare her away. Slowly but surely, he would work his way into her heart, ensuring that when he took his place there, it would be forever.
Hearing his reply, Lily sighed in relief, though an unexpected pang of sadness crept into her chest. She didn’t understand why his words left her feeling so conflicted. “Good,” she muttered, suppressing a yawn.
“Why did you ask?” Ethan inquired, his curiosity piqued.
“No reason,” she shrugged, avoiding his gaze.
“Liar,” he said with a teasing smile. “I know why you asked.”
Her eyes widened slightly. “You do?”
He nodded confidently. “It’s because you’ve started liking me, right? My kiss made you fall in love with me. And let’s not forget how handsome and irresistible I am. You couldn’t help yourself, could you?”
Lily rolled her eyes but decided to play along. “Yeah, that’s exactly it, Ethan. I’ve completely fallen for you.”
Her response caught him off guard. He had only meant to tease her and hadn’t expected such a bold reply. “Really?” he asked, leaning closer to her.
She smirked. “Of course not. You’re delusional if you think one kiss is enough to make me fall in love with you.”
Relief washed over him, and his lips curled into a mischievous smile. Unbuttoning the top of his shirt, he leaned in slightly, his tone turning playful. “Would you like more, then?”
