Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband by Isabella Reed

Chapter 110

“I love you too…”

Finished

The words slipped from Lily’s lips, soft yet powerful, carrying enough weight to send Ethan, who had been lounging on the couch, into a state of utter disbelief. His heart skipped a beat, then raced uncontrollably. He nearly leapt to his feet, his mind reeling.

Did she just say… she loves me?

He clutched his phone tightly, his other hand trembling slightly. “W–What did you just say?” he asked, his voice uncharacteristically nervous. His lips pressed together as he waited, both anxious and hopeful. He had heard her clearly, but a part of him longed to hear those three magical words again.

Lily, realizing what she’d said, felt her cheeks burn. Panic surged through her as she scrambled to backtrack. Clearing her throat, she quickly replied, “I said I’ll wait for you, Ethan. Why? What’s wrong?”

Ethan frowned slightly, his heart sinking. “Really? Lily, I thought—”

Before he could finish, Lily cut him off. “Ah, Ethan! My next scene is starting. I have to go now. Take care, okay? See you soon. Bye!”

And with that, the line went dead.

Ethan stared at his phone in silence for a moment, his initial disappointment melting into a soft chuckle. Despite her hasty retreat, he knew what he had heard. She had said it. She had finally said it. A warm smile spread across his face as a joyful laugh escaped him. The day he had been dreaming of–when Lily would openly declare her love for him–was closer than ever.

He leaned back on the couch, grinning like a lovestruck teenager.

Sitting nearby, James couldn’t ignore Ethan’s sudden change in demeanor. “Uh, Ethan?” he called hesitantly.

“Hm?” Ethan replied, still smiling down at his phone as if it were the source of all his happiness.

“Are you… okay? Should I call a doctor or something?” James asked, genuinely concerned.

Ethan finally looked up, his eyes sparkling with joy. “Jun, I’m more than okay. I’m so happy!”

James raised an eyebrow. “And why’s that?”

“She said it, Jun. She finally said it,” Ethan said with a laugh, standing up and pacing excitedly.
