Aurora stared at Lily in utter disbelief, her eyes wide as she stammered, “He… h–he’s your husband?”

Lily nodded gently, a soft smile playing on her lips.

Aurora gasped, her gaze darting toward the man sitting beside her idol. She studied his face carefully and couldn’t help but nod in approval. His sharp features, undeniable charm, and confident demeanor made him look like the perfect match for Lily. Together, they looked like a couple straight out of a dream.

What stood out even more to Aurora was the way the man’s eyes never left Lily. His gaze was filled with warmth, admiration, and a love so genuine that it made her heart swell. It was clear that this man adored her idol beyond measure. Seeing Lily, the actress she admired, in such a happy and loving relationship brought Aurora a deep sense of joy.

But as she continued to observe the man, a nagging sense of familiarity tugged at her memory. She tilted her head slightly, squinting as if that would help her piece things together. Where had she seen him before?

No, he couldn’t be a celebrity, she thought, shaking her head firmly. If he were famous, she would have instantly recognized him. So who was he?

“Ethan…” she whispered the name Lily had mentioned earlier, her voice trailing off as her mind worked furiously to connect the dots.

Suddenly, it hit her like a bolt of lightning. Her eyes widened in shock, and she gawked at the man as if he were a ghost. Ethan. The name echoed in her mind. The Ethan–one of the most influential businessmen in the world, hailed as the most handsome man alive and the epitome of the ideal husband.

Aurora couldn’t believe it. The man she had only seen in newspapers, on TV, or across the internet was sitting right in front of her. And not just that–he was married to Lily! Her shock turned into a squeal of excitement.

“AHHH! Miss Lily and Mr. Ethan are such a perfect couple!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine delight.

Lily chuckled softly, raising a hand to calm the overexcited fan. “Thank you, but please keep this a secret for

now.”

Aurora nodded eagerly, her expression one of fierce determination. “Of course! You can count on me!”

The two women continued their conversation, discussing various plans Lily had in mind. Aurora listened intently, hanging onto every word like a diligent student in a classroom. She nodded enthusiastically at every point Lily made, her respect for her idol deepening with each passing moment.
